We found a secret plugin in today’s roundup and I wanted to spend a litte more time digging into it. The name of the plugin is MP6 and the author is Matt Mullenweg. It seems to be a plugin that is dedicated to UI changes for WordPress 3.6. Simplifying the wp-admin UI is a challenging task, as flattening the icons showed us when you improve one thing it just makes all of the other out of date elements stand out more. Trunk isn’t terribly well-suited for UI iteration, so this plugin is a chance for us to rapidly iterate in […]

Happy #humpday everyone! I’ve got a new theme to share with you today on the roundup. I also have a ton of new plugins to share as well, even a “top secret” one. And I quote: This plugin a secret, don’t tell anybody about it. Can you figure out which one it is? Hint: It’s the only one that has an author’s name next to it 🙂

Earlier this week Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo!, issued an internal memo to Yahoo! employees detailing changes within the company. The memo detailed changes to Yahoo!’s remote working policy, and it was made clear that remote-working or working from home was no longer a benefit at Yahoo!. The memo itself was a great positive-negative-positive message. One of those memos where there is a sword ripping through your gut half way through but the smile at the beginning and end is supposed to make everything ok.

Last month, Cole Henley wrote a brief thought on The Pastry Box Project. I know we’ve only just met but in 2013 I want you to promise me something. Write more, help others more, be confident that you know more than you think because I guarantee there will be people who can learn from your experiences and knowledge. I bet you know more than you think. That simple thought really resonated with me. In particular, I found the same phrase bouncing around in my head. Write more, help others more. As members of the WordPress community, this is our mantra. […]

A little off-topic but I thought I’d throw it in there for the heck of it. How about the winners? Surprised? How about those speeches or Seth MacFarlane’s hosting performance? I was pleasantly surprised by Ben Affleck’s emotional speech as I remember his first win nearly 16 years ago – it’s been an “interesting” past decade and a half for that guy, right? I’d share more of my thoughts on this topic but I think that would give me away as being more into movies and entertainment than I’d like to admit, at least for today.

Chip Bennett has done a great job of corralling all the feedback so far but needs more community input on the theme names that are allowed in the WordPress repo. Many of you already know the existing guidelines: Themes are not to use WordPress in their name. For example My WordPress Theme, WordPress AwesomeSauce, and AwesomeSauce for WordPress would not be accepted. After all, this is the WordPress Theme repository. Themes are not to use the term Theme in their name, such as: AwesomeSauce Theme. Same reason as above … it’s aTheme repository. Themes may use the WP acronym in the Theme name, such as WP AwesomeSauce. Themes are not to use version-specific, markup-related terms (e.g. HTML5, CSS3, etc.) in their name. Themes are not to use […]
