Sample Post Collection September 12, 2008

WPCandy have released a sample post collection that you can import to your wordpress installation, it’s something I have personally been looking for for a while. As a wordpress developer I need to ensure that all the styling works, comments, links, heading tags, image alignment, everything. This collection addresses that issue and enables you to check that every part is correct.

If you are a wordpress developer or just need to test out some themes on your blog before posting your own content then check out WPCandy’s Sample Post Collection

Wordpress Theme Directory Online July 18, 2008

Wordpress have released a theme directory based on their popular plugins directory. You can read the official post here.

Wordpress used to have a themes directory but it was pretty bad and now they are saying that they need a centralised area for people to download Wordpress themes because there is not quote “a good centralized place for people to browse, search, comment on, and rate themes”. Personally I think that there are plenty of places for this, Wordpress are just entering this area a bit late and showing that they haven’t done any research into this.

Wordpress 2.6 Review July 16, 2008

Wordpress 2.6 “Tyner” was released yesterday and has some nice improvements over 2.5 and 2.5.1 making the new interface much easier to use and adding some great features to make blogging much easier. Today, I installed 2.6 on my localhost to check it out and I was pleased with the new features. 2.5 had quite a few bugs that were pretty annoying but most of these were ironed out in 2.5.1, 2.6 however just seems much more stable like a chair built with wood and nails as opposed to wood and tape. Oh, and if you are wondering why it is called Tyner, it was named after jazz pianist McCoy Tyner.
