<blockquote><p>Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.</p></blockquote>
<p>For some reason that has stuck with me all these years. Today I’m going to rephrase and re-purpose that line:</p>
<blockquote><p>Now is the time for great theme developers to come to the aid of their community.</p></blockquote>
<p>The theme directory has been chugging along for more than a year now. During that time we’ve tinkered with the review process and some of the management tools, but haven’t really opened it up as much as we’d like. It&#8217;s time to rip off the band-aid and take some action; to that end, we&#8217;re looking for community members to help with the process of reviewing themes for the directory.</p>
<p>Right now this is a bit like a New Year’s resolution to exercise every day: it’s what we need to do, but we’re still figuring out exactly how it will all work. That’s part of the community involvement as well &#8212; we expect that those who pitch in will also help shape the process.</p>
<p>What’s involved in reviewing themes for the directory? There are some obvious things, such as being familiar with PHP and WordPress theme code (and the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development_Checklist">theme development checklist</a>), with an eye for security issues. You would also need to have the ability to set up a separate install of the latest version of WordPress for testing theme submissions.</p>
<p>Hopefully a few talented theme developers are reading this right now and saying to themselves, &#8220;I’d love to help! How do I to get started?&#8221; Just join the new <a href="http://lists.wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/theme-reviewers">theme reviewers mailing list</a> and we&#8217;ll get you up to speed on this new opportunity to come to the aid of your community.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:06:11 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Joseph Scott";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>In a <a href="http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2010/06/08/why-have-we-changed-the-blogs-at-independent-co-uk/">blog post</a> from Online Editor Martin King, the reasons for the switch from Livejournal included the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>
* to continue pushing forward a site that is ever more social-media-friendly, incorporating our recently improved and well-received comments functionality;</p>
<p>* to enable our posters to add quicker views and analysis more easily.</p>
<p>The last point will be especially beneficial to The Independent’s overseas correspondents, with their busy and occasionally perilous lives. As long as they can send an email, that can be posted immediately, including any image.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Mark wraps up his post with a very insightful point, saying &#8220;We are demonstrating that globally standard programs can free mainstream journalism from the complex bespoke set-ups of the past.&#8221;</p>

If you aren&#8217;t familiar with StackOverflow or any of its sister-sites, it&#8217;s a sort of Questions and Answers forum where good answers are voted up, and float to the top. There is also a reputation system which rewards users for being active and providing quality feedback. I was not previously an active member on any of the sites, but I had run across answers to some of my own questions in the past when using Google to search.</p>
<p>I signed up on the WordPress Answers site, which is currently in a &#8216;discussion&#8217; phase, where it needs sample questions to help define the scope. I provided some questions of my own, voted on the &#8216;on-topic&#8217; or &#8216;off-topic&#8217; status for the sample questions, and provided feedback on many questions when I thought it was necessary to explain my opinion.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, back on the wp-hackers mailing list, there was a flurry of responses, including some people concerned that catering to this additional site might &#8220;splinter the development community&#8221; between the <em>official</em> and <em>unofficial</em> sites.</p>
<p><span id="more-2273"></span>When I first started looking at the StackExchange site, I mentioned it to <a href="http://www.digitaldivas.net/">my wife, Susan</a>. She likes WordPress, but she uses <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupal</a> a lot at work. After noticing that nobody else had set up a Drupal proposal yet, she started <a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/2978/drupal-answers">Drupal Answers</a>. Shortly after, someone asked why such a site would be needed, when there are already Drupal forums, and asked, &#8220;Is it good to splinter that effort?&#8221;</p>
<p>Again with the &#8220;splintering&#8221; talk? Why does this particular project invite claims of dividing the community? I know that in the WordPress community, there are many other places besides the official support forums where users gather to ask questions and share information &#8211;<a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/"> Weblog Tools Collection</a>, <a href="http://www.wptavern.com/forum/">WP Tavern</a>, and <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/wordpress">StackOverflow</a> just to name a few, and many plugins and themes have their own support venues, hosted by their creators. And I&#8217;m sure the same is true in the Drupal world. Why are these different, why no cries of &#8220;splintering the community&#8221; over these?</p>
<p>So, what do you think? Is there really a problem with a support site for questions and answers, separate from the &#8220;official&#8221; support forums? What features make you want to use one over the other, or both? What is <em>your</em> favorite place to find answers?</p>

