Almost all web browsers have abandoned Gopher; access to Gopherspace now requires a bridge – a Gopherduct.

The plugin allows easy access to your Gopherhole from within WordPress.

This is a Beta version. “It Works For Me”, but there are almost certainly bugs.

Features

Gopherspace

The Gopherspace URL is appended to the HTTP URL (e.g. /gopherspace/0/my/foo/bar.md) so you can link directly from HTTP-space.

Gophermaps are rendered as a table with some basic styling; in future this will change to allow better integration with themes.

Currently implements only the basics – File, Directory (local only), HTML.

Next up will be Images, then Search.

Markdown

Files with an .md extension will be rendered as Markdown – no configuration necessary!

robots.txt

Gopherduct doesn’t yet do anything clever with the Gopherspace robots.txt file; for now, please remember to adjust your WordPress robots.txt file to preserve any exclusions etc.
