The other day when I was checking my e-mail, I found a nice little surprise in my inbox from Tung Do, aka Small Potato, the previous owner of WPDesigner.com. He said he had just got back from Thailand, which was a fun and an eye opening experience.

He also mentioned he was disappointed with how WPDesigner turned out, and although the Themes Club is Pawel’s responsibility, if WPDesigner remains inactive and Pawel does nothing with the site until January 2009, he’ll personally refund the current paying members (only to the customers in his PayPal records). So if you’re worried about your $5, fear not.

What do you guys think is going to happen? Do you think Pawel will come back from the grave and bring WPDesigner back to life?

Twitter is awesome. It’s a great tool for quick communication and an even more awesome tool for social networking. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you know I’m quite active and love to tweet (update my status) with funny and random things, but still talk about news on WordPress.

Anyways, Twitter is only fun when you’re following certain people. If you follow boring people who tweet about boring stuff, your timeline gets backed up with boring crap. That’s boring, obviously.

Here’s a list of the Twitter users, that I follow, that tweet most about WordPress news.

A few months ago I wrote an article on how to use Coda with WordPress via Clips. Well the creators of Massive Blue and Nonimage have created a site called Coda Clips, featuring a ton of clips for CSS, Expression Engine, HTML, JS, PHP, Textpattern, WordPress, and other coding languages.

While browsing through some of the clips, I noticed some tags I have never even seen before! Here’s a few that are worth mentioning:

Anyways, if you use Coda, make sure to check out this sweet resource. Oh and if you have a few of your own snippets, make sure to submit them!

During my interview with Small Potato, I realized that this man was very smart. As I dove into the reasoning behind why his theme club was setup in the way that it had been, a number of light bulbs went off in my head. These are just some of the pros and cons I have discovered when looking into the SP theme club.

I recently attended the Future of Web Apps conference on February 29th with my friends Alain Fontaine and Ptah Dunbar. While we were there, we had the opportunity to meet Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress. We had a nice discussion on premium WordPress themes, the WordPress Themes Marketplace, and WordPress themes development in general. It was such an honor. Just thought I’d let ya’ll know!

Is it just me, or do you guys have tons of blogs in your RSS reader? As of today, I have a total of 36 items in my RSS reader. Woah. The following are some blogs I’ve recently added to my reader.
