I don’t know why I find this odd but I really, really do. If you’ve done any work with the self-hosted version of WordPress then you’re already intimately aware of MySQL, the preferred database of connecting the core application to a relational system to make all of that “magic” work. And in less than 4 weeks it’ll turn 18 years old – I suppose it’s just graduating High School at this point. During it’s storied history though it’s gone through a lot from being bought for $1B by Sun Microsystems and then experiencing an Oracle acquisition for 7x that less than […]

I love code names. At one point I had a code name for everything, even code names for code names. My father implanted this interest at a very young age, most likely as a fun activity after seeing Warren Beaty’s version of Dick Tracy. Man, that was a great movie. Back to Shopp, they’ve recently announced that the development of Mars is wrapping up and that the community should be able to see this update come within the next few weeks. Here’s what you can expect to see in version 1.3:

The developing technology around online publishing is continuing to evolve, even as we speak as innovators and application developers begin to make good on their ideas into the real world. Things like Ghost, which is going to hit our shelves in the very near future, are taking a good hard look at not only the future of publishing but also what the history shows us to be both good and bad about digital publication. As a result, we like to cover all types of publishing systems, methodologies, and apps – not all of them are good and most are downright […]

Honestly, what the heck happened? We crossed the 1,000 blog post published yesterday and I didn’t even notice it until I woke up this morning and checked our global stats. I couldn’t believe that we were able to knock out one of our three explicit goals so quickly! But when I had a moment to reflect it makes sense – there’s so much for us to cover here and so much community involvement that we’ve been able to knock out posts daily, hence the name “WP Daily” I suppose. We’re stoked and as a team we’re excited that the momentum […]

I’ve been spending more time digitally-spelunking around iOS development and WordPress recently and I’m starting to bump up against many other WordPress + iOS lovers out there and that’s pretty neat. One that passed my desk recently is a simple and neat plugin that pushes notifications to your iOS or Android-powered device for all the crucial updates that you might need as you run a growing and successful blog. The list of notifications available for WP-Push currently are as follows: New Users Comments Pingbacks Trackbaks Password Resets Notifying Authors of Comments

Lifetime memberships are up for grabs over at the Elegant Themes blog which shared that they’ve crossed the 5 year mark as a company and business. That’s a long time for those that are just now entering into the wild and wooly WordPress ecosystem. I remember when I first encountered Elegant Themes and was surprised at their “interesting” pricing schematic: A one-price fits all (e.g. every single theme). I remember even using some of their themes years ago for some friends who were interested in getting a nice looking blog up and running – since I had a membership I […]
