What's there, how to get the best out of it, bbPress that they use, who are the mods, what are the short-comings, what is the future outlook for it?</p> <p>What about 3rd party, off-site, alternative forums to get WP support / ask questions / post tips? Like WP Forums? Which ones are worth checking out, how big are they, what features are needed to make it successful? Could an alternative discussion board become as widely known as the WP.org forum? </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/friendly-episode-titles#post-3815 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:18:20 +0000 Dgold 3815@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>Jeffro, some of the titles (particularly interviews with named persons) could be friendlier or at least a little bit more keywordy. "Interview with Douglas Bell" doesn't mean a lot to most people at first glance. Even Matt's name is not something that new-comers would automatically recognize. Of course as soon as they listen to your excellent podcast they will get the full biography and the scoop. Guess I was thinking along the lines of, perhaps simply "phpBB interview with Douglas Bell" to be more friendly/accessible, if you can fit the extra wordcount in title. "Interview With Matt M, founder of WordPress", "Security discussion with Mark", etc. I realize you cannot list every topic discussed in the Title, but please consider dropping in a few extra keywords when you can, in keeping with the "friendly" trend you started here. </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/friendly-episode-titles#post-3770 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:06:25 +0000 conorp 3770@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>Any chance you could add cover art in itunes? </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/friendly-episode-titles#post-3758 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:22:56 +0000 Jeffro 3758@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>It's something I should have been doing from the start but oh well.

Some consider it a feature, others consider it a security risk or privacy concern that WP should not put in.

You might also check out: <a href="http://cdharrison.com/2008/12/threaded-comments/">http://cdharrison.com/2008/12/threaded-comments/</a> where I (hopefully) account for all of the elements that are available for styling. The bottom of the article includes links to 2 Style Starters (1 being the one you already mentioned). I hope to make a few more available within the next week or so. I plan to make some that are radically different from the two simple examples I've already released. </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/suggested-topicsguest-for-wpweekly#post-3628 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:47:53 +0000 ShepherdJim 3628@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>Short answer: I'm not yet using Pods</p> <p>Longer story: I'm only in the early research and question phase of life with WordPress. We have a very tired, old table-based-design-HTML website for our small, family/farm business. I'm hoping to set up a website, powered by WP, that will showcase our various products, and especially be simple enough to update that my non-tech wife will feel comfortable uploading content. She's been <em>VERY</em> frustrated over the years by always having to wait for me to change the site.</p> <p>I've been tearing apart WP themes, figuring out how to integrate normal website elements with the WP blog engine. It seems to me that Pods may go a <strong>really long way</strong> toward providing convenient behind the scenes linkages, enabling content classification, etc. </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/threaded-comments-discussion-on-wp-weekly-podcast#post-3627 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 07:01:14 +0000 Dgold 3627@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>Isn't the wordpress community great!

I would like to see Wordpress incorporate something similar. </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/threaded-comments-discussion-on-wp-weekly-podcast#post-3602 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:57:37 +0000 Dgold 3602@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>Threaded Comments ---</p> <p>As mentioned on the chatroom last week, I think a big trend coming to WP is learning to Style your comments section, and adopting Threaded comments, and adapting old themes to use Threaded comments. People are going to want new styles to handle Threaded comments and make it look attractive, useful, and make sense what the sequence is. So you want the "date" to show up, but you don't want it to be overwhelming where everything looks out of order because the dates can appear jumbled with Threaded. You may want the Replies to be more Indented, but you don't want crazy indenting back-and-forth all over your page, it starts to look like a zig-zag.</p> <p>There are many new examples coming out.</p> <p>Intense Debate is one of the leading examples, that has the ability to set trends because of wide userbase.</p> <p>I don't know yet if (or how) Intense Debate comments can be styled on your own WP. I tried I.D. briefly and I liked their Comments style alright but it wasn't perfect for my blog. I would need to customize the look of it before using it.</p> <p>WP 2.7 threaded comments will have some kind of default structure (if not "style"). What are comments like in WP 2.7? Not only the question of how to make your theme support Threaded comments, but how will the Threaded comments be styled, out-of-the-box? How do you re-style them?</p> <p>I noticed Lifehacker.com has some cool Threaded Comments action. Check them out Jeffro. Under a comment they have another line with a drop-down Plus symbol. " + Replies from Dgold and Jeffro". You click the + to see the replies. Kind of cool.</p> <p>Just one example page that has it, (See also any individual post that has comments)<br /> <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5102180/puredyne-turns-any-computer-into-a-multimedia-powerhouse" rel="nofollow">http://lifehacker.com/5102180/puredyne-turns-any-computer-into-a-multimedia-powerhouse</a></p> <p>NOTE: I am not saying Lifehacker is WordPress, I don't think they are..... just saying it's an example of trends in Threaded comment design </p>
