Displaying 181 To 210 Of 735 Comments 14 Things To Consider When Choosing A Webhost For Your WordPress Powered Site @matt mcinvale – Well, that’s a damn shame but this is the first I’ve heard of the BBB being a scam. Do you know of any other concrete investigations into the BBB? » Posted By Jeffro On June 30, 2010 @ 1:01 PM Special WPTavern Only PluginBuddy Sale Thank you all for pointing out the error in this article and my sincere apologies if that error is what spurred your purchase. I’ve since corrected the article. The damage has been minimal since only about 4 purchases have gone through this link. » Posted By Jeffro On June 29, 2010 @ 3:41 PM Should The WordPress Support Forum Only Support Themes From The Theme Repository? Thank you all for chiming in with your responses, obviously this post has touched a nerve :). After discussion here and within the forum thread in the Tavern forum, I’ve learned that there is no such thing as piracy with GPL licensed themes. As for the support of commercial themes. My initial thinking was that by providing a little more regulation, there would be 0 support offered at the WordPress support forums for commercial themes and instead, support for commercial themes would be given in the proper location (normally where they purchased the theme). But after these discussions, I’ve learned that more regulation would do more harm than good. Most of the people within the WordPress community will take the high road when volunteering support and mention that perhaps their query would be better handled at (commercial theme support area) rather than on the forum but if they could, would provide support where possible. It’s better to give someone the benefit of the doubt then assume everyone with a commercial theme asking for support on the forums is circumventing the paywall for support. As for the decoding of themes, I think that entire process should be discontinued. Instead, there should be a well written blanket statement that can be given to these people that explains why having an encrypted theme is bad business. The support forum already has the article in place that mentions why it’s bad but the process of decoding themes is still allowed. This whole conversation now has me wondering about something else. If regulation such as what i proposed would have been more harmful than good, I wonder under which circumstances more regulation within an open source project is good. What needs regulation and what doesn’t? Perhaps fodder for another post. » Posted By Jeffro On June 29, 2010 @ 3:52 PM WordPress Support Forum And Themes @_ck_ – No one has ever provided me a GOOD reason to use EVAL in a theme or plugin. Does a good reason exist? » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 2:23 AM What To Do Or Consider After You Enable Multisite In WordPress Hah, maybe you two will actually grab a beer at a REAL tavern :) I’ve also edited the post » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 1:16 AM @Jeffro – Replying to myself to see what it looks like » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 1:09 AM @Joe – You’re right, the WYSIWYG editor doesn’t work for text widgets. That would be a good featured to have since there is not one available in the back end of WordPress either. » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 12:08 AM WordPress.Net.IN Taken Offline @Chip Bennett – But I think it’s worth mentioning that at the time, Matt tried to take care of the domain. However, the attempts failed which is where some people could argue that he should have kept trying. I imagine he started focusing on other things but fast forward to today, it’s probably a little easier to work with domain registrars to get domains taken offline due to trademark infringement. I mean, he contacted someone at GoDaddy and now the domain is suspended/offline. Since I know Matt is a smart guy and understands the need to protect the trademark and he is human like everyone else, I think Michaels priority points in his article are Meh. » Posted By Jeffro On June 8, 2010 @ 2:08 PM WPWeekly Episode 100 – The Century Mark I’ve sent the necessary information to those who donated prizes of who the winners are. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details everyone. » Posted By Jeffro On June 14, 2010 @ 12:24 PM WordPress Weekly And The 100th Episode @Joachim Kudish – Wait until I publish the show notes for episode 100 » Posted By Jeffro On June 5, 2010 @ 5:48 PM @Stephanie Leary – Yeah, I think everyone will be happy with this change or addition. Thanks for the prize donations by the way. » Posted By Jeffro On June 4, 2010 @ 4:49 PM Otto To Head The WordPress.org Redesign @Dan Cole – I don’t know the answers to any of those questions. Otto has stated that he is very much still in the planning phases and once there is a known direction to go, he’ll be publishing it in the right places for people to help out or relay feedback » Posted By Jeffro On June 4, 2010 @ 3:53 PM WooThemes Has And Will Continue To Get Credit I was going to respond to all the comments here but instead, I’ve written a post and published it on Weblogtoolscollection.com, feel free to leave a