Connect2Poetry


Part of the Tell Us Another One website, the Connect2Poetry website shows an interactive map of poetry plaques around Rochdale and invites visitors to download the Connect2Poetry app to find a plaque and write a poem there, to be shared back on the website.

The 43 plaques are on walking routes and cycle paths and the poem from each plaque can be viewed in a popup on the interactive map (provided by Google Maps API).

I built the page in the screenshot as a custom template on the existing Tell Us Another One website (WordPress) using a custom post type for the poems that feed into the map. The green signpost links on the right use CSS 3 styling and a web-font.

The poems produced in the app are automatically uploaded to a separate WordPress site which is designed to look consistent with this page.
