I’m going to be on the WordPress Weekly podcast next Tuesday (dialing in from the Bay Area, hopefully will find a spot for the interview that will work OK). There is a thread at WP Tavern for people to post questions they’d like to hear me discuss.
I think there are a lot of very interesting things to cover about the new affiliate program from the WordPress HelpCenter, monetization and supporting the WordPress development community. So far it looks like some folks would like to hear about Carrington as well – I’ll be happy to try cover that as well.
Feel free to post questions in the comments here if you like and I’ll pass them along.
Nice to hear that. Can’t wait for the podcast to run.
Please keep us updated here.
Some theme developers sell support for their themes, how does the WordPress HelpCenter work with them? DO you think it hurts their business?
You mentioned this your announcement post
“potentially freeing them up to spend more time building great things for the WordPress community.”
Do you really think support is that big a problem that it causes developers not to release things?
Any information on why Twitter Tools 2.0 and recent versions of WordPress seem buggy? I haven’t been able to get 2.0 to post my Tweets for the life of me, but I see little debugging information.
I’m glad you asked. Have you contacted the WordPress HelpCenter for support? They are the support provider for Twitter Tools, and have a number of public FAQs. There is only one confirmed issue in the current release of Twitter Tools, and it is noted there.
Perhaps this will be something worth discussing on the podcast, it’s certainly a decent data point.
@Alex Thanks for the link to the FAQ. The first entry encapsulates my issue, although I have the same symptoms even with my bit.ly API key entered. I’ll explore this some more and notify the Help Center at some point.
