The setup is similar to the protest that was held in January 2012, which helped to defeat SOPA and PIPA censorship legislation. The February 11th event is called <a href=\"https://thedaywefightback.org/\" target=\"_blank\">The Day We Fight Back</a> and the mission is:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Together we will push back against powers that seek to observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action. Together, we will make it clear that such behavior is not compatible with democratic governance.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Websites can participate in the protest using the embeddable banner, which changes based on the the nationality of the visitors and includes different calls to action. Here&#8217;s what the banner looks like for visitors in the United States:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tdwfb-banner.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16452]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tdwfb-banner.png\" alt=\"tdwfb-banner\" width=\"1138\" height=\"349\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16502\" /></a></p>\n<p>The banner makes it easy for your visitors to contact their legislators to ask that they oppose the<a href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security-technology-and-liberty/sen-dianne-feinsteins-nsa-reforms-bad-privacy-bad\" target=\"_blank\"> FISA Improvements Act</a>, support the <a href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/usa-freedom-act-real-spying-reform\" target=\"_blank\">USA Freedom Act</a>, and enact protections for non-Americans.</p>\n<h3>WordPress Plugin For The Day We Fight Back</h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using WordPress and you want the banner on your site, there&#8217;s a plugin you can install to join the protest. Ryan Fugate&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/modemlooper/thedaywefightback.wp\" target=\"_blank\">The Day We Fight Back WordPress plugin</a> is based on <a href=\"https://github.com/tfrce/thedaywefightback.js\" target=\"_blank\">thedaywefightback.js</a>. It will automatically display the banner at midnight on 2/11 for 24 hours. If you want to display the banner now, there&#8217;s an option in the settings for that, too.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tdwfb-settings.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16452]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tdwfb-settings.jpg\" alt=\"tdwfb-settings\" width=\"769\" height=\"335\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16506\" /></a></p>\n<p>When asked why he took the time to create the plugin, Fugate replied, &#8220;<strong>WordPress sites make up a large percentage of the internet and can have a powerful impact. Plugins make it easy to allow voices to be heard.&#8221;</strong> Check out a <a href=\"http://modemlooper.me/\" target=\"_blank\">live demo</a> of the banner in action on his site.

The originator of these requests goes by the username <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/profile/bestweblayout\" target=\"_blank\">bestweblayout</a> on WordPress.org and operates the <a href=\"http://bestweblayout.com/\" target=\"_blank\">bestweblayout.com</a> domain.</p>\n<p>The issue was first <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-strange-offer-from-third-party-to-give-them-repository-access\" target=\"_blank\">reported</a> by WordPress user <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/profile/fractalizer\" target=\"_blank\">FractalizeR</a>, who posted the contents of the email:</p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hello Vladislav.</p>\n<p>My name is Grigoriy and I am a representative of BestWebLayout. Our team specializes in WordPress development services.</p>\n<p>We saw that your WP-SynHighlight plugin was updated more than 4 years ago. We would like to offer you our assistance and participation in further development and maintenance of this plugin. In other words, we would like to get your permission and access to plugin repository on wordpress.org. In such way we will become the plugin contributors along with you and will be able to control testing and development of this tool within the WordPress community.</p>\n<p>Our activity will include plugin updates, compatibility testing, support, etc.</p>\n<p>We have already talked to WordPress support team (they said that WordPress is open-source community and such contribution is welcome), who asked us to contact you with such a request. Please let me know if you are ready to accept our offer. Feel free to contact me with any questions.</p>\n<p>Thanks!</p>\n<p>Grigoriy&#8221;</p></blockquote>\n<p>FractalizeR&#8217;s initial reaction to the email was one of suspicion. &#8220;The offer itself is a little strange,&#8221; he said. <span class=\"pullquote alignleft\">&#8220;If I want to contribute, I donate code. I don&#8217;t ask write access to the repository.&#8221;</span></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/profile/codix\" target=\"_blank\">@Codix</a>, another recipient of the email, decided to ask for contributions first. &#8220;I got the same offer and I suggested they should submit a patch to one issue before I can grant them access,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Still they insist they need to be listed as a contributor.&#8221;</p>\n<p>A handful of other plugin developers reported on the same thread that they have received the same email, which they forwarded to plugins@wordpress.org. Mika Epstein, a member of the WordPress.org plugin review team, confirmed that they did not ask bestweblayout to get in touch with the authors.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, bestweblayout <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-strange-offer-from-third-party-to-give-them-repository-access?replies=16#post-5173167\" target=\"_blank\">posted</a> on the thread in defense of the email solicitations:</p>\n<blockquote><p>We aren&#8217;t involved in any illegal affairs. Earlier on forum there was a question about the possibility of cooperation with the authors of neglected plugins. And it said that it is not a problem to cooperate with the authors. So we decided to help WordPress community with these plugins. We only collect information about plugins, which were simply neglected by authors and have not been updated with the latest changes of WordPress. Some of the authors refused, but some of them agreed. Sorry that it looks like spam. </p></blockquote>\n<p>Those who have reported having received the requests are uniformly suspicious of the technique that is being employed for gaining write access to their repositories. Epstein addressed bestweblayouts to explain why their requests are not being well-received. &#8220;It looks like spam because you&#8217;re sending this out to a LOT of people, and as of yet, haven&#8217;t done anything with the plugins,&#8221; she said. <span class=\"pullquote alignleft\">&#8220;Which is, sadly, a tactic of some spammers. They&#8217;ll take over legit plugins and turn them into guideline violation spam fests.&#8221; </span></p>\n<p>WordPress plugin developer Jeff Sayre was another recipient of the email and he <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-strange-offer-from-third-party-to-give-them-repository-access?replies=16#post-5201320\" target=\"_blank\">cites several issues with the approach</a> that indicate it may be a potential threat. The fact that anyone is free to fork a plugin and develop their own version was the first indication. Developers can let the original author know, as a courtesy, but permission is not required.</p>\n<p>Secondly, the &#8220;approval&#8221; implied in the email request is suspect. &#8220;The fact that the email makes it appear that they have &#8220;approval&#8221; from the WP repo team to contact me is another big, red flag,&#8221; Sayre said. &#8220;No one requires approval from anyone at WP to contact a plugin author. I receive emails all the time about updating my plugins.&#8221;  Despite Epstein having made it clear that approval has not been given, the folks at bestweblayout continue to circulate the same email without modification.</p>\n<h3>A Warning to All WordPress.org Plugin Authors</h3>\n<p>Sayre has some sage words of warning to anyone who may receive this request or something similar. In case the offer of free updates to your plugin sounded like a dream come true to you, it&#8217;s a good idea to consider what is at stake. He cautions all concerned:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Providing such credentials to an unknown, therefore untrusted party, is never wise as it could be a significant security threat. Malicious code could be entered into your plugin and you, in effect, would be complicit in its insertion. If you do not know someone, it is never wise to team up with them without fully vetting their integrity and the quality of their work.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Obviously, you should be very wary of giving anyone write access to your plugin repositories. The motivation for the request could be harmless or it could be a ploy to gain access to WordPress.org plugins in order to unleash spamagaddon. When it comes to collaborating on code, it&#8217;s best to work only with developers you trust. If you&#8217;re not interested in collaborating, the safest route would be to suggest that they fork your work and credit you.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:16:46 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"Gravatar: Manage Multiple Identities with One Gravatar Account\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://blog.gravatar.com/?p=481\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"http://blog.gravatar.com/2014/02/06/multiple-identities/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2472:\"<p>Did you know that you can have multiple email addresses associated with your Gravatar account?

What once was a side project is now the main focus of a dedicated team. I found it surprising that something as simple as BruteProtect would be successful to the point of receiving venture capital funding. Sam however, was not surprised.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m not at all surprised at the success we&#8217;ve had with BruteProtect so far. It&#8217;s a drop-dead simple to install plugin that provides the most comprehensive solution to the growing problem of distributed brute force attacks. It&#8217;s pretty incredible what a large problem this is. We&#8217;ve identified over 2 million infected machines that are a part of a distributed botnet and have blocked over 41 million attacks now. That number is growing by over 1 million a day on average at this point.</p></blockquote>\n<h3>BruteProtect Is Just The Beginning</h3>\n<p>BruteProtect is sort of like Akismet, but for the WordPress login page. It tracks failed logins across a large number of WordPress sites, then analyzes that data to find patterns and identify attack bots. The more sites using the service, the more data they have to work with. Sam believes that BruteProtect is just the tip of the iceberg. To that end, Jesse and Sam have created a new parent company called <strong><a href=\"http://GetParka.com\" title=\"http://GetParka.com\">Parka, LLC</a></strong> with the goal to allow websites to work together to solve problems.</p>\n<h3>WordCamp Road Trip</h3>\n<p>Sam and his wife have purchased a camper and will be traveling the United States of America stopping at numerous WordCamps along the way.

