Potpourri can be defined as “any mixture, esp. of unrelated objects, subjects, etc.” Well, todays version of WordPress Wednesday will touch on a few topics in the world of WordPress. By just touching on the topics this week, I reserve the right to get into greater detail on each one in future posts.
I have to start out with the announcement that Release Candidate 1 has now been released for WordPress 2.3. The developers have been busy fixing bugs since the last beta release. You can help them get ready for the final release by downloading and installing this release candidate. Don’t forget to report any bugs you find.
Yesterdays post could have been a WordPress Wednesday entry in that it was all about a plugin that I just installed. It’s the “Buy me a beer” plugin, but I’ve decided to ask for Latte money instead. The plugin ads a link to the bottom of every post and/or to the sidebar via widget. It works by directing you to your paypal account to send latte money into my paypal account, only $3.50.
You can support WordPress by buying a t-shirt from them. They carry both mens and womens t-shirts and only recently have allowed people from outside the United States to buy them. They currently only seem to offer them in this lovely red, but given the popularity of the item, I’d be willing to bet that more colors will be following.
I know nobody likes to read documentation, I’d rather chew off my left arm that read some documentation. WordPress has a decent layout to their WordPress Documentation that makes it easy to find the information that you want. It’s woth a gander if you’ve got a few extra minutes.
That brings us to the end of this weeks WordPress Potpourri. It may not have smelled as nice as some varieties of potpourri, but I hope it at least didn’t stink.
