WordPress jobs are starting to come in high demand again. Automattic is looking for talented folks in a variety of fields, and Crowd Favorite is looking for PHP developers, but you won’t be able to walk into just any office and apply for a WordPress-related position. You’ll need to know where to look first. Elance seems to be the way to go these days, and it’s definitely worth noticing that “WordPress” is their most in-demand skill set. I used Elance for a few jobs in the past, and it’s incredibly easy. Just signup for an account, pick your client, and they’ll either take care of or walk you through the rest. They even have some nice arbitration options if a client stiffs you on the bill. Another great place to look is the official WordPress Jobs board. In fact, that’s how I found my job here. The concept is pretty […]

[Continue Reading...]Previews of upcoming WordPress 3.2 changes seem to be pouring out regularly these days, especially since the news about the new distraction free writing mode earlier. The team has got to work on a full Dashboard refresh, which you see some nice screenshots of here. Overall, the new look is quite a bit sleeker and clearer than earlier versions. We’re also getting our first sneak peaks at Twenty Eleven, which is still pretty much Duster with a few minor changes. If you’re handy with accessibility issues, the team is looking for both feedback on Twenty Eleven and volunteers to join a new accessibility working group. If you can’t wait to get your hands on these cool new changes, install the WordPress Beta Tester plugin to grab the latest trunk. Are you running the latest WordPress 3.2 trunk? What do you think so far?

[Continue Reading...]A new distraction free writing mode has made its way into the WordPress trunk for the upcoming 3.2 release. As the name implies, the goal is to create a simple screen that pretty much displays nothing but the text you type, though further options can revealed simply by moving your mouse. If you’re running WordPress on the bleeding edge, we’d love to hear what you think! If you’re sticking with the stable release, like most of us, check out these handy screenshots from Automattician Stephane Daury.

[Continue Reading...]So, you’re on your way to write you latest blog masterpiece, but are shocked to find out that you can no longer log in to your WordPress blog. The password isn’t “password” like you had remembered, and the piece of paper that you wrote it on was washed with your pants last week. What can you do? The easiest way to reset your password is with the “Lost your password?” link under your blog’s log in form. This will send a password reset email to the email address in your user profile, so be sure to keep that up to date. What if the email never arrives, or you’ve lost access to the email address in question? Fortunately, there are plenty of alternative ways to reset your password covered in this Codex article.
