I’m very pleased to announce that WordPress HelpCenter is now open for business. WordPress HelpCenter is a real-time support center for all things WordPress. We can answer simple questions about how to create categories and tags, how to use your links list, or we can help you install and/or troubleshoot themes, plugins, etc. and answer…

We’ve released a new Carrington theme: Carrington Text. This is a rather minimal theme, with all styling done in CSS applied to text and spacing. It’s a nice compliment to the Carrington Blog theme (full 2.0 release coming soon) – and is likely to be seen as “more hackable” than the Blog theme for folks…

WordPress Mobile Edition is a plugin that shows an interface designed for a mobile device when visitors come to your site on a mobile device. The 3.0.1 release of WordPress Mobile Edition suffered from a failed SVN merge in the theme, causing the comments to display incorrectly. I took a more direct approach with the…

I’m quite happy that WordPress Mobile Edition, a WordPress plugin I first created back in 2002 to show a mobile-friendly version of my (b2 powered) blog, has reached version 3.0. This plugin creates a mobile-friendly version of your WordPress powered site, without any additional changes required. Over the last 7 years, mobile browsing has gone…

This past weekend WordCamp made it’s first appearance in Denver. All in all, I believe it went pretty well. If you attended, you should have received a feedback survey today. I’m looking forward to seeing the responses and ideas people have to make WordCamp Denver 2010 even better (yes, I know – better WiFi). We…

A brand spankin’ new version of WordPress Mobile Edition is now available. This is a WordPress plugin that will display a mobile-friendly theme for your site if your site visitor is using a mobile browser. Here are some of the changes since the 2.x releases: New (Carrington-based) theme with more advanced display for advanced mobile…

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. Based on the e-mail requests we’ve received since we sold out, I expect they will go quickly. Our morning venue space…

Yay, Twitter Tools has reached version 1.6! Twitter Tools is a WordPress plugin that allows you to do a two-way integration between your WordPress powered blog and Twitter. It has the following features: Download and archive your tweets from Twitter. Show your recent tweets in a sidebar widget. Create a blog post from each of…

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…

After a couple of bug reports about scheduled posts still not working, we were able to identify and fix a nasty little bug that was causing the “notify Twitter about this post or not” setting to get stomped on a bit. We’ve fixed this, along with the “exclude replies” issues from the weekend, and things…

I’ve seen a few reports of the “exclude replies” feature not working in the 1.6b1 release. This appears to be due to a change in the data returned by the Twitter API. The tweet data used to always include a message being “replied to” if the tweet started with @username. This is no longer the…
