The idea was to find a better way to insert “stuff” below WordPress posts: Inserting the sharing and like rows at the bottom of the post text before the byline/classification metadata seems wrong. It should go below that,

Last weekend I had the chance to see a truly amazing concert. But what made the night even better was the remarkable woman with whom I attended the concert. Frankly, one of my best Saturday nights all year. Great music, great messages, great company, and great conversation. But that conversation was actually quite convicting. On

As promised, here is the code for my demo of adding feature pointers to WordPress in version 3.3 And again, please do not use these in distributed plugins/themes.

I find new ways to challenge my faith in the oddest of places. Lately, though, it was a random political conversation I had with some friends on Twitter. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you might have missed the “Occupy Wall Street” movement sweeping across America. It’s something I’ve

Last night, I had the opportunity to talk with Jeff Chandler on the weekly podcast WordPress Weekly. We talked about a lot of things: should automatic WordPress updates be opt-in or opt out? Will/should Automattic ever be acquired by another organization? Does it matter how many plugins your site runs? It was a fun chat,

I’m in the midst of developing a real-time publishing system, and I wanted to give an example of what it is and why I want to do it. Gizmodo’s live blog Today, Apple is promoting a live press event, and Gizmodo is live blogging their coverage on http://live.gizmodo.com/. It’s a really basic page, but it updates

I originally started blogging with WordPress via the one-click installer that came standard with a basic Network Solutions website.
