From the developers of WordPress comes new forum software called bbPress. Not only is this great news for people who just need forum software, this is awesome news for those who also use WordPress because of user integration. Still not convinced WordPress can function as a lightweight, fast CMS? bbPress is a huge step, in […]
I came across an awesome HOWTO on getting linux and games on your iPod. Now if I just had a color screen iPod (I have gen 2). On another note, WordPress.com now offers “VIP Hosting” which would be a great option for a few projects I am working on. Great job Automattic! [tags]iPod, linux, games, […]
I have been creating more CMS web site solutions using WordPress over the last year and and have collected some great resources along solid product right out of the box, it is highly configurable, there are endless plugins, and everything is well documented. So, if you are ever looking to build a web site using […]
There are few things that drive me more crazy than CSS, and yet I work with it and actually enjoy it on occasion (when it is all over and QA’ed). The last few days have been CSS hell. I will note that I have finally reached the point in my career where I use the […]
After reading a few crucial chapters of the PHP and MySQL Web Development book I purchased a few weeks ago (I am still plugging away at it), I have decided to finally begin the actual programming of my first WordPress plugin – WP-rssStats. (see my first wordpress plugin: WP-rssStats post for more info). At this […]
After talking to Scott I finally have a plugin which I am excited to develop and excited to share with the WordPress community…a plugin that will allow WordPress admins to see exactly how many people are subscribing to your WordPress RSS feed and who these people are. Why would I do this when Feedburner is […]
I have been gearing up to write a WordPress plugin for a week now in my “free time”. Since I will most likely write another plugin at some point or another, I wanted to document the resources I have found very helpful: WordPress Codex. This is a catch all for WordPress development. This site has […]
A big thanks to Scott for pointing me in the right direction. I just got back from the store with the huge book he recommended – PHP and MySQL Web Development. I plan to start work on my first “from scratch” WordPress plugin in the next few days. [tags]PHP, MySQL, WordPress[/tags]
The perfectionist in me wants to wait to introduce a new design, etc until everything is perfectly in place. But recently, I was reminded that “real artists ship“. I am starting to get more consulting business and I was unhappy with my business web site design. It was dark, uninviting, and just felt heavy. I […]
I decided to update WordPress to 2.0.1 and only have found an issue with one plugin (PageNavi). A huge thanks to the WordPress development team who have once again, released an easy-to-update release. As always, make sure you backup your WordPress install before upgrading. I also updated my Tasks Pro install yesterday to 1.6 and […]
I have been using open source solutions for over seven years now. (my first open source experience was with mailman and then ht://dig and squirrelmail soon after – all of which I still use today) I made it a priority to get involved with at least one open source project this year, and to start […]
Wow. Very cool. After several months of wanting to get around to setting up writing posts via email, I finally set it up. Now I can blog from my phone while on the train, in the car, etc. Sound cool? Set it up too! [tags]WordPress[/tags]
