Well, the launch date of WPInspiration.com (which has moved to November 1st), is quickly approaching and we’re really stoked about it. Dan dove into the development a little under a week ago and it’s been going great so far.

We want to make sure WPInspiration is in tip-top shape before it goes live, so we’re calling for all beta testers! If you’d like to help us make sure WPInspiration is pixel-perfect and every part of the site is working just right, then please reply in the comments. Once you’ve replied in the comments, we’ll send you an e-mail with a link to our development server URL and some information about the site. We’d love it if you could send us some decent feedback regarding any site bugs/errors, as well as your opinion on the design and functionality. If you’d like to participate in our beta testing, we need to have your comment by Saturday morning at 12pm EST, so reply ASAP.

Once WPInspiration launches, we’ll write a post here with more information about the site, including our upcoming plans.

wpSLEEP

wpSLEEP allows you to create posts in advance have them automatically publish when you’d like. You can then set when different parts of a post are viewable.

WP Blogsecurify 1.0

WP Blogsecurify 1.0 is a security plugin for WordPress designed to integrate several simple but important security patches for the popular blogging platform.

WP Easy Uploader

WP Easy Uploader was created to make the life of WordPress bloggers easier by allowing an Administrator to add plugins, themes, and any type of file to WordPress directly from inside WordPress. You no longer have to load up an FTP client just to try out that latest plugin or to upload a text document for people to download.

Landing Sites

Landing Sites display a list of related posts specifically from the search keywords used when visitors are referred to your site from a search engine.

Moderator

Moderator is a WordPress Plugin and associated desktop application, built using Adobe AIR, that allows you to view and moderate comments from your desktop.

PHPInclusion

PHPInclusion is a plugin that allows you (the admin only) to insert the content of a PHP file into your post/page with include(), require() , require_once() and include_once() functions.

This week I had the chance to talk to Tung Do, aka Small Potato, via e-mail. He gave me a mini update, letting me know that he will be refunding the ThemeClub Members that he has PayPal records of. I’ve already received my $5 back, so most of you who signed up before, will too.

On another note, he hasn’t gotten any word from the owner of WPDesigner, but he does know that someone is still paying the ($400) monthly hosting bill.

I know it’s pretty old news already, but what happened with WPDesigner is just too weird. I kinda miss having Small Potato in the WordPress community. What do you guys think about the whole situation?
