WordPress Wednesday: 50 Links & Resources from around the web

Mike — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:45:41 +0000

A couple months ago, I started wordpress wednesday on twitter. Today, we’re bringing it back and bringing it back with a bang! In this article I am showcasing 50 highly useful wordpress links, resources, tips, tricks and downloads. Anything you can think of is here in this post. Every week, we’ll be doing the wordpress wednesday posts and also doing the wordpress wednesday links from the WPGuerrilla twitter account (follow @WPGuerrilla here). Every wednesday morning, I’ll be sending out twitter updates from our official twitter account with all of the links you see in this post – the post is just a way to round them all together in case you missed some of them. If you would like to share a wordpress related link on twitter, just tag it with the #wpwednesday hash tag and I’ll make sure to include it next week.

Below are the links. Make sure you check them all out and remember to ReTweet any of the links you find useful. Lets help spread the news about all of the great twitter resources out there!

Mike — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:28:09 +0000

Hopefully we’ll beat a lot of the buzz since we’re up dangerously late here in Guerrilla land and we’re releasing the article now But anyways, wordpress 2.8 is officially released and is already put into good use across three of our websites (the WP Guerrilla website, Guerrilla Freelancing and my Blog Design company website). In short – it’s amazing!

Lets run down some of the features and links showcasing the great wordpress 2.8

The official release notes from WordPress

The wordpress development blog released a post showcasing wordpress 2.8 baker, the story behind the name and has a cool little video showcasing some of the new features it holds. Definitely a link to check out.

WordPress 2.8 baker plug-in compatibility checker

I just seen this link in a twitter status update from @wplinks and it’s definitely a page I’ll be looking into more shortly. It has a great rundown of over 5 thousand wordpress plug-ins, their compatibility, what php version they require and more. Definitely worth looking into for any blog owner or wordpress theme developer.

The official WordPress 2.8 baker codex

If you need the real information, you might as well get it straight from the horses mouth. This codex page is exhausting to look at. I mean, look at all of the awesome improvements they’ve made from wordpress 2.7! I’ll be studying this page more thoroughly tomorrow.

Custom Taxonomies in WordPress 2.8 baker

Justin Tadlock posted an awesome article in the custom taxonomies in wordpress 2.8 that shows you not only what a taxonomy is, but how to get your own custom ones (and why you should even consider it). I’ve not realized that taxonomies even existed (yes, I know – bad wordpress developer/blogger) but I am definitely going to look into them more closely after reading this post.

Building a widget with the new widget API in wordpress 2.8 baker

To round out the list of items to showcase wordpress 2.8 is a tutorial on how to build your own widgets with the new widget API in wordpress 2.8 baker. Step by step instructions are always nice, and the explinations in this article are great.

More wordpress 2.8 baker news/tutorials/resources

This upcoming wednesday will be the wordpress wednesday 2.8 baker edition over at my Blog Design blog. I am considering moving the wordpress wednesday posts over here to the WP Guerrilla website but am not sure since it’s already been going over there. So make sure you check out that blog (and subscribe) for the 2.8 baker edition post next wednesday.

If you have a wordpress 2.8 article/tutorial/resource, please feel free to let me know and I’ll make sure I get it included in the new wordpress wednesday!
