  • Hello, Ziggy

    Hello, Ziggy

    I’ve had this plugin installed on a number of my sites for a while now. It’s not much, in fact, it was my very first plugin, ever. I finally decided to upload it to the WordPress.org repository. I’m talking, of course, of my Hello Dolly fork, Hello Ziggy. All it does is adds a bit of…

  • WordPress and the GPL, round two

    This seems to happen every couple years. Something will come up, and suddenly the WordPress blogosphere is suddenly all a-Twitter (pun intended) about GPL-related issues. This time around, though, it isn’t an outright disregard for or ambivalence toward WordPress and the GPL, there are actual, seemingly good intentions involved, and unwilling participants caught in the crossfire, which…

  • My first course on Pluralsight

    It’s happened. And it was much more work than I had originally anticipated. Much listening to (and cringing at) myself talk and trying to edit out all the “uh”s and “um”s (or as many as I could manage). Content wasn’t an issue, it was a matter of organizing the content into a structure and providing…

    The agony and the ecstasy of Automattic’s Jetpack

    In a discussion on Twitter with the Internet’s @SiobhanPMcKeown (if you don’t know who Siobhan is, you don’t read many WordPress blogs) & @Krogsgard about WordPress themes with lots of options, I mentioned that I’ve been thinking about ways to justify removing options from Museum Core in favor of using plugins to accomplish those same things.  Case…

  • Building plugin-like functionality into WordPress themes: to be, or not to be?

    Building plugin-like functionality into WordPress themes: to be, or not to be?

    There’s been a lot of talk in the WordPress world about whether or not theme developers should build plugin-like functionality into WordPress themes.  After my presentation at WordCamp SLC 2012, it was actually something I was asked about.  Seeing how it was a topic of discussion on wpmail.me via ManageWP, I thought I’d throw my 2…

  • Upgrade WordPress via SSH

    I’ve had a helluva time on this blog with updates.  I don’t know what I’m doing differently with this site than others… I have many sites hosted by HostingMatters,  all of them I’ve tweaked the wp-config.php file and only this domain is the one that has issues upgrading — for plugins it’s not a big…

  • One theme to rule them all

Museum Core is the product of over a year of development.  A solid foundation built on responsive design, HTML5 and CSS3, with a theme options page that… (read…
