Last month, we looked at the basics of BuddyPress and how you can use it to increase social networking in your projects. The response was great and many requested theming tutorials.

If you love the power of WordPress as a CMS but Magento is your open source e-commerce engine of choice, then you’ll be happy to learn that the two can now be easily integrated.
I’ll make this post short and sweet; This article is kind of a follow up to: How to Move and Position The WordPress WYSIWYG Visual Editor.

For this tutorial on the Comments Template I'm basically going to walk you through what's going to happen, show you some custom code snippets you'll need to add to your functions.php, and then drop the whole thing on you.

If you want to enable duplicate comments on your blog for some reason, you can use this code here.
Some people are confused about the Post Formats feature that will be made available to themes in WordPress 3.1, especially how it differs from Custom Post Types.

A Post Format is a formatting designation made to a post. For example, a post could be a short “aside,” or a Kottke.org-style link post, or a video post, or a photo gallery post
