They&#8217;ll be on sale at this price until the anniversary on May 27, and they&#8217;ll start shipping out the week of April 29.</p>
<p>Some people who are planning parties or who organize meetups are already talking about doing group orders to save on shipping costs, which is a great idea &#8212; just make sure you allow enough shipping time. If you&#8217;re not sure if the tees could make it to you in time on your side of the world, use the contact options at the bottom of the store page to ask about shipping times. If they can&#8217;t reach you in time and you want to have a local printer do some for your group, we&#8217;ll post the vector file on the wp10 site within the next week (and this post will get updated accordingly). </p>
<p>The shirts are available in black or silvery gray. Why silvery gray? Because of trivia: the traditional gift for 10th anniversaries is tin or aluminum. <img src="http://wordpress.org/news/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>

<p>Please say hello to WordPress.tv moderator Ben Lobaugh, from the beautiful shores of Puget Sound.</p>
<p><span id="more-297"></span></p>
<h3>Ben Lobaugh<br />
Seattle, Washington</h3>
<h4>How did you get involved with WordPress?</h4>
<p>I started using WordPress in the early days because it seemed I was never able to get around to completing the CMS I was writing. WordPress gave me the power and flexibility I needed, and as it grew and matured, I fell more and more in love with it. With version 2.8, I almost exclusively put clients on WordPress, and as of 3.0 I&#8217;ve abandoned all other CMS platforms in favor of the powerhouse WordPress has become.</p>
<h4>Why did you decide to become a WordPress.tv moderator?</h4>
<p>Well, first off the videos of me were not being published as quickly as I wanted! <img src="http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" />  The videos on WordPress.tv have been useful to me, and the community has given me so much. Moderating videos on WordPress.tv is a simple and enjoyable way of giving back to this community.</p>
<h4>Got any essential tips for people interested in creating high-quality content for WordPress.tv?</h4>
<p>I highly recommend ensuring the camera will interface into your existing hardware before shooting anything; I ran into a hardware incompatibility issue when trying to pull WordCamp Seattle video from the camera. Another very important tip is to get an external (probably shotgun) microphone to ensure the speaker&#8217;s voice is crisp and clear.</p>
<h4>There are some great videos on WordPress.tv! What are your favorites?</h4>
<p>I get giddy if I see <a href="http://wordpress.tv/?s=Morten+Rand-Hendriksen" target="_blank">Morten Rand-Hendriksen</a>, <a href="http://wordpress.tv/?s=tony+perez" target="_blank">Tony Perez</a>, or <a href="http://wordpress.tv/?s=Zack+Tollman" target="_blank">Zack Tollman</a> on a <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/" target="_blank">WordCamp</a> speaker list! These guys are incredibly fun and engaging speakers that can make any technical subject easy to understand. I highly recommend watching their videos. Even if you don&#8217;t know anything about the subject, you&#8217;ll enjoy watching their antics.</p>
<p><em>Thanks for chatting with us, Ben! </em></p>

From Wakemate to the Nike Fuelband I&#8217;ve tried pretty much every device that&#8217;s come on the market to help you become more self-aware of your activities, and hopefully improve them as well.</p>
<p>Lately I&#8217;ve settled on two that I think are really high quality: the <a href="https://jawbone.com/up">Jawbone UP</a> and the <a href="http://www.mybasis.com/">Basis watch</a>. I would recommend either above the Nike Fuelband or Fitbit, but let me share some brief thoughts about my experiences with each:</p>
<p>The UP is beautiful &#8212; it&#8217;s easy to wear with pretty much any outfit, even with formal wear I find I can move it up my arm a little bit inside my sleeve above my shirt cuff thanks to the flexible nature of the band. The social app they have for it is cool, though it can be a little weird to see your teammate&#8217;s minute-by-minute sleeping habits (&#8220;Hey! I noticed you were up between 3:32 and 3:50 AM last night. How &#8217;bout them Giants?&#8221;).</p>
<div id="attachment_42350" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/s.ma.tt/files/2013/04/IMG_6138.png"><img class=" wp-image-42350  " alt="I'm very proud of my sleep." src="http://i1.wp.com/s.ma.tt/files/2013/04/IMG_6138.png?resize=150%2C266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#8217;m very proud of my sleep.</p></div>
