You’ll also find slideshows of presentations made by WordPress gurus, plus interviews I’ve done with the media and fellow bloggers.

Everyone knows by now that WordPress 2.7 is packed with new features. Now that it’s available (almost 600,000 downloads as I write this!), it’s time to start working on 2.8. There were dozens of things that got tabled during 2.7 due to time constraints, and there are a lot of high-rated features in the Ideas forum, so there are a lot of potential features under consideration.

\n

Right now, the lead developers are thinking the top priorities for 2.8 will be widget management, theme browser/installer and performance upgrades. The rest of the development time will be taken up with bug tickets and additional features/enhancements from a prioritized list. To that end, we’ve posted a new survey for you to help us prioritize features for 2.8. The list pulls from the developers’ “2.7 leftovers” list as well as the most popular features from the Ideas forum. Just rank each feature and tell us your top pick (up to three). You also have the option of adding comments or additional suggestions, but this is not mandatory. For your response to count, you must rank all of the features in the list. The survey has only one page.

\n

Note that media features are not included in this list as we will be posting a separate survey for media-specific features soon.

\n

Cast your votes any time this week, but as always the sooner the better. This survey will close at noon on December 31, 2008 UTC.

\n

In the new year, we will be reviving scheduled IRC developer chats, where the lead developers will discuss the week’s progress on feature development, providing opportunities for people to ask questions or make suggestions. These will be held early in the day on Wednesdays (U.S. Wednesday), and the specific time will be posted here on the development blog once it’s been finalized.

As a related aside, we spent a significant amount of time during 2.7 development sifting through Trac tickets that really shouldn’t have been there. Feature ideas and requests do not belong in Trac, they belong in the Ideas forum. Please reserve Trac for reporting bugs and things that need fixing (typos, code enhancements, etc.). If you are asking for a new UI, a new feature, or a new approach to coding something, that’s not an enhancement, it’s a new feature. New features will be entered into Trac by developers once it has been determined that the feature should be included in core. To help speed up development, moving forward we will close Trac tickets that are actually feature requests, with the comment that they should be posted in the Ideas forum instead. Please help the developers maximize their time by following this guideline.

Everyone knows by now that WordPress 2.7 is packed with new features. Now that it’s available (almost 600,000 downloads as I write this!), it’s time to start working on 2.8. There were dozens of things that got tabled during 2.7 due to time constraints, and there are a lot of high-rated features in the Ideas forum, so there are a lot of potential features under consideration.

\n

Right now, the lead developers are thinking the top priorities for 2.8 will be widget management, theme browser/installer and performance upgrades. The rest of the development time will be taken up with bug tickets and additional features/enhancements from a prioritized list. To that end, we’ve posted a new survey for you to help us prioritize features for 2.8. The list pulls from the developers’ “2.7 leftovers” list as well as the most popular features from the Ideas forum. Just rank each feature and tell us your top pick (up to three). You also have the option of adding comments or additional suggestions, but this is not mandatory. For your response to count, you must rank all of the features in the list. The survey has only one page.

\n

Note that media features are not included in this list as we will be posting a separate survey for media-specific features soon.

\n

Cast your votes any time this week, but as always the sooner the better. This survey will close at noon on December 31, 2008 UTC.

\n

In the new year, we will be reviving scheduled IRC developer chats, where the lead developers will discuss the week’s progress on feature development, providing opportunities for people to ask questions or make suggestions. These will be held early in the day on Wednesdays (U.S. Wednesday), and the specific time will be posted here on the development blog once it’s been finalized.

The first thing you’ll notice about 2.7 is its new interface. From the top down, we’ve listened to your feedback and thought deeply about the design and the result is a WordPress that’s just plain faster. Nearly every task you do on your blog will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.7 than it did in a previous version. (Download it now, or read on for more.)

\n

Next you’ll begin to notice the new features subtly sprinkled through the new interface: the new dashboard that you can arrange with drag and drop to put the things most important to you on top, QuickPress, comment threading, paging, and the ability to reply to comments from your dashboard, the ability to install any plugin directly from WordPress.org with a single click, and sticky posts.

\n

Digging in further you might notice that every screen is customizable. Let’s say you never care about author on your post listings — just click “Screen Options” and uncheck it and it’s instantly gone from the page. The same for any module on the dashboard or write screen. If your screen is narrow and the menu is taking up too much horizontal room, click the arrow to minimize it to be icon-only, and then go to the write page and drag and drop everything from the right column into the main one, so your posting area is full-screen. (For example I like hiding everything except categories, tags, and publish. I put categories and tags on the right, and publish under the post box.)

\n

For a visual introduction to what 2.7 is, check out this video (available in HD, and full screen):

\n

\n

It’s all about you. It’s the next generation of WordPress, which is why we’ve bestowed it with the honor of being named for John Coltrane. And you can download it today.

\n

Last, but certainly not least, this may be the last time you ever have to manually upgrade WordPress again. We heard how tired you were of doing upgrades for yourself and your friends, so now WordPress includes a built-in upgrade that will automatically notify you of new releases, and when you’re ready it will download them, install them, and upgrade your blog with a single click.

\n

(As with any interface change it may take a little bit of time to acclimate yourself but soon you’ll find yourself whizzing through the screens. Even people who have hated it at first tell us after a few days they wonder how they got by before.)