I hope all of you are enjoying the weekend. I know I am. So, grab a cup of coffee and have a look at the latest offerings from the WordPress community.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.polaraul.com/2010/06/folio-theme/" title="Folio: www.polaraul.com">Folio</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Folio.png" alt="" title="Folio" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8149" /></p>
<p>Folio is a dark theme aimed at those wanting to create a showcase-type of site such as one that features wallpapers, backgrounds etc. It automatically creates custom fields for preview, image, download and more information links. Supports the WP-PostRatings plugin. This is a child theme of Aurelia which of course means Aurelia must be present in your theme folder for Folio to work. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/aurelia" title="Aurelia: wordpress.org">Aurelia</a> can be found in the WordPress Theme Repository.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.diaboliquedesign.com/diaboliquespring/" title="Diabolique Spring: www.diaboliquedesign.com">Diabolique Spring</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/diabolique-spring.png" alt="" title="diabolique-spring" width="200" height="167" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8150" /></p>
<p>Diabolique Spring is the second theme of Diabolique Design we have featured. This is a sharp-looking dark theme which comes packed with 4 different background images as well as 3 types of backgrounds for your headlines. Some of this theme&#8217;s features include a large footer, cool looking social bookmarking icons and drop-shadow effect for both the sidebar and post area boxes.</p>
<h4><a href="http://teaser.vibefolio.com/" title="Vibefolio teaser: teaser.vibefolio.com">Vibefolio teaser</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vibefolio_teaser.png" alt="" title="vibefolio_teaser" width="200" height="147" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8151" /></p>
<p>Vibefolio teaser is a clean-looking theme which sports a horizontal navigation menu for pages, a widgetized right sidebar and a widgetized 5-column footer. From the theme&#8217;s option page you can do all sorts of things such as upload a custom logo and favicon, include links to Feedburner, Flickr, Twitter and Facebook, insert your Google Analytics code and even disable excerpts. Comes with the TimThumb script.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.politicalcampaignwordpresstheme.com/" title="Political Campaign WordPress Theme: www.politicalcampaignwordpresstheme.com">Political Campaign WordPress Theme</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Political-Campaign.png" alt="" title="Political-Campaign" width="200" height="154" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8152" /></p>
<p>This is a crisp and clean-looking theme perfect for, you guessed it, sites dedicated to political campaigning. For that matter it can be used on any type of political site. It sports a horizontal navigation menu for displaying pages and a widgetized 2 column footer.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.dynamicwp.net/free-themes/fun-day-theme/" title="FunDay: www.dynamicwp.net">FunDay</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FunDay.png" alt="" title="FunDay" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8153" /></p>
<p>DynamicWP has been on a tear releasing new themes regularly since arriving on the scene. Their latest release FunDay is a bit of a departure from their previous work as it has a lighthearted feel to it. It has 2 horizontal navigation menus, one for displaying pages and the other for categories, a widgetized right sidebar and built-in Flickr and Twitter streams. From the theme&#8217;s options page you can upload a new logo and Gravatar, exclude pages and categories from the nav menus and include links to Twitter, your RSS feed and RSS email among other things.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wedding-bells" title="Wedding Bells: wordpress.org">Wedding Bells</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wedding-bells.png" alt="" title="wedding-bells" width="200" height="157" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8154" /></p>
<p>Wedding Bells is a crisp, clean and neat looking theme released by Finnish designer Lauri Liimatta. It sports a horizontal navigation menu for pages and a widgetized right sidebar as well as a large header image which can be changed from the backend.</p>
<p>We hope you have enjoyed this latest round of theme releases. As usual, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions feel free to drop them in the comments section below.