comment or two on that post. http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2010/06/03/wordpress-and-giving-credit/ » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:24 PM Justin Tadlock On Menus In WP 3.0 @matt mcinvale – It will be interesting to see how theme authors or plugin authors for that matter build on the new menu system. » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:29 PM Review Of Beeline – I’m Buzzed Off @Michael Fields – It’s worth noting that you can browse the search results and such through the widget which prevents them from actually leaving your website. So that’s a non issue. » Posted By Jeffro On June 7, 2010 @ 3:30 AM Review Of WhiteHousePro3 By PageLines Good catch Ryan lol. I ended up editing the post. » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:30 PM Forum VIP Membership Now Available Thanks for the support everyone. The VIP section is a work in progress. I’m hoping that it becomes more value over time, especially the group coupon section. » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:33 PM @Ozh – Do you mean fast forward into the video before that part of the video has loaded? The videos load pretty fast and I can click ahead in the time line to see that part of the video. As for skipping frames, what does that mean? » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 5:07 PM @Chip Bennett – Yep. However, i wonder when or if the guys behind VideoPress will make it so that those without Flash aka iPads and iPhones will also be able to see the videos. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 4:36 PM @Blake Helms – What’s interesting is that even if the files have the same name and different extensions, it still happens because VideoPress converts them into a new format. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 4:18 PM Touching Base With Nathan Rice At WordCamp Raleigh There are a couple more questions I wish I had asked Nathan but I hope to send them to him via email and perform a follow up interview. I haven’t noticed any other popular developers move around like Nathan who always take the company he is associated with to the next level. That is why I think his story and his career path is interesting. He reminds me of an all star player that occasionally goes into free agency only to be picked up soon after. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 12:09 AM Violet, WordPress 3.0 And Jane Wells @scribu – Currently re uploading the Jane Wells interview. I’ll explain what happened in another post. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 2:00 PM Buy My WordCamp Chicago Ticket @Gary LaPointe – Nope, never got as far as getting a room. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 3:44 PM @JLeuze – Hmm, couple of interesting WordCamps to look into in August. There is Savannah Georgia and now WordCamp Iowa. I was thinking about Savannah but maybe I’ll go to Iowa on the freak chance that I’ll see a tornado lol. @Chris Jean – Well, OpenCa.mp is starting to look more and more enticing. If I put my sponsor package together, we’ll see if anyone sponsors me to go. By the way, someone has snatched up the ticket. » Posted By Jeffro On May 27, 2010 @ 12:00 AM Jonathan Davis Via WordCamp Raleigh @donnacha | WordSkill – I guess you’re talking about that buzzing noise? lol. Not sure what caused that » Posted By Jeffro On May 23, 2010 @ 9:09 PM @Chip Bennett – Is this how you feel about anything that is proof of concept? I look at it as a glimpse as to what may be possible at some point down the road when at least 3 of the major browsers out there decide to support CSS3 but more specifically, the 3D transforms as noted in the post. Sure, they have no use right now, but it’s still cool to see that it can be done. It’s also neat to get a handle on what theme authors may be utilizing in the future. » Posted By Jeffro On May 20, 2010 @ 1:18 PM @Chip Bennett – This particular theme is available free of charge as I think it was more of a proof of concept than anything else. It would be really dumb to design commercial themes that are tied to one browser lol. » Posted By Jeffro On May 20, 2010 @ 12:17 PM WordCamp Fayetteville Around The Corner @Otto – I’ve known about it since the beginning of the month but have only now had the time to put a post together. Gotta subscribe to that upcoming WordCamp feed :) » Posted By Jeffro On May 19, 2010 @ 4:12 PM Jason Schuller Did It – I Can Do It To Instead of focusing on the things you can’t do, focus on the things you want to do and then work on achieving them. In a nut shell, this is what I’m going to try and do. As for the authority review site, that will happen over time. I’ve only started doing affiliate reviews this year and I will continue to do as they have been a big help. » Posted By Jeffro On May 19, 2010 @ 2:56 PM Review Of The Limit Login Attempts Plugin @Chip Bennett – I think that other plugin people mention is called Login Lockdown. I tried looking for it in the plugin repository but decided to give this one a try and it works as advertised. The email notification is pretty slick. » Posted By Jeffro On May 4, 2010 @ 6:25 PMComments Posted By Jeffro
