<p>Here’s a more textual overview of what’s hawt in 2.6:</p>
<h3>Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits</h3>
<p>With the power of modern computers, it’s silly that we still use save and editing metaphors from the time when the most common method of storage was floppy disks. WordPress has always respected the importance of your writing with auto-save, and now we’re taking that to another level by allowing you to view who made what changes when to any post or page through a super-easy interface, much like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&action=history">Wikipedia</a> or a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion">version control system</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/diff.gif" alt="Differences between two versions of posts." class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3" /></p>
<p>This is handy on any blog in case you make a mistake and want to go back to an older version of a post, and it’s super handy for multi-author blogs where you can see every change tracked by person.</p>
<h3>Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the web</h3>
<p>A few months ago on my blog we <a href="http://ma.tt/2008/05/favorite-posting-bookmarklet/">started a conversation about the posting bookmarklet</a> in WordPress and which systems we should look to for inspiration, like Flock, FriendFeed, Facebook, Tumblr, and Delicious. From these suggestions and the Quick Post plugin by Josh Kenzer, we developed a Press This bookmark you can add to your toolbar that provides a fast and smart popup to do posts to your WordPress blog:</p>
<p><img src="http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/press-this.gif" alt="Screenshot of Press This interface." title="press-this" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4" /></p>
<p>For example, if you click “Press This” from a <a href="http://youtube.com/">Youtube</a> page it’ll magically extract the video embed code, and if you do it from a <a href="http://flickr.com/">Flickr</a> page it’ll make it easy for you to put the image in your post. On my blog I’ve been experimenting with using different categories and the <code>in_category()</code> function — such as video, quote, aside, et cetera — to create a more tumblelog-like format.</p>
<h3>Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging</h3>
<p><a href="http://gears.google.com/">Gears</a> is an open source browser extension project started by Google that developers like us can use to give you features we wouldn’t normally be able to. There are a lot of things we can do with Gears in the future, but in this release we’ve stuck to using what’s called a “Local Server” to cache or keep a copy of commonly-used Javascript and CSS files on your computer, which can speed up the loading of some pages by several seconds (they just pop right up!). You can install Gears for Firefox or Internet Explorer, with support for Safari and Opera pending. WordPress works just fine without it, you just get a little extra juice when you have it installed.</p>
<h3>Theme Previews: See it before your audience does</h3>
<p>Now when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the theme live with all your content, instead of immediately making it active on your site. This is great for just test driving themes before making a switch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing a theme and need to test it but don’t want everybody to see your ongoing <del datetime="2008-07-14T21:23:41+00:00">mistakes</del> development.</p>
<p>Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Word count!</strong> Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.</li>
<li><strong>Image captions</strong>, so you can add sweet captions <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/">like Political Ticker does</a> under your images.</li>
<li><strong>Bulk management</strong> of plugins.</li>
<li>A completely <strong>revamped image control</strong> to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It’s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.</li>
<li>Drag-and-drop <strong>reordering of Galleries</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Plugin update</strong> notification bubble.</li>
<li>Customizable default avatars.</li>
<li>You can now upload media when in full-screen mode.</li>
<li>Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default, but you can turn it on easily through the options screen.</li>
<li>Full <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer">SSL support</a> in the core, and the ability to <strong>force SSL</strong> for security.</li>
<li>You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.</li>
<li>Ability to move your <code>wp-config</code> file and <code>wp-content</code> directories to a custom location, for “clean” SVN checkouts.</li>
<li>Select a range of checkboxes with “shift-click.”</li>
<li>You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.</li>
<li>A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions.</li>
<li>Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI.</li>
<li>Version 2.6 <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=2.6">fixes approximately 194 bugs</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer Notes</h3>
<p>WordPress.org had over 75 people contributing code to WordPress 2.6. In addition to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/">core commit team</a> we had contributions from <a href="http://dd32.id.au/">Dion Hulse</a>, <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/">Austin Matzko</a>, <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog/">Otto42</a>, <a href="http://extralogical.net/">Benedict Eastaugh</a>, and <a href="http://www.freecharity.org.uk/">pishmishy</a>. <a href="http://xavisys.com/">AaronCampbell</a> and <a href="http://www.marcozehe.de/">Marco Zehe</a> provided more than a few patches. Back among the top code contributors is <a href="http://www.santosj.name/">Jacob Santos</a>. <a href="http://www.buayacorp.com/">Alex Concha</a> continues to have WordPress’ back. Joining bug reporting and gardening elite are <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre">hakre</a>, <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/">Simon Wheatley</a>, mtekk, and <a href="http://www.prescriber.org.uk/">Matty Rob</a>. Finally, congratulations to our <a href="http://westi.wordpress.com/">Peter Westwood</a> on your recent wedding! I’m also proud to announce we’re adding a new core committer to the team: Andrew Ozz (azaozz) has been a huge help to the core team this year, particularly around TinyMCE and making the WYSIWYG something that works for you, not against you.</p>
<p>Because of the new capabilities to make WordPress a clean SVN checkout, plugin and theme authors should do their best to handle forms and posts through WP rather than trying to post to their files directly, here’s a quick Codex article about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests">how to do it using our forward-compatible APIs</a>.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">Our standard 3-step upgrade instructions apply to this release</a>. There were at least 1,984,047 downloads of the 2.5 series, the fastest growing release we’ve ever had, and I think all of those people will find 2.6 adds a level of polish that really makes WP a pleasure to use every day. (At least I do. :))</p>
<h3>Easter Egg</h3>
<p>There have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called “easter egg” added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors and allegations are completely false!</p>

<h3>Developer Notes</h3>
<p>WordPress.org had over 75 people contributing code to WordPress 2.6. In addition to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/">core commit team</a> we had contributions from <a href="http://dd32.id.au/">Dion Hulse</a>, <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/">Austin Matzko</a>, <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog/">Otto42</a>, <a href="http://extralogical.net/">Benedict Eastaugh</a>, and <a href="http://www.freecharity.org.uk/">pishmishy</a>. <a href="http://xavisys.com/">AaronCampbell</a> and <a href="http://www.marcozehe.de/">Marco Zehe</a> provided more than a few patches. Back among the top code contributors is <a href="http://www.santosj.name/">Jacob Santos</a>. <a href="http://www.buayacorp.com/">Alex Concha</a> continues to have WordPress’ back. Joining bug reporting and gardening elite are <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre">hakre</a>, <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/">Simon Wheatley</a>, mtekk, and <a href="http://www.prescriber.org.uk/">Matty Rob</a>. Finally, congratulations to our <a href="http://westi.wordpress.com/">Peter Westwood</a> on your recent wedding! I’m also proud to announce we’re adding a new core committer to the team: Andrew Ozz (azaozz) has been a huge help to the core team this year, particularly around TinyMCE and making the WYSIWYG something that works for you, not against you.</p>
<p>Because of the new capabilities to make WordPress a clean SVN checkout, plugin and theme authors should do their best to handle forms and posts through WP rather than trying to post to their files directly, here’s a quick Codex article about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests">how to do it using our forward-compatible APIs</a>.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">Our standard 3-step upgrade instructions apply to this release</a>. There were at least 1,984,047 downloads of the 2.5 series, the fastest growing release we’ve ever had, and I think all of those people will find 2.6 adds a level of polish that really makes WP a pleasure to use every day. (At least I do. :))</p>
<h3>Easter Egg</h3>
<p>There have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called “easter egg” added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors and allegations are completely false!</p>

