I am excited to announce that WordPress HelpCenter is coming back! Look for it to reopen on March 14th under new management. Nathan Garza, who has been with me at both Crowd Favorite and WordPress HelpCenter is acquiring the business. He is someone I trust, has experience running a business, is intimately familiar with the…

My Internal Link Shortcode plugin has been updated to version 1.0.1, addressing a bug where text left in the search field could accidentally overwrite the post or page title on save. The Internal Link Shortcode plugin allows you to insert links that are references to posts and pages within your WordPress powered site. These links…

I have to do basic arithmetic on a fairly regular basis. My tool of choice for the last few years has been LeanCalc. It does the job well for the most part, but it doesn’t ignore non 0-9 characters, I would commonly use it to calculate a percentage of a dollar value. I’d paste in…

WordPress HelpCenter will be ceasing operations on February 28th. Between now and then we will be working with existing customers to wrap up all of our committed projects, but we will not be taking on any new projects. For customers that purchased WPHC support for the Carrington Business theme, we have created a special premium…

Dougal has a good post about using post formats (new in WordPress 3.1) in themes. His technique is pretty clean, but I much prefer letting Carrington handle the conditional code. We landed support for post formats in Carrington Core over a month ago. To support a custom post format, all you have to do is…

If this site seems to load a little faster today it’s because it is now hosted at CloudMoxie, a hosting company that Crowd Favorite (my company) is a partner in. We’ve been rolling out our hosting services slowly, mainly for our clients at Crowd Favorite, but we’re at a point now where we’re willing to…

Congratulations to Michael Kuhlmann on the release of the Hope child theme for Carrington Business. This commercial WordPress theme is a little different than most: By purchasing the Hope child theme for the Carrington Business theme framework, you’re actively helping communities in developing countries by supplying them with the basic necessities we take for granted…

This adds a number of useful WordPress 3.1 compatibility features, including support for post formats, custom post type archives, and misc. cleanup and updates.

The upcoming release of WordPress 3.1 is introducing a feature to make it easier to link to posts and pages within your WordPress install. This is going to be useful for a number of folks, however it has a few limitations: The links are hard-coded within the post/page content. If you re-organize your site or…

I released a really simple little plugin. All it does is allow you to mark content that should only display until a certain date/time, then hides it after that date/time. So it doesn’t do much, but what it does is pretty useful. The download an more information for the Expiring Content Shortcode plugin is with…

Congratulations to our friends at UpThemes for shipping GarageBand, a great Band theme that includes Carrington Build (developer version). I have it on good authority that we may see more Carrington Build enabled themes from UpThemes in the future, with even tighter integrations. This post is part of the project: Carrington Build. View the project…

We’ve updated the Carrington Business theme demo so that you can access the menus and theme settings in the admin interface along with the post and page creation/editing access that was already available. Some folks were requesting to see how the menus were integrated, etc. so we’ve made those items available. Check out the demo…

Version 2.4 of my Twitter Tools plugin for WordPress is now available. Twitter Tools creates a full two-way integration between your WordPress site and Twitter. You can send your posts to Twitter, archive your tweets and create posts from them, and more. This version has the following changes and is a must upgrade due to…

Quick update: I still hate the user experience I’m stuck with implementing, but we’ve got it working. I expect to push out an update to the plugin Sunday that will replace the current authentication with OAuth. Assuming all goes well, this version will merely be a stopgap. I plan to replace it with a new…