\n

The Story Behind 2.7

\n

The real reason Coltrane is such a huge leap forward is because the community was so involved with every step of the process. Over 150 people contributed code directly to the release, our highest ever, with many tens of thousands more participating in the polls, surveys, tests, mailing lists, and other feedback mechanisms the WordPress dev team used in putting this release together.

\n

For some of the back story in the development of 2.7, check out these blog posts (thanks to WeblogToolsCollection for the list):

\n\n

This was interesting to us, a blogging software release we actually blogged about, but the process was hugely informative. Prior to its release today Crazyhorse and 2.7 had been tested by tens of thousands of people on their blogs, hundreds of thousands of you count .com. The volume of feedback was so high that we decided to push back the release date a month to take time to incorporate it all and do more revisions based on what you guys said.

\n

For those of you wondering why we didn’t call this release 3.0, it’s because we abhor version number inflation. 3.0 will just be the next release after 2.9. The major features in new point releases approach also works well for products like OS X, with huge changes between a 10.3 and 10.4.

\n

The Future

\n

Those of you following along at home might have noticed this was our second major redesign of WordPress this year. Whoa nelly! While that wasn’t ideal, and I especially sympathize with those of you creating books or tutorials around WordPress, there’s good news. The changes to WordPress in 2.5 and 2.7 were necessary for us to break free of much of the legacy cruft and interface bloat that had built up over the years (gradually) and more importantly provide us with a UI framework and interface language we can use at the foundation to build tomorrow’s WordPress on, to express ideas we haven’t been able to before. So at the end of 2009 I expect, interface-wise, WordPress to look largely the same as it does now.

\n

That said, we couldn’t be more excited about the future with regards to features. Now that we’ve cleared out more basic things, we are looking forward in the coming year to really tackling media handling including audio and video, better tools for plugin and theme developers, widgets, theme updates, more integrated and contextual help, and easier integration with projects like BuddyPress and bbPress.

\"\"The community has voted, and the votes have been tallied. The winner of Project Icon, with 35% of the votes, is Entry ID “BD,” otherwise known as Ben Dunkle. Congratulations, Ben! The runner-up was VS, otherwise known as Verena Segert, so we’ll be attaching that set to the alternate color palette that is selectable from the profile screen. As we prepare for RC1, Ben and Verena will be revising a couple of their icons so that both sets will use the same metaphors, creating the colored “on” states, and creating the larger size of each icon for use in the h2 screen headers. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to select from so many great options, and would like to express again our appreciation for all the designers who participated in the contest. Thanks also to the more than 3700 people who completed the voting survey and took the time to weigh on on the individual icon sets.

Q.18 Which one of the sets do you think we should use as a basis for the 2.7 icons?
Icon Set# of votes% of votes
BD128535%
VS108029%
GB242411%

\n

The wide lead of BD and VS made it clear that voters had a clear preference for these sets.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Q.20 If you could choose a runner-up, which would you choose?
Icon Set# of votes% of votes

\n

Question 20 was not mandatory, so a few hundred people skipped it, but the responses we did get (3366 of them) reinforced the fact that the two most popular sets were also the most popular 2nd choices, which made the decision of the judges to go with the popular vote an easy one (take that, electoral college!).

\n

A few of the individual icon metaphors also had a significant lead over the other choices.
\nDashboard: 1333 voters (40%) chose a house as the best metaphor. We agree, so both Ben and Verena will be replacing their Dashboard icons.

\n

Media: 2097 voters (65%) chose the combination camera + musical note icon, which was part of Ben’s set. We also really loved it, and Verena will amend her media icon to incorporate this idea.

\n

Plugins: 1682 voters (53%) selected the outlet plug metaphor, which both Ben and Verena used in their sets.

\n

Tools: 1581 voters (49%) liked the combination of two tools better than anything else, so Ben and Verena will try this approach.

\n

So those are the results, and soon you’ll see the new icons coming to a 2.7 installation near you.

\n

Need another look at the entries to remember which one you liked best? Here are some reminder images, as well as the identity of each set’s creator.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"WinningBD was Ben Dunkle, a designer, professor and artist from upstate/western New York State. In case you’ve already forgotten, Ben’s icon set is the winner of Project Icon and will become the default icon set after a few minor changes.\"VerenaVS was Verena Segert, our runner-up, a designer from Germany who presented sets in both grayscale and blue. Her blue icons received more specific voter comments than the gray ones, so we’re planning the second color palette to be in shades of blue so that we can use the blue icon set.
\"Guillaume\"GuillaumeGB was Guillaume Berry, a designer from France who submitted two sets in the same style in order to propose a couple of different metaphors. One of his sets came in third while the other came in last, but whether you only look at the higher scoring set or you combine their votes, Guillaume had the next highest percentage of votes, and many people liked the metaphors he used for various icons. In fact, given the enthusiasm of the community for Guillaume’s icons, we think a great plugin would be one that would allow the user to upload the icon set of their choice. Any volunteers?
\"MenuOSD was the Open Source Design class at Parson’s in New york City, taught by Mushon Zer-Aviv and consisting of students Alexandra Zsigmond, Ed Nacional, Karen Messing, Khurram Bajwa, Leonie Leibenfrost. Teacher and students worked together to determine their metaphors and visual style.\"LukeLS was Luke Smith, a designer from Iowa who specializes in icons among his other design pursuits.
\n

If you need to hire an icon designer any time soon, we highly recommend our Project Icon contestants, who all delivered great work in a very short timeframe. It was great to work with all of them, even for such a short assignment.