<p>For a short overview of the features with screenshots, it’d be best to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/25-sneak-peek/">visit our sneak peek announcement for RC1</a>. Or check out <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-rc2/">a 4-minute screencast of the new interface in action</a>. If you just want to jump straight to the good stuff <a href="http://wordpress.org/download/">here’s where you can find 2.5 upgrade and download information</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to see everything I would grab a cup of coffee or a mojito, because this post is epic.</p>
<h3>User Features</h3>
<p><strong>Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard</strong> — we’ve worked hard to take your feedback about what’s most important in the dashboard and organize things to allow you to focus on what’s important — your blog — and get out of your way. In collaboration with <a href="http://happycog.com/">Happy Cog</a> and the community we’ve taken the first major step forward in the WordPress interface since version 1.5.</p>
<p><strong>Dashboard Widgets</strong> — the dashboard home page is now a series of widgets, including ones to show you fun stats about your posting, latest comments, people linking to you, new and popular plugins, and of course WordPress news. You can customize any of the dashboard widgets to show, for example, news from your local paper instead of WP news. Plugins can also hook in, for example the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/">WordPress.com stats widget</a> adds a handy double-wide stats box.</p>
<p><img src="http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/stats-widget.png" alt="" width="690" /></p>
<p><strong>Multi-file upload with progress bar</strong> — before when you would upload a large file you’d wait forever, never knowing how far along it was. And uploading more than one photo was an exercise in patience, as you could only do one at a time. Now you can select a whole of folder images or music or videos at once and it’ll show you the progress of each upload.</p>
<p><strong>Bonus: EXIF extraction</strong> — if you upload JPEG files with EXIF metadata like camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, et al. WordPress will extract all the data into custom fields you can use in your template. If you use the EXIF title fields or similar those will be put into their equivalent fields in WP. Most modern digital cameras generate EXIF data.</p>
<p><strong>Search posts and pages</strong> — search used to cover just posts, now it includes pages too, a great boon for those using WordPress as a CMS. New themes can style or sort pages differently in results.</p>
<p><strong>Tag management</strong> — you can now add, rename, delete, and do whatever else you like to tags from inside WordPress, no plugins needed.</p>
<p><strong>Password strength meter</strong> — when you change your password on your profile it’ll tell you how strong your password is to help you pick a good one.</p>
<p><strong>Concurrent editing protection</strong> — for those of you on multi-author blogs, have you ever opened a post while someone was already editing it, and your auto-saves kept overwriting each other, irrecoverably losing hours of work? I bet that added a few words to your vocabulary. Now if you open a post that someone else is editing, WordPress magically locks it and prevents you from saving until the other person is done. You’ll see a message like below.</p>
<p><img src="http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/write-currently-editing.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Few-click plugin upgrades</strong> — if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we’ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step — downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.</p>
<p><strong>Friendlier visual post editor</strong> — I’m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say “it doesn’t mess with your code anymore.” We’re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we’ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a “no-distractions” mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.</p>
<p><strong>Built-in galleries</strong> — when you take advantage of multi-file upload to upload a bunch of photos, we have a new shortcode that lets you to easily embed galleries by just putting [ gallery] (without the space) in your post. It’ll display all your thumbnails and captions and each will link each to a page where people can comment on the individual photos. I’ve been using this feature on my blog and have already uploaded over <a href="http://ma.tt/category/gallery/">1,200 pictures into 23 galleries</a>. The shortcode has some hidden options too, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_the_gallery_shortcode">check out this documentation</a>.</p>
<h3>Developer Features</h3>
<p>Now for the geeky stuff. While we’re excited about the above features, each one represents a new opportunity or API for other developers to take to another level. (The best of which we’ll someday integrate back into WP.)</p>
<p><strong>Salted passwords</strong> — we now use the <a href="http://www.openwall.com/phpass/">phpass</a> library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like <a href="http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/">mod_auth_mysql</a> we’ve <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/">created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing</a>. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.</p>
<p><strong>Secure cookies</strong> — cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described <a href="http://www.cse.msu.edu/~alexliu/publications/Cookie/cookie.pdf">in this PDF paper</a>. which is something like <code>user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k)</code> where <code>k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk)</code> and where <code>sk</code> is a secret key, which you can define in your config.</p>
<p><strong>Easy taxonomy and URL creation</strong> — probably best illustrated with an example: I can call <code>register_taxonomy()</code> with <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6357/taxes.php">a few arguments</a> to register a “people” taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I’ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with <code>/person/firstname-lastname/</code>. All with a single function call.</p>
<p><strong>Inline documentation</strong> — the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.</p>
<p><strong>Database optimization</strong> — we haven’t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.</p>
<p><strong>$wpdb->prepare()</strong> — now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins. This should prevent elementary SQL escaping issues.</p>
<p><strong>Media buttons</strong> — the add media buttons above the post are both expandable, so you could have an “Add Google Map” button if you like, They can be overridden, so if you think you can do the video or audio tab better than we have you can replace the default.</p>
<p><strong>Shortcode API</strong> — the new gallery functionality is powered by the new shortcode API. Shortcodes are little bracket-delineated strings that can be magically expanded at runtime to something more interesting. They give users a short, easy to type and copy/paste string they can move around their post without worrying about messing up complex HTML or embed codes. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API">The Shortcode API is fully documented</a>.</p>
<p>Now you see why 2.5 took a little extra time. <img src='http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>Upgrade Notes</h3>
<p>2.5 does include security fixes so it is recommended for all users, the 2.3 branch will no longer be updated. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">The upgrade instructions for this version are pretty much the same as any other version</a>. The most important thing to check is your plugins, so if for example everything works except the new uploader, a legacy plugin might be causing a javascript error on the page and breaking it. If something goes wrong, the safest thing to do is turn your plugins off (we have a button to do them all at once, now) and turn them back on one-by-one, testing the problem along the way. This has solved almost everybody’s problems in testing, and it also lets you know which plugin author to show some love to so they’ll update their plugin, and which plugin authors already have so you can shower them with praises on your blog.</p>
<p>One brief note about some of the new upload and plugin upgrade features, there are some edge-case hosting platforms, like versions of Lighttpd before 1.5 or over-agressive mod_security rules, which can break. If something isn’t working like it was looked in the screenshot, ask your host if there’s something on the server side which may be interfering. Hosts, feel free to join and post to <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">our wp-testers mailing list</a> if you have an environment that requires some extra code to work around. We’d be happy to include it in the next update.</p>
<p><em>Quick tip:</em> in 2.5 you click the name of things to edit them, like your username to edit your profile or the title of a post to edit it.</p>
<h3>The Community is Growing</h3>
<p>More than growing, it’s on fire. We always talk about things like downloads, and the 2.3 branch has already had <strong>1.92 million downloads</strong> as I write this post, but this time we have some far more interesting information I’d like to share.</p>
<p>There were over 1,200 commits to our repository since 2.3.0 and <strong>over 90 people were credited</strong> in them. This means in our core code, not plugins, there were at least 90 individual folks that contributed something high-quality enough that it made the cut to be part of the download you guys get today. I had no idea this group of people was so large.</p>
<p>Outside of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/">core commit team</a>, there was particular help from these people, in rough order of number of credits and tickets: <a href="http://blogwaffe.com/">mdawaffe (Michael Adams)</a>, <a href="http://www.laptoptips.ca/">azaozz (Andrew Ozz)</a>, <a href="http://nb.niichavo.org/">nbachiyski (Nikolay Bachiyski)</a>, <a href="http://skeltoac.com/">andy (Andy Skelton)</a>, <a href="http://iammattthomas.com/">iammattthomas (Matt Thomas)</a>, <a href="http://thresholdstate.com/">tellyworth (Alex Shiels)</a>, <a href="http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/">josephscott (Joseph Scott)</a>, <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/">lloydbudd (Lloyd Budd)</a>, <a href="http://dd32.id.au/">DD32 (Dion)</a>, <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/">filosofo (Austin Matzko)</a>, <a href="http://engel.uk.to/">hansengel (Hans Engel)</a>, <a href="http://www.freecharity.org.uk/">pishmishy</a>, ffemtcj, <a href="http://www.viper007bond.com/">Viper007Bond</a>, <a href="http://extralogical.net/">ionfish (Benedict Eastaugh)</a>, <a href="http://www.poplarware.com/">jhodgdon (Jennifer Hodgdon)</a>, <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog/">Otto42</a>, <a href="http://www.cefm.ca/">thee17 (Charles E. Free-Melvin)</a>, and <a href="http://www.buayacorp.com/">xknown</a>. Also want to thank MichaelH and Lorelle on the documentation side, and moshu, Kafkaesqui, whooami, MichaelH, Otto42, and jeremyclark13 for helping with support.</p>
<p>The 2.5 branch is nicknamed “Brecker” in honor of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Brecker">Michael Brecker</a>, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.</p>
<h3>New WordPress.org</h3>
<p>All of this wasn’t enough, so in our copious spare time we decided to redesign WordPress.org to better match the aesthetics of the new dashboard and also to spruce up a few areas that needed lovin’. Some parts of the site, like the Codex, might show the old style for a day or two. We know, just give us a bit of time. Thanks to <a href="http://iammattthomas.com/">Matt Thomas</a> for his epic effort in designing and coding the new site.</p>
<h3>What’s Next</h3>
<p>As always with WordPress, we don’t claim any of these features to be perfect, or to be better than everyone else in the world, but they are done by and for the people and the one thing we do promise is that with every release we listen and do our best to improve. </p>
<p>2.5 is a major milestone for WordPress not because it added dozens of user-requested features, but because it reaffirms that we’re as passionate about blogging as the day we started. Our community is too fierce to rest on its laurels — contrary to what pundits claim, blogging is far from “finished” and every improvement just whets our appetite for more. And more is coming.</p>
<p>It’s a good thing WordPress doesn’t limit the length of posts, because this one would have hit it. If you made it this far, thanks for sharing a bit of your day with us. I sincerely hope this new version of WordPress helps you do what you love to do.</p>

<p>If you want to see everything I would grab a cup of coffee or a mojito, because this post is epic.</p>
<h3>User Features</h3>
<p><strong>Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard</strong> — we’ve worked hard to take your feedback about what’s most important in the dashboard and organize things to allow you to focus on what’s important — your blog — and get out of your way. In collaboration with <a href="http://happycog.com/">Happy Cog</a> and the community we’ve taken the first major step forward in the WordPress interface since version 1.5.</p>
<p><strong>Dashboard Widgets</strong> — the dashboard home page is now a series of widgets, including ones to show you fun stats about your posting, latest comments, people linking to you, new and popular plugins, and of course WordPress news. You can customize any of the dashboard widgets to show, for example, news from your local paper instead of WP news. Plugins can also hook in, for example the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/">WordPress.com stats widget</a> adds a handy double-wide stats box.</p>
<p><img src="http://s.wordpress.org/screenshots/2.5/stats-widget.png" alt="" width="690" /></p>
<p><strong>Multi-file upload with progress bar</strong> — before when you would upload a large file you’d wait forever, never knowing how far along it was. And uploading more than one photo was an exercise in patience, as you could only do one at a time. Now you can select a whole of folder images or music or videos at once and it’ll show you the progress of each upload.</p>
<p><strong>Bonus: EXIF extraction</strong> — if you upload JPEG files with EXIF metadata like camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, et al. WordPress will extract all the data into custom fields you can use in your template. If you use the EXIF title fields or similar those will be put into their equivalent fields in WP. Most modern digital cameras generate EXIF data.</p>
<p><strong>Search posts and pages</strong> — search used to cover just posts, now it includes pages too, a great boon for those using WordPress as a CMS. New themes can style or sort pages differently in results.</p>
<p><strong>Tag management</strong> — you can now add, rename, delete, and do whatever else you like to tags from inside WordPress, no plugins needed.</p>
<p><strong>Password strength meter</strong> — when you change your password on your profile it’ll tell you how strong your password is to help you pick a good one.</p>

<p>I’ve <a href="http://ma.tt/category/gallery/">uploaded more than a thousand photos already</a> into the new gallery system — it works.</p>
<p>(This was my first screencast, but I hope we can have more on WordPress.org and our documentation in the future.)</p>
<p>If you make frequent backups and you’re interested in helping us out with development by testing the very latest, <a href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC2.zip">download</a> and install <a href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC2.zip">Release Candidate 2</a> of WordPress 2.5, and <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">join our testers mailing list</a> to report any bugs you find in the code.</p>
<p>Finally with regards to theme and plugin compatibility, we’ve had no reports of any broken themes in this upgrade, which makes sense because we didn’t really change anything core about themes, just added new optional capabilities like Gravatars. Plugins that work with the admin may require updating to take advantage of the new, cleaner UI in WordPress 2.5.</p>
<p>The community has started to <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.5">keep a list here of which plugins work great and which don’t</a>. It’s worth looking at, or even better just deactivate your plugins before upgrading for 2.5 and let the built-in updater notify and give you one-click upgrades to plugins you have installed, assuming the developer is cool and has updated their code for 2.5 already.</p>

