Ah, I couldn’t possibly let this one pass through without posting it here! All I could think about was our beloved Jetpack plugin! Jetpack, all the things!

Envato GPL Licensing Survey Results
Envato has announced a subset report of the GPL licensing survey that they created a little while back to help discover whether or not the authors within their marketplace were interested in the licensing structure changes that may be made available to them in light of current events and discussions (see here, here, and here). Last month there was some online discussion around full GPL licensing and the Envato Marketplaces. It started when one of our TF authors was barred from supporting, speaking at and volunteering at WordCamps because he was selling on ThemeForest. While ThemeForest themes sell with a […]
Behind the Scenes: Community Standing Desk?
I’ve toyed with standing desks here and there in the past, namely in my own home office (these are very old) but as we’re working on buying more equipment for our office here I’ve had thoughts of getting a standing desk for not just myself but also anyone else who would visit. What are your thoughts about a community-sized standing desk? Have you seen any good examples? Let me know in the comments below if you do.

Windows Phone 2.0: Galleries, Direct Admin Access
The team developing the Windows Phone app is doing a killer job, with more updates and releases recently than in the previous years and the app is getting better and better. With this big release of 2.0 you’re seeing such things as gallery support (which we love to use), direct dashboard access for those that are doing much management in the back. The fact that you can build the galleries though with all the trimmings in the app itself is going to be a great win for mobile bloggers and those journalists who are capturing their news on their phones […]
CyberChimps: Acquires ThemeID, Responsive
CyberChimps Inc., a WordPress Theme Shop that has developed a number of themes in their lineup has gone ahead and acquired ThemeID and their responsive theme that had managed to amass an incredible 500,000 downloads in it’s very short lifespan. This is both a strategic move by CyberChimps and a sweet exit for Emil Uzelac, the founder of ThemeID, as it allows him to leave with a healthy financial move and also allows CyberChimp to capitalize as well on the obvious popularity of the theme and release a “Pro” version that they can monetize: When I first created ‘Responsive’ I […]
Features of Moodle I'd Like to See in WordPress
Education has been brought to the forefront recently with WordPress.com’s move towards the Education market. Although there are some groups like Edublogs using WordPress to provide educational functions and services there are groups outside the WordPress ecosystem that have created some more unique and useful features that we are yet to see in WordPress (via themes or plugins). Moodle is one of these groups who have some features that really set it apart as an Educational platform. I’m going to list some features that I believe would be very useful as a set plugin or theme to marketed in an […]
Creative Space: eyespeak
As we continue to showcase creative space we have a local agency here in Atlanta that we’ve known for sometime – eyespeak. They are good personal friends but that isn’t why they are being featured here – it’s because they have a rock wall built right in their office as well as office quarters that require you to take a ladder to them. They are, without question, a highly creative and unique branding agency that has a laundry list of well-known clients. Thanks Benj for throwing your creative space into the hat – oh, and yes, they love WordPress. Here’s what they […]
3 Non-Database CMS Apps You Might Have Missed
WordPress is a database-driven application that works well for millions-upon-millions of sites. Developers like it, designers like it, end-users and publishers like it. It works. But it’s not perfect and it’s constantly being refined – even some of the things in the upcoming 3.6 release are going to make it even better. Our job as designers, developers, novice and power-users alike, is to help WordPress continue to innovate, bring in the best practices of UI/UX and development standards, as well as look for inspiration in other systems that may be incredibly different. With a lot of the world moving to a […]