\n

So, to sum up:

\n
    \n
  1. The winning icon sets by Ben Dunkle and Verena Segert will be incorporated into WordPress 2.7 RC1.
  2. \n
  3. Someone should write a plugin that would allow anyone to upload a custom icon set (I bet the other contestants could be convinced to release their icon sets for such a purpose).
  4. \n
  5. 2.7 is still trucking away, but we can always use help with patches, especially for IE6! (I know, that wasn’t in the main post, but it’s true, so hmph)
  6. \n
\n

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this experiment, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. And congratulations again to Ben and Verena!

Earlier in the beta period, we put out a call here on the development blog for designers in the WordPress community who might be interested in designing custom icons for the 2.7 admin interface. Over a dozen icon designers from around the world responded, so rather than choose just one, we decided to turn the icon design assignment into a contest so that more people could participate and the community could have a vote in what the new icons should look like.

\n

Once we decided to go with a contest format instead of a single-designer gig, about half the original volunteers changed their minds. The remaining designers each submitted two icons (Posts, Links) in their proposed style. At this stage a couple of designers were thanked for their submissions but eliminated from the competition because their icons were considered too far afield from the WordPress visual style. The remaining designers were given feedback on the icons they had submitted and given about a week to complete the icon set for the menu as well as the list/excerpt icons that are shown on the Edit Posts screen. All but one of these designers finished a complete set, giving us five sets in total.

\n

So now we need to choose a direction. For each of the icon sets, we’ll show you the set itself, the designer’s introduction, and some feedback from the lead developers. After you’ve reviewed all five, place your vote for the set you think has the visual style that is the most suitable for WordPress 2.7. This will be followed by additional votes on specific icons, so if you like the specific image used in one set but like the style of another, you can vote to change the metaphor for a given icon. You’ll also be able to leave general feedback throughout the voting process. When voting has concluded, we’ll review the comments and the votes, and will declare a winner.

\n

Things to bear in mind when making your selections:
\nA week is not a long time to create 13 icons. The winning set will undergo a revision to be refined, and some icons may be substituted. We asked for all icons in grayscale for the contest. An “on” state and a larger size for screen headers will be designed by the winner. It seemed like too much work to have everyone do multiple states for so many icons.

\n

Ready? Go and take the icon survey. (The survey has now been closed.) Voting will remain open for 48 hours from the time of this post to allow people from all time zones a chance to participate before we close the survey and make a decision (since we’d like to include the new icons in Beta 3).

\n

A Note Regarding the 2.7 Release Date:
\nAs we approach Beta 3, bug tickets continue to be added to Trac, the pain of making things look good in IE6 continues to be felt, and the need to improve accessibility looms. If you love WordPress, are a decent coder, and want to contribute like these icon designers contributed, please consider contributing a patch to help with one of these efforts. Jump right in on current Trac tickets, or pop into the #wordpress-dev IRC channel to ask what to do.

I’m very pleased to see that WordCamp Denver is filling up quickly. We had 200 spots to start and already over half of those are gone (list of attendees) with nearly a month to go before the event (Feb 28th).

\n

I recommend signing up ASAP if you’re interested in attending Denver’s first WordCamp. Once you sign up you’ll get official updates and notifications about the event and if you sign up in the next week, we’ll be able to guarantee your t-shirt size.1

\n

We’re looking at the possibility of expanding the event to allow more than 200 people to attend and are hopeful we’ll be able to do so. In order to make arrangements for more people, we need to get a good idea of how many people will be coming so please sign up soon if you’re planning to attend; and we’ll increase capacity as best we can.

\n

Take a look at the WordCamp Denver web site for an updated (though still fluid) schedule and speaker list. For folks coming in from out of town, there are lodging recommendations at the bottom of this page.

\n

We still have some sponsorship opportunities available as well, if you or your organization would like to help sponsor the event.

2.7.1, the first 2.7 maintenance release, is almost ready.  So far, 66 tickets are fixed in 2.7.1.  There are another 50 tickets open against the 2.7.1 milestone, but most of those will be moved to 2.7.2 or 2.8.  If there are tickets in that list you would really like to see fixed in 2.7.1, drop a comment.

\n

To automatically upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1 Beta 1, change the version in your wp-includes/version.php file from 2.7 to 2.7.1-beta and then visit Tools->Upgrade.  Otherwise, download the beta package and install manually.

There hasn’t been an official announcement yet, but I noticed that SVN was tagged with WordPress 2.7.1-beta1 the other day. Though there have been many patches in the 2.7 branch since the last release, most of what I’ve seen appears to be pretty minor bugfixes (though one patch jumps out at me). You can peruse the list of changes since 2.7 yourself.

\n

I’m sure it won’t be too long before we hear something more official.

The man, the myth, the legend, Ajay D’Souza not only brings you news of the latest WordPress plugins and themes to hit the community but he also has a few plugins under his belt. Today, I’ll be reviewing one of those plugins called Autoclose

\n

Autoclose enables a granular approach to managing pingbacks/comments/trackbacks on both posts and pages. Some of the highlights that the plugin features:

\n\n

\"\"

\n

So why would you want to use a plugin like this? For starters, based on my experience with blogging, the conversation on any particular blog post usually only lasts 24-72 hours after it has been published. Rarely do I see an onslaught of comments after a period of seven days have gone by. I know that here on WeblogToolsCollection.com, we receive comments on articles that were published around 2005! But in a normal scenario, you could probably get by with auto closing comments 30 days after the post was published.

