I Miss Blogging

Its about dam time that I started blogging again. I have not written a post for months and now it is time to update everyone.

I have been very busy, and even though I have not been able to blog, I have been very involved with WordPress stuff.

What can you expect from me soon?

  • 3 Products going live all running on WordPress - more info to come soon
  • 1 Free WordPress theme - demo to go out on my next point
  • My personal site to seperate WordPress developments from my person life and visa versa
  • A few websites for friends all running on a WordPress backend (5+)

So as you can see, even though I have been quite, I have not been doing nothing!

Also I will be devoting an hour minimum a day to blogging on all my sites.

WordPress going Social

The guys at Automattic have been working on a plugin for WordPress Mu; a derivative of WordPress that allows you to have multiple blogs controlled and maintained from one central point. This plugin has been dubbed BuddyPress.

From the name you can easily guess what it will do and what it will do is going to change the social arena for good. Many of the features that are being worked on are features that you will find on any of the major Social Networking site such as Facebook or MySpace and so on but obviously as the creator of WordPress, Matthew Mullenweg, seeming tries to do with every bit of code he is involved in is try and make it 100 times better.

Next WordPress Adventure

Tags:

This weekend I will be aiming to complete my next WordPress project. It is for one of my websites (Touchies) that has been neglected for a while now. Once this is complete it will set me up for a few projects that are currently on hold (2 joint projects, 1 personal project and 1 team project). I am really excited for this weekend to get here even if it means that I will be working for all of it.

I have really taken well to the WordPress Model and already have future project ideas lined up ranging from design to plugins.

Please also thumbs for me because I might be starting on my first WordPress freelance job in the next week or two.

Will keep you updated.

First WordPress Theme Venture

I have finally completed my WordPress theme! It is still very basic but it has included some cool features that I have always liked. I still want to add a few more things and also finish off the top menu.

Plugins the theme requires:

I also plan on adding a few more things like using the Gallery software and Gallery WordPress plugin to run my gallery. I will just have to see how things go but I want to do some of my own functions to really beef up my theme as well.

What I like most about this theme is that it is clean and does not deter to much from my core goal, ‘nice to look at and easy to read’.

Hope you like it.

WordPress and loving it!

I am well on the way in the design of my very first WordPress theme which is proving to be one of the most enthraling projects I have ever undertaken.

I have loved every bit of it especially because of the internal design of WordPress. I have designed many templates before including some on Joomla! which have not even given me half the enjoyment that designing a WordPress theme has.