First here’s the screencast, which is also available embedded below, <a href="http://s.wordpress.org/resources/2.5/dashboard-and-images.swf">as a Flash movie</a>, or as a <a href="http://s.wordpress.org/resources/2.5/dashboard-and-images.avi">17mb AVI download</a>:</p>

<p>I’ve <a href="http://ma.tt/category/gallery/">uploaded more than a thousand photos already</a> into the new gallery system — it works.</p>
<p>(This was my first screencast, but I hope we can have more on WordPress.org and our documentation in the future.)</p>
<p>If you make frequent backups and you’re interested in helping us out with development by testing the very latest, <a href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC2.zip">download</a> and install <a href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC2.zip">Release Candidate 2</a> of WordPress 2.5, and <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">join our testers mailing list</a> to report any bugs you find in the code.</p>
<p>Finally with regards to theme and plugin compatibility, we’ve had no reports of any broken themes in this upgrade, which makes sense because we didn’t really change anything core about themes, just added new optional capabilities like Gravatars. Plugins that work with the admin may require updating to take advantage of the new, cleaner UI in WordPress 2.5.</p>
<p>The community has started to <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.5">keep a list here of which plugins work great and which don’t</a>. It’s worth looking at, or even better just deactivate your plugins before upgrading for 2.5 and let the built-in updater notify and give you one-click upgrades to plugins you have installed, assuming the developer is cool and has updated their code for 2.5 already.</p>

It turned out that both our plugins used a popular library called PclZip for adding archiving features. Due to the compatibility issue, accessing his plugin would cause a fatal PHP error saying that the PclZip class cannot be re-declared, when both our plugins were activated.</p>
<p>The compatibility issue arose because of two things;</p>
<ol>
<li>A mistake on his part while checking for existence of class objects in the code. </li>
<li>A mistake on my part of using custom libraries, instead of using those provided by WordPress core. </li>
</ol>
<p>Here is a code snippet used to check for class existence.</p>
<blockquote><p>if(! function_exists(’class_name’)) { <br />   require_once(’myclass.php’); <br />} <br />$object = new class_name();</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The above code is wrong, since:</p>
<ol>
<li>Class names cannot be accessed as functions. </li>
<li>The internal methods of a class are not available for checks, unless one decides to instantiate the class and use the method_exists instead. </li>
</ol>
<p>The correct way to check if a class exists or not can be seen in the following code.</p>
<blockquote><p>if(! class_exists(’class_name’)) { <br />   require_once(’myclass.php’); <br />} <br />$object = new class_name();</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This change in code actually solved the compatibility issue, but I would like to discuss a bit further on why one should rely on libraries provided by WordPress core instead of using their own custom libraries. The fatal error could have been avoided, if my plugin made use of the the library files from core WordPress, instead of using custom libraries included with my plugin.</p>
<p>If both our plugins had relied on the library files provided by WordPress, the require_once directive would not have re-evaluated the “same file” again, thus avoiding the duplicate class issue. Earlier versions of WordPress did not include many popular libraries, and many plugins include those libraries to provide backward compatibility. If you have to provide backward compatibility for your plugins, be sure to add in a WordPress version check so that you can rely on your own libraries, only when a version of WordPress does not provide it, doing this will certainly do away with having to tackle the compatibility issues caused by plugins using different files for the same libraries.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Including files for backward compatibility can be accomplished by using the following code.</p>
<blockquote><p>if(!class_exists(’PclZip’)) { <br />  if(file_exists(ABSPATH.’wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php’)) { <br />    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php’); <br />  } <br />  else { <br />    require_once(’/path/to/your/lib/class-pclzip.php’); <br />  } <br />}</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is also a good practice to include the classes only when you require them, and later destroy the object by using the unset() method. This is a non-exhaustive resource for tackling compatibility issues between plugins, and I will try and research more on other things that can help avoid these issues and keep informing you about them.</p>
<p>If you have your own advice about avoiding such issues, please do share them with us.</p>

<p>To be fair, Google is pretty good at figuring out where duplicate content is supposed to go but it’s better to avoid the issue completely. It also only matters if there are links to your site without the ending slash. The most common will probably be to your homepage as it’s likely internal URLs will be copy/pasted.</p>
<p><strong>How to Fix</strong><br />
You should update to version 0.7 of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/">plugin</a> which checks if your blog is affected by this problem. It also has instructions for updating the mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess. It’s fairly easy to fix. Thank you “andylav” for the mod rewrite magic!</p>
<ol>
<li> Edit the .htaccess in the root of your WordPress install.</li>
<li> You’ll see two groups of rules that look like this:<br />
<blockquote>
<pre>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} .*gzip.*
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
</pre>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li> You need to add the following 2 rules above each block of “RewriteCond” lines:<br />
<blockquote>
<pre>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
</pre>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>The rules should eventually look like this:<br />
<blockquote>
<pre>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} .*gzip.*
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
</pre>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li> Or you could just delete those rules and let the plugin regenerate them for you again.</li>
</ol>
<p>PS. Thanks also to <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/">Lloyd</a> for noticing the “enable the plugin” link was pointing at the wrong URL, and to <a href="http://cubegames.net/">Ryan</a> who spotted a minor problem with the admin page and was kind enough to send <a href="http://twitter.com/donncha">me</a> a Tweet about it.<br />
PPS. I’ve just tagged 0.7.1 to fix some problems with the updating of the .htaccess, mainly for new users. If 0.7 of the plugin works for you, there’s no need to upgrade!</p>

<p>PS. Thanks also to <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/">Lloyd</a> for noticing the “enable the plugin” link was pointing at the wrong URL, and to <a href="http://cubegames.net/">Ryan</a> who spotted a minor problem with the admin page and was kind enough to send <a href="http://twitter.com/donncha">me</a> a Tweet about it.<br />
PPS. I’ve just tagged 0.7.1 to fix some problems with the updating of the .htaccess, mainly for new users. If 0.7 of the plugin works for you, there’s no need to upgrade!</p>

<p>Developers - if your phone company isn’t covered just yet, please take a look at the existing Meteor and Vodafone plugins. The framework is there.

<p>Traversing through my feed reader after a major version of WordPress is released is always interesting to me because I’ll never know what types of reactions I’ll find. Unfortunately, I’ve been noticing a trend that is unacceptable. The basis of this post will be focused around a line of thought which I find to be anger inducing.</p>
<blockquote><p>The biggest problem lies in the fact that Wordpress is continually pushing updates too often without much in the way of testing with the most popular plugins. Podpress is huge! how could they have released 2.6 without seeing if one of the most popular plugins will work? To me the fault lies in Wordpress updating too soon. As I am on a hosted install of Wordpress, I can’t roll back, so now I am stuck. From now on, I will clearly be waiting at least two months before pushing any hosted updates of anything Wordpress related! - <a title="http://www.canonblogger.com/" href="http://www.canonblogger.com/" target="_blank">Comment Written By Jason Of Canonblogger.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>This is the type of comment I’ve been reading lately on blogs which discuss the PodPress incompatibility issue. Time to break this line of thought down. First off, lets take a look at this years timeline of WordPress releases thus far.</p>
<ul>
<li>Version 2.5 / March 29, 2008</li>
<li>Version 2.5.1 / April 25, 2008</li>
<li>Version 2.6 / July 15, 2008</li>
<li>Version 2.6.1 / August 15, 2008</li>
<li>Version 2.7 <strong>TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR</strong> November 10, 2008</li>
</ul>
<p>By looking at the release dates for actual versions used by the public, we can see that at one point, two full months went by without a release. Further that with the fact that a maintenance/security release follows a major release one month later. WordPress is publishing software which is extremely popular and this popularity has its pitfalls, mainly with security as the popularity of the platform makes for a nice target. Would you rather WordPress release updates twice a year? What happens if a major security vulnerability is discovered at the halfway point between releases? Would you want WordPress not to deviate from their release cycle? As far as I’m concerned, I’m pretty happy and relieved to see the WordPress development team up on their game, releasing updates to the software multiple times per year. With plugins such as Automatic Upgrade taking the pain out of upgrading through FTP, I don’t understand why the number of updates per year is such a hassle.</p>
<p>One of the statements in the comment above describes the fact that the WordPress team must test out the software with the most popular plugins before releasing it to the public. Since when did the responsibility of testing every plugin known to man for WordPress fall on the shoulders of the WordPress team? The answer, never! In a <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/movable-type-pro-setting-social-networking-free-vaporware-wordpress-buddypress/" target="_blank">recent post written by Lloyd Budd</a> he happened to write a statement which I whole heartedly agree with:</p>
<blockquote><p>I see the Automattic team as the WordPress guide. WordPress is completely community created and supported. Automattic takes on the big (scalability) problems that the community doesn’t have the resources for like: providing the free WordPress.com service and funding usability testing of a new WordPress dashboard experience.</p></blockquote>
<p>Based on what I’ve seen, what happens with plugins and their compatibility to WordPress is outside of the teams control. I hate to pick on PodPress in this post but it makes for a great example. Before WordPress 2.6 was released, it went through three different Beta releases with one release candidate. The first beta release happened on <a href="http://boren.nu/archives/2008/06/23/wordpress-26-beta-1/" target="_blank">Monday June 23rd, 2008.</a> The actual release of 2.6 occurred on July 15th. That makes for a total of 22 days which passed between the first beta and the actual release. In my opinion, 22 days is plenty of time to figure out if a plugin is compatible or not. Granted, there may be personal issues, lack of time, or some other reason why the plugin author has not updated a plugin. Suffice to say, a plugin not working lies on the shoulders of the plugin author, not the WordPress development team.</p>
<p>PodPress is a special case in that the WordPress team actually created a patch for the plugin and then sent it to the plugin author. This was reported by Matt himself on a <a href="http://xfep.com/podcast-tips/podpress-and-wordpress-26-a-quick-update/" target="_blank">post written by David Peralty</a>. Apparently, the patch never made it to PodPress and to this day, the plugin is incompatible thanks to an issue with the post revision feature. Matt did comment on the fact that there is not much they could do except commit the code directly without Dan’s permission.</p>
<h2>Conclusion:</h2>
<p>The bottom line is this. WordPress has a good release cycle and in my opinion, provides plenty of time for plugin authors to test their plugins with the newest version of WordPress before the public gets a hold of it. My opinion is that, the WordPress team can not and probably will not take it upon themselves to insure that all major plugins work correctly with current/future versions of WordPress. So the next time you upgrade WordPress and realize your favorite plugin is broke, don’t blame the WordPress team, blame the source.</p>";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:31:35 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:13:"Jeff Chandler";}s:7:"summary";s:6087:"<p><a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/2008/08/blamegame.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4004" title="The WordPress Blame Game" src="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/2008/08/blamegame-300x84.png" alt="" width="300" height="84" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/liz-strauss-comment-count-badge-widget-wordpress/" title="Liz Strauss Comment Counter">PlanetOzh has created</a> the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/liz-comment-counter-by-ozh/" title="Liz Comment Counter by Ozh">Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin</a> which honors the popular blog conversation expert, <a href="http://www.successful-blog.com/" title="Liz Strauss - Successful and Outstanding Bloggers" rel="tag">Liz Strauss</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/liz-strauss-comment-count-badge-widget-wordpress/" title="Liz Strauss Comment Counter"><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountinterface.png?w=437&h=214" alt="" width="437" height="214" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2920" /></a>If you want to brag about your blog’s comment count, this is the Plugin to try. The Liz Strauss Comment Counter Plugin adds a chicklet comment counter similar to Feedburner to your blog. You can configure it with a variety of colors and styles. Ozh has included a lot of great features to customize the look to match your blog’s color scheme and styles. This is a great way to show off the number of comments on your blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountermomworx.jpg"><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountermomworx.jpg?w=192&h=300" alt="" width="192" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2919" /></a>Think about it. Instead of the arbitrary judgment of how many feed subscribers or visitors you have on your blog, you could give valuable feedback to your blog visitors on how social your blog really is. Every time someone leaves a comment, the count increases. Think of the possibilities!</p>
<p>You could have contests that help drive up the comment count. You could ask people to bet on when your comment count will break a significant score like 10,000, 100,000, or maybe even 100. Blogs could compete against each other to raise their comment count. Or it could just sit there and let the world know that you welcome comments. The more the merrier.</p>
<p>The Comment Count Plugin is getting rave reviews and can be seen in action at <a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/" title="Hot For Words">Hot for Words</a> and <a href="http://momworx.de/" title="Momworx">Momworx</a>. The Plugin has been translated into Italian, too.</p>

