I have a few new and updated plugins to share with ya’ll for today’s roundup. I’m a bit intrigued by the new Title After Editor plugin. There’s plenty of times when I want to get right to writing and worry about the title later. Heck, I think as a parent of a new born baby you have up to 6 weeks to name your child. Same thing? I’m not a parent, so I have no idea. Well here’s these plugin authors new and updated babies plugins:
Free Theme Friday
Not all themes are created equal. In a sea of bad code, exploits and outdated WordPress calls. We here at WP Daily want to point out some diamonds in the rough. For the first edition of free theme Friday I present to you Tethered by Calvin Koepke Sweet, A free responsive clean WordPress theme?! Let’s take a quick look under Tethered’s hood:
EditFlow v0.7.5: Updates, Prepares for 3.6 Core
EditFlow, recently seeing 0.7.5 come to light, is one of the must-haves for blogs that do any editorial work and any sites that manage multiple users for publishing content and apparently everyone is going to experience it first-hand with the upcoming release of v3.6 of WordPress as it’s being integrated into core! We’ve known that this is coming and I seriously can’t wait for it to come out and with the way that online publishing is headed I believe this might be the single-most important feature to be released as more and more publishers are requiring even better tools for their needs […]
DradCast – It's Like the WordPress BrAngelina!
Man, my Photoshop skills are so legit~! Brad Williams and Dre Armeda are coming together in a collaboration of epic proportions calling it “Dradcast” a’la BrAngelina, most likely another podcast-esque endeavor that’ll bring back the two who once joined forces on WP Late Night with WPCandy. I can only imagine what they’ll be covering but if you don’t mind having these two fill your ears with sweet-nothings then you can sign-up to be notified on their temporary homepage here:
Is WPCandy Changing Their Brand?
A few tweets in and you can let your mind wander as much as you’d like, but it could be really exciting if we see WPCandy freshen up and make a serious comeback: @agriimony Hey Aaron! We love your designs at Society6! Interested in some illustration work? DM me for further details. — WPCandy (@wpcandy) January 28, 2013 Aaron Thong of Society6 has a sweet portfolio of previous work that has a very creative and different edge:
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 1.31.2013
This is the last roundup for the month of January and I have quite a few new and updated plugins to share. The Page Template Dashboard seems like a good fit for those of you who have a lot of page templates in your theme. It also seems there’s a couple of recently created plugins with some updates, so check them out too. Here’s your list for today:
WordPress University: Would You Attend, Teach?
The WordPress world seems to need more teachers and learning resources. There are plenty of themes already. — Galin Simeonov (@galins) January 31, 2013 This is what I immediately thought when I saw @Galins‘ tweet this morning, which is neat because I wrote on my personal blog something similar along the lines of education recently: Closely aligned with local idea is education and this idea of IRL or elements of being fully present and physical with technology. Education is the hidden gem of the tech world as a trillion dollar industry that few have been able to really tap into. Education may be […]
Obox Removed from WordPress.com Marketplace
In a recent post by Ian Stewart helps clarify some of the issues that were brought up about theme companies like Obox who were providing their themes in both WordPress.com and Envato-based properties. The result was that Obox has been removed from WordPress.com until further updates are made from the Envato camp: Since it looks like this won’t be corrected right away, as of yesterday we’ve removed Obox themes from our WordPress.com Premium Theme Marketplace. So, as I’ve said this is disappointing. One day — hopefully soon if Envato can correct their licensing problem right away — we’ll have Obox back. […]
Giveaway: Smashing Books Bundle
We’ve got a lot of stuff to move into our new office space and a bunch of that is table top reads that our team love – you know, the books that you leave lying around on the coffee table and stuff, right? A lot of these books are going to be development and WordPress related but we’ve got a few that are related to leadership, team-building, and startups as well. We’ll have to take a picture of them all when we finally get them unboxed. But as I was looking through my personal library I realized that I had a few […]
Lance Willett: Finding the Perfect Theme
You don’t always get a presentation from an Automattician like Lance Willett and this one’s a great one to pass on to friends or new-ish WordPress users who might be looking for that “perfect” theme. You see, Lance is like the guy when it comes to WordPress Theme “wranglin’” as they call it and is someone that our team at 8BIT has worked with for the past year or so. He’s got a neat sense of humor too, but that’s entirely off subject. Now, we all know that there is no such thing as a “perfect” theme but the point of the […]