This system started as a major contribution from WooThemes with their WooNav code but since it&#8217;s integration, the WooNav code has been reworked practically line for line to the point where there is almost nothing left of the original. At the time, WooThemes was heralded as an awesome company for contributing such a great piece of functionality to the core of WordPress. I still believe it&#8217;s great they contributed WooNav to the menu system but now things get dicey when it comes to how much credit should be given to WooThemes.</p>
<p>There have been a <a href="http://www.wptavern.com/woothemes-has-and-will-continue-to-get-credit" target="_blank">few posts discussing</a> the credit factor and WooThemes concerning the new menu system. Some people think WooThemes deserves more credit while others think that credit has been given where credit was due. Not only did WooThemes get a lot of press when they made the announcement of giving WooNav to the WordPress core team, but I imagine they will be among the list of all of the other contributors receiving props once WordPress 3.0 goes live. </p>
<p>One thing I have not noticed since my foray into the WordPress community is individuals claiming &#8220;<i>I did this</i>&#8221; and &#8220;<i>I did that</i>&#8221; as if it put them on a higher place than everyone else. Most contributors have been just fine with props given in the major release posts. Again, I don&#8217;t think credit is the main motivator for contributors, it&#8217;s just the icing on the cake. I could be wrong though which I hope you&#8217;ll tell me in the comments.</p>
<p>I have a few questions I want to ask to the wider community. For starters, is everyone that contributes to WordPress on a level playing field in terms of making the software better, or are certain people better than everyone else? Secondly, what do you consider to be adequate credit given to contributors. Third, if you have previous experience, why do you contribute to the WordPress project? Is it for personal gain or just to make the software better? </p>
<p>The last question I have, do you think the WordPress project would get along just fine if the entire notion of giving props or any credit disappeared. That way, it&#8217;s all about the software, not about the people and their egos. Looking forward to reading your feedback.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:18:25 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:15;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>Multisite is the most talked about new feature in WordPress 3.0 &#8211; the WordPress team has folded the functionality of WordPress Multiuser into the main WordPress project. So how do you use it?</p>
<p>This tutorial assumes your are comfortable using FTP clients such as <a href="http://filezilla-project.org/">Filezilla</a> and doing basic edits of WordPress files.</p>
<p>1. Download WordPress 3.0 release candidate. You can find it <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2010/05/wordpress-3-0-release-candidate/">here</a>.</p>
<p>2. Edit wp-config in your favorite text editor and add the following line:</p>
<p>define(&#8216;WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE&#8217;, true);</p>
<p>(I&#8217;d suggest adding it just above the line &#8220;// ** MySQL settings &#8211; You can get this info from your web host ** //&#8221;)</p>
<p>3. Install WordPress normally</p>
<p>NOTE: If you&#8217;ve already installed WordPress 3.0, just edit wp-config and add that line of code, there&#8217;s no need to re-install.</p>
<p>4. Under Tools on the sidebar, you&#8217;ll now have an &#8220;Network&#8221; option. Click it.</p>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot-0.jpg" alt="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" title="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" width="144" height="118" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8139" /></p>
<p>5. Here you&#8217;ll setup your &#8220;Network&#8221; &#8211; a Network is all the blogs or sites you&#8217;ll have under your WordPress install (if you&#8217;re migrating back to WordPress from WordPress Multiuser this might be confusing. In WordPress Multiuser the term for network was &#8220;site&#8221; and the term for site was &#8220;blog.&#8221; Explanation <a href="http://www.andrewnacin.com/2010/03/25/terminology-nightmare-blogs-sites-networks/">here</a>).</p>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot-1.jpg" alt="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" title="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" width="611" height="226" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8140" /></p>
<p>If your host supports it, you&#8217;ll have the option here to choose between subdomains and subdirectories.</p>
<p>Example of a subdomain: site1.yourdomain.com<br />
Example of a subdirectory: yourdomain.com/site1</p>
<p>Fill out your Network Title and Admin E-mail Address and press install.</p>
<p>6. You&#8217;ll be greeted with your next list of steps: creating a blogs.dir directory, editing wp-config.php, and .htaccess. WP recommends, as do I, backing up wp-config.php and .htaccess files before proceeding.</p>
<p>After completing the steps, you&#8217;ll need to log back into WordPress.</p>
<p>7. On your next login, you&#8217;ll notice a new menu: &#8220;Super Admin.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot-2.jpg" alt="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" title="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" width="149" height="168" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8141" /></p>
<p>8. Click &#8220;Sites&#8221; under this option to create a new site. Fill out the forms accordingly.</p>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot-3.jpg" alt="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" title="WordPress 3.0 Multisite Screenshot" width="414" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8142" /></p>
<p>9. After creating a new site, click Users. You&#8217;ll see a new user was created for the new site.</p>
<p>10. You can control all sites on your network through the Super Admin menu, but for right now you might find it easier to administer individual sites through their own admin menus. You can access them as you would a normal wordpress site. In the example above, it would be: http://mydomain.net/malta/wp-admin</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:30:20 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Klint Finley";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

Now that you&#8217;ve had a chance to update your information and make sure that only details you want public are there, let&#8217;s open things up. It&#8217;s been just over 2 months and more than 300,000 people have updated their details so it&#8217;s time to do what we&#8217;ve been really excited to do since we first announced profiles:</p>
<p><strong>As of right now, your profile page on Gravatar.com is open to public linking!</strong></p>
<p>People have been emailing us, asking when they could start linking to this new, centralized identity point. The answer is &#8220;now.&#8221; You can quickly and easily set up a single place that includes to all your contact details, links to other online profiles and websites, plus includes a little information about yourself.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re really looking forward to seeing what people do with their profiles, and we&#8217;ve made a few additional changes so that they are even more useful:</p>
<ul>
<li>Profile pages are completely public, and accessible via nice short links, for example <a href="http://gravatar.com/beau">http://gravatar.com/beau</a> (get your link from the bottom of your profile page)</li>
<li>We&#8217;ve improved our support for translations, and are now <a href="http://blog.gravatar.com/2010/05/31/gravatar-localization/">looking for your help</a> to get the Gravatar website translated into as many languages as possible</li>
<li><a href="http://foursquare.com">foursquare</a> and <a href="http://tripit.com">TripIt</a> have been added to the list of accounts you can confirm via Gravatar (let us know in the comments if there are specific services you&#8217;d like to see supported)</li>
<li>You&#8217;re no longer limited to 140 characters when writing your bio, so go nuts and tell everyone your life story!</li>
<li>That old profile editor of ours was way too ugly and hard to use, so we&#8217;ve made it easier to use and to see what&#8217;s going on (and to add more options, such as&#8230;)</li>
<li>Custom Backgrounds! Upload any image or pick any color and set it as the background for your public profile page. Here&#8217;s mine with some freshly-cut grass as the background:</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://gravatar.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/beau-lebens-san-francisco-ca-gravatar-profile-1.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-205  aligncenter" title="Gravatar Profile with custom background" src="http://gravatar.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/beau-lebens-san-francisco-ca-gravatar-profile-1.png?w=300&#038;h=215" alt="" width="300" height="215" /></a></p>
<p>As always, if you don&#8217;t want any of your information to be public, then please just log into your account and go to &#8220;<a href="http://gravatar.com/profiles/edit/">Edit My Profile</a>&#8221; to remove those details. People will then only be able to see your Gravatar image, just like before. We&#8217;re working on some really cool new things around profiles, and will get them out the door as soon as they&#8217;re available!</p>
<p>Developers; get your developer hats on because there are some especially cool things coming for you soon <img src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>

If that check fails then it includes index.php in your permalink structure in order to make sure that WordPress still gets a chance to process URLs.</p>
<p>Servers using Nginx are able to do URL rewriting, but the check still fails, leaving index.php in the permalink.  Fortunately a few lines of PHP in a plugin (I like to put it in wp-content/mu-plugins/nginx.php) can fix that:</p>

add_filter( 'got_rewrite', 'nginx_has_rewrite', 999 );
function nginx_has_rewrite( $got_rewrite ) {
    return TRUE;
}
</pre>
<p>Those few lines of PHP will tell WordPress that full URL rewriting is available on the server, so no more index.php in the permalink structure.</p>
<p>Before adding this make sure that you&#8217;ve already setup URL rewriting in your Nginx configuration.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> In the <a href="http://josephscott.org/archives/2010/06/wordpress-pretty-permalinks-with-nginx/#comment-33849">comments Sivel mentioned another alternative</a>:</p>
<pre class="brush: php;">
add_filter( 'got_rewrite', '__return_true', 999 );
</pre>
<p>The <code>__return_true</code> function was added during WP 3.0 development for exactly these sorts of things, where you want to just return TRUE for a filter.  I like it.</p>

