Yup. A quick security update that you’re going to want to do soon, like today if not this weekend. Sure, this might throw a wrench in your weekend plans, especially if you have a lot of client sites that are going to need an upgrade, but better to do this now than try to recover a hacked or broken site, right?
Joe Boydston: Free Speech, Free Press, Free Software
Joe Boydston keeps coming up on the radar and that’s because he’s got a powerful message that many people need to hear. He was here in Atlanta for our event and shared a killer presentation that many people came for. He also presented at Reno-Tahoe on free speech, free press, and free software:
2 Weeks Left for Google Reader – WP Alternative?
I first shared the news of Google Reader’s demise (and my alternative) already and it feels like forever and ago since the original announcement dropped. At this point I really hope you’ve moved over to a new service. Feedly has since been iterating on their product like mad dogs and have even launched just the other day their cloud-based solution that’ll ensure continuity and the continuing availability of your RSS reading pleasure. But there are some WordPress-centric solutions that you may want to consider as well – take for example this service which is getting more attention every single day:
Review: PixelKit UI for Lazy Designers
User Interface features and kits…these are not the most popular part of any web designer’s job. And if you are a lazy designer – well, at least someone who hates the time that is required to get UI kits done – you are always on the lookout for a better way. After all, the ROI from icons, slicers, controls, buttons and the other bits and pieces that make each project unique is rarely all that it should be. The time, the details, and the “getting it right” cannot really repay you in full. Of course, you might rely on outsourced […]
Looking for Even More Jobs? Tuts+ Jobs!
We’ve recently launched our Job Board and it’s been incredibly satisfying to see all the traffic and referrals being handed out every single day – in fact, we get so many requests daily now that it’s honestly hard to keep up with it (this is always the problem of starting a new property). And for those that are in a “startup” mode, like many freelancers and contractors out there, you’re always open to more work and more opportunity. That’s why Envato’s recent announcement is a really good one:
Slides: A Keynote Speaker's New WP Theme?
How many presentation slides have you built in your life? *Thinking…* Gasp, too many for me. When I used to work for the enterprise and even a large non-profit organization, I was building slide decks every week it seemed. For the most part most of them royally sucked. I broke every design rule imaginable and just did what most people do: Bullet point lists of content that bore people to tears. Well, perhaps it’s time to go WordPress-on-it and thanks to Otto there’s a solution that might be a bit more appealing than that last presentation that you did last week:
Realtime Monitoring Solution for Your WP Site
Need an open source alternative to your existing monitoring system or interested in trying out an MIT licensed one because you love using OS-solutions? Why not try this one on for size?
Feel the Power of OMNISEARCH via Jetpack
Jetpack is continuing to release products updates and millions of people got the notification yesterday that they should probably update to version 2.3. But did most of them update without taking a second look at what they were adding to their experience? Perhaps, perhaps not, which would be too bad because this release see the introduction of Omnisearch, a powerful global search feature that has a lot of potential:
Open Weather Map: Free Weather Data and API
I’m not sure about you but I’m one that totally ignores the morning news and forecast and just assumes that I’ll do ok with whatever shows up via the skies that day. If you’re not like me then you’re probably a far more intelligent person and one that actually does check the weather so that you can be more prepared to stay dry! Shame on me for trying to outsmart the weather gods.
A Great Example That Showcases 3.6's New Heartbeat API
Have you ever heard about the new Heartbeat API that’s being released with WordPress 3.6? It’s coming and it’s going to be a neat addition. For those that do not know, this is what it is among other things: This will do polling or long-polling so the server is able to send data and notifications to the browser. The primary use will be for setting, monitoring or taking over a post lock. Additionally it will be used to send autosave data to the server. It looks like we won’t need long-polling for now as post locks are not that time sensitive. Well […]
