If you get “Error establishing a database connection” when trying to set up WordPress.org on your Mac, are sure that the database name (DB_NAME), username (DB_USER) and password (DB_PASSWORD) are correct, the solution is very likely that you need to set mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock in /etc/php.ini.
Last night the team pushed the button releasing WordPress 2.6 onto the world. This is a nice polishing release (”stronger better faster”) with a surprising number of features.

These articles are clearly based on his extensive experience using both platforms.
Today, people all around the world are celebrating that five years ago today the first version of WordPress was released!
Of course, most people’s celebration is limited to Happy Birthday WordPress posts. It’s awesome reading them; most posts (subtlety) demonstrate the authors own participation in WordPress. We’re all the developers of WordPress!
I just received an email that our application to the Google Summer of Code has been accepted!
A site map seems like a really good idea, but if WordPress is on your team, you are already in great shape, and they offer no real benefit.
Anil Dash has written an article titled “A WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Guide” on the official movabletype.com blog. It is full of misdirection, and, thankfully, overall it hasn’t been well received. What excites me is it has sparked some excellent discussions, and it’s a great launching point for more conversations.
