There weren’t any theme updates or new ones to check out today but a host of updates on the plugin side of things. So without further delay, here’s your daily scoop on the updated plugins for January 7th, 2013. … Sheesh, I’m still not used to typing out 2013, you know?
40+ Killer WordPress Desktop Wallpapers
It’s true. We can’t get enough of WordPress here at WP Daily. And yes, we’re those type of people that like to showcase it own our backs (great tshirts via WordCamps!), our bags (pins!), on our notebooks physically (stickers!), and even our desktop wallpapers.

How To Get Started Podcasting
By now, we’ve released a couple of episodes of Hello Dolly with several other episodes in the pipeline. Ultimately we’re looking to publish at least one episode per month.
