Isaac Keyet shared this morning that there are plans to migrate the existing forums and dev blogs for mobile-related development. This is based on the discussion and proposed changes via the #wordpress-mobile chat yesterday. Proposed changes are as follows:
Yup. It’s Wednesday. And we’re half-way through the week and for some of us this is a “great” day and for others this is a “not-so-great” day as we look behind us at the work done so far and look forward to all the work left to do in the week. But, this may be a slightly different week for some of us, especially if you’re taking the week off for Christmas and the holidays. So, what is your #humpday looking like? Share your stories, images, and anything else in the comments below.
Lorelle VanFossen has announced that she’s expanding her WordPress College Course to Portland Community College at Rock Creek – she has previously given the course at Clark College and the Clark College Corporate and CE. The goal? To get you ramped up with WordPress as quickly and effectively as possible! you’ll explore the application as a CMS, site structure, organization, and even development with a business mindset. Here’s the general curriculum outline that you can expect:
BuddyPress implementations are growing year-over-year but it’s always neat to find a somewhat non-conventional use that really shines. For example, the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) recently was voted to be one of the top 10 most innovative schools because of their implementation of BuddyPress for admissions, beating out the likes of Harvard for a higher slot in the ranking: The college admissions process is a painful experience for many hopeful students, filled with strict guidelines and often unhelpful officials. But the Milwaukee School of Engineering may have developed the solution. Their Bridge program is an original approach to the process of […]
Yes, that is the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” gif that many of us have experienced and it’s a part of the new Big Internet Museum that claims to be the world’s first museum with a diverse collection dedicated to the Internet. This is how they describe themselves: We seek to educate and inspire visitors from all over the world with an ever-growing collection about the Internet and the World Wide Web. Not only for this current generation, but also for generations to come. Remember the sound of a 56K dial-up modem? Your children probably don’t. In fact, chances are they don’t […]
It’s no question that as a piece of software gains popularity it also gains interest from those who would want to exploit it for their own gain. Most of us know this intimately if we’ve spent any time in the Windows environment as the security industry for malware and attacks on Windows-based PCs is huge! WordPress is only growing, now powering more than 17% of the top 1MM sites in the world – this makes it a prime target for hackers and malicious evildoers. An infographic via Page.ly shows some of this data cleverly:
VaultPress, one of the best real-time backup solutions for your WordPress blog, has updated their usability by adding a calendar view for those looking to revert back to a period of time. Before this it was a little bit difficult to pinpoint exactly what the right backup was if you were in a pinch. This intuitive interface is a much-needed addition to an already incredible service: We’ve added a list of calendars to your VaultPress dashboard. You can click around from day-to-day and see all of the backups for your site, restoring (or downloading) any one as needed. Each day […]
https://twitter.com/helenhousandi/status/281130273800859648 Congrats to Jon Cave and Helen Hou-Sandí who both have received core commit access, the former as a permanent committer and the latter being a guest (it’s worth noting that Jon has had core commit via guest but is now joining the core team with @koopersmith and @dd32). This is a great move as the team continues to expand the talent pool with individuals who have proven their commitment to WordPress and core development. We’re stoked to see it happen and want to wish them the very best – no need to be afraid though!
I just had the pleasure of being interviewed by Code Poet, a free resource for anyone who builds anything with WordPress. It’s an Automattic production so these are trusted resources coming right from the staff themselves – seriously worth a subscribe (and telling others about it). I share some thoughts about how I got started with WordPress and where it’s taken me. It’s honestly hard to imagine the impact that one piece of software could have on my short life so far – I felt like I could write a book on it so far and there’s still so much […]
It’s been an exciting year for iThemes and one of their flagship products, Builder, which has recently turned 3 years old. For those that are fairly new to WordPress that’s quite a bit of time considering how rapidly things change and how many theme shops and products come and go. Builder, which has always had the intent of making layout design and construction easy, has grown in popularity due to its ease of use and customization – something that many people require since they do not know any coding or software development. And to be honest, most people will find […]
