Twitterized answer? Abso-freakin-lutely! Take a look at the following graph. It shows the pageviews and unique visitors on this blog from mobile browsers since we started tracking last year. Notice the numbers and the trends? How many of your visitors, do you think, come back to your blog after your page takes five minutes to load on their iPhone, and needs the twenty flick, carpal thumb scroll to read browse through the huge header? If you care about your reader and want to keep up with this growing populations’ reading habits, a mobile plugin on your blog is a necessity. Now what you use is up to you.

Cory Miller’s iThemes is now completely GPL compliant! This is great news indeed and they are the second premium theme vendor who fully support the GPL and align their business models with that of WordPress and its community. Cory is a friend of mine and in full disclosure, has been an advertiser on this blog in the past. We have had various discussions about this topic and I am very happy that they have made the switch. Everyone will be better off for it. This change means that all themes purchased from iThemes can be installed on multiple blogs without restriction but they will continue to be supported as before. iThemes will continue to sell their themes and packages and provide the support for their themes but their themes will now be licensed under the GPL. This will mean more freedom for developers working with iThemes products (and thus more […]

WordPress 2.8 Baker is now available as a full release. 2.8 has a whole bunch of bug fixes, has improvements to themes and widgets and has added some fantastic taxonomy features. The WordPress dev blog post linked above goes into detail about what is new. Users are now able to browse the WordPress theme directory and add themes with one click. 2.8 should also be faster to use overall. I don’t see my upgrade bar yet but since the final version bump just went in,  the upgrade notice should be there soon. You can read a review of WordPress 2.8 we did earlier. If you already know about and were eager to upgrade, you can download WordPress 2.8 or use the automatic upgrade option to upgrade to it.
