The work is never done, is it? With the recent release of 3.5 the team is taking a small break and coming back in January to start working towards 3.6. But that doesn’t mean that people can’t start bringing ideas to the table and submitting tickets. Andrew Nacin has already put up some thoughts about the newer jQuery 1.9 Beta 1 to trunk: The release cycle for WordPress 3.6 isn’t going to start until January, but we can of course start to drop in some early things before then. (This worked out nicely before the start of 3.5.) With that […]

Ever since I published a small post on Andrew Norcross’ killer tattoo I’ve gotten some links sent to me about other art done that’s just as cool. Here are some sweet WordPress-related tattoos that show off some true zeal and passion:

WordPress.com Stats Now Show Unique Visitors

There’s been a neat update to all of our stat packages which now showcase unique visitors as well as overall pageviews – this is still available to self-hosted users but it doesn’t appear to be active in your actual self-hosted admin – you’ll have to check out your WordPress.com stats dashboard directly to see the figures. I’m sure they’ll eventually bring this view directly into your own self-hosted blog but for now just head over to the other dash: Hover over a day, week, or month in the chart to see how many views and unique visitors you had. To […]

If you have a self-hosted blog you’re more than likely on one of the larger web hosting providers and they have also most likely served your general needs and you may not have had many problems with them so far. But if you do you may be looking for a little more dedicated support around WordPress than the more generalized web hosting services – that’s where the rise and growth of WordPress-centric managed hosting may come into play. These web hosts specialize in WordPress development, architecture, and support and some are exclusive only to WordPress-powered clients, sites, and blogs. In […]

Yesterday Jane Wells created a call-to-action to help create a native Twitter importer for archived tweets, a new feature that Twitter is releasing that is helping to support their growing “more open” strategy. ***Note*** This won’t be in core, this will be as a plugin as the other importers have been. Clarified! The roll-out of downloading your archived tweets is still pending for many users and you’ll get an invite via your email to know that the feature is active – I have yet to get one personally but can’t wait to download my nearly 40,000 tweets – I’m not sure […]

I love all of the resources that are readily available to us via the WordPress community and core team – in fact, if you just dig a little you’ll encounter a host of knowledge that you may not have been aware of that has already been created. For example, accessibility is a huge focus for WordPress as the goal is to enable and support as many people as possible, even those with disabilities or handicaps. Accessibility is more than just design – it’s a way of thinking and building applications and crafting an experience that makes sense: Accessibility in web […]

There is a large and continual debate as to whether or not you should build your WordPress blog and site to be responsive or if you should go native or have a server-side solution. I think you can argue strongly on all sides as long as you have a legitimate reason and motivation for developing that particular solution – it can’t just be “well, X does it so we’ll do it too!” Check out this white-paper by Mobile Joomla and Brave New Code as well as related infographic below:
