CMS-like Admin Menu Plugin – Version 2.1 Released.
Another plugin update…this time for my plugin for rearranging the admin menu to bring the Pages menu to the top. With version 2.0, on WP 2.8, you got a doubled Category link, and it didn’t support custom taxonomies. As of version 2.1, it now does. It was an easy fix, I just needed the time [...]
CTC – Version 5.2 Released
This is a quickie update to address a couple of issues. First off, you should once again be able to use the admin plugin update feature to get new versions, as I have now moved the plugin files out of the folder I had them in. Secondly, as of version 5.2, all PHP short tags [...]

Internet Explorer 6…Time to call it a day?

It’s CSS support is horribly broken (google “CSS IE hacks” and enjoy browsing through 4.7 million hits), with the CSS box model being the biggest culprit. It was released in 2001, when most of the technologies we use today were in their infancy, [...]
Question for the WP theme devs in the audience
I mentioned this on twitter, but I wanted to get it out here too…if you use TextMate to do your theme development, would you use a bundle that contains a variety of functions for your functions.php file?