\n

A side benefit to auto closing the comment form on old blog posts is that it helps to combat spam. If you have ever configured the Akismet plugin, you may have noticed an additional option that enables the plugin to automatically disregard comments registered as spam on blog posts that are older than a month. This nifty feature has really limited the time I need to spend in my moderation queue as most of the spam comments I receive are for posts that are deep within my archive. Ajay’s Autoclose plugin conveniently takes this ability to close commenting on posts/pages to the next level.

\n

And just in case you were wondering, the plugin works just fine on WordPress 2.7. If you’re already using the Autoclose plugin, leave us a comment and tell us how you’ve used it on your blog!

Episode 40 of WordPress Weekly discussed a wide range of topics from the release of WordPress MU 2.7 to the All In One SEO Plugin reaching one million downloads. Also sad to say that this was Keith Murray’s last episode as co-host. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

\n

Special Announcement:

\n

Kym Huynh co-host of the WordPress centric podcast, WordCast was in a terrible car accident. Kym was in the middle of a three week vacation celebrating his recent graduation from law school when he ended up in a bad car accident. Unfortunately, Kym suffered quite a few broken bones and now has a metal arm. Dave Moyer of DaveMoyer.org, producer of show published an email he received from Kym earlier today that can be read on the DaveMoyer.org website. I personally wish Kym a fast and speedy recovery. Please visit DaveMoyer.org to find out how to send your get well wishes to Kym.

\n

WordPress Tavern Listener Poll:

\n

Each week from now on, I’ll be featuring a new listener poll question on WPTavern.com The poll is located in the sidebar on the right hand side of the site.

\n

This weeks poll question was: Has the visual post editor ever made you angry?

\n

Out of a total of 22 votes, 20 of you said yes while only 2 of you voted no.

\n

Next Weeks Poll Question Is: Do you think configuration options need to be added to WordPress to configure Post Revisions?

\n

Plugin Picks Of The Week:
\nJeff - Revision Control - Revision control gives users control over post/page revisions. With it, you can choose a blog-global setting which is found in SETTINGS - REVISIONS in the WordPress administration panel for pages/posts to enable/disable or limit the number of revisions which are saved per post/page. This setting can even be controlled on an individual level since the revision control shows up as a meta box in the WordPress Write Panel.

\n

Keith - TweetSuite - TweetSuite is one of the most complete plugins available for Twitter-minded individuals. The tool allows for all the usual twitter features that we’ve come to expect (tweet my post, widget my tweets) but goes further: widget for favorite tweets, and most importantly TWEETBACKS. Becoming as important as trackbacks from other blogs are tweetbacks. When someone tweets your post with one of the major URL shortening services (tinyurl, is.gd etc) TweetSuite will find that tweet and add a tweetback to your post. Super cool. If you’re into twitter and have a blog, TweetSuite is a must-have.

Then Fail, Net Safety\";s:4:\"guid\";s:40:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=5087\";s:4:\"link\";s:87:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/01/31/et-tu-google-then-fail-net-safety/\";s:11:\"description\";s:6943:\"

I trust Google. I use GMail as my primary email address and store stuff in my mailbox that is of crucial importance to my existence as a citizen of this modern world. Over the past couple of months, Google’s Orkut has dealt a deadly blow to that trust that is making me rethink my allegiance towards anything Google.

\n

I am the owner of a midly popular community on Orkut with about 25k users. Since I was given the privilege of being a beta tester on Orkut, I had created a community called Calcutta many years ago and that community has since, taken on a life of its own. It is run by moderators who report to me and I log in every so often to perform maintenance and help the moderators out. My existence is not only a mystery to the members of the community, it is also the source of much speculation and conspiracy theories, which was fine and dandy.

\n

The Orkut application itself is full of holes and though Google seems to respond to major public reports of vulnerabilities, they keep coming back. Support for Orkut from Google is almost non-existent with what appears to be zero accountability. If one plows through the Google help sections to try and solicit help, they are either faced with a page not found or convoluted help screens that barely ever actually lead to a form to request support. Pleas for help and more often answered by the “Orkut hackers” than by actual Google employees. The Orkut application is so dangerous that people do not click on any links that are not Orkut generated and even then accounts and communities are compromised all the time. Hacking scripts and techniques are easily found via a simple Google search.

\n

Now I am just as selfish of an individual as everyone else. I barely cared about any of these issues until something bad happened to me that I needed help for. I was the target of a phishing attack on Orkut and I fell for it hook line and sinker. My Google login is associated with my Orkut login. As soon as I realized that I had just sent my username and password to a phisher (within a few seconds of me hitting enter), I changed my Google account password. But alas, the damage had already been done.

\n

This is where things get really weird. Apparently, a group of “hackers” had taken over my Orkut profile and were making drastic changes to the Calcutta community. Emails, IMs and phone calls started to roll in and I was in full panic. I was immediately concerned that my Google account was still compromised and all my personal stuff in my email would be in jeopardy. I went into damage control mode. I changed all my authentication credentials for everything Google.My Gmail account seemed to be untouched but my Orkut account, which uses the same login credentials (I know that was my own fault), seemed to still be under rogue control.

\n

In spite of changing my passwords multiple times, changing login names, changing email addresses and trying all authentication tricks to fix Orkut, the miscreants still regained control of my profile. Instead of falling for the FUD about viruses and worms on my computer (many well wishers who reported the problem to me suggested that I format my computer because i had a key logger that was sending my password to the hackers, completely untrue), I decided to do some research on the problem. The more I learned, the less confidence I had in Orkut and Google’s intention and/or ability to fix the problems.

