I&#8217;m also a big fan of Pippin&#8217;s work, so I was confident that if I were to acquire this plugin, I&#8217;d get a high quality plugin.<\/p>\n<p>So, I reached out to him in the <a href=\"https:\/\/poststatus.com\">Post Status<\/a> Slack group hoping to work out a deal. I was really happy when we managed to negotiate a deal in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Why I Wanted To Acquire A Plugin<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve created dozens of plugins over the years and it has always been really hard to start from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, when creating a plugin, you have to find a need in the marketplace and create a solution. That&#8217;s not a very easy task to begin with. Hours of research goes into the initial idea creation phase. Then, you have to actually code a solution that not only addresses the need but does so in a user friendly manner.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created the solution, you need to find customers who have the problem you are trying to solve.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m simplifying the process a bit, but the point is that it&#8217;s really difficult to launch new products from scratch.<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing Full Screen Background Images<\/h2>\n<p>Full Screen Background Images was created by Pippin Williamson about 7 years ago. During that time it has accumulated about 20,000 active installs of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/simple-full-screen-background-image\/\">free version<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/fullscreenbackgroundimages.com\">paid version<\/a> also received a decent stream of income during that time.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does Full Screen Background Images do?<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty fortunate to be acquiring a plugin with a\u00a0<em>very<\/em> descriptive name. Essentially, the plugin provides an easy way to upload an image that will be stretched across the entire background of the page. It can use one &#8220;global&#8221; background image that&#8217;s used on the entire website, or it can use a different image on every page on your site. This includes the category, archive, individual pages, individual posts (including custom post types), blog page, front page, and search page.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next For Full Screen Background Images?<\/h2>\n<p>Pippin has been gracious enough to provide me with a list of some of the more common feature requests. I&#8217;ll definitely start to tackle those items really soon. There are also a few improvements that will certainly help the end user&#8217;s experience. I hope to make the plugin as easy and efficient to use as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime if you want to check out the plugin, head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/fullscreenbackgroundimages.com\">FullScreenBackgroundImages.com<\/a> where it&#8217;s new home is. Also follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fullscreenbgimg\">@fullscreenbgimg<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/fullscreenbackgroundimages\">Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0to get inspiration for your site&#8217;s background images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple weeks ago, Pippin Williamson tweeted that he was looking for a new caretaker and owner of his plugin Full Screen Background Images.\u00a0In recent years the plugin took a back seat to other projects that Pippin and the rest of Sandhills Development have been working on.
