Wow! What a day! There’s some great conversation happening over here on our site today. I wish we got as many comments about new and updated themes and plugins as we do issues of GPL. Good stuff! We do have some new and updated plugins to share today though. Let us know if you are the author or have used any of these. Here they are:
Haz Time? Join Events Team!
Andrea Middleton, someone I’ve been in contact with for a bit since I’m helping to organize the local WordCamp Atlanta here in a few months, is looking for a few good men (and women) to join the events team. And you should join. Seriously.

Some highlights recently have been around auto-saving, post locking, and revisions.

The trend is nothing but up-and-to-the-right as more and more theme shops, individuals, and entrepreneurs are considering adding a hosted layer to their core offering and services.

A Response: ThemeForest Authors and WordCamps
I was really disappointed to hear recently that one of our ThemeForest authors, Jake Caputo aka Designcrumbs, had been barred from supporting, speaking at, and volunteering at WordCamps. It’s been a couple of years since Envato itself was restricted from supporting these events. As a company I feel there are plenty of other ways we can still support the WordPress ecosystem beyond the official Camps – e.g. meetups, teaching, and so on. But in the intervening time, I was happy that our authors continued attending and speaking at WordCamps – which was great. Many, like Jake, are amongst the most […]