Many of the trends on her list are carry overs from last year. Responsive is definitely not a trend but an expectation. Websites that are not responsive are at a serious disadvantage considering at least <a title=\"http://mashable.com/2013/08/20/mobile-web-traffic/\" href=\"http://mashable.com/2013/08/20/mobile-web-traffic/\">17.4% of web traffic comes through mobile</a> according to a study by <a title=\"http://www.statista.com/\" href=\"http://www.statista.com/\">Statista</a> in 2013.</p>\n<h3>Fullscreen Background Images</h3>\n<p>One particular trend that I don&#8217;t understand is full-screen background images and videos. Where are people finding gigantic videos and images to use with these themes? Granted, if designed properly with the right images, these types of sites look great. <a title=\"http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/wall-street/#demo-full\" href=\"http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/wall-street/#demo-full\">Wall Street</a> by Graph Paper Press is a great example of a design that looks good using fullscreen images. I&#8217;m just unsure of their practicality.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16414\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/WallStreetByGraphPaperPress.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16267]\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-16414\" alt=\"Wall Street By Graph Paper Press\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/WallStreetByGraphPaperPress.jpg\" width=\"506\" height=\"317\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wall Street By Graph Paper Press</p></div>\n<h3>One Page Websites</h3>\n<p>The other trend I&#8217;ve taken note of is one page sites. Instead of the typical site layout with links to informative pages, all of the pages are combined into one page. As you scroll, different pages of information are shown. Thanks to the simplified display of content, navigation can be determined with clever graphical elements instead of an entire column of links. I&#8217;m not a fan of this design but I realize not every website has to convey information in the same manner.</p>\n<p>Amongst the trends listed on WPKube.com, which stand out to you? What <strong>new</strong> trends will we see in 2014? I&#8217;m predicting more WordPress themes in 2014 will take advantage of <a title=\"https://css-tricks.com/examples/IconFont/\" href=\"https://css-tricks.com/examples/IconFont/\">icon fonts</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:15:09 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:88:\"WPTavern: WordPress Developer Tom McFarlin Advocates Markdown As A Choice Not A Standard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16400\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:220:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-developer-tom-mcfarlin-advocates-markdown-as-a-choice-not-a-standard?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wordpress-developer-tom-mcfarlin-advocates-markdown-as-a-choice-not-a-standard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3418:\"<p>Tom McFarlin has <a title=\"http://tommcfarlin.com/markdown-syntax/\" href=\"http://tommcfarlin.com/markdown-syntax/\">published an awesome blog post</a> about developer&#8217;s tunnel vision. The gist of the post is that although <a title=\"https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/\" href=\"https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/\">Markdown</a> is a simplified markup language that makes it easier to format and style content, it shouldn&#8217;t be forced onto users. In the post, Tom goes on to say:</p>\n<blockquote><p>To that end, I will <em>always</em> advocate for markdown being a choice – not a standard – for people to draft their content, but I also believe that it’s important we not expect non-technical users to want to author their content in that way.</p></blockquote>\n<p>When we wrote about <a title=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-adds-support-for-markdown-is-tinymce-on-its-way-out\" href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-adds-support-for-markdown-is-tinymce-on-its-way-out\">support for Markdown being added to WordPress.com</a> and then through Jetpack as a module, some questioned whether it would outright replace the TinyMCE editor in WordPress. The reviews were mixed but I&#8217;m glad to see TinyMCE isn&#8217;t going anywhere. In fact, WordPress 3.9 will have a <a title=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-developers-take-note-tinymce-4-0-merged-into-core\" href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-developers-take-note-tinymce-4-0-merged-into-core\">shiny new version of TinyMCE</a> for users to play with.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16410\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/HeadersInMarkdown.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16400]\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-16410\" alt=\"Header Code In Markdown\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/HeadersInMarkdown.jpg\" width=\"578\" height=\"214\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Header Code In Markdown</p></div>\n<p>One thing I&#8217;ve enjoyed since we started using <a title=\"http://themehybrid.com/themes/stargazer\" href=\"http://themehybrid.com/themes/stargazer\">Stargazer</a> by Justin Tadlock is the visual editor. In Stargazer, Justin modified <a title=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Editor_Style\" href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Editor_Style\">editor-style.css</a> so that the content within the visual editor looks just like it would if it were published. It brings users closer to the principle of <strong>what you see is what you get</strong>. I bring this up because Tom drafts all of his posts in WordPress using the visual editor instead of using Markdown. He explains why:</p>\n<blockquote><p>As someone who enjoys writing, programming, and obviously markdown, I can also say that I’m someone who drafts all of his posts in the WYSIWYG editor of WordPress using editor-style.css because, when done right, it helps me to see clearly see what my content is going to look like when it’s published, and shortcuts save me just as much time as do syntax of markdown.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Thank you Tom for advocating choice instead of forcing Markdown on users as the standard to formatting content. I agree with Tom&#8217;s last statement in his post and it bears repeating. &#8220;<em>Give ‘em the choice of how they want to write; otherwise, we risk making something that should be fulfilling – that is, writing and publishing – a bit of a frustrating chore.</em>&#8220;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:00:37 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:92:\"WordPress.tv: Michelle Schulp: A Website Is Not A Poster: Designing Successfully For The Web\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=30603\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:108:\"http://wordpress.tv/2014/02/06/michelle-schulp-a-website-is-not-a-poster-designing-successfully-for-the-web/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:732:\"<div id=\"v-zPJ26qEl-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div><br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/30603/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/30603/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=30603&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2014/02/06/michelle-schulp-a-website-is-not-a-poster-designing-successfully-for-the-web/\"><img alt=\"Michelle Schulp: A Website Is Not A Poster: Designing Successfully For The Web\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/zPJ26qEl/video-214e24bcb8_std.original.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:26:14 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: BuddyPress 2.0 Development Kicks Off, Release Set for Mid-April\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16379\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:200:\"http://wptavern.com/buddypress-2-0-development-kicks-off-today-release-set-for-mid-april?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=buddypress-2-0-development-kicks-off-today-release-set-for-mid-april\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3208:\"<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/bpmobilewallpaper.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16379]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/bpmobilewallpaper-300x225.png\" alt=\"bpmobilewallpaper\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-16159\" /></a>BuddyPress <a href=\"http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/version-1-9-2/\" target=\"_blank\">1.9.2</a> was released today. This maintenance release includes two important security fixes related to group creation. It also adds a few improvements to WordPress menus integration, bp-default theme switching and theme compatibility.</p>\n<p>Today is also the beginning of the <a href=\"http://buddypress.org/2014/02/buddypress-2-0-development/\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress 2.0 development</a> cycle. The plugin&#8217;s core contributors have finalized dates for beta 1 and the release:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Development starts (today): Wednesday, February 4, 2014</li>\n<li>Beta 1 (8 weeks from today): Wednesday, March 26, 2014</li>\n<li>Release (3 weeks after beta): Wednesday, April 16, 2014</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Coming in BuddyPress 2.0?</h3>\n<p>Today&#8217;s BuddyPress development meeting focused on setting goals and exceptions for the 2.0 release. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of what you can expect to see in mid-April, barring any major roadblocks:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>bp-forums will be retiring</li>\n<li>WordPress Rewrite Rules API integration</li>\n<li>Move XProfile visibility from each field into Settings</li>\n<li>last_activity usermeta improvements</li>\n<li>Activity comment sync for comments</li>\n<li>Ticket triage and general maintenance</li>\n<li>BuddyPress Profile editing within the WordPress admin</li>\n<li>New template pack</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The newest addition to this roadmap is the ability to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/buddypress-2-0-to-add-profile-editing-in-the-wordpress-admin\" target=\"_blank\">edit BuddyPress profiles directly within the admin</a>. Administrators will appreciate not having to navigate to the front end in order to view/edit profiles. Performance improvements are also a major focus in this release, as Boone Gorges is working on <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5349\" target=\"_blank\">refactoring the Activity query</a> and implementing persistent caching for the components.</p>\n<p>The BuddyPress documentation team is <a href=\"http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/the-codex-into-2014/\" target=\"_blank\">gearing up for another push</a> to expand codex articles and refactor the &#8220;Getting Started&#8221; section into a &#8220;User&#8217;s Manual.&#8221; Boone Gorges is also heading up an <a href=\"http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/inline-documentation-initiative/\" target=\"_blank\">initiative</a> to improve BuddyPress&#8217; inline documentation coverage. If you can help document the plugin&#8217;s many action and filter hooks, please get in touch.</p>\n<p>BuddyPress 2.0 is shaping up to be an exciting release. There&#8217;s a lot going on under the hood that will help the plugin perform better. Community management within the admin is on track for big improvements as well.

During the core development meeting today, the plugin was approved to be merged into the WordPress trunk. The days of editing widgets blind will soon be over, as widget editing with live previews will now be a native part of the WordPress publishing experience.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/widget-actions.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16348]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/widget-actions.png\" alt=\"widget-actions\" width=\"1190\" height=\"894\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15709\" /></a></p>\n<p>Weston Ruter, the project&#8217;s lead developer, submitted a detailed <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/01/28/widget-customizer-feature-as-plugin-merge-proposal/\" target=\"_blank\">proposal</a> on the new feature last week. After several rounds of feedback and testing, the feature needs only a few minor adjustments and a bit more polishing in the accessibility department before making its debut in WordPress 3.9.</p>\n<h3>What Can You Do With The Widget Customizer?</h3>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tested the plugin yet, prepare to be impressed. The widget customizer offers live previews for every action associated with widgets, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Editing existing widgets</li>\n<li>Adding a new widget</li>\n<li>Reordering widgets</li>\n<li>Dragging widgets to other sidebars</li>\n<li>Removing widgets entirely</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Widgets have long been one of the most user-friendly and approachable features in WordPress. The original WordPress widgets feature was actually first built as a plugin and then brought into core. When Matt Mullenweg first introduced widgets in <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2007/05/wordpress-22/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress 2.2 (Getz)</a>, he described their purpose:</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The new widget customizer feature seems like a natural fit for the original intent to help users customize their sites more easily. Where would WordPress be without widgets? It&#8217;s safe to say that without this feature it would not be the CMS powerhouse that it is today. With live previews now on deck for every aspect of widget management, WordPress users will wonder how they ever lived without the widget customizer.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:58:55 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:88:\"WPTavern: Prevent Publishing Mishaps In WordPress With The Publisher Confirmation Plugin\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16338\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:220:\"http://wptavern.com/prevent-publishing-mishaps-in-wordpress-with-the-publisher-confirmation-plugin?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=prevent-publishing-mishaps-in-wordpress-with-the-publisher-confirmation-plugin\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1982:\"<p>As I was writing a post the other night, I mistakenly clicked the publish button thinking it would update the post.

There are no configuration options. After the plugin is activated, when you click the Publish button, a dialogue box will open confirming if you&#8217;d like the post to be published or not. The plugin hasn&#8217;t been updated in 2 years so you&#8217;ll see a warning box on the plugin directory when searching for it.

Plugins are often on the forefront of WordPress housekeeping lists. This is probably due to the fact that on a normal WordPress site you&#8217;re usually running just one theme and then multiple, sometimes dozens, of plugins. Unused plugins in the mix make it inconvenient to scroll through the list and troubleshoot conflicts. They can also pose a security risk if they&#8217;re not updated.</p>\n<p>But what about themes? Cleaning out your WordPress themes directory is just as important as plugin housekeeping. The current WordPress download package comes with three default themes pre-installed: Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Thirteen and Twenty Twelve. You may even have Twenty Eleven left over on your site, along with themes you&#8217;ve previously tested.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/800px-themes.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16288]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/800px-themes.png\" alt=\"800px-themes\" width=\"800\" height=\"548\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16297\" /></a></p>\n<p>Chances are that you won&#8217;t need all of these. Any theme not in use has got to go &#8211; with one important exception: a default theme for fallback. You can always re-install a theme further down the road if you decide you need it.</p>\n<p>Trying on a bunch of themes and then leaving them in your themes directory is somewhat akin to leaving your clothes all over the floor, instead of putting them in the laundry bin. When it comes to WordPress themes, however, this careless practice can have some serious consequences.</p>\n<h3>WordPress Themes Can Be An Entry Point For Hackers</h3>\n<p>Because WordPress is now powering more than 1 in 5 websites on the internet, WordPress sites are a prime target for hackers and spammers. If your site isn&#8217;t secure, hackers can use your themes as entry points. They&#8217;ve studied WordPress themes and know how to take advantage of them to forge an all-out attack on your site, your server and its resources.</p>\n<p>Hackers may insert malicious files or edits to your theme to try to hijack your site. Sometimes they get in through vulnerable scripts, as was the case with the historic <a href=\"http://markmaunder.com/2011/08/01/zero-day-vulnerability-in-many-wordpress-themes/\" target=\"_blank\">timthumb.php attack in 2011</a>, which posed a serious security risk for millions of WordPress sites using themes bundled with the script.</p>\n<p>Once a hack is successful, you&#8217;ll spend more time than you&#8217;d like in unraveling what they&#8217;ve done and convincing your host to turn your site back on.</p>\n<h3>WordPress Theme Housekeeping Checklist</h3>\n<p>Outdated versions of WordPress, themes and plugins are the most common cause of hacked sites. At the very least, you&#8217;ll want to keep everything up to date. Enabling <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/how-to-configure-automatic-core-updates-for-wordpress-3-7\" target=\"_blank\">automatic background updates</a> is a great way to stay current, especially for sites that you own but rarely visit.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a checklist of what you can do right now to clean out your WordPress themes directory:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove all unused WordPress themes (with the exception of one default for fallback)</li>\n<li>Update any themes that you are keeping</li>\n<li>Make sure <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions\" target=\"_blank\">permissions</a> on your wp-content and themes directories are 0755</li>\n<li>Enable automatic background updates</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This checklist should have you covered for the basics, but more advanced measures can be put in place if you&#8217;re keen on exploring additional security options.

What a busy week it&#8217;s been for the WordPress Plugin Repository! A lot of plugin developer &#8220;<em>New Years Resolutions</em>&#8221; are starting to bear fruit and are being released into the repository this week after a long month of development. We have a good sampling of fruit this week. Today it&#8217;s about <strong>Maps, Mobility, Menus, Money and Maintenance</strong>. Let&#8217;s get plugged in!</p>\n<h3>Overlay Multiple Location Markers on a Map as Custom Post Types</h3>\n<p>For a few months I have been working on a business/industry directory site using a premium directory theme from ThemeForest and some custom programming. The theme worked well for about 6 weeks until suddenly it broke. The developer vanished off the face of the Earth. As my fellow theme buyers gathered with their pitchforks and torches, the entire theme was removed from ThemeForest due to lack of support. I&#8217;ve not been able to find the same functionality for maps <strong>until now</strong>.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-31.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16271]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16276\" alt=\"gMap Point List\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-31-300x188.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" /></a><strong><a title=\"gMap Point List\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/gmap-point-list/\" target=\"_blank\">Gmap Point List</a></strong> by Rafel Sans is a plugin that lets you create your own jQuery based map from the Google Maps API and then overlay your pins, or &#8220;<em>markers</em>&#8221; on top of the map. Each of the markers represents a custom post type that contains the data about the specific location. Because it is a custom post type, there is no limit to the data fields that are available when compiling data about a specific business listing. Pins can be added with address, lat/long Geo-coordinates or simply dropped on the map. The plugin is new and the documentation is currently only available in Spanish, but it was simple enough to use without it.</p>\n<h3>How Much is a BitCoin Worth Anyway?</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-11.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16271]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16281\" alt=\"BitCoin Exchage Rate\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-11.png\" width=\"219\" height=\"143\" /></a>I&#8217;ve seen several BitCoin based plugins float by in the repository lately. There are several donation widgets that accept it, but I&#8217;m always resorting to a Google search to figure out exactly what my coins are worth. In comes the <a title=\"BitCoin Exchange Widget\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/btc-exchange-widget/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BTC Exchange Widget</strong></a>. This is a quick and easy widget that adds an area for visitors to enter the amount of BitCoins and select their preferred exchange currency, such as USD for US Dollars. In just one click, the current exchange rate is provided. While I am personally still a bit of a skeptic when it comes to BitCoin, fans of this virtual currency should find this plugin useful.</p>\n<h3>Preview Your Posts as a Tablet or Mobile device in one click!</h3>\n<p>Responsive design was supposed to make our lives easier. Instead of having to create a different mobile and tablet theme, the responsive set was billed as the end-all of design. While that advancement has certainly warranted applause, creating responsive content has not gotten much easier. This is mostly due to our inability to view our content as it would look on a device. Enter <a title=\"Responsive Post Preview\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-post-preview/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Responsive Post Preview</strong></a> by Jake Bresnehan. This plugin provides an easy, quick way to test how your content looks at various sizes.</p>\n<p><strong>Have a look at the demo, straight from the developer.</strong></p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"></span></p>\n<p>This plugin will undoubtedly save a lot of time when in development mode. The instant view provided by Response Post Preview may be something that will find its way into WordPress Core functionality sooner than later.</p>\n<h3>A clean, responsive way to show a site is still under construction.</h3>\n<p>In the old days, we used an animated GIF of a construction tractor to show the world a site was not ready for public viewing. While that may have worked well in 2005, a domain today is considered a valuable web property. Every single site viewer should be seen as a potential lead or subscriber. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to provide as much information as possible on your &#8220;<em>Coming Soon</em>&#8221; page. Even though the site isn&#8217;t ready, you can still connect with your audience.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-41.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16271]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16283\" alt=\"Easy Maintenance Mode Coming Soon\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-41-300x142.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"142\" /></a>The <a title=\"Easy Maintenance Mode\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-maintenance-mode-coming-soon/\"><strong>Easy Maintenance Mode</strong></a> plugin allows to you quickly create a maintenance or under construction page. Upon plugin activation you are presented with a few options to get you going, including Facebook, Twitter and Google+ connectivity options, HTML-enabled text area, customization of the background, fonts, colors and style. The plugin is also responsive, allowing you to provide the same message social connections across any platform. The great thing about this plugin is that a logged-in user does not see the &#8220;<em>Coming Soon</em>&#8221; screen. If you&#8217;re working on the site and are logged in, you will see the site as you normally would. But if you are a random page surfer or not logged in, you see the maintenance page.</p>\n<h3>Adding Custom Icons to your Category Widget.</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-111.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16271]\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-16285\" alt=\"Category List Icons\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-111-263x300.png\" width=\"216\" height=\"247\" /></a>The recently released plugin <a title=\"Category List Icon\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/category-list-icon/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Category List Icon</strong></a> by Hasan Rang provides functionality to add an icon for your categories. I&#8217;ve often seen commercial sites that categorize their news with an icon. Now I can have it for myself, and so can you! The plugin provides options for custom category icon sizes and custom CSS for each of the category icon items. This can provide an added punch to a theme from a design perspective. The subtle, yet contextual icons can help your users identify content and navigate through your site accordingly. Page views matter to Google. Present your viewers with rich, content-related icons to navigate your site and you&#8217;ll be rewarded with a better looking sidebar category widget as well!</p>\n<h3>Need Custom Icons for a Responsive Display? Check this out!</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-21.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16271]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-16287\" alt=\"Mobile Optimizer Menu\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-21-77x150.png\" width=\"77\" height=\"150\" /></a><a title=\"Unite Mobile Optimizer Menu\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/unite-mobile-optimizer-menu/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Unite Mobile Optimizer Menu</strong></a> by Amit Keren lets you create a sliding icon list for mobile site viewers. Like the category icon plugin above, you can set up your own custom images and icons for the mobile menu. I found this among the easier mobile menu plugins that I have tested out.

The pillar sponsorship program is a package setup by WordCamp Central that enables businesses to sponsor multiple WordCamp events without having to go through the hassle of sponsoring them individually.</p>\n<p>WordCamp organizers will have a little less to worry about when it comes to funding for their event. WiredTree has upped the ante and will be <a title=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/news/2014/01/31/wiredtree-sponsors-every-wordcamp-in-north-america-for-2014/\" href=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/news/2014/01/31/wiredtree-sponsors-every-wordcamp-in-north-america-for-2014/\">sponsoring all North American based WordCamps</a> in 2014. I got in touch with WiredTree and asked them why they became a pillar sponsor and if sponsoring WordCamps has led to more customers.</p>\n<p>It turns out that the relationship between WordCamps and Wiredtree began at WordCamp Chicago 2013. A client of theirs reached out to Wiredtree on Twitter and asked if they would like to sponsor the event since they were a happy user of both. Zac Cogswell, President of WiredTree agreed that it would be a great fit.</p>\n<blockquote><p>WordPress is the most widely deployed CMS system across our network and many of our clients are actively involved in the WordPress community. Our support team uses it daily so we have a lot of operational experience we can share. WordCamp in particular being non-profit and locally-organized looked like a great way to support the community.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Wiredtree had such a great experience sponsoring WordCamp Chicago, they later went on to sponsor WordCamp Grand Rapids, MI along with a few other events. Getting to connect with clients face-to-face has been invaluable to the company. I then asked Zac whether sponsoring WordCamps correlated with an increase in new customers:</p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s too early yet to say what the effect will be as we&#8217;re coming up on the second WordCamp of the year in Dayton, OH, but I can say that feedback on social media has been positive. WordCamp attendees are very passionate folks and we&#8217;re passionate about hosting so we think it will go well. In any event, we&#8217;re just happy to be a part of it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I personally want to thank <a title=\"http://www.wiredtree.com/\" href=\"http://www.wiredtree.com/\">Wiredtree</a> for sponsoring all North American based WordCamps during 2014. The less headaches WordCamp organizers have the better.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 05 Feb 2014 14:00:04 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:49:\"WordPress.tv: Kameron Williams: Design For Humans\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=30601\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"http://wordpress.tv/2014/02/05/kameron-williams-design-for-humans/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:653:\"<div id=\"v-0c6tdIL3-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div><br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/30601/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/30601/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=30601&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2014/02/05/kameron-williams-design-for-humans/\"><img alt=\"Kameron Williams: Design For Humans\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/0c6tdIL3/video-2855cb23a4_scruberthumbnail_1.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:34:22 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:64:\"WPTavern: How to Set Up Email Alerts For Topics on WordPress.org\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16242\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:172:\"http://wptavern.com/how-to-set-up-email-alerts-for-topics-on-wordpress-org?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-set-up-email-alerts-for-topics-on-wordpress-org\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2641:\"<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/alerts.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16242]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/alerts.jpg\" alt=\"alerts\" width=\"1015\" height=\"561\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16258\" /></a><br />\nDid you know that you can set up notifications for topics on <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress.org</a>?

There are so many useful things you can do with the email alerts to keep you informed on community discussions without having to read everything. You can use your account to set up alerts for mentions of your own plugins, themes or topics that you are interested in following. If you are wanting to help out with support in the forums and have a particular area of expertise, you might consider adding it as a search string. If there are new features that you&#8217;re hoping will be added to core, you can use alerts to follow discussions on those topics.</p>\n<p>Nobody has the time to read everything that happens on the WordPress.org ecosystem. Signing up for alerts is a strategic way to keep yourself in the conversation without having to dig for the references.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 05 Feb 2014 05:38:26 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:19;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"WPTavern: Moments: A Free Responsive WordPress Theme With Post Formats Support\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16147\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:198:\"http://wptavern.com/moments-a-free-responsive-wordpress-theme-with-post-formats-support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=moments-a-free-responsive-wordpress-theme-with-post-formats-support\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3035:\"<p>The folks at Site5 have just added a new theme to their growing collection of <a href=\"http://www.s5themes.com/themes/\" target=\"_blank\">free WordPress themes</a>.

A few of the highlights include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Widget ready sidebar</li>\n<li>Support for all Post Formats</li>\n<li>Custom Logo and Favicon support</li>\n<li>Custom fonts via Google Webfont typography options</li>\n<li>Built-in Pagination</li>\n<li>Social icons</li>\n<li>jQuery PrettyPhoto Lightbox</li>\n<li>Built-in thumbnail regeneration</li>\n</ul>\n<p>View a <a href=\"http://demo.s5themes.com/?theme=moments\" target=\"_blank\">live demo</a> to see Moments in action.</p>\n<p>SIte5 offers the demo XML for download so that you can try the theme with the demo content in place. Moments, like all Site5 themes, comes with <a href=\"http://www.s5themes.com/documentation/moments/\" target=\"_blank\">excellent documentation</a>. As a hosting company, they probably understand the value of documentation in mitigating the number of support requests related to common problems. I&#8217;m guessing that&#8217;s also why they&#8217;ve built thumbnail regeneration into the theme, since that tends to be a frequent issue for users when activating new themes. Site5 also offers a <a href=\"http://www.s5themes.com/forums/discussion/moments/\" target=\"_blank\">support forum</a>, should you have any issues with the theme.</p>\n<p>If you decide to use this theme, I would not recommend using the Stat Code option in the theme settings. It&#8217;s better to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/why-you-should-never-add-analytics-code-to-your-wordpress-theme\" target=\"_blank\">put Google analytics or other tracking codes in a plugin</a> for data portability. When you change themes it&#8217;s too easy to forget that your tracking code was in the theme settings.</p>\n<p>With all the discussion lately about <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/why-arent-post-formats-in-wordpress-more-popular\" target=\"_blank\">why more people don&#8217;t make use of post formats</a>, it&#8217;s refreshing to see themes showcase this feature in a beautiful way. Perhaps WordPress themes with well-designed post formats will inspire more users to learn how to use them in blogging. Moments does a nice job of spotlighting this feature.

WordPress.org is not yet suited to handle a large userbase of groups with varied interests. I call areas of the community where these groups congregate, <em>watering holes</em>. One example of such a place is Reddit.</p>\n<h3>Casual WordPress News and Support</h3>\n<p><a title=\"http://www.reddit.com/\" href=\"http://www.reddit.com/\">Reddit.com</a>, a popular news sharing website is more than just technology news. The site covers a number of topics called subreddits. One of those is <a title=\"http://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress\" href=\"http://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress\">dedicated to WordPress</a>. Over the past few months, I&#8217;ve noticed this is a popular hangout for WordPress developers and community members. I&#8217;ve seen everything from support questions answered to developers creating a plugin in their spare time because someone requested it. This watering hole is filled with helpful people. I&#8217;ve yet to see a WordPress thread filled with bashing or derogatory statements towards an individual.</p>\n<h3>Advanced WordPress Topics</h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_16201\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/ProWordPressOnReddit.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16186]\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-16201\" alt=\"Pro WordPress Subreddit\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/ProWordPressOnReddit-500x196.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"196\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advanced WordPress Topics On Reddit</p></div>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in more advanced WordPress topics, Brad Williams created a subreddit called <a title=\"http://www.reddit.com/r/ProWordPress/\" href=\"http://www.reddit.com/r/ProWordPress/\">ProWordPress</a>. The list is moderated by <strong>Brad Williams, Travis Northcutt, and Michael Beckwith</strong>. All three are respected members of the WordPress community. Please don&#8217;t submit WordPress support questions to this subreddit. Instead, use the <a title=\"http://wordpress.org/support/\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/\">WordPress.org support forum</a>.</p>\n<p>I asked Brad why he created a separate WordPress subreddit instead of using the existing one.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Because I wanted a smaller, focused subreddit for these advanced topics. Beginners won&#8217;t stumble into r/ProWordPress and if they do they will quickly realize it&#8217;s not the subreddit for them.</p></blockquote>\n<h3>Does Using Reddit Equal More Traffic?</h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve rarely seen an increase in traffic due to Reddit with one exception. When Sarah Gooding published an article announcing <a title=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-core-adopts-sass-css-preprocessor\" href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-core-adopts-sass-css-preprocessor\">WordPress had adopted the Sass CSS Pre-processor</a> WPTavern experienced a large bump in traffic. There were over <a title=\"http://redd.it/1qo3bk\" href=\"http://redd.it/1qo3bk\">20 upvotes</a> on the WordPress subreddit along with a few comments. Because of the technical nature of the article and the technology focused users of Reddit the article did well. For the most part, content submitted to the site averages 1-5 upvotes amounting to very little traffic.</p>\n<h3>Subreddits Are Like Forums</h3>\n<p>Reddit is an enormous community of activity. Subreddits provide a place for like minded individuals to gather and discuss a particular subject without the crowd noise from the Reddit front page. I&#8217;ve never been a fan of Reddit but since I&#8217;ve discovered areas dedicated to WordPress, I&#8217;ve become an avid user. The thing I like most about subreddits is that they&#8217;re similar to forums. I love the community atmosphere of well run forums and I feel a similar vibe from the WordPress subreddit. If you&#8217;re going to participate on Reddit, I encourage you to read their <a title=\"http://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette\" href=\"http://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette\">reddiquette page</a>. This document outlines how to stay within the good graces of the community.</p>\n<h3>The Tavern As A Watering Hole</h3>\n<p>My hope is when the WPTavern forums make their return, they will once again be a friendly watering hole where people can relax and talk WordPress. The community surrounding WPTavern is one of the primary reasons the site has been so successful.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a good place to hang out and talk WordPress, consider both WordPress subreddits. Just make sure to follow the rules and don&#8217;t even think about using Reddit for self-promotion.</p>\n<p><strong>Where are your favorite places on the web to hangout and talk WordPress?</strong></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:27:43 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:21;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:75:\"WPTavern: Sandbox Plugin Creates a WordPress Test Environment in Two Clicks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16179\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:194:\"http://wptavern.com/sandbox-plugin-creates-a-wordpress-test-environment-in-two-clicks?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sandbox-plugin-creates-a-wordpress-test-environment-in-two-clicks\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6568:\"<div id=\"attachment_16183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/large_3368937938.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16179]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/large_3368937938.jpg\" alt=\"photo credit: Blixt A. - cc\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16183\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr-blixt/3368937938/\">Blixt A.</a> &#8211; <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/\">cc</a></p></div>\n<p>A test environment for your WordPress site is an important part of being able to ensure smooth updates. It also allows you to test new plugins and themes without affecting visitors. However, creating an exact copy of your site in the same environment is no simple task. There are many commercial plugins and WordPress hosts who offer one click staging environments, but an easy-to-use free option has been somewhat elusive until now.</p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;d like to take you on a tour of the new <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/sandbox/\" target=\"_blank\">Sandbox</a> plugin, which is now available on WordPress.org. With just two clicks, this plugin creates an exact copy of your WordPress site on your existing hosting provider. The staging environment is completely independent of your site and is hidden from visitors and search engines. The Sandbox plugin also gives you the ability to create multiple sandboxes in order to test different iterations of your site and/or its extensions.</p>\n<h3>How Sandbox Works</h3>\n<p>I tested the plugin and can confirm that it does exactly what it says it will do. Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sandbox copies your database tables into a new set of tables with a different prefix.</li>\n<li>Data within the new database tables are updated to reflect the sandbox prefix</li>\n<li>Sandbox copies all files a new folder under the sandbox directory.</li>\n<li>The plugin updates the configuration file within the sandbox to support the unique sandbox database prefix</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick walkthrough of setting up Sandbox on a live site. Once you activate the plugin, a new Sandbox menu item is added to the admin where you can create your first test site. The plugin will warn you to backup your site before proceeding.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/add-new-sandbox.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16179]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/add-new-sandbox.jpg\" alt=\"add-new-sandbox\" width=\"822\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16190\" /></a></p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll be asked to fill in the details for your test site. Simple enough, right?</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/create-sandbox.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16179]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/create-sandbox.jpg\" alt=\"create-sandbox\" width=\"762\" height=\"341\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16192\" /></a></p>\n<p>The plugin gives you updates as it is creating your test site and will confirm its success at the end of the process. This may take a few minutes, depending on how large your site is.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/creating-sandbox.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16179]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/creating-sandbox.jpg\" alt=\"creating-sandbox\" width=\"485\" height=\"232\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16197\" /></a></p>\n<p>Once you activate your new sandbox, you&#8217;ll be navigating your test site within your browser. An alert box at the top will let you know which site you&#8217;re on and there&#8217;s a link that takes you back to your live site at any time.</p>\n<h3>Concerns and Feedback</h3>\n<p>Sandbox is not a perfect plugin, by any means, but I think it&#8217;s an excellent starting place that could develop into a solution for setting up quick test environments. My chief concern, however, is that it&#8217;s difficult to know when you&#8217;re in the sandbox, despite the notice at the top. The URL doesn&#8217;t change and your test site is virtually indistinguishable from the production site. One improvement I&#8217;d suggest is a larger, more prominent notice that makes it clear which site you&#8217;re navigating.</p>\n<p>Additionally, if you&#8217;re actively using the plugin, it will make your backups enormous, due to all the extra tables in your database. Each sandbox you add will add its own set of tables and this can really add up when testing multiple iterations of your site. The plugin does not remove the extra tables it created within your database when you deactivate and delete it. The good thing is that you can delete the extra tables be deleting your sandboxes when you have no further use for them.</p>\n<p>I tested a small blog site and it seemed to take a little while to set up a sandbox. This is understandable, given how much work it is doing behind the scenes. However, I have little hope of the plugin working on larger sites without timing out.</p>\n<p>What I love about Sandbox is that you don&#8217;t have to go through the process of copying files down to a local test environment that may not perfectly match your production server. I also appreciate the fact that it&#8217;s so easy to use and has a very low barrier for entry. WordPress users who otherwise might never explore a staging environment can easily handle the setup process of the Sandbox plugin.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/medium_2715060136.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16179]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/medium_2715060136-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"medium_2715060136\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-16207\" /></a>Stepping into your new WordPress sandbox does have a certain thrill akin to squishing your toes into sand. You know that if you break anything, it&#8217;s just sand after all. The Sandbox plugin makes it simple to test updates to your site&#8217;s plugins, themes and core. You can also use it to test plugin conflicts without turning off the lights on your production site. Simply create a new test site and go to town, disabling plugins one at a time.

Many cool new plugins have found their way into the repository in the last few days. Today we check out plugins for PayPal donations, Admin notes in individual posts, User Profile Links, User Profile Meta and a fun motivational plugin called WP Grass.</p>\n<p>Remember to use a staging site if you choose to take these plugins for a test drive. Using brand new, untested plugins on a live site can have bad consequences. Make sure you create a backup before activating any of these plugins to a live site. You&#8217;ll be glad you did if things go bad. That being said, let&#8217;s get plugged in!</p>\n<h3>Everything but the car in the yard on cinder blocks.</h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_16120\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wp-grass2.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16018]\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-16120\" alt=\"Infrequent Content = Overgrown grass!\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wp-grass2-300x187.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Infrequent Content = Overgrown grass!</p></div>\n<p>It&#8217;s not difficult to spot the neighbor on your block that doesn&#8217;t take very good care of their lawn. With one glance, it&#8217;s quite clear who doesn&#8217;t maintain their property. <strong><a title=\"WP Grass\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-grass/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Grass</a></strong> uses the same &#8220;<strong>overgrown grass</strong>&#8221; concept to help motivate you to keep your home page filled with fresh content. When you frequently update the content on your site, the plugin shows a freshly cut lawn at the footer. The longer the time period between content, the higher the grass will get in the footer! This plugin is a good motivator that may help you to keep your blog properly maintained with fresh content.</p>\n<h3>Grant someone a key without sacrificing the castle.</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/user-profile-meta.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16018]\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-16125 alignleft\" alt=\"User Profile Meta\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/user-profile-meta-300x226.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" /></a>There are many times in which I would like to grant an individual user specific capabilities on my site, but don&#8217;t want to go through the hassle of creating a new user role. <strong><a title=\"User Profile Meta\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-profile-meta/\" target=\"_blank\">User Profile Meta</a></strong> goes deep into the capabilities of a user without having to change their overall role. It allows you to edit existing user fields, create new fields, delete fields without having to refresh the page. Easily change common items like toolbar appearance, default editors and specific plugin access. Overall, I found this to be a very handy plugin to go into the finer details of a specific user.</p>\n<h3>What about having too many fields on your User Profile page?</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/profile-links.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16018]\"><img class=\"wp-image-16019 alignleft\" alt=\"Profile Links\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/profile-links-300x219.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" /> </a><strong><a title=\"Profile Links\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/profile-links/\" target=\"_blank\">Profile Links</a></strong> provides easy to use functionality when it comes to the user profile page. If you&#8217;re like me and have a lot of different plugins that add to the user profile page, you know what a pain it can be to locate specific fields that need to be modified. Profile Links creates a quick jump list at the top of the user profile page for all of the different option groups in your profile. This plugin is probably overkill to those who have only a few users. However, I found this to be a convenience in navigating through the user profile pages on some of my more largely populated sites with over 30 users.</p>\n<h3>Leave a not-so-subtle note to your contributing users.</h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/user-note.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16018]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16127\" alt=\"Admin Page Notes\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/user-note-300x279.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" /></a></strong>There are many plugins out there that allow the administrator to leave notes to a user. I&#8217;ve used everything from bbPress notification messages to sidebar notes, and nothing has had the capabilities of this plugin.<a title=\"Admin Page Notes\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-page-notes/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong> Admin Page Notes</strong></a> lets the admin leave an HTML capable note to the user within the post or page editor on an individual post basis. Call it a poor man&#8217;s <a title=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\">Edit Flow</a>. For simple and effective placement of your message, this plugin is among the best I have seen. It works simply by adding a notation field in the post editor that only the administrator can see. No one but the administrator can edit or access the message. Because the area is also HTML capable, you are able to add research links or even further references to a story that your contributing user can use in their post.</p>\n<h3>Here&#8217;s a great plugin if you take PayPal donations.</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/paypal-donation.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16018]\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16130\" alt=\"PayPal Donation Plugin\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/paypal-donation-300x193.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" /></a>If you accept donations on your site, <strong><a title=\"PayPal Donation\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/paypal-donation/\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal Donation</a> </strong>may be a good solution. I found this to be more unique than other PayPal donation plugins. It has the ability to change images based on the current percentage of the funding goal. This would allow one to create a rising thermometer, a moving gauge or a scoreboard. Another unique trait found in this plugin is the feature of adding individual expenses. For an average blogger this could be items such as hosting and development expenses. It would also be an outstanding plugin for charities and specific goal fundraising. This is one worth test driving if you want a dynamic, changing display of your donation drive.</p>\n<p><strong>Let me know your impressions and results of the plugins talked about here!

His interview includes some interesting topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A quick overview of how WordPress was born</li>\n<li>How Automattic was created</li>\n<li>Why Mullenweg recently switched roles with Toni Schneider</li>\n<li>Open communication and collaborative process for Automattic employees</li>\n<li>Why Automattic uses trials for hiring</li>\n<li>How company size impacts growth</li>\n<li>Establishing company culture with remote workers</li>\n</ul>\n<p>One particular part that I found to be interesting was how Mullenweg had initially kept Automattic artificially small during the early days, for fear of losing the efficiency and excitement the company had developed. During the interview he says that he was surprised by how Automattic has been able to maintain the same culture while expanding to offer more prompt attention to every aspect of its products and support.  When discussing the organization&#8217;s growth, Mullenweg says,<strong> &#8220;Nothing great I&#8217;ve ever done has ever been alone.