In the past, Josh used <a href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/DasBlogML">DasBlogML</a> and he migrated  it to WordPress quite easily. On the show, Josh shared with us many of the  projects and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress/">contributions</a> Microsoft is making to the WordPress community.  Among those plugins created by the Microsoft  team is <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/windows-azure-storage/">Windows  Azure Storage for WordPress</a> with is similar to Amazon Web Services or  Rackspace Cloudfiles. Among the more interesting was learning how WordPress can  be run using <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress/#tabs-2">Microsoft  SQL Serve</a>r for the database store as shown on sites like <a href="http://oddlyspecific.com/">oddlyspecific.com</a> for example with <a href="http://ruslany.net/2010/03/make-wordpress-faster-on-iis-with-wincache-1-1/">performance</a> <a href="http://blogs.iis.net/ksingla/archive/2010/05/27/wordpress-widget-to-show-wincache-statistics.aspx">enhancements</a>.  Josh also highlighted some of the steps Microsoft is taking to make deployment  of their technologies easier using the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx">Microsoft Web  Platform</a>, which is quite a solid offering.</p>

<p>Ms. Bates, your carefully chosen words say volumes.</p>
<p>Not to confuse people with the facts, but not only does Twitter Tools give you fine grain control over your decision to send (or not send) <em>each post</em> to Twitter, it even has a feature that prevents posts from being tweeted if they were published before you installed Twitter Tools. Could there be a bug? Sure (though it&#8217;s unlikely that I wouldn&#8217;t have heard about it before now), but that&#8217;s not really the point is it?</p>
<p>The &#8220;don&#8217;t tweet old posts&#8221; feature was <a href="http://alexking.org/blog/2008/04/13/twitter-tools-12b1">added in version 1.2b1 back in 2008</a>. It was added solely because people requested it; it certainly wasn&#8217;t something I needed &#8211; just trying to make things better for the WordPress community.</p>
<p>Of course for every group of people you satisfy by adding a feature, you&#8217;ll have an equal number of people requesting the opposite:</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/395610"><img src="http://alexking.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Picture-5-300x95.png" alt="Can&#039;t make everyone happy" title="Can&#039;t make everyone happy" width="300" height="95" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4382" /></a></p>
<p>The joys of building software and giving it away for free.</p>
<hr />
<p>The irony of course is that I was getting set to start coding on a rewrite of Twitter Tools this evening (since there is a <a href="http://countdowntooauth.com/" rel="external">deadline looming</a>), but comments like the ones above really take the wind out of my sails.</p>
<p>The combination of an evolving set of best-practices in WordPress core and extremely high expectations from the WordPress user community has plugin developers in a tough spot these days.</p>
<p>I hired someone this summer for the sole purpose of updating all of our publicly released plugins/themes from the best practices of the time to the best practices in WP 3.0 (along with a few added features, bug fixes and enhancements). That&#8217;s the entire job. I expect it to take about 4-6 months to update the ~30 plugins/themes in question.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s an expense I decided we should take on for the good of the community. The cost of the developer&#8217;s salary alone is <em>way</em> more than the total donations received on all of the plugins (over a 5-6 year period) &#8211; not to mention the time spent creating them in the first place, updating them, etc.</p>
<p>There are many things in the WordPress community that are great. There are also many things that need to continue to evolve and improve.</p>
<p>Enough ranting, I&#8217;ll go back to working on something more productive&#8230;</p>