<p>So what would you do with your blog’s comment count score?</p>

<h4>What About WordPress.com Bloggers? We Want to Count Our Comments!</h4>
<p>If you are interested in requesting the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/liz-comment-counter-by-ozh/" title="Liz Comment Counter by Ozh">Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin</a> be among the Widget sidebar options for <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/" title="WordPress.com free blogs" rel="tag">WordPress.com</a> blogs, let them know. Ask in the <a href="http://wordpress.com/forums/" title="WordPress.com Forums">WordPress.com Forums</a> and chime in behind those who asked first.</p>
<p>One of the ways a WordPress Plugin or Widget makes it into WordPress.com is by being among the top downloaded and most popular Plugins on the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/" title="WordPress Plugins Extends">WordPress Plugin Directory</a>. If you have the full version of WordPress, have your say on how you like it, and encourage others to download and install it.</p>
<p>I really think that the blog comment war is going to heat up with this new hot Plugin.</p>

<p><a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/liz-strauss-comment-count-badge-widget-wordpress/" title="Liz Strauss Comment Counter">PlanetOzh has created</a> the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/liz-comment-counter-by-ozh/" title="Liz Comment Counter by Ozh">Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin</a> which honors the popular blog conversation expert, <a href="http://www.successful-blog.com/" title="Liz Strauss - Successful and Outstanding Bloggers" rel="tag">Liz Strauss</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/liz-strauss-comment-count-badge-widget-wordpress/" title="Liz Strauss Comment Counter"><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountinterface.png?w=437&h=214" alt="" width="437" height="214" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2920" /></a>If you want to brag about your blog’s comment count, this is the Plugin to try. The Liz Strauss Comment Counter Plugin adds a chicklet comment counter similar to Feedburner to your blog. You can configure it with a variety of colors and styles. Ozh has included a lot of great features to customize the look to match your blog’s color scheme and styles. This is a great way to show off the number of comments on your blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountermomworx.jpg"><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcountermomworx.jpg?w=192&h=300" alt="" width="192" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2919" /></a>Think about it. Instead of the arbitrary judgment of how many feed subscribers or visitors you have on your blog, you could give valuable feedback to your blog visitors on how social your blog really is. Every time someone leaves a comment, the count increases. Think of the possibilities!</p>
<p>You could have contests that help drive up the comment count. You could ask people to bet on when your comment count will break a significant score like 10,000, 100,000, or maybe even 100. Blogs could compete against each other to raise their comment count. Or it could just sit there and let the world know that you welcome comments. The more the merrier.</p>
<p>The Comment Count Plugin is getting rave reviews and can be seen in action at <a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/" title="Hot For Words">Hot for Words</a> and <a href="http://momworx.de/" title="Momworx">Momworx</a>. The Plugin has been translated into Italian, too.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/" title="Hot For Words"><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/commentcounterhotforwords.jpg?w=486&h=384" alt="" width="486" height="384" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2918" /></a></p>
<p>So what would you do with your blog’s comment count score?</p>

And I need your help.</p>
<p>I will be talking about how <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/" title="WordPress" rel="tag">WordPress</a> is changing lives, not just from the blogging experience but truly changing your life from stem to stern.</p>
<p>WordPress and <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/" title="WordPress.com free blogs" rel="tag">WordPress.com</a> free blogs give a voice to those who may never have had the chance to express themselves. With WordPress, they have the chance to be heard. I want to honor those people.</p>
<p>WordPress fans are amazingly supportive of each other. There have been a variety of aggregators, directories, Digg-style voting sites for WordPress fans only, forums, and more as WordPress brings people together to collaborate based upon their love of WordPress. Fans are willing to pick WordPress apart and put it back together even stronger. Has your life been changed by being a part of the WordPress Community? I want to honor you.</p>
<p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/img_0488.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2801" />WordPress allows those with no money and no expertise in web publishing or design to setup a website to promote their opinion, ideas, products, services, and lives, but also works hard for communities such as small towns, member associations, non-profits, political movements, researchers, educators, hobbyists, and families. I want to honor the communities whose lives have been changed by WordPress.</p>
<p>WordPress has turned many fans of web design, development, and blogging into experts. Was your life heading in one direction and then turned into a web-related business through your enthusiasm for WordPress? I want to honor you, too.</p>
<p>To contact me with your “How WordPress has changed my life” stories, you can blog it on your blog and trackback to here (or post a link), write it up with <em>valid contact information and blog URL</em> in the comment form (not the comment box) in this post’s comments, or <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/category/wordpress-news/feed/lorelleonwordpress@gmail.com" title="Email Lorelle">email me</a> with <strong>WordCamp Portland Talk</strong> in the subject title.

And I need your help.</p>
<p>I will be talking about how <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/" title="WordPress" rel="tag">WordPress</a> is changing lives, not just from the blogging experience but truly changing your life from stem to stern.</p>
<p>WordPress and <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/" title="WordPress.com free blogs" rel="tag">WordPress.com</a> free blogs give a voice to those who may never have had the chance to express themselves. With WordPress, they have the chance to be heard. I want to honor those people.</p>
<p>WordPress fans are amazingly supportive of each other. There have been a variety of aggregators, directories, Digg-style voting sites for WordPress fans only, forums, and more as WordPress brings people together to collaborate based upon their love of WordPress. Fans are willing to pick WordPress apart and put it back together even stronger. Has your life been changed by being a part of the WordPress Community? I want to honor you.</p>
<p><img src="http://lorelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/img_0488.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2801" />WordPress allows those with no money and no expertise in web publishing or design to setup a website to promote their opinion, ideas, products, services, and lives, but also works hard for communities such as small towns, member associations, non-profits, political movements, researchers, educators, hobbyists, and families. I want to honor the communities whose lives have been changed by WordPress.</p>
<p>WordPress has turned many fans of web design, development, and blogging into experts. Was your life heading in one direction and then turned into a web-related business through your enthusiasm for WordPress? I want to honor you, too.</p>
<p>To contact me with your “How WordPress has changed my life” stories, you can blog it on your blog and trackback to here (or post a link), write it up with <em>valid contact information and blog URL</em> in the comment form (not the comment box) in this post’s comments, or <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/category/wordpress-news/feed/lorelleonwordpress@gmail.com" title="Email Lorelle">email me</a> with <strong>WordCamp Portland Talk</strong> in the subject title.