\n

Now the only reason I disclose this issue is because I have not only reported it to Orkut (and received no answer), it appears to be the same an age old vulerability and one of many similar issues that were purportedly fixed. You can recreate this at home if you please.

\n

The Orkut application stores cookies in such a way that if your cookie is ever recreated by someone else or transmitted to someone else, they can use that cookie to log in to Orkut as you. forever. No matter how you change your credentials, you have no recourse of regaining control. So if you ever get caught in a phishing scam that sends your password to someone else and they recreate your orkut_state cookie, they can login as you forever. I will not go into the technical details but the link above discusses it. If you log into your Orkut account using Firefox, using a cookie editing plugin, look for a cookie called orkut_state and copy the contents. Then log out of Orkut. After logging out, re-add the orkut_state cookie to Firefox with the cookie editing plugin and then visit www.orkut.com You will find yourself logged back in. Now I have tried changing my password, using a different browser, using a different machine from another location and other tricks with the same cookie and I have been granted access in all cases. From my research, it appears that Orkut expires the state cookie after 1 day (other reports talk about a 14 day expiration) but that problem is easily circumvented.

\n

So essentially, I am completely at the mercy of the people that have re-created my orkut_state cookie using my old password that I disclosed on the phishing site. I have tried to contact Orkut help, posted messages in the help groups, emailed and complained to Google, emailed and complained via the Orkut complaint forms and even tried sending messages to places that are not meant to be Orkut related. It has been over two weeks and I have yet to receive a single acknowledgment. Nothing, nada, zip.

\n

I don’t mind telling you that it is despicable for a company like Google to run an extremely popular application with a complete lack of care for its netizens. While I acknowledge that Orkut is not the most important product that Google offers, I think Google should still stand by their product. I also acknowledge that the fact that I am in this mess is my own fault, but shouldn’t there be some recourse? Would Facebook or MySpace do the same thing? Are we all under the false hope that someone in these big companies actually cares about the people that use their products? Is the online world doomed to failure in circumstances or are we willing to make a stand only when it affects us?

\n

Who can I contact at Google that can even pretend to help? I am NOT “negotiating” with the hackers who have control over my profile, which has also been suggested and immidiately turned down by me. Or is my community a complete loss because I made a mistake and fell for a phishing attack?

\n

I am not sure how I feel about trusting my life’s contents to Google if this is how Google treats compromises in security.

I have tried to contact Orkut help, posted messages in the help groups, emailed and complained to Google, emailed and complained via the Orkut complaint forms and even tried sending messages to places that are not meant to be Orkut related. It has been over two weeks and I have yet to receive a single acknowledgment. Nothing, nada, zip.

\n

I don’t mind telling you that it is despicable for a company like Google to run an extremely popular application with a complete lack of care for its netizens. While I acknowledge that Orkut is not the most important product that Google offers, I think Google should still stand by their product. I also acknowledge that the fact that I am in this mess is my own fault, but shouldn’t there be some recourse? Would Facebook or MySpace do the same thing? Are we all under the false hope that someone in these big companies actually cares about the people that use their products? Is the online world doomed to failure in circumstances or are we willing to make a stand only when it affects us?

\n

Who can I contact at Google that can even pretend to help? I am NOT “negotiating” with the hackers who have control over my profile, which has also been suggested and immidiately turned down by me. Or is my community a complete loss because I made a mistake and fell for a phishing attack?

\n

I am not sure how I feel about trusting my life’s contents to Google if this is how Google treats compromises in security.

As announced, Matt Mullenweg has added a script to WordPress.com that forces all the variations of WordPress to the proper spelling with a capital P in the “Press” part of the name. It is the trademark way it should be spelled, and it’s annoying to many in the WordPress community to see it uncapitalized.

There are a variety of WordPress Plugins you can add to your blog to do the same thing, making it easy to not miss your p’s:

Last week, we gave you two plugins to play with. And this week we’re back with yet another plugin.

\n

Way back in 2005, Mark released the Top 10 posts plugin that allowed you to track page views and display them on your blog post. You could also display a list of popular posts.

\n

With WordPress 2.7, a update was necessary and here it is.

\n

The Top 10 plugin for WordPress will track page views on single and post pages and store them safely in a table in the WordPress database. You can then display the count in your post automatically, or either manually.

\n

Features:

\n\n

The best part about Top 10 is that it is compatibile with WP Super Cache. It will count page views even with WP Super Cache enabled and a unique feature with this plugin is that it will display the latest count from the database even on cached posts.

\n

This plugin, though fully functional, is still in its nascent phase. There are several features that can be added and I already have a few planned. I’m looking forward to suggestions and feature requests to make Top 10 a truly useful plugin for all of you!

\n

We have it running on this blog and I also have it running on Techtites. Check out the bottom of the posts for a demo.

\n

So, pen down your comments on the plugin page or in the comments section below.

Dear MobileMe / Me.com, I really think you’re swell. I’ve been dreaming dreams of sync since my first Handspring, and you are the best I’ve used. Two things would put you over the top. First, the notes application on the iPhone is handy, but please sync this to a quickie app on Me.com so I can put stuff in and out of notes easily. Second, and this is a stretch, I know you don’t like to-do applications, but I also have an inkling you could do something that would make me stop using paper and pen for to-dos. And synchronize it. With love, Matt.

