Building your own WordPress Plugin Series: Ronald over at Devlounge has been putting together a very nice series of articles on developing WordPress plugins. Though I believe that these are not designed for the hard core programmer (WordPress newbies might benefits from a quick looksee), they are written quite well with good examples and might make a good project for the weekend coder. I link to the News Post since I cannot find a good place where all the articles are linked. The articles so far include the following: How to write a wordpress plugin – Introduction Seven reasons to write a wordpress plugin How to get ideas for wordpress plugins Structure of a wordpress plugin WordPress plugin actions WordPress plugin filters Ronald writes well and I like his work. Be sure to ask lots of questions!

Corel’s WordPerfect Lightning Integrates with WordPress: Corel told Read/WriteWeb that “tens of thousands of people” have downloaded and tried WordPerfect Lightning so far. The impending update (which goes live tomorrow morning) will add integration with WordPress, enabling users to repurpose content for their blogs. Corel told us that with WordPress’ open SDK and strong support for images, it makes it easy for Lightning users to blog information they’ve collected. Lighning is a web and desktop content aggregator from Corel that was launched in February.

The interview is divided into two parts. The first part, linked above, deals mostly with blogging in general, money from blogging, US candidate blogs Matt’s opinions on the blogosphere. The second part deals more with WordPress, new version 2.2, widgets, Web 2.0, Akismet and the like. The title for the second interview really threw me off and I won’t ruin the surprise any further. Matt is a really personable and articulate video interviewee and I am sure his presentations are just as much fun to attend. Every time I listen to him speak on almost any topic about the web, his knowledge and his stance really complement each other.

Yahoo is going to rebrand MyBlogLog and they will make some effort to remove offensive photos, remove certain types of sites and make it more corporate friendly. I liked the product and I think that some housekeeping will go a long way in making the tools more usable and presentable.

It’s part of the intent of open source software — to balance the scales by devaluing the obscene profit margins that exist in the commercial software business. . . . There are real millionaires– even billionaires– who built companies on open source software. Just ask Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Or the YouTube founders. The real money isn’t in the software. It’s in the service you build with that software.

Links remain same, but the date changed. 10 Rules for your Small Business Website: Having worked for a small business for some time and with WordPress being such a widely used tool for building small business websites, I think most of these are well thought out and make a lot of sense. My ex-employers website violates almost every rule mentioned. Spotback provides you with a small script to embed on your posts to provide centralized and socialized ranking for almost anything. Visitors will also receive personalized referrals and recommendations from your site or blog. No WordPress plugin available but I am sure the plugin programmers out there can whip something up quite easily with the WordPress hooks available. Perils of Problogging ia points out the Perils of “Problogging” and when I was notified of the entry, I almost felt like I […]

[Continue Reading...]The following is a quote from a post on a theme blog: Hello, I plan on posting a thread about this on digitalpoint, but I thought I would put the information here as well. I am selling two sponsor links to this theme which will appear in the footer where it says “Sponsor One” and “Sponsor Two”. I will be selling each link for a BIN price of $120 and a starting bid of $20! (BIN for both links together is $180).You may say, why would I pay this price for one link at the bottom of a theme?!Your answer: This theme will be promoted on many wordpress theme sites (I’ll list them below) and will be seen by many wordpress bloggers who will hopefully choose to use it on their blog. Each person that chooses to use the theme is another link that you have to your site, which […]
