One of the many things that Kathy Seirra’s session at WordCamp SF 2008 has me thinking about is what does WordPress say about us using it. And what do WordPress shirts say about the us wearing them.
About half way through her session she talks about “T-Shirt First Development (Guy Kawasaki)”. I have about 7 [...]

Broken WordPress Plugin or Theme, Blame Me
August 26, 2008 – 9:40 pm
WordPress community superstar and regular web tools collection contributor Jeff Chandler (jeffr0) recently published a passionate article, “Stop Blaming The WordPress Team“.

Some friends have asked if WordPress and Automattic will be participating in the Open Web Foundation. It does look like a brilliant initiative, but as far as I know we weren’t invited.

July 4, 2008 – 1:02 pm
Google Gears has been enabled on WordPress.com for a couple of weeks now for some members, but was only announced this week. Andrew Ozz (azaozz) added this feature a couple of month ago in the development version of self-hosted WordPress. I’ve been using it for about a month, and even though I have a decent [...]