<p>The battery life is over a week so you never have to think about it, but you do have to carry around a proprietary connector for it which I keep losing leaving me (like right now) with an uncharged and useless device. To sync you plug the band into your phone&#8217;s headphone port and the sync takes a few seconds, it&#8217;s a fun process I do usually first thing in the morning to see how I slept the night before and it&#8217;s also fun to demo to friends. The first one I had was in their &#8220;mint green&#8221; color and I ended up wearing it out &#8212; it started to look dirty and I broke it where the headphone jack comes out making it difficult to charge and sync. That said, I was pretty rough on it. My new one is blue and I like it much better. My only big complaint about how the whole thing works is it doesn&#8217;t detect when you go to sleep, you have to press and hold the button on the end to put it from wake to sleep mode, which I would frequently forget to do. I really like the idea of the smart alarm and power nap features even though I never used them.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-42348" alt="Basis B1 Band" src="http://i1.wp.com/s.ma.tt/files/2013/04/b1-basis-band.jpg?resize=195%2C139" />The Basis is a bit clunky and retro looking, but functionality-wise it provides <a href="http://www.mybasis.com/basis-healthy-habits-technology/">some really cool data</a>: it tracks your heart rate, skin temperature, perspiration level, steps, and sleep. It detects automatically when you&#8217;re asleep, no buttons to push. The data is presented in a really cool web app that lets you compare some of the data points and that I learned cool things from, like my heart rate jumps about 20 beats per minute when I wake up, and I&#8217;m most warm about two thirds into my sleep cycle. There don&#8217;t appear any social features that I&#8217;ve seen in the software, though its habit formation tracking seems pretty slick. The way the &#8220;buttons&#8221; work on the device is pretty cool, the silver dots in the corners are touch-sensitive. There&#8217;s a button on the side that I haven&#8217;t figured out what it does yet. Syncing and charging is much worse than the UP &#8212; it&#8217;s got an even clunkier proprietary USB thing that both syncs to your computer and charges, but because the display can show you how you&#8217;re doing as you go throughout the day I don&#8217;t feel the need to synchronize it as often. The heart rate tracking is by far my favorite feature. It&#8217;s comfortable to wear, but doesn&#8217;t disappear like the UP. Finally, as an added bonus, it tells the time. (Surprising useful.) If it somehow merged with <a href="http://getpebble.com/">the Pebble</a> I&#8217;d be in geek heaven.</p>
<p>If I had to pick between the two I&#8217;d just use the Basis. The awkwardness of the device is outweighed by the richness of the data it provides. For right now I&#8217;m not choosing: I wear one on each wrist and compare the data. (It&#8217;s always within a few % of each other for things they both do.) If I were hiking in the woods for a week I&#8217;d probably just take the UP as its battery would last the entire time. It&#8217;s really illustrated for me what a silo each of these systems are, they don&#8217;t talk to each other at all and it appears unlikely they ever will.</p>
<p>Long-term I think we really need an open source package you can run on your own servers that can ingest the data from all of these services, say from back when I used to use a <a href="http://wakemate.com/">Wakemate</a> sleep tracking to today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.fitbit.com/aria">Fitbit Aria</a> scale, the meals I track in the UP app with my Basis heart rate data and <a href="http://runkeeper.com/">Runkeeper</a> and <a href="http://www.hundredpushups.com/">Hundred Pushup</a> logs, and provide you with a single data store for all the personal analytics you generate across various services. I think there&#8217;s going to be a lot of competition in this space in the next few years.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:05:28 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>Today, we&#8217;ve jubilantly released version 2.3 of <a href="http://android.wordpress.org/">WordPress for Android</a> to <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wordpress.android&hl=en">Google Play</a>. After updating, you&#8217;ll see right away that this release includes very exciting updates to the user interface. Let&#8217;s dive in to what&#8217;s new!</p>
<h3>Action Bar</h3>
