Not that we do not hear enough of Ma.tt and his history with WordPress, but USA Today had a nice article on Matt, WordPress and his fans. Mom says her son is so focused on WordPress, “Sometimes he forgets to eat and sleep. He’s a young man in a hurry. He never stops. I keep telling him to slow down.” Also of interest, via a review on Mashable, is of a service called Errorlytics. It is a 404 redirect service that lets a website owner track 404 page hits, transparently redirect 404 pages to other content within a blog and/or website and possibly increases pageviews and SEO. They have a custom WordPress plugin for the purpose and the service is free for one domain and 5 rules. Now is it worth it?

Matt has put together a tool to easily access (most) of the WordPress.org Plugin stats API using a simple GET string. It returns data back as JSON, and you can see the docs + example at http://api.uproot.us Though the functionality is dependent on the future availability of the endpoint at uproot.us (I wish the source for the API was available), I can see lots of possibilities for plugin developers. Drew has put together a tutorial to optimize your Apache VPS for WordPress that is worth a looksee if you are running a small VPS and need that extra oomph. Lastly, via Zedomax, I came upon a small tweak for MySql that could (and has in my case) dramatically improve MySql performance. Check out Angsuman’s tip and explanation if you are interested. Be forewarned that this might have other impacts on your MySql depending on the amount and type of load […]

Wordmobi: WordPress Client for S60.: Wordmobi is a WordPress client for the Symbian S60 series of devices. You do need to download and install Python on your device for this client to work. 30 Excellent WordPress video Tutorials lists a lot of good videos including videos for administration of WordPress, getting started, theme development and WordPress tools. Blogo is a blog editor for the Mac and Mashable has a nice review for the application. The new release also adds comment moderation for WordPress 2.7 or higher, improved Safari integration, and offline editing. I personally never got into desktop applications for blogging but I happen to find some sort of creative solace in the WordPress admin interface. 🙂

WordCamp Chicago: WordCamp is coming to Chicago in 2009! Since I am so close (Toledo), I would love to attend. I know that Jeff is planning to be there as well. Past WordCamps that I have attended have always turned out to be fun events that are a great place to meet people, learn about the latest goings on in the WordPress world, generate and fan new ideas and make new connections within the WordPress community. WordCamp Chicago is being organized by Lisa Sabin-Wilson, Brian Gardner, Wendy Piersall and Cory Miller. The details of this WordCamp are up in the air but the organizers are looking for sponsors, attendees, speakers and any other help that you can provide. If you are a WordPress enthusiast, have never been to a WordCamp before and are from the Chicagoland area, this is your chance. Are you going?

You’ll have to define your Personal Data once in the Preferences Dialog and every time you click the easyComment Button on the bottom Status Bar in your Firefox window, it searches the comment form on the current page and fills it with your data saving you a huge chunk of type-in work.” from the author’s post.
