We Love WP is a niche gallery specifically showcasing WordPress powered sites. We Love WP has been around for quite a while now and was even sold earlier this year in January. We Love WP has also been recently redesigned again, but this time by famous Henry Jones. I must say, I do like the new design and I think it suits the gallery well.
I only have one request to the owners of We Love WP, please spell WordPress correctly. Thanks for fixing the spelling!
After a great 21 months of Small Potato putting out great WordPress themes, WordPress tutorials, WordPress news, WordPress everything, he’s decided to hang a For Sale sign up on the site.
When I first saw the RSS item in my RSS reader, I immediately thought it was a joke. I sorta panicked actually. I remember Small Potato saying in my interview with him, that he couldn’t imagine selling WPDesigner.com, his baby, but it seems he’s found a good reason. He’s selling his site because of personal reasons. He’s going to be traveling for the rest of the year and won’t be able to juggle the two.
Now, Small Potato, like any other good Web site seller, isn’t looking for just anyone to buy. He’s looking for someone experienced with WordPress, so they may continue putting out quality WordPress themes, as well as good content. Hopefully SP finds the right person, as it would be shame to see such a wonderful, and personally my favorite, blog about WordPress go down the drain.
If you’re interested in purchasing WPDesigner.com, check out the SitePoint listing.
So yesterday was supposed to be the release date for highly anticipated WordPress 2.5. If you’re a geek like me you woke up, checked your RSS feeds for any news on the release, managed to get to a computer/phone during school to check for more updates, and then got home and checked for more updates via RSS, Twitter, and friends. If you’re also like me (and everyone else for that matter), you were let down. Disappointed. Sad. You might’ve even caught a tear running down the side of your cheek. WordPress 2.5 was no where to be found.
Anyways, according to the WordPress Trac, the WordPress 2.5 release date has been pushed to March 17th 2008. It seems development is still undergo and it just isn’t ready for release yet. Looks like we’ll be waiting another week. Until then my WordPress buddies!
Verne Ho, the owner of Creative Briefing, has e-mailed me about having some problems with his blog resulting in errors for his visitors and users. He states in the e-mail that he did some investigating and found out it might be something wrong with WordPress 2.3.3. “Upon investigation, I discovered something that might suggest a vulnerability in WordPress 2.3.3. I haven’t been able to find much information on the issue so I decided to document my own findings.” he states in the e-mail.
Has anyone else been having problems like Verne? I haven’t experienced anything yet and I’m hoping I won’t have since WordPress 2.5 is scheduled for release within the next few days.
If you have been having problems like Verne, he’s posted an article on his blog for a temporary fix to solve this. If you’re interested, check it out here.
I’m pretty excited about WordPress 2.5 being (hopefully) released sometime in March. According to the WordPress Roadmap, 2.5 it’s set to be released on March 10, 2008, which is a little less than a month from today.
Hey everyone, just a quick post letting you all know WordPress 2.3.3 has been released. According to WordPress.org, there was a flaw in their XML-RPC implementation, “such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog.” WordPress 2.3.3 also fixes a few minor bugs, so it looks like it’ll be a good idea to upgrade.
If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can just download the whole release.
During the last couples of days I’ve seen some pretty neat stuff coming from different blogs throughout the WordPress Community. The WordPress Community is a pretty big place. A while back, I read 0.8% of the Internet is powered by WordPress. Woah! Now, 0.8% may not seem a lot, but think about it, at least a couple hundred sites are created a day.
Anyway, I’ll be going through some cool WordPress related stuff you should check out!