\n

Among Matt’s new year’s resolutions is to get the WordPress Community using the correct WordPress logo.

\n

\"WordPress

\n

Color it whatever you want, but use the right base to start with. The font counts. When playing with the WordPress logo, start with the Official WordPress logos.

WordPress by itself is very simple — what makes it compelling for most of its users is the wide array of plugins (and themes) available for WP. The average WordPress blog has about 5 plugins installed! Today we just passed 4,000 plugins available in our plugin directory. (Which is also embedded into everyone’s WordPress 2.7 or above.)

\n

I declare January 28th our official “Thank a Plugin Developer” day. To celebrate take a look at the plugins you use and love, visit the author’s site, find their contact form, and drop them a note thanking them. (Or Paypal!) Look for the links in the plugin directory to “author homepage” and also to donate directly if they’ve specified a Paypal address.

Thank you to everyone who has ever written a plugin for WordPress, and here’s to the next four thousand. \":)\"

After a lengthy delay, WordPress MU 2.7 is now available. WordPress MU is the software that runs on WordPress.com and many other sites.

\n

This is a sync of the code from WordPress 2.7 released last December. It’s taken a while but I think it’s worth the wait as there are many bugs fixed. Besides the merge with WordPress 2.7 there are also a few new features, including Viper007bond’s admin bar which is the most user visible addition.
\nCheck the timeline for further info.

\n

Upgrading from WordPress MU 2.6.5 should be as easy as copying over your existing install but please backup everything. Blog databases must be upgraded but that will occur in the background as usual.

\n

I would really like to thank everyone who helped me bring this release out and offered me encouragement along the way. I’d name names but I’m bound to miss someone! It’s great hearing what everyone is doing with WordPress MU. There’s quite a community out there!

\"\" On the evening of Tuesday, January 27th, I had the pleasure to converse with Michael Pick, an employee of Automattic and also the guy behind the newly launched WordPress.TV. WordPress.TV is a new website which aggregates all sorts of WordPress content in video form. The site has already made a name for itself by showcasing many of the videos from recent WordCamps. Here is just a sampling of what we discussed during the show.

\n

Here are some of the questions we covered on the show:

\n
    \n
  1. What is the purpose of WordPress.TV?
  2. \n
  3. How did WordPress.TV reach fruition?
  4. \n
  5. Will WordPress.TV feature content created by people other than Automattic?
  6. \n
  7. What do you plan on doing with videos that seemingly disappear?
  8. \n
  9. Can someone suggest a video that is produced with a language other than English?
  10. \n
  11. If there were any plans to let the videos be downloadable or even a podcast?
  12. \n
  13. Are WordPress.tv videos released under the GPL? Would love to use this stuff for company training videos
  14. \n
\n

Near the end of the show, I let my curiosity get the best of me.

Plug For A Podcast: Plugins Podcast is a podcast which aims to cover one WordPress plugin a week with occasional interviews of plugin developers as well as heavy plugin users. Episodes range between 10-15 minutes and are in mp3 format. Angelo already has a podcast available on the pluginspodcast.com website where he discusses the CForms2 Custom Forms plugin. So if you’re a plugin junkie, this sounds like the show for you.

Also of interest, via a review on Mashable, is of a service called Errorlytics. It is a 404 redirect service that lets a website owner track 404 page hits, transparently redirect 404 pages to other content within a blog and/or website and possibly increases pageviews and SEO. They have a custom WordPress plugin for the purpose and the service is free for one domain and 5 rules. Now is it worth it? I will never use it because I do not want to depend on another remotely hosted service for my uptime. There are many WordPress plugins that acheive the same purpose and do it for free. There are many ways to handle 404 pages efficiently and with good results. This service might be useful to those who either do not have the experience to put other solutions in place or are looking to make use of the other features associated with the service. If you have Errorlytics installed, what did you think of the service?

Just a bit after a year after we welcomed Defensio to the market it’s just been announced that that they’re being swallowed by the public security company Websense.

\n

Given the size of Defensio’s team and user base it probably wasn’t a huge acquisition, but this is still an important validation of the  space in general as traditional email anti-spam and security companies have been completely blind to web spam thus far, and in my opinion it’s the fastest growing threat to most businesses today.

\n

(Think about it: if you get a spam in your email, it’s annoying but not the end of the world; if you get a spam on your website it’s immediately visible to your customers who probably won’t be impressed by “buy viagra’s” contribution to the conversation when thinking about your products or services.)

\n

2009 is shaping up to be a pretty interesting year in our world. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the ever-increasing players in this market, but more importantly we’ll be listening to you guys and do our best to be as invisible and effective as possible.

WP Super Cache version 0.9 is now available. WP Super Cache is a page caching plugin for WordPress that will significantly speed up your website.