<p>Previously, a few very helpful volunteers made sure that the Gravatar website was available in 14 different languages. There are now more strings to translate than ever (469 per language actually!), and so we&#8217;ve spent some time trying to make things easier to work with. Our buddies over at <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a> are hosting a <a href="http://glotpress.org/">GlotPress</a> installation for us that will allow you all to contribute to the translation process online, with nothing but a web browser. All you need to do to get started is head over to <strong><a href="http://translate.wordpress.com/projects/gravatar">the Gravatar project</a></strong>, log in using your WordPress.com/Gravatar account and start translating strings!</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve imported all previous translations to get things started, and you&#8217;ll find some nifty tools in GlotPress, including the ability to use Google Translate for a bit of a head start. Strings are also prioritized according to where they appear within the website (so that we get the most important ones translated first). If you&#8217;d like to work on a language that isn&#8217;t currently listed, please let us know via an email to support [at] gravatar.com and we&#8217;ll get things set up for you.</p>
<p>Once each translation gets near completion, we&#8217;ll get it online so that everyone can benefit from seeing the Gravatar.com website in their native language.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re really looking forward to making Gravatar even more global than ever with your help!</p>

Later that same day, the <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2010/05/wordpress-3-0-release-candidate/">first release candidate release of WordPress 3.0</a> was delivered to the world, complete with lots of updates, fixes, and yes, new features.</p>
<p>WordPress 3.0 brings some changes. Multisite installations of WordPress now come from the same download, a handful of alterations have been made behind the scenes, and a brand new interface for creating navigation menus is coming.</p>
<p>With these updates in mind, we&#8217;re bringing you a pair of videos today from the most recent <a href="http://www.meetup.com/wordpressnyc/">WordPress NYC Meetup</a>, which was titled &#8220;WordPress 3.0: What You Need to Know.&#8221; The first video is a <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/28/steve-bruner-wordpress-3-0-and-twenty-ten-customization-techniques/">presentation by Steve Bruner</a> on some of the new methods of customizing WordPress in 3.0, including custom post types and menu management, and <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/31/boone-gorges-wordpress-3-multisite/">the second is from Boone Gorges</a>, demonstrating the new built-in multi-site ability.</p>
<p>WordPress 3.0 is just around the corner, and this is a perfect opportunity to create and submit a tutorial for publication on WordPress.tv! WordPress users will be looking for help with these new features. You might be the teacher they need to advance their knowledge of their favorite publishing platform. Have you been working with the beta versions of WordPress 3.0? Are you a developer, designer, or power user? We feature great tutorials from WordPress users around the world on WordPress.tv, and you too can be a WordPress.tv Producer.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve created a video tutorial that you&#8217;d like to see published on WordPress.tv, <a href="http://wordpress.tv/contact/">please drop us an email</a> and let us know what you&#8217;ve made. We&#8217;ll be happy to take a look at it and follow up with you for more information.</p>
<p>And share the word! If you see a tutorial on WordPress.tv that you think would be useful for your friends or blog readers, feel free to grab the embed code from the video and embed the video on your own blog!</p>