<p>There are a couple of things immediately apparent from David’s tweat:</p>
<ol>
<li>He has never exported a blog from TypePad</li>
<li>He has never written a blog exporter using AtomPub</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Never exported a blog from TypePad</strong></p>
<p>I know this because I’ve done numerous TypePad exports and also working through my customers trying to get support from Six Apart in the export. For most TypePad blogs, it’s impossible to truly export the blog. Six Apart provides no tools or documentation on how to export in a way that preserves the permalinks, and because of a <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/typepad-seo-blows/">bug in TypePad</a> and an unpublished permalink creation rules that have changed over the years, it guarantees a tedious, manual process to truly export the blog.</p>

<p><strong>Never written a blog exporter using AtomPub</strong></p>
<p>Having tried to guide <a href="http://cavemonkey50.com/">Ronald Heft Jr</a> in creating AtomPub exporters for TypePad and Movable Type, my only conclusion is that no member of Six Apart has written a blog exporter using AtomPub.</p>
<p>Six Apart VP <a href="http://dashes.com/anil/">Anil Dash</a> likes to brag about them having helped create Atom and AtomPub. An exporter would have been one of the perfect real world applications to create as part of the creation of the specification. And wouldn’t you think if they were going to tell everyone that is the solution to exporting from TypePad that they would have built such an exporter? They couldn’t have because<strong> you can’t without hacking around AtomPub</strong>, a lot, which is what Ronald has done.</p>
<p>Then as we had it working, hacks and all, this past weekend, TypePad changed it, fixing one aspect of their AtomPub (drafts are identified), changing a few things that we can adjust to (changed the URL endpoints, switched to MT tag names for consistentency), but also <strong>breaking our importer</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can no longer retrieve comments on posts.</li>
<li>No longer contains Pages.</li>
<li>XML-RPC for trackback retrieval broke.</li>
</ul>
<p>These issues have been reported to Six Apart and hopefully they will be fixed soon, but there is <strong>absolutely zero transparency</strong>. There is no way for us to check on the status of these issues. Wouldn’t you expect the changes to be documented on the “<a href="http://everything.typepad.com/">The Official Everything TypePad weblog</a>” and mentioned on <a href="http://status.sixapart.com/">“Six Apart Status</a>“?</p>
<p>I cringe to think of the mess it would have been if we had already included the TypePad AtomPub importer in a release.</p>
<p>It seems that independent developers are left out in the cold.</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="http://openwebfoundation.org/">open web</a> starts at home</strong></p>
<p>Although, I’m excited by the work Ronald is doing, should it really be necessary for TypePad customers to come to the WordPress community to export their blogs?</p>
<p>I’m reminded of Dave Winer’s excellent article “<a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/05/26/howToDoDataPortability.html">How to do data portability</a>” which includes “The best way to achieve data portability is to just do it”.

<p><strong>Never exported a blog from TypePad</strong></p>
<p>I know this because I’ve done numerous TypePad exports and also working through my customers trying to get support from Six Apart in the export. For most TypePad blogs, it’s impossible to truly export the blog. Six Apart provides no tools or documentation on how to export in a way that preserves the permalinks, and because of a <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/typepad-seo-blows/">bug in TypePad</a> and an unpublished permalink creation rules that have changed over the years, it guarantees a tedious, manual process to truly export the blog.</p>

<p>I talked about how important it is that we push WordPress as far as possible, even to the breaking point, to make sure it will work across all operating systems, all hosts, all browsers, all setups - in every way we can. The more we push WordPress, the more the community benefits from the fixes. Trust me, WordPress can take it, but we need to do more.</p>
<p>Examples covered in the presentation include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/liz-strauss-is-breaking-the-web-and-pushing-wordpress/" title="Liz Strauss is Breaking the Web and Pushing WordPress">Liz Strauss is Breaking the Web and Pushing WordPress</a> as an example of how Liz wanted to publish 260 posts, one a minute, using the <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/working-ahead-future-posts-with-wordpress/" title="Working Ahead - Future Posts with WordPress">future post/timestamp feature</a> of WordPress.

<li>When you can’t use WordPress Plugins, like on WordPress.com blogs, creative people like Engtech of <a href="http://internetducttape.com/" title="Internet Duct Tape">Internet Duct Tape</a> said, “We can do more!” He created some <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748" title="Greasemonkey">Greasemonkey FireFox Extension</a> scripts that improve how WordPress works for WordPress and WordPress.com blogs. <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12239" title="WordPress Comment Ninja">WordPress Comment Ninja</a> adds comment replies from the Comments Panel. <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7037" title="Akismet Auntie Spam for WordPress">Auntie Akismet Spam for WordPress</a> condenses Akismet spam to two lines and combines redundant comment spam to speed up comment spam checking for false/positives by an incredible amount.

<p>I talked about how important it is that we push WordPress as far as possible, even to the breaking point, to make sure it will work across all operating systems, all hosts, all browsers, all setups - in every way we can. The more we push WordPress, the more the community benefits from the fixes. Trust me, WordPress can take it, but we need to do more.</p>

<p><span id="more-1373"></span></p>
<p>If I wasn’t clear my video really is in no way a comment of the MT Pro product — I’ve never tried it. All the Six Apart teams are clearly very talented, so I’m sure it’s a great product. Though I’m pretty sure it won’t live up to “setting social networking free”.</p>
<p>Let’s break it down:</p>
<blockquote><p>focus more on telling a story</p></blockquote>
<p>People that know me, know that I’m all about the story that a product tells, and I think their video failed in the very way that he thinks they succeeded. I didn’t see a compelling story about the experience of Movable Type Pro. As my voice-over reflects, I saw a story that looked like any blogging platform and comments.</p>
<p>Both of us are extremely biased at opposites ends of the spectrum, so neither of us will get it right on this one. I would love to know the results of a diverse group of people each separately watching the video and sharing their reactions.</p>
<blockquote><p>Honestly, we <em>assume</em> that that everyone else on the web will respond by copying great ideas, as they usually do. Hell, we <em>want</em> them to, so that more people can benefit from open communities on the web.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are familiar with Anil’s writing, you may end up with the conclusion, like I have, that he is actually obsessed with being first — or that is one of the SIx Apart key messages anyway. Maybe, it all started because he was Six Apart’s first employee. Check out the Movable Type blog, “<a href="http://www.movabletype.com/blog/2008/03/a-wordpress-25-upgrade-guide.html">A WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Guide</a>” [sic] article for a bit of a taste. If you enjoy the flavor, a Google search will lead you across the Web.</p>
<p>Of any software spaces, blogging is one of the richest for borrowing from each other and providing a consistent experience to customers — everyone benefits from this! I’d like to think WordPress has had as many firsts as any blogging platform, but even if that isn’t the case, I’m much more interested in focusing on doing it well. An example is the TypePad iPhone app was an iPhone launch partner, but the <a href="http://iphone.wordpress.org/">WordPress iPhone app</a> is much more popular, has more reviews, and is higher rated, and we are still busy fixing and improving it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Until then, they’ve created a parody of our video.</p></blockquote>
<p>So me spending a couple hours playing around with iMovie in my own time (my 1st time using it), somehow becomes the Automattic answer to MT Pro?! And as I mentioned, no link love, no mention of my name (Lloyd Budd) — very, very bad blogger etiquette. Is iMovie that good that Anil thinks it’s a first rate production? I don’t think so, listening to it again, it is clearly the crap job that I remember doing for my own amusement.</p>
<blockquote><p>without having your it look like another Facebook or MySpace clone</p></blockquote>
<p>Did I voice-over the wrong video? I’m pretty sure it was their video that started with Digg, Facebook and MySpace. I might have misspoke, but I thought it would be obvious that I was referring to having social features beyond commenting like those platforms.</p>
<blockquote><p>Our long-held reputation for publishing highly scalable, “Digg-proof” pages.</p></blockquote>
<p>That is one of Anil’s favorite sound bites. I know Anil can’t seriously be suggesting that a file based “cache” is a whole solution to being highly scalable.</p>
<p>The funny part is that substitute in WordPress and you have at least an equally true assertion, ‘[WordPress's] long-held reputation for publishing highly scalable, “Digg-proof” pages.’ The reason why this sometimes looks not to be true is because of WordPress’s popularity.</p>
<p>I would bet, with no hesitation, that WordPress sites are far more often dugg, and that unfortunately some of those sites dugg, like my own, are on inexpensive, shared hosted environments that aren’t Digg ready.</p>
<p>For most WordPress customers the dynamic, responsive experience is far more important than “Digg-proof”, but for those that do want to prepare for a digg storm, there are high quality plugins like <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/">Super Cache</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/batcache/">Batcache</a> and many others that suit your specific configuration and needs.</p>
<p>There is no question that WordPress is scalable, fact is WordPress powers far more of the web than Movable Type, both in terms of web pages served and web sites. Fact is Movable Type doesn’t even power Six Apart’s hosted TypePad, and to my great frustration is incompatible in numerous ways — wonder why there is no Movable Type app for iPhone anyone?</p>
<blockquote><p>remedy some of the missing features in WordPress if you have enough free time to find the appropriate plugins</p></blockquote>
<p>Talking out the other side of his face, Anil will point out Movable Type’s rich plugin and theme collection. I’m pretty sure, Pro has even been presented as plugins built on top of MT at one time — bundling.</p>
<p>Of course, there is a huge collection, much larger, of WordPress plugins and themes, and I haven’t heard complaints that it’s hard to find the appropriate plugin. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins">wordpress.org/extend/plugins</a> gives you information about popularity, and the interface will continue to evolve.</p>
<p>This past weekend, during <a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt’s</a> “State of the Word” at WordCamp SF 2008 (<a href="http://onemansblog.com/">video will be online soon</a>!), spoke to how that experience will change and how the actually WordPress plugin usage data will directly help WordPress evolve, with top plugins are polished and integrated into WordPress.</p>
<blockquote><p>prominent independent security researchers <a href="http://pwnie-awards.org/2008/awards.html#mass0wnage">do warn</a>, “[T]he abysmal security practices of WordPress plugin developers places the entire Internet at risk”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Why pick on the plugin developers brother?</p>
<blockquote><p>That’s on top of WordPress being one of <a href="http://www.cmswatch.com/Trends/1340-Quick:-what-do-Joomla%21,-Drupal,-and-WordPress-have-in-common">top ten least secure applications</a> around</p></blockquote>
<p>Each of the most popular blogging and CMS made the list, as does Linux.</p>
<blockquote><p>the <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/blog/2008/06/movable-type-a-history-of-secu.html">Department of Homeland Security’s data</a> showing WordPress having <strong>twelve times</strong> as many reported security vulnerabilities as Movable Type</p></blockquote>
<p>Should I even touch this one? Since Anil discovered that Home Land Security site I think that has become his favorite. I think it’s more telling that the Department of Homeland Security, and <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/seanosh/2782348919/">many other US government offices use WordPress</a> (<a href="http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/us-government-agencies-using-wordpress/">conversation</a>).</p>
<p>And Anil’s article is one of the worst security related articles I’ve ever read. No security expert, nor scientific minded person would sign their name on it with it’s broad, sloppy brush strokes.</p>
<p>There is shame. Security was part of Matt’s State the Word. I don’t know anyone in the WordPress community that is happy with our security history, but it’s getting better and so <a href="http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/12243/mark-jaquith-on-wordpress-security-for-plugin-developers">are our developers</a>.</p>
<p>There is appropriate optimism. With each release I see more potential security issues being reviewed and, when genuine, fixed earlier in the release process. The foundation of WordPress is also being improved to make security mistakes more difficult.</p>
<p>No one justifies the security issues because of popularity, but the IBM’s paper does reflect with popularity comes scrutiny. The loudest message from the paper might be that the bad guys have moved their focus from Windows to open source and to the web.</p>
<p>It seems only in the last couple of years has web security come to the forefront of the industries collective mind, and we’re all learning a lot. All three “top ten”, WordPress, Drupal and Joomla are benefiting from each others improvements, and the larger PHP community is helping a lot.</p>
<p>If Movable Type was as popular, and under the same amount of scrutiny, I can’t imagine they would still be storing passwords as plain text.</p>
<p>I’m confident that WordPress’s security record will get better and better!</p>

