We’ve released a new Carrington theme: Carrington JAM JAM stands for Just Add Markup. We created JAM as a “developer outline” for building a theme on the Carrington CMS theme framework. It’s basically a completely stripped down skeleton (doesn’t even have XHTML) with placeholder WordPress template tags where appropriate. It functions enough that you can…

Response for WordCamp Denver has been overwhelming. We sold out last week, but thanks to some thoughtful people letting us know they won’t be able to attend, we have 54 more full tickets available.

Well, we sold out all of the planned tickets for WordCamp Denver way before we expected to. This is one of those good news/bad news things. We’re thrilled that so many people signed up early but we want everyone who wants to come to be able to attend. Also, we had to make some decisions…

I gave a Carrington Theme Framework overview presentation tonight at Refresh Denver. This was a very condensed preview of what I have planned for my session at WordCamp Denver next month. I didn’t touch on half the stuff I want to, but still took 20 minutes or so to cover what I did. I’m going…

I’ll be in the Bay Area this week for Niall Kennedy‘s Widget Summit. I’m quite looking forward to it. I’m giving a presentation on WordPress widgets: outlining how they work and how they differ from standard JavaScript widgets. I think the Q&A at the end of the presentation will be very interesting – I’m curious…

One of the best things about WordCamp Utah was the opportunity to launch Carrington – a new theme; but more importantly, a new theme framework for WordPress. I wasn’t exaggerating (that much) when I characterized Carrington as the best thing since the wheel and sliced bread. I really feel like this has the potential to…

Steve O’Grady of RedMonk announced the Progressive License WordPress plugin at WordCamp San Francisco. Progressive License is similar to other plugins that allow you to easily put a license on your content, but it brings a little twist: the ability to change the license applied to the content as the content ages. Steve explains: In…

WordCamp Utah is coming! September 27th is the date – registration is open. I’m quite looking forward to this (particularly since I wasn’t able to make WordCamp SF this weekend), both as a speaker and as an attendee. I’ll probably be flying in Friday mid-day and out on Sunday. Big thanks to Joseph Scott for…
