A Theme With 70 Different Widget Spots

I love it! Imagine all of the ads you can have on your page ;>

Do you think there might be some code bloat in this theme?

Drupal And WordPress Founders Share The Same Stage

I’m not sure why people would expect them to duke it out. Both have pluses and minuses. If you believe in open source, you have to keep your mind open to the alternatives

From Six Figures To Ten Bucks

@Charles Testa – You are an important person. At least you are in your own mind.

Pardon me for voicing my opinion in the presence of such greatness. I bow down before thee.

Traditional HTML coders are losing their business. But people who know how to modify and support WP are in business. Designers should focus on custom themes and marketing their own WP themes.

The WP DIY model is great and it has helped millions of people and small businesses get a site up and running. But, if you want to do anything other than blog or have a brochure site, you’ll probably need a geek to upgrade your site.

The model is changing, yes. But, there are new opportunities every time the model changes.

Plugin Quality Not Plugin Quantity

Jeffro:

It’s amazing how well most plugins work with WP and other plugins. Sometimes I’ll find a plugin that conflicts with another or doesn’t work as advertised. In that case I look for another plugin and most of the time find a different one that works. One could argue to leave well enough alone.

On the other hand, WordPress has become increasingly popular as a website software. More and more online businesses are using it for their websites. As a business owner, you’d like to be assured of some level of quality because when you’re site is down, you aren’t making money. From this perspective you could argue that there should be a review process.

Maybe we should look at it as a tiered plugin repository – quality reviewed plugins and non-reviewed plugins.

Should plugin reviewers be paid? If so, why not pay the theme reviewers?

Maybe theme and plugin submitters should pay a fee for reviews?

Should Automatic Upgrades Be Opt-In?

I voted for opt-in, but I guess it would be OK to have opt-out. I want to know when a site is updated in case it causes a problem. I run a manual backup before major upgrades.

As for Chrome, If it doesn’t work I can use another browser (I use FF anyway). If my site is down because of an upgrade, that’s a bit more serious.