<p>That last link there is a 404, and maybe that is meta irony there. All those links go to Six Apart services, as does one from earlier in Anil’s article “(We’ll even <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/services/">help you design it</a>.)”.</p>
<p>This is probably the largest difference between Movable Type and WordPress. WordPress is community developed and support — world class.</p>
<p>I remember reading Anil’s comment on <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/about_josh.php">Josh Catone</a>’s Read Write Web article “<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/six_apart_microblogging_activity_streams.php">Six Apart Gets Into Microblogging with Activity Streams</a>“. Here Anil didn’t like that WordPress <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/prologue">Prologue</a> — actually that’s a great example of someone not getting the idea, the story — but what bothered me was his attitude towards WordPress plugin developers:</p>
<blockquote><p>There’s also an important distinction that this is a key part of our platform, developed by the core MT team itself. That means that it’s not a PHP script somebody cobbled together on their own to try to make a lifestream, it’s a framework to actually help open up *all* of these services</p></blockquote>
<p>I read that as disrespectful to independent developers, WordPress or otherwise.</p>
<p>I see the <a href="http://automattic.com/">Automattic</a> team as the WordPress guide. WordPress is completely community created and supported. Automattic takes on the big (scalability) problems that the community doesn’t have the resources for like: providing the free WordPress.com service and fuding usability testing of a new WordPress dashboard experience.</p>
<p>We work with our community, not compete with our community. The work Automattic does is open source, released under the GPL.</p>
<p>Though the <a href="http://automattic.com/services/wordpress-consultants/">WordPress Consultants list</a>, <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-pro">wp-pro</a> and<a href="http://jobs.wordpress.net/"> WP jobs</a> are pretty good tools, currently, I expect much of the WordPress professionals’ work through personal relationships in the community. I think this is one of our greatest opportunities as a community. If you agree (blog about it) get in touch <a href="http://toni.schneidersf.com/2008/08/18/wordcamp-presentation/">with Toni</a>.</p>
<p>I mentioned that the work Automattic does is open source, whenever possible (Akismet is an exception). This isn’t the case with Six Apart’s Movable Type. I’ve written at length, “<a href="http://foolswisdom.com/movable-type-200-open-source/">Movable Type 200% Open Source!</a>“, about the missed opportunity.</p>
<p>With the release of Movable Type Pro, I think Six Apart’s current approach is bad for open source and actually dilutes open source. It seems others share my opinion, as on every thread there seems to be an open source advocate upset about MT Pro not being open source.</p>
<p>At first I was excited to see that the open source information was now on MovableType.com’s <a href="http://movabletype.com/download/">download page</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lloyds-screenies/2782630277/" title="Movable Type: Download the Movable Type blog software and build your site today by lloydsscreenies, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3044/2782630277_6f969d80e8.jpg" alt="Movable Type: Download the Movable Type blog software and build your site today" width="500" height="277" /></a></p>
<p>But then I realized the game this table plays is that the open source version isn’t good enough for “Bloggers”, only freetards like myself. I’m pretty sure, I’ve also read Six Apart telling people that the open source version isn’t tested or supported (but it’s the same software without some plugins, promise).</p>
<blockquote><p>First, we set publishing free. Next up, social networks.</p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, the WordPress community can take that first credit (not that I’m obsessed with 1sts) by creating the most popular installed blogging software, and it being open source. I don’t know about the next up, but there are many contenders, and WordPress and BuddyPress communities would be honored to be among them.</p>
<p>If I wanted to use Movable Type Pro for a social network with that Six Apart’s pricing it would probably be a social network of one. Anyway, without it being open source, it won’t be setting any one free, just making it a little easier to disobey the boss.</p>
<p>And that is why I think, Anil, people are so excited about BuddyPress, because it is among the real possibilities of setting social networking free.</p>
<blockquote><p>our lead by planning to provide some of these abilities for WordPress in a collection of plugins that you should be able to assemble around Christmastime or so</p></blockquote>
<p>There are so many reasons why I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dashes.com/anil/">Anil Dash</a> has been pissing all over the web calling BuddyPress vaporware. See his comments at:</p>
<ul>
<li>CNET Webware “<a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10015089-2.html?hhTest=1&part=rss&subj=Webware">Movable Type, Wordpress becoming social platforms</a>“</li>

