Displaying 1 To 9 Of 9 Comments Awesome!! I would say that I won the poll, with 0%. That means absolutely NO ONE thinks my idea was crazy. Therefore my idea enjoys wide support, and should be implemented. For the record, my idea was that WordPress should release a stable version that does not require upgrading. In this way, a person can publish any “content” on the internet using WordPress, and forget about it. You are safe. The content is published permanently. The website will remain online forever (as long as you pay your server bills) without requiring you to babysit the WP software. Thanks for your support, WP Tavern! » Posted By dg On October 10, 2009 @ 10:53 PM Have You Enjoyed Your Stay At The Tavern So Far? I like to think of Jeffro and WP Tavern as thinking about WordPress, not just reporting about WordPress. The implications, the trajectory, the way things are headed. Analysis. Perhaps aggregating the opinions and feedback of the readership as a representative of the people. Encouraging, facilitating, introducing people, techniques, ideas, designers, developers, users, to make a greater whole, from the community cloth. Trustworthy, fair-minded, considerate, positive, realistic. Not beholden. 4th estate. Investigative, insider. WP Weekly podcast audio along with the WP Tavern text content. Basically you tell what’s happening and what could happen with WordPress, give folks a chance to talk about it, and you actually help make things happen as well. WP Tavern is a great resource with lots more potential and a key role to play in the future of WordPress for many users. » Posted By dg On August 22, 2009 @ 2:38 AM Stand-up post Jeffro. However, still, please think of this also — at times, you can be a Representative of all the WP Tavern readers, and help bridge the gap (both expressing for us, and reporting it back to us), for those of us who communicate with developers less. » Posted By dg On August 19, 2009 @ 7:14 PM The Only Two Letter .ME Domain In The World Thanks for the news. I’m mainly a .Org self-installer, so I will check the WP Stats Plugin option. I already have that plugin, just lookin’ for this added functionality now. Also reading WP Tavern’s other post this week, regarding home-brewed URL shorteners. » Posted By dg On August 19, 2009 @ 7:10 PM Hey. You kind of wrote this article with the assumption everyone knows the background. Could you fill in the w-w-w type of facts? Where had the smilies gone? When, why? I can imagine it would be controversial, guess I missed the controversy. *Goes to check if my smilies still work.* I use a plugin anyway, but also depend on the old smilies to be there as traditionally expected if I disable the plugin. » Posted By dg On July 26, 2009 @ 5:09 AM WordPress Reverts To Original Ping Behavior I use posts differently on some of my blogs, in a way that depends on frequent numerous edits. I open the post “live to the public” at the start of a real-time event. I add to the post continually, repeatedly, for the next 2-6 hours. It could be 20, 50, 100 edits. After the 6 hours the post is basically complete. If the readers visit the blog live during the event they will see the latest updates in the post, and can refresh for by-the-minute changes. If the readers visit the blog the next day (or anytime later), then the post is a complete permanent archive of the event. In my case the event is radio playlist of songs and announcements, but I could imagine others doing the same technique for reporting on a race, sports, or game. Anything where there is an opening-announcement which is later edited to include realtime statistics, and eventually finalized into a permanent record. For SEO purposes, it seems advantageous to maintain the flow of all that related content in the same post, same permalink. That’s why I always have turned off Ping-O-Matic on that kind of WordPress install. Don’t know if that is the correct decision. I feel it would be best for this site to Ping the first time I post it, and maybe Ping again on the next day when the post is finalized, but certainly not ping for each of 20+ edits in the span of 6 hours. Any advice of the best approach for my set up? » Posted By dg On July 26, 2009 @ 5:17 AM First WordPress Weekly Listening Party How did this turn out, as far as the listening party? Sounds like a blast, I wish there was a group interested in doing this in my town. For the record some bars in town have held listening parties for my live-music podcast but it wasn’t a call-in situation. My initial concern, from an event-organization view, is that the WP Weekly live recording often goes longer (beyond 9) and people might want to keep listening rather than turning it off to go to Q&A. I guess everyone who wanted would have their laptops open so watching the chat would be possible, as that is another key part of the weekly live recording. Hope your party went great & you are able to continue doing them from time to time. » Posted By dg On July 26, 2009 @ 5:31 AM Ask Jeff: Is The Submit A Post Link A Plugin? I use TDO Mini Forms. It works fairly well for taking guest submissions directly inside WP. I guess the classic alternative method is, “If you want to submit an article, email it to _____ .” » Posted By dg On July 26, 2009 @ 5:19 AM As an outside-the-box tip, a lot of laptops and monitors offer a simple key-combo for brightness. If you don’t like light backgrounds (especially noticed when you’re in a dark room), you can press something like Control-Down (well it’s Function-Down on my laptop), and it dims the screen brightness. This really helps take the edge off light backgrounds, and make them tolerable. By the same token if you’re on a dark website, you can possibly increase the brightness (Function-Up on my laptop) to make the letters & words pop out more. I hit those keys constantly going from site to site, and going from daytime to nighttime screen viewing. Can’t imagine how some people can stand the same brightness level all the time. » Posted By dg On July 26, 2009 @ 5:23 AMComments Posted By dg