\n

Update - if your blog is installed in a sub directory instead of at the root of your server, the .htaccess file might be wrong. Download and install the development version which corrects this. You’ll have to edit the .htaccess file (anyone want to volunteer to write an auto-upgrader?) and remove the rules between the lines # BEGIN WPSuperCache and # END WPSuperCache. Delete those lines too and visit your admin page. The plugin should do it’s stuff and spit out correct mod_rewrite rules for you. The dev version also has a few other bug fixes so if you’re adventurous have fun upgrading!
\nThere’s no need to touch wp-content/cache/.htaccess

\n

Are we nearing version 1? Possibly. In this release a number of bugs have been fixed and the following new features added:\n

    \n
  1. Mobile user agents are detected and a different cache page created for them. If you use a plugin that displays a different theme to these devices it will hopefully work now. The plugin changes to “half-on” mode because the detection is done by PHP. Thanks to Alex King’s WordPress Mobile Edition plugin for the detection code.
  2. \n
  3. The number of cache files will be more than halved on a normal site with plenty of anonymous visitors. This should be a huge win for WordPress MU sites and very busy blogs.
  4. \n
  5. The last and next garbage collection times are displayed on the admin page now.
  6. \n
  7. In previous versions the newly generated page was delivered uncompressed to the first visitor even if the browser supported compression. I’ve fixed this but I’m not 100% certain it will work for everyone so it’s disabled by default. Edit wp-content/wp-cache-config.php and add “$wp_cache_gzip_first = 1;” to enable this. It’s enabled here.
  8. \n
  9. If expiry time is longer than 30 minutes, garbage collection will be done every 10 minutes, else it’ll be done 10 seconds after the expiry time.
  10. \n
\n
\"cache-contents\"
\n

Unfortunately wp-content/advanced-cache.php will have to be updated again and it’s not as simple as copying the file from the plugin directory. Full instructions are printed on the admin page and it should auto update in most cases.

\n

PS. Test your upgraded blog on Is my blog working, a project by fellow Automattican Alex Shiels.
\nHere’s the page for this site. 102ms page generation time is rather fast!

\nI decided to go ahead a release my FancyBox Gallery plugin as-is. Version 0.1 0.2 is very bare-bones: there are no options that you can set. Once you activate the plugin, thumbnails generated by the standard WordPress gallery shortcode will be handled by FancyBox. This works best if you use the link=’file’ option (see the documentation for more details). I’ll eventually add user-settable options for more control.

\n

If you’re interested in trying it out now, download it from the WordPress Plugins Directory: FancyBox Gallery

\n

Update: Updated the plugin to version 0.2. The new version adds styles which should keep the image captions from breaking under certain themes.

If you’ve finally decided to start selling ads on your WordPress blog, you either signup for an advertising network like Google Adsense or sell ads directly on your own.

\n

125 x 125 button advertising has become a rage with almost every blog / site selling advertisement. Out here at Weblog Tools Collection, we use OIO Publisher for this. However, if you’re not interested in purchasing the plugin, then WP125 is an excellent choice for the same.

\n

What is WP125?

\n

The WP125 plugin is designed to make it easy to manage 125×125 banner ads on your blog. The plugin adds a new “Ads” menu to the WordPress admin, featuring submenus for tweaking display settings and adding and removing ads. It’s very customizable, allowing you plenty of options for displaying the ads. It can optionally track the number of times the ads are clicked. The best part is you don’t have to count forward on your calendar anymore. You can just set how long an ad should run, and it will figure out the end date for you, and it will take the ad down automatically. The plugin does a lot to make it easy for you to manage your 125×125 ads quickly so you can get back to what’s really important: Blogging.

\n\n

Our Review:

\n

Getting started with WP125 is easy. Download the plugin from the repository and install it on your WordPress blog.

\n

The plugin creates a new Ads menu that you can use to configure all settings. You can select the number of ads you want to sell as well as if you want to stack them in one or two columns.

\n

The next step is to integrate them into your blog template. You have two options for this. One is to use <?php wp125_write_ads(); ?> where you want to display the ads. I suggest putting this into your sidebar.

\n

If you don’t like the one or two column setting, you can choose to custom layout your advertisements. Use <?php wp125_single_ad(num); ?> where num is the number of the ad you wish to display.

\n

Overall this is a really good plugin that will get you started with selling adverting on your blog. There are several features that can be added to this.

\n

The author has the following plans:

\n\n

One more option that can be added is the creation of ad slots. This will ensure you don’t need to use the code for displaying single ads all over but instead use a code for ad slots.

\n

I know the plugin is called WP125, but it would be great to see added support for other banner sizes including the popular 468×60 etc.

\n

Do you sell advertising on your blog? If so, what service do you use for the same?

\n

Are you using WP125? What is it that you love about the plugin? And what is it that you would love to see improved? If you’re not using WP125, which plugin are you using for advertising?

At this time of year, I normally say Happy Birthday to WordPress. After all it was 6 years ago today I made the comment on Matt’s blog that started the whole thing off.

\n

However last year, Matt held a birthday party for WordPress’ 5th in May. May 27th to be precise, which is the anniversary of the first WordPress release.

\n

If the birth of WordPress was the first release, then I guess I’ve been celebrating the conception.  \":-)\"

Regardless, WordPress has come a long way. The baby  has grown into a world beating piece of software. It’s so good I’ve bet the house on it (more of that soon).

WP Super Cache version 0.8.9 is now available. WP Super Cache is a page caching plugin for WordPress that will significantly speed up your website.

\n

This version fixes a number of bugs and adds two new features, but in case you run into problems upgrading, make sure you delete wp-content/advanced-cache.php before copying plugins/wp-super-cache/advanced-cache.php over it. Go on, read that again. Delete that file. Jonathan Dingman didn’t and when he copied the file over the symlink he overwrote wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php. His site went belly up and he started screaming for my head!!! Err no, he appeared on #wordpress asking why it didn’t work. Thanks Jonathan for working through the problem with me. My fault for not making the instructions clearer!

