Top 10 Most Common Coding Mistakes in WordPress Plugins & planetOzh

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 22:55:25 -0700

As promised, I'm going to share a list of the most common mistakes, errors, misunderstandings, bad habits or wrong design decisions I've encountered while reviewing all these 43 plugins. Some are highly critical stuff (I've contacted 3 plugins authors after finding serious security holes in their plugin), some are more potential annoyances than real bugs, or are just causing a waste of server resources that could be avoided, but all have something in common: they're trivial to fix.

Down Memory Lane With WordPress.com

Great post highlighting the history behind the WordPress.com domain and home page since 2004. Also serves as a great example as to the usefulness of the Internet Wayback Machine.

Donate Friday

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:59:33 -0700

Well, I'd like to propose starting something this Friday called "Donate Friday" - each Friday for as long as I can do it - I'm going to pick a plugin that I'm using on any of my websites and donate to them and then tweet about the plugin (including linkies of course) with the hashtag #donatefriday.

From the page: "Plugins are one of the thriving aspects of WordPress that bring people to the platform because if you can�t do something with WordPress, there is at least 1-3 plugins that will. I would really hate to see plugin authors jump ship from the platform simply because of the way the community treats them."

Theme Playground | The Douchebag Principle

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 23:51:04 -0700

The question: how far should developers go when using others' GPL themes and redistributing them, whether for free or for profit?

I propose an answer: don't be a douchebag.

What does it mean to be a GPL douchebag?

Jeffro - The WordPress Ninja From the WordPress Tavern & WP TOY

Fri, 01 May 2009 07:34:23 -0700

A month back, when I started this blog, I wanted to interview a number of people that are very active in the WordPress community. One of the first names that came to mind was Jeffro from Jeffro2.0, WP Tavern and the WP Weekly Podcasts.

I contacted Jeff because I was interested to see how the WP Tavern is evolving into THE WordPress community site. We also had a little chat about the WP Weekly podcasts, which is pretty interesting to read.
