Episode #3 is also the first episode where J. D. Bentley joins the podcast, and discusses WordPress news and links with me. You can find him on Twitter at @jdbentley.
In this episode, we discussed:
- Where to find WordPress news, a Theme Playground post
- Prologue version 2 is on the way, and the new ThemePlayground.TV is built on the original Prologue
- The “Making a Living with WordPress” post discussed in this episode will be on Theme Playground next week.
- The Future of WordPress Themes was discussed yet again, from Theme Shaper
- J.D. ‘s picks: Photobook, a Plugin for posting your Facebook photos to your WordPress site, and WP Invoice for using WordPress as an invoicing app
- We also discussed Tweetsuite, a Plugin, and niche themes like Band Theme, a theme by Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks
- My pick: WordPress Plugin Development Beginner’s Guide, a book by Vladimir Prevolac, which I’ll be reviewing next week
This was a really fun one to record, and I think J.D. and I both enjoyed doing the show live with a chat room open at the same time. Remember to catch each week’s live recording (tentatively on Thursday evenings) at ThemePlayground.TV.

I’m trying to get “Theme Playground WordPress Podcast #3,” but the link in iTunes isn’t working, and the audio player in this post isn’t playing it either.
