  1. WordCamp SF This Weekend

    Along with a bunch of other folks from the Crowd Favorite team, I’ll be in San Francisco this weekend for WordCamp SF. I’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends from my decade in the Bay Area, and meeting some new folks. I’ll also be helping staff the Genius Bar from 2:55-3:30pm, so…

  2. Carrington Text 1.1

    Our Carrington Text WordPress theme has been updated to version 1.1 to address a couple of IE6 issues. Preview and download. I’m using this theme for my daughter’s site. 🙂 This post is part of the project: Carrington Core. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

  3. Keep Comments Open

    I know a lot of folks like to close comments on old posts to cut down on comment SPAM. I certainly understand the sentiment behind this, but I’d like to encourage you to consider leaving comments on those old posts open. Here are just a couple of examples where keeping comments open has been interesting…

  4. Delink Comment Author 1.3

    I’ve released a new version of my Delink Comment Author WordPress plugin. This version adds compatibility with the new admin interface in WordPress 2.7.x.

Notable changes in this version: Compatibility with WordPress 2.5, 2.6…

  7. WordPress Theme Admin Page Tip

    In WordPress 2.7.1 (and probably previous versions), the admin page that allows for theme activation has some behavior that you might find sub-optimal in certain conditions. Today I was setting up a site and wholesale replaced the default ‘wp-content/themes’ directory with a ‘wp-content/themes’ directory checked out of our SVN. This removed the default theme (Kubrick)…

  8. Fruit Flies Like a Banana

    What’s better than a corny Groucho Marx joke? It’s amazing how packed my days are right now. Besides the new baby and associated family commitments, I’ve got a bunch of stuff in the works for release soon. Hopefully we’ll get one or two of these out next week – others will follow in time: Carrington…

  9. Interesting Couple of Weeks

    Yes, things have been busy with the new baby. I can’t believe it’s already been two and a half weeks. All of you other parents nodding and laughing at me – I can hear you. 😉 Many thanks to my mother-in-law and my parents for their visits and support – your help has been very…