John O&#8217;Nolan, the project&#8217;s creator, originally <a href=\"http://john.onolan.org/project-ghost/\" target=\"_blank\">introduced</a> the idea of his pure blogging platform as a &#8220;WordPress-lite fork.&#8221; After a great deal of deliberation, O&#8217;Nolan <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/what-wordpress-can-learn-from-the-ghost-project\" target=\"_blank\">decided not to fork WordPress</a> and instead opted to built his application on Node.js, powered by the Express framework.</p>\n<p>The Ghost tagline <em>&#8220;Just a Blogging Platform&#8221;</em> is essentially a reaction to WordPress&#8217; <em>&#8220;Just another WordPress site,&#8221;</em> and a departure from what O&#8217;Nolan perceived to be an increasingly CMS-focused WordPress core. After a successful round of funding on <a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnonolan/ghost-just-a-blogging-platform\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter</a>, with more than $100,000 raised in the first 48 hours, Ghost was able to break out on its own. The project tapped into the growing demand for simplicity in blogging software. Ghost fans don&#8217;t want it to do everything; they simply want to publish blogs.</p>\n<h2>Introducing Gust: A Ghost Style Publishing Admin For WordPress</h2>\n<p>There were some in the WordPress camp who were disappointed that the project would not be continuing on as a fork, as Ghost would have been an appealing &#8220;flavor&#8221; of WordPress for users who don&#8217;t need a CMS. A few WordPress plugin developers were excited about some of Ghost concepts and have produced plugins that bring those into WordPress. <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/gust/\" target=\"_blank\">Gust</a> is one in particular that caught my eye.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://profiles.wordpress.org/ideag/\" target=\"_blank\">Arūnas Liuiza</a> has been slowly adding Ghost-style functionality to the Gust plugin ever since he released it on WordPress.org in mid-December of 2013. His objective for the plugin is to bring a Ghost-inspired, clean admin panel into WordPress for users who want to focus on blogging.</p>\n<p>Gust re-imagines the WordPress admin panel to feature posts.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-dashboard.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16038]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-dashboard.png\" alt=\"gust-dashboard\" width=\"1358\" height=\"653\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16057\" /></a></p>\n<p>The plugin adds markdown, a word count and live previews to the WordPress post editor. If the viewport is too small to display both panels, the live preview is then tabbed:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-post-editor.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16038]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-post-editor.png\" alt=\"gust-post-editor\" width=\"1358\" height=\"653\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16065\" /></a></p>\n<p>The new post tagging interface is one of the recent additions to the plugin. Its unobtrusive place at the bottom of the screen keeps the focus on content creation in the main part of the viewport.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tagging-interface.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16038]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tagging-interface.png\" alt=\"tagging-interface\" width=\"466\" height=\"247\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16071\" /></a></p>\n<p>The post settings at the bottom of the editor allow you to easily edit the time published, post slug and delete, if necessary.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-delete.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16038]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-delete.jpg\" alt=\"gust-delete\" width=\"1096\" height=\"586\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16072\" /></a></p>\n<p>The Gust plugin also adds a themed login page that sports a Ghost-inspired design:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-login.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16038]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gust-login.png\" alt=\"gust-login\" width=\"855\" height=\"335\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16068\" /></a></p>\n<p>Gust is an unofficial port of Ghost features to WordPress, which is why it adopted the slightly modified name. Its capabilities currently include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Posts/Pages Markdown editor</li>\n<li>Media upload integration</li>\n<li>Post tags support</li>\n<li>Post category support</li>\n<li>Post scheduling support</li>\n<li>Themed login page</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Notes on Testing Gust</h3>\n<p>Gust requires PHP 5.3 or higher. After you install the plugin, it may seem like it&#8217;s not working. That&#8217;s because there&#8217;s not yet an intuitive way to take users to the Gust admin panel. You get there by visiting: <strong>yourdomain.com/gust</strong>. Adding a button to the admin area to launch the Gust editing panel would help to make the plugin easier to use. However, once inside the Gust panel, I found the current features easy to use and free from major bugs.</p>\n<p>Liusiza plans to add a category manager in the upcoming 0.4 version of the plugin. He cautions that this is an early release, so some features, such as categories and support for featured images, are not yet present. If Gust is able to gain enough interest, he will add these features in a future release.</p>\n<p>I would like to see Gust presented with a more unique design that isn&#8217;t a wholesale copy of the Ghost editor, but that&#8217;s a matter of preference, not function. Overall, I like what Arūnas Liuiza has done with <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/gust/\" target=\"_blank\">Gust</a>. If he continues to further develop and support it, the plugin will no doubt become a solid option for streamlining the WordPress admin for bloggers.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:55:12 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:28;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: New Site Highlights Acts Of Kindness In The WordPress Community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=16043\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:190:\"http://wptavern.com/new-site-highlights-acts-of-kindness-in-the-wordpress-community?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-site-highlights-acts-of-kindness-in-the-wordpress-community\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3978:\"<p><a title=\"http://wpkindness.com/\" href=\"http://wpkindness.com/\">WPKindness</a> is a site devoted to sharing acts of kindness that have taken place throughout the WordPress community. The site is powered by <a href=\"http://headwaythemes.com/\">Headway</a>, <a href=\"http://www.gravityforms.com/\">Gravity Forms</a>, <a href=\"http://wp-types.com/\">Toolset</a> and <a title=\"http://www.wordpress.org\" href=\"http://www.wordpress.org\">WordPress</a>. To report an act of kindness, visit <a title=\"http://wpkindness.com/submit-an-act-of-kindness/\" href=\"http://wpkindness.com/submit-an-act-of-kindness/\">their submission page</a> and fill out the necessary details. Near the end of the submission form is a radio button where users can sign up to an infrequent newsletter. I asked the sites creator Ryan Bell what information would in the newsletter: &#8220;<em>I would send out a newsletter once or twice a month with my favorite submissions</em>&#8220;.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/WPKindnesslogo.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[16043]\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16049\" alt=\"WP Kindness Logo\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/WPKindnesslogo.jpg\" width=\"542\" height=\"140\" /></a></p>\n<p>The site is a great idea but things become fuzzy once you read <a title=\"http://wpkindness.com/terms-of-service/\" href=\"http://wpkindness.com/terms-of-service/\">their terms of service</a>. The only problem I see is with number three &#8220;<em>You understand wpkindness.com might use an affiliate link to the company you are submitting about.</em>&#8220;. I am torn on whether this is good or bad.</p>\n<p>The way I see it, an affiliate link within an act of kindness report is almost the same as a great product review. Visitors that come across these links may make purchases based on those reports. If I report an act of kindness, I&#8217;m not sure I like the idea of someone else making money off my report. I have to admit, it&#8217;s an ingenious way of generating affiliate income if he can get a lot of people to submit acts of kindness that have occurred with companies. Ryan tells me that although there are no affiliate links on the site now, he wanted to cover his bases in case he wanted to use them to monetize the site in the future.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I would probably only do it for products I have used and feel are great products. If the site starts to be used a lot by the community and is an asset I don&#8217;t see why I shouldn&#8217;t be able to find a way to monetize it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been on the receiving end of many acts of kindness but I&#8217;ve mostly used Twitter, forums, or a blog post to thank them. I appreciate Ryan&#8217;s goal for the site.</p>\n<blockquote><p>There is always someone willing to help you figure out how to make your site do what you want it to do with WordPress. I wanted to give those people recognition, whether it is a theme shop, hosting platform, plugin developer, or just a human who loves WordPress. My desire is for this to be a place where people can come and brag about the awesome people in the WordPress community and in turn build loyalty for that brand.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how many people share acts of kindness they have received from members of the WordPress community. It&#8217;s a great idea but the possible use of affiliate links on reports makes me uncomfortable. I&#8217;m not against Ryan making money, but I don&#8217;t think adding affiliate links into submitted content is the right way to go about it. I&#8217;d have a blog attached to the site and create content that correlates with the submissions. Then use affiliate links within those posts.</p>\n<h3>Help Ryan Out:</h3>\n<p>Ryan is seeking recommendations from the community on what they would like to see on the site. Also, if you have any ideas on how Ryan could monetize WPKindness without manipulating submissions, let us know in the comments.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:33:42 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:37:\"WPTavern: Would You Attend A WooCamp?\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=15235\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:116:\"http://wptavern.com/would-you-attend-a-woocamp?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=would-you-attend-a-woocamp\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1898:\"<p>The WordPress Meetup group in San Francisco recently held their first WooCommerce meetup within the new Automattic Headquarters.

Nick is the creator of the Aesop <a href=\"http://aesopstories.com/story-engine/\" title=\"http://aesopstories.com/story-engine/\">Storytelling Engine</a>. We talked about the news of the week. Then, we launched into a great interview with Nick where he tells us what inspired him to create Aesop, how he got involved with WordPress, and what his plans are for the service now that it <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/aesop-wordpress-storytelling-plugin-is-now-fully-funded\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/aesop-wordpress-storytelling-plugin-is-now-fully-funded\">successfully completed</a> its crowd funding campaign. </p>\n<p>Marcus and I as well as the chatroom discussed potential use cases for Aesop that go above and beyond telling a story. For instance, the idea of using it to create a text-based game with images that can have multiple endings. Listen to the show and let us know in the comments what ideas you have for Aesop!</p>\n<h2>Stories Discussed:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-co-founder-mike-little-gets-his-own-wikipedia-page\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-co-founder-mike-little-gets-his-own-wikipedia-page\">WordPress Co-Founder Mike Little Gets His Own Wikipedia Page</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/industry-night-6-john-overall\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/industry-night-6-john-overall\">Industry Night #6 – Talking Shop with John Overall</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/high-demand-for-wordpress-education-prompts-treehouse-to-launch-new-beginners-course\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/high-demand-for-wordpress-education-prompts-treehouse-to-launch-new-beginners-course\">High Demand For WordPress Education Prompts Treehouse to Launch New Beginner’s Course</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/why-arent-post-formats-in-wordpress-more-popular\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/why-arent-post-formats-in-wordpress-more-popular\">Why Aren’t Post Formats In WordPress More Popular?</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/buddypress-2-0-to-add-profile-editing-in-the-wordpress-admin\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/buddypress-2-0-to-add-profile-editing-in-the-wordpress-admin\">BuddyPress 2.0 To Add Profile Editing in the WordPress Admin</a><br />\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/why-post-by-email-is-still-available-in-wordpress\" title=\"http://wptavern.com/why-post-by-email-is-still-available-in-wordpress\">Why Post By Email Is Still Available In WordPress</a></p>\n<h2>Plugins Picked By Marcus:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/layered-pop/\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/layered-pop/\">Layered Pop</a> by Ivan Churakov creates unique multi-layer popup windows for your website. You can create multiple layers with <em>whatever-you-want</em> content and add custom transitions/animations for each layer. You can initiate the popup window on page load or show it on a click event, like hitting a button on the sidebar. Full Site: <a href=\"http://layeredpopups.com/\" title=\"http://layeredpopups.com/\">http://layeredpopups.com/</a> CodeCanyon cost for the premium version is $16</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/agreeable/\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/agreeable/\">Agreeable</a> lets you add an &#8220;<strong>agree to terms</strong>&#8221; check box to your login and/or registration pages, requiring users to agree to your terms and conditions before logging in or registering. This allows you to set up your Terms of Use and Conditions page, which can be linked to from the login block. If they don’t check the box that they agree to the terms, they can’t log in! Works with BuddyPress as well. No longer will users or clients be able to claim ignorance about the rules and policies of the site! </p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/sandbox/\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/sandbox/\">Sandbox</a> is a plugin that can create a completely independent test site using existing hosting that is only available to administrators. With two simple clicks an entire testing site is created using your existing hosting provider. No more copying down to a complex local test setup or living dangerously on a live site.

