Canvas for Wordpress? Anyone use this yet? It took me quite a while and quite a bit of digging into the forums to understand that canvas was a “layout management tool” that is used on top of a Wordpress install. The site is well built and it looks like everything is new but it also looks like a whole lot of new code and complexity. No code was available as of this post but the screenshots look chock full of AJAX drag and drop. It could either raise the bar for Wordpress theme management or fall back in development as the core progresses creating a code mess.
WP plugin: Installer Yup, a plugin that installs other plugins and themes. This is a really cool feature that might get further press yet. You can even install plugins and/or themes but just plugging in the URI of the plugin and everything else is taken care of. Of course, plugins that require changes to core code will not work. Also, correct permissions are crucial. Very cool nonetheless. While you are at it, check out other cool code from Matt.
The redesign competition for weblogtoolscollection.com has received a lukewarm response with many people expressing interest but only a few coming up with examples for the redesign.
To keep from beating a dead horse, I just will end the competition without any results. The two participants that have taken the time and put something together will be contacted by me and I will compensate them for their time.
Thanks for playing.
