WordPress GTA
No Comments
There’s a new Meetup group in town … the WordPress Greater Toronto Area Meetup group, or WPGTA for short. I have been considering starting a Meetup group focused more on WordPress design and development for the last several months but I have also felt there was never enough time to devote to organizing it. Now, [...]
Goodbye Klout
Although I was quick to jump on the Klout wagon when I first came across it, this is just a quick note more than anything else about my just as quick decision to stop using the service.
I would expect no one should see any more unsolicited tweets et al. to use the service from me; and I also believe I have clicked enough buttons and disconnected all of the services that were attached to Klout as well.
I didn’t find any “close my account” or “cancel my service” options but then again Klout really does not seem all that interested in having your permission to assign a “score”.
So long and thanks for all the +K.
New < 140
I just updated my < 140 block to:
I am Cais: WordPress junkie and blogger; maker of fine themes and plugins; WP Theme Review Team admin; Guitar player; and, mischief manager
For consistency purposes it’s the same “bio” details I use on most (all?) of the social networking services I belong to; which, sadly, are simply too many to remember at the moment.
Although my primary social media site is Twitter (@JellyBeen) I can be found most places if you search for Edward Caissie … look me up; and let me know you saw this post, too!
WordPress 3.3-beta1
Although it was released yesterday, I am following my normal routine of using it live now.
If you are interested in following along and helping with the beta testing, you can read my post on WPFirstAid.com on how to “Start Using WordPress Beta“, or you can download the “Nightly Build” at WordPress and start from there.
A New Workflow
After an interesting discussion on twitter with @curtismchale, @ericmann, @mikeschenkel, and @rarst I have decided its time to have another look at “local development”. The basics so far have been the following downloads: Tortoise SVN Git WampServer PhpStorm Tortoise SVN and Git are for the version control aspects of this project; WampServer (since I am [...]
BNS Theme Add-Ins 0.1 Live
Sometimes I look for any reasonable excuse to post; this one is just to hard to pass up as a new “status” post.
The following is from one of the newer Plugin repository enhancements: an email notification when an update is made to a plugin you contribute to.

Long story short: the first iteration of “BNS Theme Add-Ins” is now available on the WordPress Extend Plugin repository.
BNS Theme Add-Ins
Although it started more as a “Mallory-Everest” idea, I just submitted to the WordPress Extend Plugins repository the “BNS Theme Add-Ins” plugin. My 11th submission!
It is a collection of functions and code that can be used to extend the capabilities of WordPress Parent-Themes and Child-Themes. Current functions:
* Add BNS Extra Theme Headers
* Add BNS Child-Theme Version Control
* Add BNS Readme Menu Item
* Add BNS Changelog Menu Item
* Add BNS Child-Theme TextDomain and i18n (translation) support
Although I did offer to release each of the above functions individually, how I optimized this initial release (read: alpha version) requires the code to remain intact.
I usually make these announcements on BuyNowShop, but this plugin quickly became very special as I utilized more advanced code techniques as well as core functionality I have not implemented in the past; and I just didn’t want to wait until it get subversion access.
Besides, this seemed like a great “Aside” post to make.
Enjoy!
