Our aim here at Weblog Tools Collection is to provide a platform for authors of themes and plugins and at the same time provide WordPress users a single place to keep up-to-date with the WordPress world. We try to keep abreast with both plugin and theme releases. The first place that we look for releases is the WLTC News Forum and in this post I’ll try to cover some of the points that you should keep in mind to facilitate your listing. 1. Post in the appropriate category The forum has been divided into several categories for different content. The two primary categories that you should be looking at are the New WordPress Plugins category and the New WordPress Themes category for plugins and themes respectively. We also have a Premium WordPress Themes category for those themes which require payment to use. 2. Writing your post This is the most […]

[Continue Reading...]WPMU.org has changed hands and the blog is now written by James and Andrew from Incsub. 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. Incsub has been an ardent supporter and reader of WeblogToolsCollection and they are good people.
[Continue Reading...]This is pretty exciting news and I am very enthusiastic about it. The new WordPress Theme Directory has just been announced. It is available through http://wordpress.org/extend/themes just like the plugin directory and has all the features and infrastructure support of the WordPress Extend umbrella. The look of the plugin area has also been maintained to provide a familiar feel. That being said, there are only a few themes on the new directory. You can upload your themes by just logging into the Theme Directory using your WordPress.org username and password and following the instructions and meeting the requirements on the upload page. The theme upload process is mostly automated except for a manual review. When you upload your theme, you should expect to receive an email (soon after uploading your theme, email reception times may vary) saying that your theme is waiting to be reviewed. If you do not receive […]
[Continue Reading...]WordPress 2.6 has been officially released today. Matt surprised many of us by releasing WordPress 2.6 almost a month ahead of schedule. There are several new features in WordPress 2.6, few of which we had covered earlier. The WordPress team have also created a video that demonstrates the new features bundled with WordPress 2.6. https://videopress.com/v/mARhRBcT/fmt_std Download WordPress 2.6
[Continue Reading...]A few days ago we had told you what you should know about WordPress 2.6. The post described new features that will be introduced shortly in WordPress 2.6. Though there are several new features that you may like in this new version, there might be many that have gone unnoticed that were introduced in the earlier versions of WordPress. To quell the anticipation that users might have for the latest version, we wanted to write a series of posts that will cover WordPress from its infancy to WordPress 2.5 (the latest major version) that many of you use. The WordPress team has been naming their major releases after popular Jazz legends and we will take a look at code names for the past releases. B2 / Cafelog WordPress is the official successor of B2/Cafelog which is a blogging platform created in early 2001 by Michel Valdrighi using PHP and MySQL. […]

[Continue Reading...]I have been asked this question quite a few times and I never have a perfect answer. It is obviously an important question to ask but it can be answered in many different ways based on preferences, need for plugins, optimization techniques used and a variety of other factors. Weblog Tools Collection uses a lot of plugins and is very query heavy but the in spite of that, the front page uses 59 queries to generate itself. I think the default (on a vanilla WordPress install on the default theme) is 27 or something of that nature. The larger the number of queries, the slower the page is going to load and the more load you are going to put on your MySql server. All of the above is true if you do not use inline or regenerative caching mechanisms. The caveat on this blog is that its plugins and […]
[Continue Reading...]WordPress for iPhone: Big news from the Automattic team yesterday. They released a first look at their iPhone App that works on both WordPress.com and WordPress.org blogs. The application is Open Source, available from the iPhone App store and will be available for free.

The official iPhone app for WordPress blog is linked above. The application received rave reviews from a variety of sources such as TechCrunch and Webware and ma.tt talked about it yesterday.
