"On February 23, 2011, WordPress Version 3.1 "Reinhardt", named in honor of the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, was released to the public. For more information on this enhancement and bug release, read the WordPress Blog, and see the Changelog for 3.1."
"Tammy Hart is an Automattic consultant who recently gave a talk at WordCamp Atlanta about “WordPress & Working with Clients”. She had such a positive response to her talk that it prompted her to set up http://www.wpmethod.com – a blog for freelancers that work with WordPress. We highly recommend you to check it out."
"WordPress started with good usability, but a limited architecture and feature set. Drupal started with a strong architecture, but a very developer-centric user experience. But WordPress has been steadily improving its architecture. And Drupal has been working on its UI. They had different origins, and they have taken different paths, but they are both evolving towards CMS Nirvana. And we users get to ride along."
"Social bookmarking (SB) sites (and their ilk) such as Delicious, digg, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and so on are extremely popular and can help take a website and/or blog from obscurity to instant fame in a flash.
In this article, I’ll take a look at a large list of WordPress plugins that you can install to instantly add numerous social bookmarking buttons to your blog."
"The use of WordPress in this case is significant because it represents one of the highest profile installations of the free, open source software. Long a favorite with smaller scale Web sites and blogs, the software was originally developed for bloggers but has expanded its capabilities to include full-scale Web site content management."
"Did you know that WordPress supports multiple tag queries?"
"WordPress became popular by making it as simple as possible to publish a personal blog. Along the way, the project has become a hit not only with personal bloggers, but with publishers as well. WordPress 3.0 comes to terms with its new audience by adding features that are better suited to content management systems than personal Weblogs. The question for most users is whether WordPress 3.0 can scale to handle the big dogs while still retaining the simplicity for single-user blogs that has fueled WordPress growth since its inception in 2003."
"Normally this is where I’d say we’re about to start work on 3.1, but we’re actually not. We’re going to take a release cycle off to focus on all of the things around WordPress. The growth of the community has been breathtaking, including over 10.3 million downloads of version 2.9, but so much of our effort has been focused on the core software it hasn’t left much time for anything else. Over the next three months we’re going to split into ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and compatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless."
"If you’re a web host and you turn a bad file permissions story into a WordPress story, you’re doing something wrong."
"The Absolute Privacy plugin by John Kolbert does exactly what it the title suggests; it turns your blog into the ultimate private blog"
"So what can WordPress do for designers? A lot, my friends! First and foremost, WordPress is a CMS."
"BuddyPress is a bundled collection of plugins and themes for creating a social network service around an installation of the popular open source blog engine WordPress MU."
"Right after WordPress launched their Android app, the WP crew finished the final touches on their Blackberry app that rivals the one they built upon Google’s mobile OS."
"WordPress is no longer just used to power blogs. It has become the CMS of choice for many web designers. It’s always interesting to see how it’s flexibility provides web designers with the freedom to design sites with no limitations. Here are 15 beautiful web sites all powered by WordPress."
"When it comes to open sourced content management platforms and their creators, there's no question about the celebrity status that WordPress and its young founder Matt Mullenweg have ascended to. If offered an opportunity to interview Mullenweg about some news, I'd undoubtedly jump on it. But when I was offered the chance to do the same with Dries Buytaert, my initial response was "Dries who?" Once I realized "Dries, the creator of Drupal," I didn't hesitate (podcast below)."
"Tired of using Media Wiki? Sick of fighting with WordPress to get your own documentation project happening? If so then WordPress Wiki Plugin is the answer for you. The new WordPress Wiki plugin made by the guys at Instinct (who brought you the famous Wordpress e-Commerce Plugin) have developed a new plugin that adds Wiki functionality to your WordPress powered website."
"Google unveils the open-source Blog Converters project for federating the exchange of data between blogging platforms, including Blogger, MoveableType, WordPress and LiveJournal. Blog Converters is just one facet of a fundamental shift from siloed Web sites, which lock users in to their services, to a more boundless Web, where users can liberally migrate their data from one Web site to the next."
"Attention, users of Blogging Software, like Word Press, there is now a serious Python competitor, Zine. The lead developer is Armin Ronacher, a wunderkind Python developer it seems, he is still in college, yet has written an amazing slew of apps along with the Pocoo Dev Team."
"The b5media tech team was having a discussion today about what criteria we use when reviewing a WordPress plugin for possible inclusion on one of our sites or across our network. It makes for a good list of what not to do (or not do) when writing a WordPress plugin, something that might be generally useful to plugin authors. These things won’t make your plugin good — they’ll just help make it secure and stable."
"It’s bringing your blogging craves anywhere… anytime! Got the urge to write about that sunset you’re viewing now, well just pop out your iPhone and write about it. Publish it in seconds alongside that sunset picture too (!) no problemo."
