Chat Codes

In december 2011 i figured a way to send large "smileys" in the facebook messenger chat years before "stickers" was a thing.

I made the facebook page Chat Codes and a wordpress blog on turbolego.com to organize development of browser extensions, mobile apps and desktop apps to automate this process.

This GitHub repository is a static archive of turbolego.com since there's no reason to continue the development of this old method since facebook has implemented stickers and gifs in messenger now.

The costs for hosting turbolego.com has gone up year by year and hosting this static archive on GitHub Pages is free, so therefore i have archived it here.

And since GitHub Pages support custom domains, I'm not sure if anyone noticed lol

How to archive your old wordpress page and host it for free on GitHub Pages

I used the wordpress plugin All-in-One WP Migration and Backup to export the wordpress blog as one .wpress file.

Then i installed XAMPP to run wordpress locally on my own computer.

After installing wordpress locally on my computer, i installed the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup plugin and imported my .wpress file.

I then ran the Simply Static plugin to convert my wordpress blog to a static webpage that can be hosted on GitHub Pages.

I only took the extra steps with exporting the .wpress file, installing XAMPP and wordpress locally before running Simply Static because i got some weird errors.

If you want to convert your old wordpress blog to a static webpage that can be hosted on GitHub Pages, try running the Simply Static -plugin first, you might be lucky and don't have to mess with XAMPP.
