  • Jaded

    Mark’s blog (my blogging buddy for postaday/postaweek) got over 1,000 pageviews on his blogging buddy post which was featured on Freshly Pressed (the front page of WordPress.com). I’d like to be excited for him, but having seen this sort of meteoric rise in traffic on a single post in the past (one that’s actually not…

  • WordPress isn’t a commercial success…wait, what?

    Read this.  Then come back.  It’s okay, I’ll wait. WordPress.com Blogs Garnered 23 Billion Pageviews in 2010 It’s the last paragraph the bugs me. The five-year-old company may be experiencing remarkable growth, but it has yet to become a commercial success. The startup reportedly makes around $1 million per month from premium and hosting services,…

  • Daily Post…well, not really…

    In an effort to get more people blogging more frequently, our pals at WordPress have launched a new campaign called DailyPost.  The challenge is simple, post every day (or at least once a week) in 2011.  Because I like torturing myself with ridiculous rules and projects, I am hereby signing up.  However, I’m not even…

  • How I fixed the “cannot redeclare _checkactive_widgets()” error in WordPress child themes

    So, I had a problem.  For a while I’ve noticed a whole bunch of code being tacked on to my functions.php file.  I’ve had no idea where it came from since I certainly didn’t write it, so I generally just removed it when I saw it.  Then I noticed this weird php error when I… (read…

    Wherein I reveal that I’m actually a big fat liar

    For a long time I’ve told people “I’m not really a coder.  I hate programming.”  It’s true that when I took Assembly Language and C++ in college, I barely scraped by and mostly hated every minute.  The only part I didn’t hate, in fact, was when I finally wrote something that worked, and this was…

  • WordCamp Utah 2010 — a belated recap

    WordCamp Utah 2010 — a belated recap

    One of the things I heard at WordCamp Utah was that it’s not what you learn at WordCamp as much as the research and stuff you learn once you get home and start trying all this stuff out.  In that sense, I don’t think I actually left WordCamp at approximately 5:30 Saturday evening a few…

  • Indian Flowers

    This theme, inspired by vintage Indian batiks and tapestries, exudes grace and sophistication.  6 color palettes are available so you can choose the one to fit your mood, office or season.  Built into the theme are our normal treasure trove of customized social networking icons, automagic Twitter hovercards for @usernames and configurable tweet displays, and… (read…

    Our themes are released under the GPL.  That means that you are free to take them, change them, and even redistribute them under the terms of the GNU Public Licence.  We’ve seen what a couple of you have done with our themes and we couldn’t be happier to see you taking our code and bending… (read…

    One of the coolest new features of WordPress 3.0 is the ability to customize the site header image and background color or image.
