Web Site Templates | Wordpress Themes

Still on the search for a SEO plugin for WordPress that gives the extras that might be needed for clients - without removing the flexibility, such as there is, even further from the standard setup of page titles, digests etc.

This one isn’t bad - wpSEO - although the page is German, which might put […]

With the imminent arrival of WordPress 2.7, there will be significant changes, most particularly to the way a theme brings comments to the page.

As it seems at present, all themes produced prior to WP 2.7 will be rendered obsolete - in the sense of not producing the full 2.7 functionality… whether you may want this, […]

Whether progress in WordPress development continues at the same pace or not, the issue of the capability of a theme to display all new functions, template tags etc, is a live one.
Referred to as compatibility, this perhaps isn’t quite accurate - a theme will (should) work with a range of WordPress versions, (for various reasons, […]

So Google springs a minor suprise, with an update of public PR after approx 2 months, rather than the 3 months we had become accustomed to. This after the rather wayward schedule of 2007.
And so the (conspiracy) theories come out of the woodwork.

Becoming fractionally tired of these Twitter API limits, which seem to lock everything down fairly early on the day and keep everything slow thereafter.
The canard, (and I’m sure it is only that), that Twitter is a bit wonky due to the Ruby becomes self-fulfilling publicity, simply due to the prominence and focus of the site… […]

It seems ‘official’ - poor honest WordPress Theme designers have a load more work in prospect to drag their themes into compatibility with the projected 2.7 version.
Where this all fits with the discussion about Intense Debate still isn’t elucidated - fair enough, this is a major issue and not going to be decided and promulgated […]

WordPress has jQuery in it - it’s what makes the AJAX in the admin do its stuff and is there to be ‘re-used’ in any site customisations you fancy.

Having followed the progress of a fair few WP sites, some thoughts on the subject of SEO for WordPress.

So it’s the first 5000 lucky punters in the survey - that’s how it works… And this exercise in focus group ‘democracy’, well, that has a nice feel, does it not? (more…)

WP MarkItUp is not bad at all… Runs on the standard MarkItUp code, driven by jQuery and is a WP plugin.
Tried it out by bodging in a Paypal “buy now” button to the editor, and it does ok, and would make putting in various extra functions of this sort a reasonably modular experience for the […]

Many comments on the recent acquisition by Automattic of Intense Debate  - or just the comments system thereof - whichever being the case is slightly glossed depending on the source.
And, hey presto, many comments of the “it’s so kewl variety”
The assumption at present is, perhaps, that this is a wordpress.com deal, and not in the […]

Hmm, web services to service a smaller and smaller niche, with plugins to handle your every whim and desire - a WP plugin to import the listings of your CellarTracker wine cellar into your WordPress installation.
And we’ve survived quite well with just a duplicate-content plugin and that’s about it.

Some signs of democracy… ? The proposed WordPress v2.7 Navigation Options poll announced multiply a couple days ago seems to have paused, if not died.
The poll - not quite a survey - by last thing yesterday was showing as ‘closed’ - so maybe the result was entirely clear-cut and no need to go any […]
