Dave Moyer who hosts the WordCast Podcast tipped me off to this development. Apparently, development on the PodPress plugin has resumed thanks to a couple of different things happening with the plugin author. My work schedule is now setup to allow me to be more active in the community again, which means I can now get podPress dev and my Podcast going again. Tons of people keep bugging me for updates, and I have appreciated every one of them And special thanks to the new sponsor for giving me the final push that was needed to get going on development again. However, the post on MightySeek.com was published on August 16th. There are a few other posts from the same time period yet the MightySeek blog has gone silent once again so I am unsure as to whether or not the plugin will actually be coming back. I’ve tried to […]

[Continue Reading...]WordPress 2.9 New Features: Barbara Vaz has put together a seven minute video on the new Trash feature and the new image and media manipulation features in WordPress 2.9 but the video is in Portuguese. Since I don’t understand the language, even a muted look through the video was interesting. Also of interest is a series of posts by Ronen Hirsch about getting started with WordPress. Topics are as simple as straightforward as what one can do with WordPress, where to get and use WordPress and some of the simpler features of WordPress.
[Continue Reading...]CMSWire in partnership with Water And Stone has released their 2009 Open Source CMS Market Share report. The report is free if you care to dive in and look at look at the results which were comprised of over 1,000 respondents. I don’t think anyone will be surprised to know that the top three systems represented in the survey are Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. However, unlike last year, all three switched top metrics with Joomla taking the popularity prize. However, WordPress dominated the brand strength category. According to CMSWire, they think that having two projects with the same name contributed a large part to the branding strength of WordPress. WordPress.com the free hosting service enables users to get their feet wet encouraging them later on to take the plunge to self install WordPress. To veterans in the WordPress community, this branding is a nightmare but it’s obviously had a positive […]
[Continue Reading...]WordPress 2.8.5 has officially been tagged and is now available for download. If you don’t see the upgrade nags in your administration panel already, give it a few hours and upgrade when it becomes available. This release has been dubbed a security hardening release meaning, more preventive measures have been taken to secure WordPress. Worthy of note though is an issue that was addressed dealing with a trackback spam denial of service attack which was discussed on the WP-Hackers mailing list the other day. This exploit takes advantage of the WP-Trackback.php file which would exhaust a servers resources when used. This has specifically been addressed in 2.8.5. Thanks goes out to Steve Fortuna for releasing a fix to this 0 day exploit. The release also contains a few bug fixes as well.

[Continue Reading...]Back in August, I asked the following question: Why Is Gravatar Still Not Mainstream?. You folks supplied a wealth of answers to the question but many of the answers suggested something along the lines of making it easier to obtain a Gravatar through registration if they didn’t have one. While I’ve yet to see news on such an integration, there is a plugin that has been developed by Milan Dinic called Gravatar Signup Encouragement which enables you to encourage Gravatar registration to anyone who is not a registered member on your WordPress powered site. Message can be shown to: unregistered commenters when they leave text input field for e-mail address registered commenters to whom their registered e-mail address is checked registered users on their profile page, to whom their registered e-mail address is checked users who fill registration form when they leave text input field for e-mail address You can […]
