The longer you participate in the WordPress community, the more you’ll hear the term ‘Subversion’. Subversion is what allows WordPress installations to be upgraded automatically as new releases are committed to the WordPress versioning system. In other words, using subversion is a great way to use the bleeding edge of WordPress. David Peralty has published an extensive guide on the GeeksareSexy website which contains all of the information you’ll need to know on how to run WordPress with Subversion. Grab your favorite beverage because the article is quite lengthy. I’ve been wanting to setup a WordPress/subversion install on my local machine but never quite figured out how to do it. This article has inspired me though and I plan on going through with the process within the next few days. If you end up installing WordPress with Subversion, let me know about your experience.

I have enabled it on WeblogToolsCollection for the time being for people to check it out. Enable at the bottom of the page (look for a small bar), click anywhere on the page and chat away! If you want to put it on your own blog, visit firef.ly WARNING: It is addictive in an “Ooo! Shiny!” sort of way. 🙂 [EDIT] Now gone from this blog. Please use the demo on the firef.ly page to test it out.
[Continue Reading...]Slickdeals.net Blog: Slickdeals recently started a new “Slickblog” with WordPress. They seem to have put together a pretty seamless integeration between WordPress and their highly complex vBulletin installation and the comments on their blog are redirected to the main forums. I really like their sidebar items, including their hot topics by ratings and up and coming topics by the number of comments.

WPMU.org is intended to be a WeblogToolsCollection for WordPress MU with the latest and greatest news, MU plugins, themes, SEO tips, ‘How to’ guides etc. If you are a WordPress MU user, add their feed to your feed reader and if you have something to share with their readers, take a gander at their contribute page.

[Continue Reading...]I didn’t know these existed, but apparently you can assign a child theme to a parent theme. A child theme inherits all the template files of the parent theme except for the style.css file and functions.php, which take precedence over the original. Ian Stewart of Themeshaper.com published a post ( Functions.php WordPress Child Themes ) which goes into detail on how to redesign your blog the smart way basing the work off of a theme framework. I’m still not sure about the usage of parent-child themes so any help you guys/gals could give me would be appreciated.

This might be a good time (WordPress 2.6 Beta 2 is out) to start digging into your plugins to get them to be 2.6 compatible.
[Continue Reading...]Google Trends: weblogtoolscollection.com provides (slightly) interesting facts on your blog. Though the product is free, signing in is required to see the number estimates. Not all sites seem to have a lot of data in Google Trends but it was fun to browse the various links. Most interesting to me were the “also visited” section and the “also searched” section. Matt Cutts had an interesting writeup on Google Trends for websites a little over a week ago.
[Continue Reading...]James Dimick, author of the Easy Admin Color Schemes plugin for WordPress has released a color scheme based exclusively on WordPress 2.3. Now, when you install this plugin, the default color scheme selected is called “For the Love of 2.3” which will take the new WordPress and make it look like the old. Something many WordPressers have wanted since the release of 2.5. However, James mentions that: It isn’t a completely faithful recreation but I think it’s pretty darn close. The scheme was created purely from CSS with no modifications to the core code. So while you might not be able to make WordPress 2.5 look similar to the way WordPress 2.3 did in terms of the user interface, you can at least slap on old faithful for that nostalgic look.
