With changeset 6763 on WordPress trunk (soon to be WordPress 2.5), when I select Full text in Settings > Reading I now get… you got it, full text feed.
Ryan wrote in the issue ticket, “Looking back, this was a mistake. By popular demand, we’re returning to disregarding the [<!--more-->] tag when serving feeds.”
And with this change, with everything else WordPress 2.5 will give me, I now need one less plugin. I get to retire Ronald Heft Jr’s Full Text Feed.
Jennifer Hodgdon, WordPress Plugin Development Documenter extraordinaire, has written Migrating Plugins and Themes. This seems like a great resource for the WordPress plugin developer who may have been putting off updating their blogs.
As she says, “it’s a Wiki — feel free to add/clarify/edit/fix.”
Jennifer continues to provide essential contributions both to the codex and in development. The new tag interface in Write and Manage->Tags in 2.5 are largely her work. Jennifer, I salute you!
WordPress 2.5 beta is coming soon!
Drupal 6.0 was released yesterday. DaveO of Raincity Studio writes, “I think these changes (while admittedly lacking in really exciting talking points for the non-geeks) reflect an increased focus on usability and offer ways to do more with less.”
Congratulations to the Drupal community!
And why you don’t want to work at Microsoft.
I can’t think of a better use of the term “creative capitalism” than to apply it to open source businesses.
it’s worth documenting with a good agreement.
Julia and I had a practical birth preparation course on Sunday with Victoria local yoga master, philosopher and former registered nurse, Helga Beer. It was awesome!
Julia and I haven’t attended her yogo classes for the last many months. I had forgotten how much I get out of her philosophy.
During the course she mentioned Mark Gungor’s Men’s Brain Women’s Brain:
I hadn’t heard of this video. It’s hilarious! It’s clear Mark has some insights into having a better marriage, “laugh your way to a better marriage” his site says.
The box theory of men’s brains resonated with me, and I have a particularly bad case of it. It relates to my expertise and career in software problem identification, analysis, and resolution. And a clear symptom is my repulsion when an email or forum discussion has multiple topics in it, or when the discussion travels onto a different issue.
Of course, I grin and bear it, because most of life doesn’t suit the clean, discrete presentation as a bug report. Life is dynamic and messy, but still my boxes definitely don’t touch. Julia you’re so generous in your love for me!
I just read with interest Movable Type Product Manager, the fantastic Byrne Reese‘s “Implementing Ping Back for Movable Type“. This is fantastic and long overdue!
This is good news for all bloggers. Someday soon trackbacks can be retired.
My boss, the Ma.tt in Matt is keynoting Northern Voice in Vancouver, Saturday February 23th! The title of his talk is “Blogging & Social Media: Where do we go from here?”
http://www.OSWD.org/ – “Open Source Web Design” led by Francis J. Skettino. Free web design templates.
Unfortunately, I like open source in my open source.
Down to a few few seconds after migrating China Digital Times from Movable Type to WordPress.
Go to the Scot Hacker Bird House and read Notes on a Massive WordPress Migration. Scott, the webmaster of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and O’Reilly author knows his stuff, and backs it up with the data. Brilliant insights!
