WordPress.com Connect is now available for third party developers. This new feature is comparable to Facebook Connect, Sign in with Twitter, and Open ID.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that WordPress 3.6 came out on the 1st of August. This version brings a few new functions while simultaneously refining the way you blog. Personally, I think the new revision system is a massive improvement over the old system. You can now see how many revisions there are for a post or page and scroll through the timeline quickly and get a visual difference between two adjacent versions. Or you can select “compare any two revisions” to get the specific comparison you need. It also shows you who made the changes […]

I want to cut through the confusion: A dedicated IP will not boost your […]

With all this talk about forking this past week I must have come up with about a thousand jokes (most involving spooning leading to forking). Unfortunately, discussing source code and software packages aren’t the typical topics of convo at the comedy clubs, so most of my friends thought I was just plain cuckoo… and, well, I probably am. And for all of you WordPress folks, I won’t torture you… I’ve already stuck a fork in my forking jokes. But I will offer you a Woo-free article to enjoy today. It is the weekend for Pete’s sake. Let’s laugh a little! […]

By trade, training, and education, I am a learning and development professional, which most people have no idea what that means, so instead I say this: I am a WordPress enthusiast. That is truly how I see myself. I’m super familiar with what not to do with WordPress, and feel lucky that I’ve converted a hobby into a full time venture! Meet Travis Smith, a WordPress developer who made his way over to WordPress from Blogger long, long ago. Doesn’t it seem like there are so many people who started out on other CMSs, had talent, and once they discovered […]
