Excited about WordPress 3.0? Ready to experience all the new features like the lighter admin interface, merge of WP with WP MU, the new default theme Twenty Ten, plus bug fixes and feature enhancements? It’s easy and it’s quick – just upgrade from your WP’s Dashboard and ta-da! your blog is… wait, broken? Yikes.
I’ve been looking for a way to integrate Google Buzz and my personal WordPress blog since Google Buzz was released earlier this year. This afternoon I thought I’d found a solution based on the description “BLUGZ” provided for it’s product: “Blugz for WordPress is a standalone, highly optimized Google™ Buzz™ stream importer for Wordress.” The plugin did nothing, albeit highly optimizing and streamlining my agitation.
Happy 100th blog post, Geekistry! It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached this milestone having only launched in March. Since then we’ve not only written here on the blog, but also recorded 16 podcasts (most of them live-streamed), interviewed Tom Merritt, Veronica Belmont, Eileen Rivera, The foursquare Day Guy, and Doug and Michelle Allan from Banana’s Records. We’ve participated in all kinds of geekishly fun events like South by Southwest Interactive 2010, the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Record Store Day, #140Conf NYC, Free Comic Book Day, Barcamp Orlando, GoGoGeeky, 4SQDay, and LessConf 3010 (to name a few) but there’s so much more to come…
The time I’ve been spending with my iPad has been sporadic at best. I love the thing, but my schedule doesn’t allow me to use it as much as I had hoped over these last few weeks. This past weekend, I finally had a chance to sit down with it and write a single blog post for another site I’m working on. I was hoping that the iPad’s version of Safari would run WordPress as well as its desktop counterpart, but unfortunately that’s not the case.
The 2.9* release of WordPress added support for post thumbnail insertion, editing, and display. However, many themes haven’t incorporated this feature in their design or they still utilize thumbnail plugins. While many thumbnail plugins are great for additional bells and whistles (the ability to do advanced image editing, etc.) sometimes the cleanest and least cluttered way to display thumbnails is to add WordPress’s thumbnail codex to the theme itself.
