There have been a few developments in the wonderful world of WordPress over the last little while. Let’s take a look: WordPress 2.6 was released. Nuff said. WordPress for iPhone app released. This would be exciting news, BUT I’VE NEVER TOUCHED AN IPHONE IN MY LIFE SINCE THEY DON’T SELL THEM IN ISRAEL. Whew. I feel better. [...]

A few days ago, the folk over at Automattic released WordPress 2.6. This release was so ahead of time (apparently it was released a month early) that I feel like it snuck up on me. First of all, kudos to all involved for getting out a new release ahead of time. And secondly, they’ve done a [...]

Ryan Hellyer just pointed out that the comments feed here at WordPress Garage was not working, and apparently hasn’t been working since the end of April.

There is one WordPress theme file that I almost never touch when working on a theme: comments.php. I usually style WordPress comments via the CSS sheet, and that’s that. Well, there’s a lot you can do to customize and extend WordPress comments if you just know how. Nettuts has published a comprehensive tutorial on how the [...]

I always think I’ve seen everything, until something even crazier comes along. Foreclosure.com, a site that lists nationwide foreclosure data, has released a WordPress plugin that adds foreclosure listings to their Web sites. The WordPress Foreclosure Listings Plugin delivers a complete real estate search and navigation environment quickly and easily by querying the Foreclosure.com database in [...]

I manage a few blogs that use thumbnail images to spruce up the appearance of the site, and make it more enjoyable for readers. As we’ve discussed here in the past, an efficient method for adding thumbnails to your blog is with custom fields. But finding the right image, resizing it (ugh), uploading, etc., is [...]
