Since version 1.0 of WPPA was released back in June, I’ve got many emails and comments with feedback, support issues and feature recommendations. First of all, I would like to apologize for not responding to all emails and comments regarding WPPA. I created WPPA in my spare time (which I don’t have much of) and [...]

So again (after doing the same thing with XHTML 1.1), the W3C might be backing off of plans for a more advances web, and leaving it to yet another version of HTML. Right now the W3C has working groups for developing both XHTML 2 and HTML 5. While XHTML 2.0 is a real advancement, and [...]
Are you a WordPress theme developer? if so, you probably need to add automatic listing of the WordPress pages to themes allot. wp_list_pages() works fine if the design’s navigation uses a list. If not, you usually have to add a list there, and tweak the css to ignore the list. Not anymore. I wrote a [...]
After all the long way computing has gone in the last 20 years, someone actually used one of the most advanced web technologies, AJAX, to create a command-line like interface for WordPress. I must say, I was really impressed. Although this theme is not useful for any real site, It’s loads of fun to play [...]
I first heard about this project in episode 18 of the WordPress Podcast. It is called Habari, which means ‘news’ in Swahili (I guess using african words for names is part of the the new web 2.1 ). Here’s what they have to say for themselves: Habari represents a fresh start to the idea of [...]

A few months ago, the site was sold, and the new owner wasn’t so considerate of the open source designers. It was time for community action. Temporary forums [...]
A brief history: A few years back, when I got my iBook, I looked for a free POP3 mail service, so I can check out Apple Mail, So I registered for a free account with Hotpop. It was horrible, sometimes it takes days to receive a message. After a short while, Gmail was announced, so [...]
After reviewing WordPressDash, I decided to tae a look and see if they’re any other OS X Dashboard posting solutions, and I found this one, RapidMetaBlog. Pros and cons: Basically, the same as WordPressDash, no image posting is the main issue, but I’m not really sure that it’s possible though the WordPress XML-RPC interface. A [...]
I just stumbled upon this cool dashboard widget for posting to WordPress directly from the Mac OS X dashboard. How convenient. It’s almost perfect, The interface is nice and clean, and you can select the post categories, but it still has 2 minor issues to be solved before i’d call it a perfect solution; 1. [...]

I salute all you brave people that left comments on this site, waiting forever [...]