</ul>
<p>Where I come from, vaporware is a derogatory term. It’s clear that he doesn’t like WordPress <a href="http://buddypress.org/">BuddyPress</a> being part of the conversation.</p>
<p>BuddyPress isn’t vaporware, a community is developing it today. You can download the code today. It is open source today!</p>
<p>I get emails and IMs from friends that have checked it out and are already grooving on where it is going.</p>
<blockquote><p>Collection of plugins</p></blockquote>
<p>That is just a packaging issue, and packaging issues are easy.</p>
<blockquote><p>Christmastime or so</p></blockquote>
<p>This coming from a key member of the team that made a press release seven months before the open source flavor of Movable Type — well over a year, if a public bug tracker is an important detail to you. The community will decide when the code is ready to be called a product.</p>
<p>Wow, this is way long. I’ll wrap it up here.</p>
<p>I didn’t find the Movable Type Pro introductory video well done or sincere, hence the parody. Am I really so bad for poking fun at the competition? Does the tension date back to Six Apart not being invited to the Blogger and WordPress dance off?</p>";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:45:13 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:5:"Lloyd";}s:7:"summary";s:16795:"<p>Six Apart VP Anil’s response today on the <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/blog/2008/08/movable-type-pro-now-with-comm.html">official Six Apart blog</a> to my Movable Type Pro Introduction video parody doesn’t surprise me, but where is the link love?</p>
<p><span id="more-1373"></span></p>
<p>If I wasn’t clear my video really is in no way a comment of the MT Pro product — I’ve never tried it. All the Six Apart teams are clearly very talented, so I’m sure it’s a great product. Though I’m pretty sure it won’t live up to “setting social networking free”.</p>
<p>Let’s break it down:</p>
<blockquote><p>focus more on telling a story</p></blockquote>
<p>People that know me, know that I’m all about the story that a product tells, and I think their video failed in the very way that he thinks they succeeded. I didn’t see a compelling story about the experience of Movable Type Pro. As my voice-over reflects, I saw a story that looked like any blogging platform and comments.</p>
<p>Both of us are extremely biased at opposites ends of the spectrum, so neither of us will get it right on this one. I would love to know the results of a diverse group of people each separately watching the video and sharing their reactions.</p>
<blockquote><p>Honestly, we <em>assume</em> that that everyone else on the web will respond by copying great ideas, as they usually do. Hell, we <em>want</em> them to, so that more people can benefit from open communities on the web.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are familiar with Anil’s writing, you may end up with the conclusion, like I have, that he is actually obsessed with being first — or that is one of the SIx Apart key messages anyway. Maybe, it all started because he was Six Apart’s first employee. Check out the Movable Type blog, “<a href="http://www.movabletype.com/blog/2008/03/a-wordpress-25-upgrade-guide.html">A WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Guide</a>” [sic] article for a bit of a taste. If you enjoy the flavor, a Google search will lead you across the Web.</p>
<p>Of any software spaces, blogging is one of the richest for borrowing from each other and providing a consistent experience to customers — everyone benefits from this! I’d like to think WordPress has had as many firsts as any blogging platform, but even if that isn’t the case, I’m much more interested in focusing on doing it well. An example is the TypePad iPhone app was an iPhone launch partner, but the <a href="http://iphone.wordpress.org/">WordPress iPhone app</a> is much more popular, has more reviews, and is higher rated, and we are still busy fixing and improving it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Until then, they’ve created a parody of our video.</p></blockquote>
<p>So me spending a couple hours playing around with iMovie in my own time (my 1st time using it), somehow becomes the Automattic answer to MT Pro?! And as I mentioned, no link love, no mention of my name (Lloyd Budd) — very, very bad blogger etiquette. Is iMovie that good that Anil thinks it’s a first rate production? I don’t think so, listening to it again, it is clearly the crap job that I remember doing for my own amusement.</p>
<blockquote><p>without having your it look like another Facebook or MySpace clone</p></blockquote>
<p>Did I voice-over the wrong video? I’m pretty sure it was their video that started with Digg, Facebook and MySpace. I might have misspoke, but I thought it would be obvious that I was referring to having social features beyond commenting like those platforms.</p>
<blockquote><p>Our long-held reputation for publishing highly scalable, “Digg-proof” pages.</p></blockquote>
<p>That is one of Anil’s favorite sound bites. I know Anil can’t seriously be suggesting that a file based “cache” is a whole solution to being highly scalable.</p>
<p>The funny part is that substitute in WordPress and you have at least an equally true assertion, ‘[WordPress's] long-held reputation for publishing highly scalable, “Digg-proof” pages.’ The reason why this sometimes looks not to be true is because of WordPress’s popularity.</p>
<p>I would bet, with no hesitation, that WordPress sites are far more often dugg, and that unfortunately some of those sites dugg, like my own, are on inexpensive, shared hosted environments that aren’t Digg ready.</p>
<p>For most WordPress customers the dynamic, responsive experience is far more important than “Digg-proof”, but for those that do want to prepare for a digg storm, there are high quality plugins like <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/">Super Cache</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/batcache/">Batcache</a> and many others that suit your specific configuration and needs.</p>
<p>There is no question that WordPress is scalable, fact is WordPress powers far more of the web than Movable Type, both in terms of web pages served and web sites. Fact is Movable Type doesn’t even power Six Apart’s hosted TypePad, and to my great frustration is incompatible in numerous ways — wonder why there is no Movable Type app for iPhone anyone?</p>
<blockquote><p>remedy some of the missing features in WordPress if you have enough free time to find the appropriate plugins</p></blockquote>
<p>Talking out the other side of his face, Anil will point out Movable Type’s rich plugin and theme collection. I’m pretty sure, Pro has even been presented as plugins built on top of MT at one time — bundling.</p>
<p>Of course, there is a huge collection, much larger, of WordPress plugins and themes, and I haven’t heard complaints that it’s hard to find the appropriate plugin. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins">wordpress.org/extend/plugins</a> gives you information about popularity, and the interface will continue to evolve.</p>
<p>This past weekend, during <a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt’s</a> “State of the Word” at WordCamp SF 2008 (<a href="http://onemansblog.com/">video will be online soon</a>!), spoke to how that experience will change and how the actually WordPress plugin usage data will directly help WordPress evolve, with top plugins are polished and integrated into WordPress.</p>
<blockquote><p>prominent independent security researchers <a href="http://pwnie-awards.org/2008/awards.html#mass0wnage">do warn</a>, “[T]he abysmal security practices of WordPress plugin developers places the entire Internet at risk”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Why pick on the plugin developers brother?</p>
<blockquote><p>That’s on top of WordPress being one of <a href="http://www.cmswatch.com/Trends/1340-Quick:-what-do-Joomla%21,-Drupal,-and-WordPress-have-in-common">top ten least secure applications</a> around</p></blockquote>
<p>Each of the most popular blogging and CMS made the list, as does Linux.</p>
<blockquote><p>the <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/blog/2008/06/movable-type-a-history-of-secu.html">Department of Homeland Security’s data</a> showing WordPress having <strong>twelve times</strong> as many reported security vulnerabilities as Movable Type</p></blockquote>
<p>Should I even touch this one? Since Anil discovered that Home Land Security site I think that has become his favorite. I think it’s more telling that the Department of Homeland Security, and <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/seanosh/2782348919/">many other US government offices use WordPress</a> (<a href="http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/us-government-agencies-using-wordpress/">conversation</a>).</p>
<p>And Anil’s article is one of the worst security related articles I’ve ever read. No security expert, nor scientific minded person would sign their name on it with it’s broad, sloppy brush strokes.</p>
<p>There is shame. Security was part of Matt’s State the Word. I don’t know anyone in the WordPress community that is happy with our security history, but it’s getting better and so <a href="http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/12243/mark-jaquith-on-wordpress-security-for-plugin-developers">are our developers</a>.</p>
<p>There is appropriate optimism. With each release I see more potential security issues being reviewed and, when genuine, fixed earlier in the release process. The foundation of WordPress is also being improved to make security mistakes more difficult.</p>
<p>No one justifies the security issues because of popularity, but the IBM’s paper does reflect with popularity comes scrutiny. The loudest message from the paper might be that the bad guys have moved their focus from Windows to open source and to the web.</p>
<p>It seems only in the last couple of years has web security come to the forefront of the industries collective mind, and we’re all learning a lot. All three “top ten”, WordPress, Drupal and Joomla are benefiting from each others improvements, and the larger PHP community is helping a lot.</p>
<p>If Movable Type was as popular, and under the same amount of scrutiny, I can’t imagine they would still be storing passwords as plain text.</p>
<p>I’m confident that WordPress’s security record will get better and better!</p>

This version is one that my company, <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com">Crowd Favorite</a>, had the pleasure of helping build.</p>
<p>The new plugin makes it easy for you to enable Lijit search from the default WordPress search box, or you can add in the full Lijit <del>widget</del> wijit if you like.</p>
<p>I use Lijit search on <a href="http://alexking.info" rel="external">alexking.info</a>, where I aggregate content from all of the various sites and services I publish content on. The Lijit search performs a search across all of that content - pretty slick.</p>
<p>I’m pretty pleased with the overall user experience for the plugin. It nicely handles set-up for new or existing users, gives straightforward options and instructions, and even brings in your Lijit search stats with a new link on the WordPress admin dashboard.</p>

This version is one that my company, <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com">Crowd Favorite</a>, had the pleasure of helping build.</p>
<p>The new plugin makes it easy for you to enable Lijit search from the default WordPress search box, or you can add in the full Lijit <del>widget</del> wijit if you like.</p>
<p>I use Lijit search on <a href="http://alexking.info" rel="external">alexking.info</a>, where I aggregate content from all of the various sites and services I publish content on. The Lijit search performs a search across all of that content - pretty slick.</p>
<p>I’m pretty pleased with the overall user experience for the plugin. It nicely handles set-up for new or existing users, gives straightforward options and instructions, and even brings in your Lijit search stats with a new link on the WordPress admin dashboard.</p>

<p>I started on my Masters degree in Computer Science after having worked in the industry for over four years. I decided that my education in Physics was not enough because it did not give me the ability to make enough of a difference to the people that I worked for. I could solve their problems and try my very best to make them smile when I left their establishment (I worked as a computer tech, making my way up to service manager when I quit) but I did not have the ability to help change their computing world and make them more content with their technology. I was just a fixer and could not enable change. So I quit my job, took out some loans, borrowed some money from my parents and went right back to school.</p>
<p>When I started school, I was fresh to programming. I had written some code in C for my undergraduate thesis and had taken one programming class at Wooster. However, truth be told, I was a real newbie in the programming world and was faced with a complex and advanced Computer Science curriculum that scared the living snot out of me. While searching the web for a project to sink my teeth into, I ran into blogging, then into b2 which finally led to me WordPress and a lanky kid from Texas with a lot of ideas and some fantastic leadership skills. I figured I would start two blogs to dip my toe in the water. One would be my personal blog and the other would be a log of all the programming work that I was doing. I figured it would help me get my arms around code, would help me help others and I would chronicle my journey in programming.</p>
<p>When I downloaded and installed WordPress, I had no clue about PHP, SQL, web servers or about most of the other technologies that I worked with. I huffed and puffed, stumbled and fumbled, tore my hair out and swore like a pirate almost every night when I sat down to play with my PHP scripts after finishing my Knowledge Based Systems homework. After much learning and quite a few painstaking weeks, I put together a few ‘hacks” for WordPress to make it do the things I wanted it to do and posted them on the support forums and on my blog.</p>
<p>But I quickly learned that the magic was not within me. The magic was within the community, the ideals championed by the community and benevolent nature of the community. Every hack was welcomed with open arms. Every tip that I posted made me more friends. Every theme I hacked up with my color blind eyes made me more popular. People started to recognize my name in the forums. I regularly received emails and conversed with folks from across the world. Before I knew it, I was a part of a fantastic community where I was more than just a nickname. The experience was sickeningly satisfying. The WordPress bug had bitten me and I could not stop scratching.</p>
<p>But the community was growing very quickly. I was not the only person that found solace in being within the community. There were dissensions, disagreements, flare ups, trolling and everything else in between. In watching various events unfold that first year, I learned my first lesson in community building.</p>
<p><em>Everyone speaks a different language even if we all speak English.</em></p>
<p>This is a well discussed and researched topic so anything I say has probably been said more lucidly in the past. But here is why I think our community works in spite of all our differences.</p>
<p><em>We have a glue. The glue is WordPress.</em></p>
<p>Why are we all such fans of a piece of software? I am a fan because it has helped me promote myself and my work. My dad is a fan because it helps him teach others about his fascinating ideas on alternative medication and spread wellness and news on staying healthy.</p>
<p><em>WordPress is a gift that keeps on giving.</em></p>
<p>WordPress is not just a one time pleasure. It continues to give me a lot for next to nothing. My ROI on WordPress is just massive. If you think for a few minutes, you might see your ingredients for the glue. I would love to know what WordPress gives you back.</p>
<p><em>Take a penny, leave a penny</em><em>.</em></p>
<p>To me, WordPress represents everything that is fundamental to the Open Source movement. It represents a virtuous circle. Every WordPress personality keeps harping about how every user should think about giving back to the community because it will pay them back. Here is how I think of it. If all effort and resources were like a little penny holder in a store and we believe that all people, in their heart of hearts are good people (which I do), then every penny that you leave in that penny jar will make the jar look more full. An overflowing penny jar gives the person who needs a penny the confidence that if they take a penny, the jar will not become empty. It also gives the person who has a few extra pennies the desire to do what other good people have done in the past. WordPress enables us to feel good about ourselves.</p>
<p><em>We are all wellwishers.</em></p>
<p>I think we as human beings tend to forget that <em>most</em> people have good intentions. I also know that knowing that is not enough. It is very difficult to see the other person’s point of view. This is especially true if you feel very strongly about your opinion. That brings me to my next point.</p>
<p><em>We eat our own dog food.</em></p>
<p>Even core WordPress commiters have disagreements. However, I believe that we as a community have matured enough that we know when to give in. We have given WordPress the ability to be molded and shaped in the way it needs to be in order to make ourselves happy. <em>Most</em> features in WordPress can be removed, changed or enhanced to suit individual needs and abilities. There are plugins developed by core WordPress folks that get around certain features which they did not like but did not have the reasoning to enforce a global change on. Even in its failures, WordPress shines through.</p>
<p>That brings me to my final thought and the title of this post.</p>
<p><em>Be kind, educate.</em></p>
<p>I adore Lorelle. To me, she is the embodiment of our community in everything she does and in every action she performs. She is supportive and critical at the same time. She embraces and challenges in the same breath. She sticks her tongue out and throws her arms wide open all in one swoop. I believe what makes her approach so nice is that she is kind to the people that can enact change and she loves to teach other people to do the things she does so well. She is a WordPress enabler.</p>
<p>I wanna be like her. So I pledge to be as kind as I can be and I promise to educate everyone that cares to listen. While I am at it, I hope to learn a thing or two along the way. Will you help me do that?</p>

