This week, I’m bringing the poll question a little closer to home in order to generate feedback regarding the site. The Tavern opened its doors back in March and since then, it’s been a blast witnessing the site growing in popularity and establishing a base of regular visitors. WPTavern site and forum is being mentioned…
During the past few days, I’ve been participating in an interesting discussion revolving around the state of documentation for WordPress, namely the Codex. The discussion centered around the fact that although the Wiki approach was good in the beginning, it simply doesn’t make sense today. Quality has gone way down, there is a ton of…
Earlier this week while I was at work, I was thinking about WordPress Weekly and possibly recording the show at the same time but on a different night. I have a day in mind but without diluting the results, I won’t say which day that is. Instead, I want to see what you folks think…
The poll this week asks what the most important selling point is for you when it comes to purchasing a theme. For me, the most important selling point is support. When ever I’m on the lookout to purchase a new theme, I do a thorough background check with sites I know are using the theme…
The poll this week deals with bbPress because that’s what this weeks episode of WordPress Weekly will be about (hopefully). I’m wondering whether or not you think bbPress will someday change from being dedicated software, to a feature packed WordPress plugin. I can see the day when the architecture of bbPress reaches the point that…
Well, every time a change goes into the core of WordPress that is visual and is not liked by a vocal minority of people, the question of whether or not WordPress is a dictatorship or a community project comes up. Personally, I like having one person or a select few who guide the project along.…
Recently, it was announced that there is now a commercial GPL themes page that was added to the WordPress theme repository. Now, there is discussion that there should be a page on the plugin repository for commercial GPL plugins. While Matt has said that there is no need for this because the repository already has…
Just out of curiosity, I’m wondering how many of you out there know the difference between the two? In a recent article, Mark Jaquith commented on the fact that he sometimes hears people describe WordPress as feature limited when really they are talking about the hosted version of WordPress, that being WordPress.com. There is no…
The Degusto theme review I recently published showed me that switching themes on an established site is not as easy as 1, 2, 3. I didn’t know whether I should write the review from a fresh install of WordPress or on an established site pre filled with content. This is where you come in. [poll…
Time to get back on the bandwagon and get the listener poll on track. This was supposed to be the poll a few weeks ago but thanks to my new system of including the poll inside the post, I’ve been forgetting. Alas, here is this weeks poll question submitted by The WordPress Kid. [poll id=”16″]
One conversation point which was brought up time and time again before the core updater was implemented was the release cycle. Quite a few people believed that the cycle was too fast and upgrading all the time was too troublesome. Well, now that we have gone six months without a major release coupled with the…