\n

If this happens to you, take a deep breath and unzip the plugin again in the plugins folder and delete wp-content/advanced-cache.php

\n

Anyway, the new features are:

\n
    \n
  1. Cache rebuild. Serve a static cache file to anonymous users while that file is being generated.
  2. \n
  3. Disable the large global lock that makes every access to the cache atomic.
  4. \n
\n

Besides those, I got rid of the symlinked file in wp-content/, and the plugin now copies a file called “advanced-cache.php” from the plugin directory to simplify things. Especially on operating systems where symlink isn’t available. Yes, that’s Windows.

\n

If your site is horrendously busy and you get a ton of comments every day and you’re too broke to buy a new server, then the cache rebuild feature will help you a lot. You should see the load on your server go way down if you enable this. Anonymous users who visit a page where a comment has just been left will be served a static cache file from the supercache instead of all the requests trying to generate a brand new page. The page served to them might be a few seconds out of date but that trade off is worth it.
\nHere’s the original thread that inspired the idea. Thanks Tigertech for writing the patch and for sharing the performance graphs. Check out the load on his server, before and after the rebuild function was switch on:

\n
\"wp
\n

If you’ve had problems with deleting the cache on your blog it *might* be because of file locks. Some hosts just have problems with them. The file locking in the plugin is very coarse. When the plugin wants to do any sort of write operation it grabs a lock, does the writes (which could include clearing expired files, or creating wp-cache and supercache cache files), and then releases the lock.
\nAny other process running the plugin that tries that won’t get a lock: new cache files won’t be created, and cache files won’t be cleared.
\nIt isn’t a huge problem that the lock is so coarse because the writes don’t take very long (the lock is enabled after the page is generated), but some very busy sites take quite a while to clear their cache files.
\nOn the downside, disabling the file lock won’t stop multiple cached files being generated simultaneously (great), but it also won’t stop multiple “clear cache” attempts either (boo!)
\nFrom what I recall of looking at the other cache plugins for WordPress, most of them don’t have any file locking and seem to do just fine.

\n

I almost forgot! There is also a new debug mode. Edit wp-content/wp-cache-config.php and look for “$wp_cache_debug” and follow the instructions. It will send you a few emails when things don’t go right and may help track down any problems.

\n

As a final note, I would like to sincerely thank Robert Wolf who spruced up the admin page and gave it a nice lick of paint and Michael Torbert for helping me debug the plugin a while back.

A month or so ago I got a tilt-shift lens (Nikon PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED) and one of the first things I wanted to try was interval shooting to make a stop-motion like tilt-shifted video like these awesome ones from Australia photographer Keith Loutit. Haven’t quite figured out how to make them look that cool yet but here’s one of the first efforts, taken from the Burj Al Arab looking down at its car entrance at night. Watch how the lights come in and out of focus, and how fast the cars are at the intersection. The video is available in full HD if your computer can handle it just toggle it in the top-right and go full-screen.

A beta version of WordPress MU 2.7, the multi blog version of WordPress that runs on such sites as WordPress.com has just been uploaded and is available here.

\n

This is quite a stable release and has been tested by many but it’s not the final 2.7 release so there are probably bugs we haven’t found yet. Don’t put it into production just yet, but if you’re working on a new site, you’re better off using this rather than 2.6.5 as the final WordPress MU 2.7 will be along soon.

\n

Check the timeline for more info, there are still plenty of open tickets and keep an eye on the forums and please help out if you can.

\n

I also want to extend a big thank you to everyone who has helped with this release, be it entering tickets, updating them, creating patches, or helping out on the forums and of course the WordPress community. This software wouldn’t be where it is today without you.

One lesser known skills of our very own Mark Ghosh is his strong coding abilities and his occasional WordPress Plugins that he makes available to all our readers.

\n

Two such plugins were the Moderation Notify Author and Contextual Related Posts, written long long ago. With the arrival of WordPress 2.7, we felt it time to update the plugins and so here we are!

\n

Moderation Notify Author

\n

The problem on multiple-author blogs running WordPress is that it doesn’t automatically notify the author of a post about waiting comments. Instead all comment moderation requests go to the admin.

\n

This plugin will notify the author of the post in addition to the admin and thus allow the author to share the responsibility of moderating comments on his posts.

\n

The plugin is smart enough to ensure that the admin does not get a duplicate email.

\n

\n

Contextual Related Posts

\n

Checked out the Related Posts that you see at the bottom of this post?

\n

This plugin will allow you to display a list of contextually related posts for the current post. The number of posts can be configured via the admin panel as well as the title you want to display before the list of posts.

\n

You can also choose to automatically display the posts after the content of your post as well as in feeds. You can also choose to manually display the posts where you want.

\n

The posts displayed are based on a “fuzzy” search and so will display related posts even for those with no tags.

\n

\n

We’re running both the plugins on this blog. I also have both plugins installed on my technology blog Techtites and Contextual Related Posts on my personal blog.

\n

We’re looking to improve the features of both these plugins, so either comment below or on their individual pages with suggestions and feature requests.

I have the basics working, but I need to add an options screen, and resolve some CSS issues when it’s used with certain themes.

\n

I hope to have it ready by next week (depends on how much spare time I can find). In the meantime, click these images for a preview…

\n\n\"\"\n\"\"\n\n

When I feel like the code is a little more ready for prime-time, I’ll announce it here, and release the plugin in the WordPress Plugins Directory.