The new Markdown module in <a href=\"http://jetpack.me/2014/01/31/jetpack-2-8-introducing-markdown-and-improving-monitor/\" target=\"_blank\">Jetpack 2.8</a> gives you the option to write and edit rich text without having to write code or reach for your mouse. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Markdown, here&#8217;s what it looks like:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/markdown.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15930]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/markdown.png\" alt=\"markdown\" width=\"600\" height=\"287\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15980\" /></a></p>\n<p>That transforms on the front end to look something like this:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/markdown-example.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15930]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/markdown-example.png\" alt=\"markdown-example\" width=\"600\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15985\" /></a></p>\n<p>Markdown fans will also be glad to know that this feature works on mobile, so you can continue using Markdown when blogging on the go. </p>\n<p>The Markdown module in Jetpack also includes all the same features available on WordPress.com, which allows fenced code blocks, inspired by <a href=\"https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub Flavored Markdown</a>. This produces code blocks within your content, nicely formatted to the language you specify. Jetpack users may even be able to do away with their syntax highlighting plugins in favor of using the new Markdown module.</p>\n<h3>Publicize Adds Support For Custom Post Types</h3>\n<p>The other major new feature in Jetpack 2.8 is the expansion of the Publicize module to support custom post types. This should be a relief for users who often publish new entries as a custom post type. Now you can automatically share those new posts to your social networks with one small tweak to the CPT’s &#8216;supports&#8217; array. The Jetpack team demonstrates the following example to enable the title, editor, Publicize and Markdown: </p>\n<pre>\'supports\' => array( \'title\', \'editor\', \'publicize\', \'wpcom-markdown\' ),</pre>\n<h3>Improvements to Monitor Module</h3>\n<p>Lastly, Jetpack&#8217;s Monitor module now includes the ability for you to add multiple email addresses for notifications of downtime on your site. This is very helpful for sites that have multiple people available to offer support. With more people getting the notices, you&#8217;re much more likely to to be able to tackle your downtime issues in a timely manner.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:23:17 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:38;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Matt: Hired Podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"http://ma.tt/?p=43482\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:35:\"http://ma.tt/2014/01/hired-podcast/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:238:\"<p>I spoke for about half an hour <a href=\"http://hired.fm/episode/16\">with Cameron Moll on his Hired podcast</a> about <a href=\"http://automattic.com/work-with-us/\">working at Automattic</a> and how we approach recruiting and hiring.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 31 Jan 2014 20:34:31 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Matt Mullenweg\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:39;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"WPTavern: Top 10 Free WordPress Blogging Themes From January 2014\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=15890\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:174:\"http://wptavern.com/top-10-free-wordpress-blogging-themes-from-january-2014?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=top-10-free-wordpress-blogging-themes-from-january-2014\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6964:\"<p>January has been a rocking month in the world of WordPress themes.

In 2009 <a title=\"http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/shorten/\" href=\"http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/shorten/\">he announced </a>he had obtained the only two letter .me domain in the world which is used as a URL shortener. The domain for his personal site is <a title=\"http://ma.tt/\" href=\"http://ma.tt/\">ma.tt</a>. Single letter domains are rare, highly valued, and expensive.</p>\n<h3>Project94</h3>\n<p><a title=\"http://www.project94.org/\" href=\"http://www.project94.org/\">Project94.org</a> is the allocation of 94 1-2 character .ORG domain names that have never been released for registration. Through GoDaddy and eNom, these names are made available to registrants who not only reflect the core attributes of the .ORG domain but also reinforce the trust and value of the .ORG brand. Their <a title=\"http://www.project94.org/about-project94/\" href=\"http://www.project94.org/about-project94/\">about page</a> has more information but the allocation of 1-2 character domains have been reserved since 1985 when .ORG was created.</p>\n<h3>The Purpose Of W.org</h3>\n<p>I confirmed with a source inside of GoDaddy that they are the ones who provided Matt the domain. Details concerning the transaction are private and the <a title=\"http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=w.org\" href=\"http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=w.org\">WHOIS information</a> shows no affiliation with Matt.</p>\n<p><a title=\"http://w.org\" href=\"http://w.org\">W.org</a> currently redirects to WordPress.org but is also used to host images and other static assets. I got in touch with Otto to see what the domain and sub-domains are being used for.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://s.w.org\">s.w.org</a> is where we&#8217;re serving static resources for the main website from. Things like images and CSS files and other such things that don&#8217;t go through PHP processes. If you examine the source of most any page on WordPress.org, you&#8217;ll see it uses <a href=\"http://s.w.org\">s.w.org</a> for a lot (not all, yet) of the static files displayed.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://ps.w.org\">ps.w.org</a> is for the plugin repository. We can use it for screenshots and the header banners and other images from the plugin system.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://ts.w.org\">ts.w.org</a> is for the theme repository.

While the menu system provides the means to add categories to a menu, it doesn&#8217;t contain a way to easily create a dropdown list of categories. Thankfully, there is an easy work around that accomplishes the goal without using code. Thanks to <a title=\"https://foxnet-themes.fi/\" href=\"https://foxnet-themes.fi/\">Sami Keijonen</a> who told me about this technique on the <a title=\"http://themehybrid.com\" href=\"http://themehybrid.com\">ThemeHybrid support forums</a>.</p>\n<p>Start by browsing to <strong>Appearance &#8211; Menus</strong>. Select the menu where you want the link to be displayed. Create a new <strong>Link menu item</strong> and use <strong>#</strong> as the URL with the link text of categories. Then click the <strong>Add to Menu button</strong>.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15932]\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15934\" alt=\"Creating The Placeholder\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial-262x300.jpg\" width=\"262\" height=\"300\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Creating The Placeholder</p></div>\n<p>Select which categories you want to be displayed within the dropdown list. After you add the categories to the menu, make sure to drag and drop them so that they are a child link underneath the parent menu of categories. Look at the following screenshot for reference.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15936\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial2.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15932]\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15936\" alt=\"Arranging The Menu Items\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial2.jpg\" width=\"454\" height=\"256\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arranging The Menu Items</p></div>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve arranged the category links, save the menu. Visit your front page and hover over the categories link to make sure the dropdown list works correctly. The parent menu item of categories acts as a placeholder which is the ingenious part of the tutorial.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15937\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial3.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15932]\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15937\" alt=\"Drop Down List Of Categories\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DropDownCategoriesTutorial3.jpg\" width=\"403\" height=\"264\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drop Down Menu In Use</p></div>\n<p>By using this technique, I can modify which categories and what order they are displayed using the WordPress menu manager. I don&#8217;t have to worry about it disappearing via plugins or by switching themes.

This inevitably leads you to stop what you&#8217;re doing and hunt down the documentation for the feature you&#8217;re attempting to use. This is especially true when it&#8217;s a shortcode that can be configured with multiple attributes.  </p>\n<p>What if there was a way to make shortcodes more discoverable in the post editor? That&#8217;s exactly what <a href=\"http://scott.ee/\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Evans</a> has attempted to do in his <a href=\"https://github.com/scottsweb/shortcode-suggest/\" target=\"_blank\">Shortcode Suggest</a> plugin. When activated, this plugin adds autosuggest for shortcodes as you type in the visual editor. It also includes a short description of the shortcodes it detects.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/shortcodes.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15868]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/shortcodes.png\" alt=\"shortcodes\" width=\"1459\" height=\"997\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15871\" /></a></p>\n<p>As of right now, the plugin is a rough concept that Evans put on github in order to gauge interest and collect feedback. In the future, he plans to improve the design of the suggestions and only load the plugin on the required post types and admin screens. Shortcode Suggest only works on the visual editor but Evans is considering enabling it for the HTML editor, depending on feedback.</p>\n<p>If there was a more standard approach to including shortcode attributes within inline docs, Evans says the plugin would be even more useful. As it is, there may be some gaps where the information is incomplete.</p>\n<p>Shortcodes are popular because they provide an easy and approachable method for users to embed complex functionality within content. However, there&#8217;s no easy way to know what shortcodes are available to your installation. Shortcode Suggest provides a nice solution for this. Download it from <a href=\"https://github.com/scottsweb/shortcode-suggest/\" target=\"_blank\">github</a> and take it for a test drive. Is this a plugin that you&#8217;d like to see further developed?

The first thing you&#8217;ll notice is that the&nbsp; sidebar navigation has been removed. In its place is a tab bar-based layout. This has enabled many other visual changes throughout the app. Reader, comments, and notifications have been revamped. My favorite feature in this update is seamless inline commenting. This addition makes replying to comments feel like text messaging. Keep in mind that from version 3.9 onwards will require iOS7.</p>\n<h3>My Thoughts On 3.9</h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve upgraded the app on my iPhone 5 and without the sidebar navigation, I feel lost. The first screen that loads is Reader. From here, I have no idea what to do or where to go to access my connected sites. This is a drastic interface change that should have had a tour attached to it. I&#8217;d like to see a welcome screen or helpers added to WordPress for iOS so the feeling people get when they upgrade is not confusion or frustration. After a few minutes of using the new interface, I was able to locate my connected sites. To find your connected sites select the <strong>Me button</strong> on the bottom of the app.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15862\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/WPEditoriOS7.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15858]\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-15862\" alt=\"WordPress Post Editor In iOS7\" src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/WPEditoriOS7-281x500.png\" width=\"281\" height=\"500\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simple Post Editor</p></div>\n<p>Once I was comfortable navigating, I was able to appreciate the speed and responsiveness of the app. Some of this is due to the hardware within the iPhone 5. Regardless, the app is fast! I appreciate how big the Gravatars are on the comments and notifications pages. Thanks to the extra height on the iPhone 5, writing a post is easier than it was on my iPhone 4. The post editor is amazingly simple. Post title at the top, content underneath with the keyboard at the bottom. This layout works great. I like how the meta data entries are on a separate screen which enables the post editor to remain simple.</p>\n<h3>Solid Update</h3>\n<p>Overall this is a solid update.

