Displaying 31 To 43 Of 43 Comments Page management re:”navigation menus” would be nice to see in the dashboard … I think I would prefer an include box (checked by default) rather than an exclude page option. Time to go looking at the … um … hmmm, I guess I should sort out where to start looking first. » Posted By Edward Caissie On July 9, 2009 @ 11:27 AM The Tavern Doing A Little Shifting Good Luck! Hope all goes smoothly. » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 29, 2009 @ 4:12 PM Why not get Gina Bell onto WP Weekly for a real discussion of this Virtual WordCamp? » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 27, 2009 @ 3:58 PM Listener Poll: How Should I Review A Theme? I would vote for a third option … both (agree with @Chip: I voted for using a pre-existing install, but really, I think both methods are useful.); or, even a fourth option: a custom XML import and both new and existing blog installations. I believe a theme should have merit on a fresh install with little to no content; it should also be able to handle the basic posts and pages of a blog with content. This would also be a great place to have a custom XML import so the prospective reviewer would have a better idea of what the theme can really accomplish, although not very functional for the average user. (Adding a lot of random posts and pages to their blog just to “test” a theme is quite excessive given they would have to be removed somehow afterwards.) All that being said, it may be best from a review perspective to have a separate “test” blog to do reviews with. One that contains a fair amount of “sandbox” posts and pages, perhaps five to ten of each, as well as a few “standard” widgets and plugins for example purposes only. This would help lessen the bias that could be created by content, widget, or plugin that may not be commonly found in WordPress installations or not be directly compatible with the theme being reviewed. » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 20, 2009 @ 11:43 AM It seems this is becoming more a question of who needs the ID and for what purposes. I am in full agreement that developers should by all rights be able to find an ID relatively easily, but perhaps the average user or non-technically inclined blogger may need something a bit more obvious. Which IMHO still falls to the developer to provide a method if their theme or plugin needs the details for the end-user to make use of it. » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 12, 2009 @ 6:21 PM I think it should be up to the theme / plugin author to make allowances for users of their code to be able to find the necessary information. Either add code into their theme or plugin, for example in the options page to identify posts or pages as the case may be; or, give easily understood instructions on how to find the information, i.e.: how to and where to hover over the post. » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 12, 2009 @ 8:14 AM “is the new code being confirmed to be valid in the new WP/MU codebase?” Eh, not really. If you look at trac, WP 2.8 code is being rolled into WPMU, not the other way around. Um, isn’t that what I said?! » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 2, 2009 @ 6:37 PM A few points … One, to me donncha is WPMU; and, his comments make the announcement very simple to understand. The first question that came to mind when I read about the merger was: I wonder what Donncha will be doing? Then it occured to me: he appears to be on vacation. This leads to my next point that has me thinking this has been an event already long in the planning … did not Donncha tweet a “hello” to WCSF shortly before the announcement? Another point, would this be part of the reason why 2.8 has been so long in the pre-release cycle; is the new code being confirmed to be valid in the new WP/MU codebase? » Posted By Edward Caissie On June 2, 2009 @ 4:22 PM Review – Wooden Fence By TemplateLite I generally like the theme for its overall look and feel (from the preview at least). I agree the sidebar font colors should be a bit darker for easier reading. I’m not a fan of the footer scripting, for a number of reasons, my biggest concern would be if they were having issues with their site would it create issues with mine?! Removing the footer script would be against the license terms, and therefore make the theme virtually unusable for myself … it’s also the reason I did not use another theme of theirs that I really liked. » Posted By Edward Caissie On May 31, 2009 @ 3:48 PM Review Of Eventina 2.0 – jQuery Strikes Again Great Review. I especially like the premise behind how you intend to go forward with reviewing premium themes. There are quite a few out there that may prove interesting to see and read a bit more about before considering purchasing. The points you bring up about Eventina having compatibility issues due to jQuery conflicts, at this time, would stop me from buying it; and given that the theme is the newer item I would think it would fall to the theme developer to look at “fixing” the issue if the plugin is still current and well-used. I myself like using Comment Luv on my blogs, too; and, would be at odds if it did not work in a specific theme I had paid to use. All in all, from what I have read here this is a good looking theme with a great concept in the back-end options set up. I could imagine at least a few different blog concept ideas that it would fit well. » Posted By Edward Caissie On May 22, 2009 @ 7:42 AM If this move by Six Apart was done based in altruism, then I must applaud their moving forward in this fashion, with the end-users being the most important audience to cater to. Then again, it could just be a magnificent foray into the enemy camp to gain new followers … but that could just be the cynic in me speaking out. » Posted By Edward Caissie On May 18, 2009 @ 11:25 AM Matt The Domain Guru Strikes Again In order, I would go with the hosted blog service first for the shortened URL; then, with the URL shortening service. It seems these ideas go hand-in-hand, perhaps Automattic can sort out a way to do both?! » Posted By Edward Caissie On April 27, 2009 @ 11:32 AM I’ve been seeing similar comments on a couple of my blogs.

I admit to being a little skeptical myself, but that is only due to so many unknowns at this time. The more information we can gain the better we will understand.
