The team developing the Windows Phone app is doing a killer job, with more updates and releases recently than in the previous years and the app is getting better and better. With this big release of 2.0 you’re seeing such things as gallery support (which we love to use), direct dashboard access for those that are doing much management in the back. The fact that you can build the galleries though with all the trimmings in the app itself is going to be a great win for mobile bloggers and those journalists who are capturing their news on their phones […]

MP6 – Top Secret Plugin???
We found a secret plugin in today’s roundup and I wanted to spend a litte more time digging into it. The name of the plugin is MP6 and the author is Matt Mullenweg. It seems to be a plugin that is dedicated to UI changes for WordPress 3.6. Simplifying the wp-admin UI is a challenging task, as flattening the icons showed us when you improve one thing it just makes all of the other out of date elements stand out more. Trunk isn’t terribly well-suited for UI iteration, so this plugin is a chance for us to rapidly iterate in […]