One thing is certain, the feature will be removed.</p>\n<blockquote><p>There were some nagging concerns that outright removing the feature from core could inconvenience users who still rely on it. That doesn&#8217;t detract from Kat&#8217;s work at all. Her plugin is fantastic and it&#8217;s definitely a huge improvement over what&#8217;s in core now. It was never designed to be pulled into core, but rather to provide us an opportunity to remove what&#8217;s in core now.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Removing post by email presents a number of challenges. This will be the first time a feature is removed from core and substituted by a plugin. The team is still working on a plan of action.</p>\n<blockquote><p>In order to make the transition graceful, should we, say, download, activate, and set up Kat&#8217;s plugin when updating to WordPress 3.9? Or we could remove it but if they had it configured, point them toward the plugin. Or, at the very least, we could keep it functional, hiding the UI for new and existing installs unless they already had it configured. So there&#8217;s a bit more UX decision-making that has to happen there, but it&#8217;s on the table.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While WordPress is accustomed to merging plugins into core, this is the opposite situation. If I don&#8217;t have the post by email functionality configured in WordPress, I hope that it&#8217;s detected and the code is removed without adding the plugin to my install. It&#8217;s easy enough to delete it but I&#8217;d rather not go through the process. It will be interesting to see how this is handled and if the results are satisfactory, it may pave the way for something similar to happen with the <a title=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager\" href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager\">Link Manager</a> that was hidden from view in WordPress 3.5</p>\n<p>How do you propose this feature be removed with as little hassle to end users as possible?</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:30:55 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:45;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"WP iPhone: WordPress for iOS 3.9 Released\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://ios.wordpress.org/?p=1528\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"http://ios.wordpress.org/2014/01/30/wordpress-for-ios-3-9-released/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2765:\"<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1531\" alt=\"ios-39\" src=\"http://wpiphone.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/ios-39.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>WordPress for iOS 3.9 is out and now available to download from the App Store.

We also created a seamless inline commenting experience to make it easier for you to engage with the content you love. Finally, we made visual improvements to the editing experience of posts and pages.</p>\n<p>Our team has embraced the latest and greatest technologies that Apple has provided us with iOS 7 to deliver you the best app possible. Version 3.9 and future updates will require iOS 7.</p>\n<p>The app also includes several other changes. On top of various bug fixes and performance improvements, it now supports deep-linking from Twitter, and features an improved login screen. Be sure to try it out.</p>\n<p>A huge thanks to the contributors who worked on this release: <a href=\"https://github.com/pivotal-rebecca\">@pivotal-rebecca</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/mikejohnstn\">@mikejohnstn</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/aerych\">@aerych</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/h4xnoodle\">@h4xnoodle</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/astralbodies\">@astralbodies</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/tomwitkin\">@tomwitkin</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/irbrad\">@irbrad</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/beaucollins\">@beaucollins</a>,<a href=\"https://github.com/koke\">@koke</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/intoxicated\">@intoxicated</a></p>\n<p>If you would like to get involved with WordPress for iOS development, drop us a line at <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/mobile\">make.wordpress.org/mobile</a> and grab a copy of the code at <a href=\"http://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS\">github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS</a>.</p>\n<p>Have feedback?

A new group, led by <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/author/wonderboymusic/\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Taylor</a> under the project code name &#8220;Disco Fries,&#8221; has set out to continue iterating on this feature. </p>\n<p>Taylor said the goal of project Disco Fries is &#8220;to continue to modernize Media and give our huge user base even more ways to display and manage their content.&#8221; The group is working on adding and improving support for MediaElement.js, Backbone, and Underscore to bring WordPress media into the future.  Here are a few of the highlights of what the team is currently working on:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replace media file type icons with Dashicons</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26870\" target=\"_blank\">Documentation of media code</a> &#8211; Add (JSDoc)umentation to the Backbone-centric Media files</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26825\" target=\"_blank\">Metadata Regeneration for audio/video</a> &#8211; ability to generate on-demand</li>\n<li>Add &#8220;Playlist&#8221; and &#8220;Video Playlist&#8221; <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26631\" target=\"_blank\">shortcodes</a></li>\n<li>Consolidate handling of object, audio and video tags in <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/26864\" target=\"_blank\">wpautop()</a></li>\n<li>Placeholders (TinyMCE views) for Audio / Video shortcodes</li>\n<li>Support mediaelement.js YouTube sources in the video shortcode</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Many of these are are subtle or otherwise invisible changes to users in general, as in the case of documenting the Backbone files. The most visible changes are placeholders in the visual editor and the capability to add audio/video playlists via shortcode. </p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/placeholders.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[14537]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/placeholders.png\" alt=\"Audio/Video placeholders in the visual editor\" width=\"567\" height=\"530\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15846\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Audio/Video placeholders in the visual editor</p></div>\n<p>Taylor shared some of the progress on the playlists in an <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/01/29/audiovideo-2-0-update/\" target=\"_blank\">update</a> on make.wordpress.org/core. He created a basic UI for playlists with minimal HTML and CSS that should inherit the styles of the active theme. Here&#8217;s an example of how that looks with the Twenty Fourteen theme:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/twenty-fourteen-audio-playlist.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[14537]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/twenty-fourteen-audio-playlist.png\" alt=\"twenty-fourteen-audio-playlist\" width=\"536\" height=\"392\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15836\" /></a></p>\n<p>The prospect of soon having native audio and video playlists in the core is very exciting.  While oEmbed support for playing multimedia files is excellent, WordPress has been lagging behind in the ability to play files located in its own media library. With these new updates, WordPress users who frequently post media files will have the option to eliminate the plugins they previously depended on for playback.

Here are some of the highlights of this release.</p>\n<h2>New Reader</h2>\n<p>The app Reader has been completely redesigned, and now provides a much-improved, native reading experience. You’ll definitely notice its speed — posts appear in a snap, and images fade in as they load. You can also view users that have commented or liked posts, as well as edit the list of tags that you follow. We’ve revamped the like, reblog, and comment interfaces to make it easier than ever to respond to posts that strike your fancy.</p>\n<h2>Redesigned Blog Setup</h2>\n<p>When signing in to the app or creating an account on WordPress.com, you’ll notice a brand new user interface that makes it super-simple to start blogging. If you keep multiple blogs on your account, they will all be automatically added for you. You can also hide whichever blogs you don’t wish to work on in the app.</p>\n<h2>UI Improvements</h2>\n<p>We’ve given the app a facelift, including a new color scheme, a refined navigation drawer layout, and sharp-looking lists in notifications, posts, pages and comments.</p>\n<p>You’ll also notice some changes to the post editor, with larger images and a new Post Settings area where you’ll manage post data such as status, post formats, and categories, among others. The post content area will now go full screen while you are editing, to give you maximum space to focus on your content. Give the app a try here:</p>\n<p>Download the update today from <a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wordpress.android\">Google Play</a>.</p>\n<h2>What’s next?</h2>\n<p>A big thanks to all of the contributors who worked so hard on this release: <a href=\"https://github.com/aerych\">aerych</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/daniloercoli\">daniloercoli</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/Jason-Chen\">Jason-Chen</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/maxme\">maxme</a>, <a href=\"https://github.com/nbradbury\">nbradbury</a> and <a href=\"https://github.com/roundhill\">roundhill</a>!</p>\n<p>The mobile team isn’t stopping here!

This next release will <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5197\" target=\"_blank\">add profile editing to the WordPress admin</a>. Navigating to the admin Users screen and clicking on &#8220;profile&#8221; will take you to a new &#8220;Community Profile&#8221; tab for backend profile management.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/community-profile.png\" rel=\"prettyphoto[15511]\"><img src=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/community-profile.png\" alt=\"New Community Profile Tab\" width=\"1257\" height=\"955\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15795\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Community Profile Tab</p></div>\n<p>In addition to editing profile fields, this new screen allows administrators to quickly mark a user as &#8220;Active&#8221; or &#8220;Spammer,&#8221; delete the avatar and view member stats.</p>\n<p>The code for this feature has already <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7764\" target=\"_blank\">landed</a> in the BuddyPress trunk and core developers plan to iterate on it throughout the 2.0 cycle. Profile editing adds the following to BuddyPress:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New bp-members-admin.php and accompanying assets to handle the initial admin page creation (outside of XProfile).</li>\n<li>New stats template functions in Blogs, Friends, and Groups components, to provide additional meta data about a members community involvement.</li>\n<li>Modifies some existing XProfile admin/template/filters to make it more accommodating to querying for profile data outside of BuddyPress&#8217;s traditional displayed_user context.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The new Community Profile tab should save administrators quite a bit of time when managing their communities, since they won&#8217;t have to switch to the front end to view profiles. Sometimes it isn&#8217;t clear if a user is a spammer and having a quick way to view profiles in the backend helps to clarify that, especially with the addition of community involvement stats for each member. This feature is enabled by default for administrators only. Further down the road, this setting may be something that can be <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5197#comment:3\" target=\"_blank\">turned on for non-admins via a filter</a>, but that has not yet been implemented. </p>\n<h3>Roadmap For BuddyPress 2.0</h3>\n<p>The features that are currently under active development for the <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.0\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress 2.0 milestone</a> include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>bp-forums <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5351\" target=\"_blank\">retirement</a></li>\n<li>WordPress Rewrite Rules API <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4954\" target=\"_blank\">integration</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5352\" target=\"_blank\">Move XProfile visibility</a> from each field into Settings</li>\n<li>last_activity usermeta <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5128\" target=\"_blank\">improvements</a></li>\n<li>Activity comment sync for comments</li>\n<li>Ticket triage and general maintenance</li>\n<li>New <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4952\" target=\"_blank\">template pack</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Additionally, Boone Gorges has been working on <a href=\"https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5349\" target=\"_blank\">refactoring the Activity query</a> to improve BuddyPress performance. He hopes to implement persistent caching for individual activity items before BuddyPress 2.0 is released. &#8220;It&#8217;ll be a good test case for spreading some individual object caching throughout the rest of the components,&#8221; he said.
