WordPress Functions Implementation History Tool: Ozh has come up with a fantastic WordPress Function Implementation History tool that is essentially a way to check when a function was implemented in WordPress and when and if it was removed in a trendy axajified manner, it will let you search across nearly 1900 functions through 31 WordPress releases, from 0.71 to 2.3. He also released a map of WordPress functions through all the versions. Very useful tool indeed. Thank you Ozh!

ExtJS WordPress Theme: This WordPress theme was put together to show off the capabilities of the ExtJS library and according to the author, is more of an experiment and still in alpha. This theme is chock full of features and looks more like an AJAX email application than a WordPress theme. Features include AJAXy stuff like and accordian sidebar, full AJAX load of posts and comments, AJAX calendar, quick search and comment preview. The theme is widget and tag aware but the author warns that some plugins and widgets might not work as expected. Now the theme does seem a little slow to load and to navigate but that might be due to the server it is running on and not the application. It is definitely fun to play with and navigate around! The theme is released under the LGPL.

The Google Reader recently started displaying the number of feed readers per feed in their reader interface. This count is of the number of people that read your blogs’ feed through various Google systems and NOT the total count of feed readers for your blog (as might be available through the Feedburner chicklet). You can log into Google Reader and type the feeds’ name into the “Add Subscription” form which essentially does a search for the feed name and provides you with the results. There has been some coverage of bloggers who have been looking at this “new” feature with rose colored glasses while others have been extremely critical of the numbers themselves and of Google displaying these numbers and the blogosphere seems to be somewhere in the middle. I am all in favor of stats. I know it is somewhat self serving and narcissistic even. But stats keep us […]

Post to WordPress from Nokia Lifeblog: Phoneboy has updated his script to post to WordPress 2.3+ Blogs from Nokia Lifeblog and it now “theoretically supports posting videos” from your Nokia Lifeblog to a WordPress blog. This is a pretty cool idea and I wish there was something similar for Sprint phones.

Vote for the Winner of the 2007 Blogging Scholarship: CollegeScholarships.org is entertaining votes for the 2007 round of its $10,000 blogging scholarships and the list of finalists is fantastic. There are some awesome blogs in there including a friend of mine, Paul Stamatiou. Now I will not be so bold as to ask you to vote for Paul, but since I am biased, I did vote for him. If you are looking for some good reading from some seriously talented and motivated young folks who blog, and help one of them win the $10,000 for school, this is the ticket.

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 […]

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“.

Digg saturation: Patrick from Blogstorm came up with a way to rank websites using a Digg saturation value that he come up with by searching Google with a specific URI. Apparently Google really likes sites that are Dugg. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Adigg.com+weblogtoolscollection.com To check your own Digg saturation, just replace weblogtoolscollection.com above with your own blogs’ URI. What is your Digg saturation?
