We mentioned previously that the possibility of uploading your own WordPress-related tips, tricks, screencasts, and WordCamp / Meetup videos would be a possibility and now it’s finally open. Now, of course, there are some guidelines that you must adhere: WordCamp Videos: The audio is clear and easy to understand, the camera was on a tripod, the video shows the speaker and slides, divide the video by presentation if possible. Screencasts: Keep it concise, keep it clear, keep on track (no chock-full of personal promotion please), keep it current. Vodcasts and other video-based content: If you have put together a video podcast or […]

If you’re looking for a comprehensive place to start, especially in terms of learning about WordPress (or a place for your clients to learn more about the application that you’re building for them) then you need to head over and bookmark the new and improved Learn.WordPress. With tons of new content you’ll have most of your questions answered from getting started to the use of tags. There are many other resources out there but you can be sure that trusting WordPress.com with your educational needs is going to be safe and stable. One of the neatest things that I like […]

The Other Automatic…?

An interesting site passed my desk the other day – Automatic. No, not the beloved and largest commercial WordPress company Automattic, but rather another company that appears be just very cool in it’s own right. Sure, this has nothing to do with WordPress – but hey this service looks completely legit – and it may save your life. That’s worth a shoutout with a loose affiliation to the other Automattic, right?

Today I’m so stoked to share with you something that we’ve been keeping hush-hush for the past 3 weeks and it’s finally time for the epic reveal. As you well know already the parent company of WP Daily, 8BIT, is comprised of a bunch of super-nerds and video gamers who grew up in the 80’s and at the very center of 8-bit retro gaming. This is why we named our company the way we did. Our goal has always been to close the distance between work and play – in fact, we just want to play all the freaking time. So we […]

We’ve covered already the fact that Posterous was also heading south and we’ve written how you can get those posts out of Posterous too. It’s too bad really, especially since shops like Obox has partnered with them in the past creating a set of themes even for them historically. But they are going the extra mile by not only receiving those themes back that they developed but also releasing them for free – all 5 of them:

As many of you know now Google Reader has hit the dead pool and will no longer be in service July 1st. I am sad and incredibly upset at this news, even though I had been expecting that the day would come, namely because it’s become an intimate part of my overall workflow. So much so that when I heard that it was coming I started shaking in anger – the mere thought of having to transition from an application that I’ve used since 2007 and have religiously used every single day is more than I can bear. I won’t […]

Something I have noticed when I am developing WordPress sites is that I very often find myself coding up the same Loop patterns again and again. How many times have you developed a magazine style layout with a grid of posts, each with a post thumbnail, title, author, date and small excerpt? I know I have – countless times. It’s like I’ve got my own personal “loop” going on myself. It might look something like this:

A Full Look at Draft, Version Control for Writers

Seamless and intelligent collaboration and version control for writers is hard to come by – even with WordPress 3.5 it’s cumbersome and anything but elegant. Sure, with the next release of 3.6 we’re going to see some dramatic changes that will up the collaboration features greatly and that’s going to help a lot but I think it might be a good idea to look at what Draft is doing and see how they have created a fully-featured (and trim) solution that’s got me thinking big. I got a sweet email a few hours ago from the founder citing the already-overwhelmingly […]

WordPress 3.6 Beta 1 Delayed

But not by much. If you’ve been watching Core trac and the proposed schedule then you would have known that Beta 1 was supposed to be done today. Not a big deal but’s it’s important to know why, as Mark Jaquith explains: Our original schedule had us hitting beta 1 today, March 13th. We’re not quite there. Beta should mean that we’re feature complete, and we’re not. We could do what we’ve done in the past, and declare a beta, while continuing to do feature work, but that just devalues the meaning of “beta”. I want people in the WordPress […]

Wow, now this would be something sweet and you’ve got just a month to get in your application as they close it April 15th. So you’ll want to jump on it! It’s paid by the way, so that’s straight-up legit: As a paid intern, you’ll be working on a range of projects depending on your skills & passions — everything from doing development work on plugins that improve WordPress functionality for large media companies to working on core WordPress.com features and development. Last year, our interns had a great time developing code for WordPress.com that launched and is still in […]
