I receive requests from readers about plugins or modifications for WordPress that they could use on their own blogs. I have been able to find them existing plugins in the past but I also write about them so plugin authors can get a chance to know what their audience is looking for or if I cannot find a suitable solution through my grapevine. I had a few questions this week that I could not find appropriate answers for. If you have other questions, please leave a comment and I will add it to the list. In the future, if you have questions on products, plugins or themes you are looking for and cannot find, please Contact us through the contact form or send me an email and I will try to find it for you or accumulate them for a post like this. If you have an answer for these […]

[Continue Reading...]The Best WordPress Magazine Themes Available: Ryan puts together a list of ten magazine style WordPress themes and details the positives and negatives of each of these themes for this list. I am not sure if “The Best” is an appropriate title for the post but I like each and every theme that he points to. Some of the themes listed such as Brian Gardner’s Revolution are paid themes but Revolution is visually excellent and the popularity of the theme and the fact that he is successfully charging for it are both attestations to this model of theme publication. Definitely a post to check out if you are into smooth, clear and versatile themes that can pack a lot of good information into small screen spaces. While you are at it, check out Charity’s “Creating a Magazine Style Theme by Example“.

[Continue Reading...]Integrate Drupal with WordPress: These two competing platforms now have a common bond. This Drupal module will allow you to run/administer a WordPress blog from inside Drupal as a module. The author claims that the module is tested with Drupal 5 and WordPress 2.2.1. In looking through the code, I see no reason why it would not work with 2.3 but I have not tested it. So if you are a Drupal user with a WordPress blog or if you are a WordPress user with a Drupal installation, this is your chance to run the roost from one perch. Features include a single level sign on and synchronization of profile data between WordPress and Drupal.
[Continue Reading...]More appropriately, does Techmeme Leaderboard threaten Technorati’s Pop Blogs? Technorati’s descension from their once heralded position has not been lost on me. I think this might be the death knell but I do not understand the point behind the other observations. In reading through the commentary, it seems that everyone agrees that Technorati is on the chopping block but the people that were on Technorati’s Pop list and not on the Techmeme Leaderboard have a more negative take on the new product. The epitaphs levelled at Technorati range from “Attacking Technorati’s Stronghold” to the new bandwagon of “Techmeme list heralds the death of blogging“. Duncan claims that taken in context, this means that “ … New verticals (are) on the way“. You can follow the rest of the conversation on Techmeme. The primary theme of all this diatribe is that multiple author blogs have better coverage, content and attention and […]
