Wow! they really keep upping the bar with every new release of WordPress. This new one will feature a complete overhaul of the Admin area, which is definitely welcome. It really looks slick, and they have put a lot of thought into the layout and access of everything. The navigation has moved to the sidebar, and there is a host of expandable/collapsible windows providing space for access to more tools.
WordPress as a CMS- Page ID now included!
July 24, 2008
When I was redesigning this site using WordPress I noticed those sneaky developers had added a class to the current page. If you notice the current page list item tag now has “current_page_item” as an additional class definition, which turns out to be really helpful when using WordPress as a CMS. What’s so cool about that you might ask? Well it allows you to target the navigation class to apply different style to it without adding your own php to the mix, so your visitor can see which page or section of your website they are on. Excellent!
WordPress for iPhone!
July 22, 2008
I feel like such a nerd even posting this, but there are a ton of new apps coming out on the iPhone ever since they released the new version 2.0 upgrade, and here is one that even comes with a slick promotional video. The nifty app allows you to blog to your WordPress powered website directly from the iPhone! You can write a post, upload pictures from the phone, and it even lets you edit existing posts! Now I am going to go hit myself in the face with my geek punishment stick.