I realize we just had a release post a couple of days ago but a few great themes popped up in our forums so I thought I would bring them to your attention right away.</p>
<h4><a title="Clean Green: www.dynamicwp.net" href="http://www.dynamicwp.net/free-themes/clean-green-theme/">Clean Green</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/CleanGreen.png" alt="" title="CleanGreen" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8131" /></p>
<p>The folks at DynamicWP have been turning out some fantastic themes as of late and their latest offering Clean Green is no different. As the name implies, green is the dominant colour of this theme. The various shades of green used in this theme go well together. Clean Green comes with a widgetized right sidebar and a widgetized 3 column footer. Flickr and Twitter streams are built-in and appear as widgets on the widget screen. From the theme&#8217;s options page you can use a custom logo, a custom Gravatar and exclude both pages and categories from the horizontal navigation menu. From there you can also insert your Twitter, RSS and E-mail feed link among other things.</p>
<h4><a href="http://empirethemes.com/cumulus-a-portfolio-theme/" title="Cumulus: empirethemes.com">Cumulus</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/cumulus.png" alt="" title="cumulus" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8132" /></p>
<p>Empire Themes (formerly known as refueled) has cranked up their theme design a notch or two and have been busy turning out some excellent themes. One of the first themes I ever used years ago was a design called Ad Clerum by refueled so I am very familiar with their work.</p>
<p>Cumulus is their latest release and is perfect for use as a portfolio theme. Setting up the theme is quite easy. Simply create a new Page called &#8220;Portfolio&#8221; and use the accompanying Portfolio Page Template. Then create a new category also called &#8220;Portfolio&#8221;. Now, when adding a new post you will see a new form field under the write post box called Portfolio Post: Image Location where you add the URL of the image you want to include. It also comes with its own options page. Coming soon is a matching bbPress theme.</p>
<h4><a href="http://paycheckworld.com/fantastic-dream/" title="Fantastic Dream: paycheckworld.com">Fantastic Dream</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fantastic-dream.png" alt="" title="fantastic-dream" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8133" /></p>
<p>Fantastic Dream is a light coloured theme with a widgetized right sidebar and built-in tabber powered by jQuery. From the theme&#8217;s options page you can easily change the header image.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.polaraul.com/2010/05/simplicity-reloaded-theme/" title="Simplicity Reloaded: www.polaraul.com">Simplicity Reloaded</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/simplicityreloaded.png" alt="" title="simplicityreloaded" width="200" height="150" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8134" /></p>
<p>Simplicity Reloaded is a simple yet elegant looking theme. It features built-in breadcrumb navigation and social bookmarking functions.</p>

Let&#8217;s get right to it.</p>
<h4><a title="Voidy: www.diovo.com" href="http://www.diovo.com/links/voidy/">Voidy</a></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8119" title="voidy" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/voidy.png" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></p>
<p>Voidy comes to us from Niyaz of Diovo.com and sports a crisp and clean minimalistic design. That combined with the large typeface makes it easy to concentrate on the content. From the theme&#8217;s options page you can set a custom logo, include a Twitter link and offer an email subscription via Feedburner. You can also select some custom text to display in the sidebar.</p>
<h4><a title="Paino: www.polaraul.com" href="http://www.polaraul.com/2010/05/paino-theme/">Paino</a></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8120" title="painoTheme" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/painoTheme.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="186" /></p>
<p>Polaraul.com brings us Paino, a simple and generic theme featuring a widgetized left sidebar and dressed in an easy-on-the-eyes pastel colour palette. It has breadcrumb navigation built-in.</p>
<h4><a title="Clean Simple White: wordpress.org" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/clean-simple-white">Clean Simple White</a></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8121" title="clean-simple-white" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/clean-simple-white.png" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></p>
<p>Another simple and clean-looking design. The use of blue for hyperlinks fits in nicely with the general appearance of this theme. It features a widgetized right sidebar as well as a widgetized 3 column footer. From the options page you can set a custom favicon as well as set up the latest Tweet widget.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/calotropis" title="Calotropis: wordpress.org">Calotropis</a></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8122" title="calotropis" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/calotropis.png" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></p>
<p>This is a theme that comes packed with all sorts of goodies. From the theme&#8217;s options page you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>choose to display right sidebar, left sidebar, sidebars on either side of the main content or no sidebar at all</li>
<li>select magazine-type layout or traditional blog layout</li>
<li>pick one of 5 colour schemes</li>
<li>adjust the width of the sidebar and wrapper</li>
<li>select a custom header and background</li>
<li>decide how to display the horizontal navigation menu</li>
<li>even decide how many words to display when using excerpts</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s not all. You can opt to include links to Twitter, Facebook and Plurk.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sat, 29 May 2010 15:50:54 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:11:"Len Kutchma";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:38;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

Take a look at some of their <a href="http://animoto.com/showcase">sample videos</a> to see what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>I just found out today that Animoto have added Gravatar support, so now when you leave comments on a video over there, you&#8217;ll see something like this:</p>

