Displaying 1 To 11 Of 11 Comments A tool completely under your control has indeed a very high value. Agree with you that Matt hits the nail there. I also think that will be more and more apparent as many don´t reflect upon the control they let go to e.g. Facebook today. Third-party services are taken for granted by many and very few reflect upon what the TOCs really say… » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On February 6, 2010 @ 10:29 AM WordPress Dev Chat For 2-04-10 Nice to read about the MU consolidation! Had some bad nervous feelings for this part and it is great they seem unwarranted. » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On February 5, 2010 @ 6:24 AM WPJewels Gearing Up For Re-Launch @Beysim - How do you draw that conclusion? » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On February 5, 2010 @ 7:31 AM Good point. Overall, making entries re-editable for a short period of time is a quite useful feature. At least for me, – I am way too sloppy and for some reason, I tend to proof-read what I have written myself not until it is finally there, alive and kicking beyong the point of no return… :=) @Jeffro, Agree on the slim chances for this kind of site. I just can´t see myself using it and that´s a bad start… » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On February 1, 2010 @ 4:21 PM A Wordcamp held in Microsoft premises?? Sounds paradoxical. I am personally very interested in the developments on the eCommerce aspects of WordPress, so would be very interesting if you have the time to develop what you discussed with Jonathan Davis and Shayne Sanderson. As for Intensedebate I also share your reluctance to go with a third-party commenting system. I am starting to reconsider though, but lean towards Disqus in that case. Hoping for a Wordcamp in Nordic soon… » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 29, 2010 @ 3:04 PM Write For People, Not For Spiders @Nathan Rice - I can recommend http://www.themegrade.com/ in order to get a quick feeling for a WordPress theme´s SEO capabilities. Obviously, not all WP themes available are reviewed (Thesis is not e.g.), but it´s a good source to start if you are looking for themes if you require a certain SEO level to start with. » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 26, 2010 @ 6:31 AM Multi-Site Is Just A Feature Set WIll be interesting to see how the multi-site capabilities will be included in the admin interface. Imo, keeping these functions quite hidden per default could be a good idea for the gui to not make it too cluttered for the majority of WP users who will not be interested in the multi-site capabilities. E.g. activating all these functions with radiobuttons with “Activate multi-site capabilities? Yes/No” from Settings –> General with “no” per default could be a start? Or are there advantages from WPMU that standalone WP could benefit from that I miss? Anyone have a clue about thinking in this area? » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 19, 2010 @ 2:57 PM Core Plugins Are Just An Experiment Although I agree with you Andreas that it doesn’t give a good impression on the whole WP organization not speaking with one voice regarding this issue, I think the good part in Matt´s response is that he/they clearly do listen in and are responsive. Btw, maybe a somewhat naive question/viewpoint, but isn´t Akismet sort of already what these core plugins are intended to be? (I admit not being fully up to speed with all discussions on this topic). Why not figure out a way to tag stuff so everything regardless of source is shown on the same place? “Covering all of Internet” hashtags would be nice… If someone would have a go at that, I have a good domain name. :) » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 12, 2010 @ 3:28 PM I am quite amazed only 1% are women actually… There is really a job here for everyone in the whole IT community to make women feel more involved in development. I am even more surprised about women (at least in Sweden) are very much involved in using blogging tools such as WordPress. How come they are not interested in developing them then? » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 10, 2010 @ 11:54 PM GravityForms Releases Version 1.3 @Bill Robbins - The developers in the development team in my department has said the same. We run sites using both but are switching to Gravity Forms as cforms is more frequently not working. I use cforms on my personal blog and I guess it works well for smaller efforts like that (however, it´s a bit tricky to upgrade), but for bigger magazine websites using WordPress, maybe Gravity Forms is worth the price after all? » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 8, 2010 @ 4:03 PM Magazine/News Themes The New Black? Being in charge of the digital department of a traditional publisher using WordPress as a CMS, yes, I love the magazine themes and this trend and really hope there will be even more focus on them with the code merge of WPMU in 3.0! » Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg On January 8, 2010 @ 4:12 PMComments Posted By Lars Tong Strömberg
