We shared last week that the WooThemes Team had a neat little video that they were producing that was going to come out shortly – well, @CoenJacobs shared this morning that it was live! Check out the video – it’s more than just paintball, it’s a story about how WooThemes came together as a team and how they created one of the biggest Theme Shops in the world.
Jennifer M. Dodd (or better known as @jmdodd on the web) has recently been accepted into the bbPress family with core commit access. She’s been around since bbPress 2 and has been commended by many for her contributions to the plugin: Jennifer has been a prolific bbPress plugin developer and core contributor since bbPress 2 was first introduced. Her ability to iterate and improve on core patches, her outstanding communication skills, and her knowledge of the codebase, make her a great addition to the bbPress team. We’re stoked to see this type of enthusiasm be rewarded with even greater opportunity and […]
Metro UK, the 3rd largest national newspaper in their region says goodbye to a custom CMS and into our waters with WordPress via Automattic’s VIP Services. Welcoming such a large digital publisher and player makes me smile a ton since this means more and more people, daily, will be getting their content via the best publishing platform on the planet. That’s just a big win for all of us, isn’t it? In addition to the obvious refresh their mobile experience was also updated so their’s a fluidity and consistency with the experience. I checked it out on my iPad Mini […]
Oh yeah! It’s finally here! Much thanks and congrats to the team and all of the contributors for WordPress 3.5 – your hard work and dedication continues to power millions of people’s work. We appreciate you guys! Now you may have already downloaded some of the release candidates and are running them on your blog right now but I’d love to see what people’s first impressions (were) are of 3.5? What catches your attention, what are you really digging in this latest release?
Nice. It seems everything is updating in preparation for WordPress 3.5. One less ticket than the BuddyPress 1.6.2 update, it also includes a few points of compatibility. Now bbPress is something that I’ve used a lot before and something I’ve considered using even for this community – not sure how it would be implemented but I think there will be a lot more discussion that has (and will) go on beyond every blog post. Thoughts on using some forum software or bbPress? I’d love to keep it in the Automattic-family if possible but no biggie if not.
BuddyPress has just released version 1.6.2 with 11 tickets closed including a change on the wp_create_thumbnail() being deprecated in WordPress 3.5. It should be an easy update for those running BuddyPress 1.5/1.6 and are updating to WordPress 3.5, which should drop today if nothing changes dramatically. You a fan of BuddyPress? Show us your installation! I’d love to see your implementation.
Well, it looks like LinkedIn and WordPress are ending their sweet sweet relationship as their WordPress app is being let go tomorrow. They are rolling this change in with a new look set to be released as well which boasts a more simplified design, deeper insights, and new ways to “connect” and “build” relationships. I’m not a super-fan of LinkedIn but I have one because some of the sites that I’m apart of literally require an account to get in. But you can still (and perhaps have) drop your WordPress blog content into LinkedIn via Jetpack by connecting the two […]
January is just around the corner and there are six (count ’em), six WordCamps that are happening in six different countries and only one in the US of A. I think this clearly shows the universal play that WordPress has around the globe and I’m so stoked that the first month of 2013 is so international. Here they are: WordCamp Victoria, January 12 in Victoria, British Columbia WordCamp Phoenix, January 18-20 in Phoenix, Arizona WordCamp Paris, January 18-19 in Paris, France WordCamp Mexico, January 18-19 in Ciudad de Mexico, Distrito Federal, México WordCamp Baroda, January 26-27 in Baroda, India WordCamp Norway, January 26-27 in Oslo, Norway Pretty neat, […]