<p>I did a lot of manual cleaning of my database to get rid of orphaned tables that had been in the database since the day I first set up a WordPress based website.</p>
<p>The majority of these defunct tables were from either themes or plugins that I had used at different points in the life of <a href="http://www.windowsobserver.com/">WindowsObserver.com</a>.&#160; As you all know you try out a lot of stuff on your site – mine had 3 years worth of it in there!</p>
<p>Of course I had uninstalled the theme or plugin but a majority of these do not remove the information they leave in your database.&#160; </p>
<p>Now I am not a developer and I have never claimed to be one nor will I.&#160; However, I do believe this is a situation that can be resolved.</p>
<p>You see there are quite a few plugins and themes in the WordPress repository that already have this feature built in and I have used a few.</p>
<p>For example – the <a href="http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-dbmanager">WP-DBManager plugin by Lester Chan</a> does this.</p>
<p><a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/wpdbmanageruninstall.png" rel="thumbnail"><img title="wpdbmanageruninstall" border="0" alt="wpdbmanageruninstall" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/wpdbmanageruninstall_thumb.png" width="244" height="127" /></a>&#160; </p>
<p>This is the uninstall page for the WP-DBManager and as you can see it will remove database information if you opt to <em>uninstall</em> the plugin.&#160; If your just deactivating it or lets say upgrading it then the options in the database will remain intact.</p>
<p>If this can be done then why not across the board. Why not make this a standard for inclusion in the WordPress Extend site?&#160; If your plugin or theme deposits information into a users database then provide an uninstall option to remove that data/tables.</p>
<p>What do you all think about this? Would really like to hear your thoughts of whether I missing something on this being doable?</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 28 May 2010 17:24:06 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:11:"Richard Hay";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:42;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

What&#8217;s an RC? An RC comes after beta and before the final launch. It means we think we&#8217;ve got everything done: all features finished, all bugs squashed, and all potential issues addressed. But, then, with over 20 million people using WordPress with a wide variety of configurations and hosting setups, it&#8217;s entirely possible that we&#8217;ve missed something. So! For the brave of heart, please download the RC and test it out (but not on your live site unless you&#8217;re extra adventurous). Some things to know:</p>
<ul>
<li>Custom menus are finished! Yay!</li>
<li>Multi-site is all set.</li>
<li>The look of the WordPress admin has been lightened up a little bit, so you can focus more on your content.</li>
<li>There are a ton of changes, so plugin authors, please test your plugins <strong>now</strong>, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release.</li>
<li>Plugin and theme *users* are also encouraged to test things out. If you find problems, let your plugin/theme authors know so they can figure out the cause.</li>
<li>There are a couple of <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/feed/ http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5">known issues</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are testing the RC and come across a bug, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Report it on the <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">wp-testers mailing list</a></li>
<li>Join the dev chat and tell us live at irc.freenode.net #wordpress-dev</li>
<li>File a bug ticket on the <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&amp;status=assigned&amp;status=reviewing&amp;status=new&amp;status=accepted&amp;group=status&amp;milestone=3.0">WordPress Trac </a></li>
</ul>
<p>We hope you enjoy playing with the 3.0 RC as much as we&#8217;ve enjoyed making it for you. Enjoy!</p>

(As a side note, if the common perception is that a market is finished and that everything interesting has been done already, it&#8217;s probably a really good time to enter it.)</p>
<p>The growth over the past year has blown me away. Since our last birthday we&#8217;ve doubled theme downloads to over 10 million, and doubled plugin downloads to 60 million. Most importantly, we continued to grow the development community to 1,528 people active on Trac and 13 committers, both numbers the highest in the history of WordPress.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s 1,528 people pouring their hearts and souls into GPL software we all own, we all build on, we can use as we please, we can all make better. We&#8217;ve evolved from a simple script to a web platform.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re on the cusp of version 3.0, with a release candidate coming out any minute now.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to celebrate WordPress&#8217;s birthday with us &#8212; tell a friend! Help them upgrade their blog or find the perfect theme. Talk about how WordPress is built by and for a community. Drop in to help test 3.0, including all the plugins you use. Write something to take advantage of the new 3.0 features, or teach your friends how to. If you buy any themes or plugins, make sure they&#8217;re GPL or compatible just like WordPress. We&#8217;ve got a long road ahead of us, it&#8217;s important that we not forget that Open Source got us this far, and is the only way we&#8217;re going to get to the next level. The whole of what we can build together is far greater than the sum of our parts.