I am always stunned by the lengths so many people take to travel so far for WordPress. Their passion and dedication is to be applauded as every one brings their unique perspective to a WordPress event and the WordPress Community.</p>
<p>And they bring their sense of humor and fun, too. </p>
<p>I’ll have more information soon, and until then, you can catch up with the live blogs and summaries from <a href="http://wordcamp.info/" title="Wordcamp Report">WordCamp Report</a> with Patrick Havens, <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/weblife/?p=143" title="Wordcamp 2008">WordCamp 2008</a> by Andrew Mager, and <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/16/the-state-of-wordpress-2008-awesome-growth/" title="TechCrunch coverage of WordCamp 2008">TechCrunch</a>.</p>
<p>The event began with a private dinner for <a href="http://wordcamp.info/2008/08/06/the-speakers-for-wordcamp-2008/" title="This year’s WordCamp speaker lineup">WordCamp speakers</a> and <a href="http://www.automattic.com/" title="Automattic - parent company of WordPress, WordPress.com, Akismet, BuddyPress, and more" rel="tag">Automattic</a> on Friday night, a chance for everyone to meet before they are distracted by the following day’s events, to compare notes, and have some fun before the hard work begins. For me, it was also a time to catch up with all of the wonderful people that make the blogosphere a great place to work.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/geniuses-for-wordcamp-sf-bar/" title="WordPress Genius Bar">WordPress Genius Bar</a> greeted arrivals early the next morning and was going strong answering questions and helping WordPress fans solve their many problems. Some requested very simple how to tips, and others more sophisticated like problem-solving their WordPress Plugins and Themes to hacking code. After each speaking event, the speaker went to the Genius Bar to answer questions and talk to fans, so it was a great social center to the event.</p>
<p>This year’s WordCamp 2008 had a two-track schedule, one for typical users and the other for developers. The entire event was video taped by <a href="http://onemansblog.com/" title="John Pozadzides" rel="tag">John Pozadzides of One Man’s Blog</a> and will be released soon, which gives attendees a chance to see what they missed at the other sessions.<br />
<span id="more-2886"></span><br />
I stayed upstairs in the main conference room with the programs for WordPress fans and supporters. The topics covered were diverse. SEO, educational use of WordPress, how to get involved with WordPress, viral marketing, open source challenges and models, microformats…all leading up to three speaking events eagerly anticipated. Matt’s State of the Word, the testing of the new WordPress interface named “Crazyhorse”, and usability issues and marketing with Kathy Sierra. Downstairs, a lot of code and “behind the scenes” presentations were given. I’m eager to catch up with those on video.</p>
<p>Attendees broke up into small groups for dinner, and then regrouped at a nearby bar for a couple hours of socializing. </p>
<p>The next day, 11 teams of four each met for the <a href="http://wpscavengerhunt.eventbrite.com/" title="the WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt">WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt</a> determined to win this fun event to raise money for <a href="http://www.826valencia.org/" title="826 Valencia">826 Valencia</a>, an organization which offers free educational programs to encourage students to improve their writing skills. We raced all over San Francisco for two hours trying to solve the clues and take pictures of ourselves in front of the “found” treasures and upload them to Flickr. We had a great time getting to know our new friends and team members and problem-solving the clues - and exploring San Francisco. </p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mager/2772653510/in/set-72157606810015623/"><img alt="Lorelle and a friend do cartwheels in Golden Gate Park for the WordPress Scavenger Hunt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2772653510_35059e21b3.jpg?v=0" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lorelle and a friend do cartwheels in Golden Gate Park for the WordPress Scavenger Hunt</p></div>The winners were a team of four guys who didn’t have a car to race all over town, so they looked through the list of what gave the highest points and decided to take on the task of registering as many people as possible with a WordPress blogs. They signed up more than 10 people, winning 80 points each, and won the day! That is ingenuity. </p>
<p>You can see our own scavenger hunt results in <a href="http://flickr.com/mager" title="Andrew Mager's Flickr">Andrew Mager’s Flickr</a> specifically the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mager/sets/72157606810015623/" title="WordPress Scavenger Hunt (Set)">WordPress Scavenger Hunt Set</a>. Yes, that is me rolling down the hill, kicking it up with the Madame of Haight Street, and doing a cart wheel. The things I do for WordPress.</p>
<p>Overall, it was a powerful conference with a lot to learn, but not as much social as many would have liked. The facility was perfect with room for everyone and easy access to everything. </p>
<p>Stay tuned for more specific news and information soon. Heading off to another airplane!</p>

I am always stunned by the lengths so many people take to travel so far for WordPress. Their passion and dedication is to be applauded as every one brings their unique perspective to a WordPress event and the WordPress Community.</p>
<p>And they bring their sense of humor and fun, too. </p>
<p>I’ll have more information soon, and until then, you can catch up with the live blogs and summaries from <a href="http://wordcamp.info/" title="Wordcamp Report">WordCamp Report</a> with Patrick Havens, <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/weblife/?p=143" title="Wordcamp 2008">WordCamp 2008</a> by Andrew Mager, and <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/16/the-state-of-wordpress-2008-awesome-growth/" title="TechCrunch coverage of WordCamp 2008">TechCrunch</a>.</p>
<p>The event began with a private dinner for <a href="http://wordcamp.info/2008/08/06/the-speakers-for-wordcamp-2008/" title="This year’s WordCamp speaker lineup">WordCamp speakers</a> and <a href="http://www.automattic.com/" title="Automattic - parent company of WordPress, WordPress.com, Akismet, BuddyPress, and more" rel="tag">Automattic</a> on Friday night, a chance for everyone to meet before they are distracted by the following day’s events, to compare notes, and have some fun before the hard work begins. For me, it was also a time to catch up with all of the wonderful people that make the blogosphere a great place to work.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://foolswisdom.com/geniuses-for-wordcamp-sf-bar/" title="WordPress Genius Bar">WordPress Genius Bar</a> greeted arrivals early the next morning and was going strong answering questions and helping WordPress fans solve their many problems. Some requested very simple how to tips, and others more sophisticated like problem-solving their WordPress Plugins and Themes to hacking code. After each speaking event, the speaker went to the Genius Bar to answer questions and talk to fans, so it was a great social center to the event.</p>
<p>This year’s WordCamp 2008 had a two-track schedule, one for typical users and the other for developers. The entire event was video taped by <a href="http://onemansblog.com/" title="John Pozadzides" rel="tag">John Pozadzides of One Man’s Blog</a> and will be released soon, which gives attendees a chance to see what they missed at the other sessions.<br />
<span id="more-2886"></span><br />
I stayed upstairs in the main conference room with the programs for WordPress fans and supporters. The topics covered were diverse. SEO, educational use of WordPress, how to get involved with WordPress, viral marketing, open source challenges and models, microformats…all leading up to three speaking events eagerly anticipated. Matt’s State of the Word, the testing of the new WordPress interface named “Crazyhorse”, and usability issues and marketing with Kathy Sierra. Downstairs, a lot of code and “behind the scenes” presentations were given. I’m eager to catch up with those on video.</p>
<p>Attendees broke up into small groups for dinner, and then regrouped at a nearby bar for a couple hours of socializing. </p>
<p>The next day, 11 teams of four each met for the <a href="http://wpscavengerhunt.eventbrite.com/" title="the WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt">WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt</a> determined to win this fun event to raise money for <a href="http://www.826valencia.org/" title="826 Valencia">826 Valencia</a>, an organization which offers free educational programs to encourage students to improve their writing skills. We raced all over San Francisco for two hours trying to solve the clues and take pictures of ourselves in front of the “found” treasures and upload them to Flickr. We had a great time getting to know our new friends and team members and problem-solving the clues - and exploring San Francisco. </p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mager/2772653510/in/set-72157606810015623/"><img alt="Lorelle and a friend do cartwheels in Golden Gate Park for the WordPress Scavenger Hunt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2772653510_35059e21b3.jpg?v=0" width="500" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lorelle and a friend do cartwheels in Golden Gate Park for the WordPress Scavenger Hunt</p></div>The winners were a team of four guys who didn’t have a car to race all over town, so they looked through the list of what gave the highest points and decided to take on the task of registering as many people as possible with a WordPress blogs. They signed up more than 10 people, winning 80 points each, and won the day! That is ingenuity. </p>
<p>You can see our own scavenger hunt results in <a href="http://flickr.com/mager" title="Andrew Mager's Flickr">Andrew Mager’s Flickr</a> specifically the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mager/sets/72157606810015623/" title="WordPress Scavenger Hunt (Set)">WordPress Scavenger Hunt Set</a>. Yes, that is me rolling down the hill, kicking it up with the Madame of Haight Street, and doing a cart wheel. The things I do for WordPress.</p>
<p>Overall, it was a powerful conference with a lot to learn, but not as much social as many would have liked. The facility was perfect with room for everyone and easy access to everything. </p>
<p>Stay tuned for more specific news and information soon. Heading off to another airplane!</p>