<p><a href="http://wpandroid.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/wordpress-for-android-version-2-3-action-bar-on-nexus-7.jpg"><img src="http://wpandroid.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/wordpress-for-android-version-2-3-action-bar-on-nexus-7.jpg?w=620&h=295" alt="Version 2.3 of WordPress for Android: action bar on a Nexus 7" width="620" height="295" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-819" /></a><br />
You&#8217;ll notice a fresh, new look. We&#8217;ve taken into account Android&#8217;s &#8220;Holo&#8221; style guidelines and implemented the Action Bar interface throughout the app. If you&#8217;ve used any other apps designed for Android 4.0 or higher, you&#8217;ll feel right at home with the new user interface. Your Action Bar provides easy access to common actions such as creating a new post, refreshing, and sharing to other apps.</p>
<p>We also couldn&#8217;t resist making the Action Bar in WordPress blue. <img src="http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<h3>Menu Drawer</h3>
<p><a href="http://wpandroid.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/wordpress-for-android-version-2-3-menu-drawer-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-update.jpg"><img src="http://wpandroid.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/wordpress-for-android-version-2-3-menu-drawer-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-update.jpg?w=242&h=491" alt="Version 2.3 of WordPress for Android: menu drawer on Samsung Galaxy S3" width="242" height="491" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-822" /></a></p>
<p>The older-style <a href="http://android.wordpress.org/2011/12/19/version-2-0-android-blogging-re-imagined/">dashboard</a> user interface has been replaced with a Menu Drawer for quick and easy navigation to other areas of the app from wherever you are. You&#8217;ll find all of the same actions the dashboard had, but with the addition of some nifty new ones.</p>
<p>To access the menu, simply tap the arrow next to the WordPress logo &#8211; in the top-left corner of the app &#8212; or swipe from the left side of the screen. If you&#8217;re on a large tablet device, the menu will always be visible, which takes advantage of the extra screen space. If you have multiple blogs in the app, you&#8217;ll see a drop-down list at the top of your Menu Drawer that you can access to quickly switch to another blog to work with, right in the app.</p>
<p>When you leave the app, it will remember the last selection you made in the Menu Drawer so when you return, you can pick up where you left off.</p>
<h3>Other new features</h3>
<p>In addition to the revamped user interface, you&#8217;ll find these new features as well:</p>
<ul>
<li><span><strong>View Site option</strong>. A <em>View Site</em> option has been added to the Menu Drawer so you can view your blogs from within the app.</span></li>
<li><strong>Admin area access.</strong> You can access the wp-admin areas of your WordPress.com blogs by loading the <em>Dashboard</em> option in the Menu Drawer.</li>
<li><strong>Faster loading.</strong> The WordPress.com Reader now takes advantage of caching for faster loading.</li>
<li><strong>Updated look and feel.</strong> Settings have been converted to use the Android standard for preferences, giving them the Holo look and feel on supported devices. Many views have been updated to the Holo look and feel as well, including the post editor and all list views.</li>
<li><strong>Improved post editor experience.</strong> The post editor now has an expandable content area, which makes it much easier to navigate around the post content when you&#8217;re editing.</li>
<li><strong>Improved image uploading.</strong> If a post has an image but fails to upload the image, the post will be saved as a draft first &#8212; instead of published &#8212; so the image upload can be corrected.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Thanks &#8212; and what&#8217;s next</h3>
<p>We thank the developers who worked so hard on this release &#8211; <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/profile/mrroundhill">mrroundhill</a>, <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/profile/willnorris">willnorris</a>, <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/profile/isaackeyet">isaackeyet</a>, <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/profile/daniloercoli">daniloercoli</a> and <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/profile/aerych">aerych</a> &#8211; as well as the beta testers who tried out the app over at the <a href="http://dev.android.wordpress.org">Developer Blog</a>. Great work, all!</p>
<p>We also thank <a href="http://jakewharton.com/">Jake Wharton</a> and <a href="http://simonvt.net/">Simon Vig Therkildsen</a> for creating the ActionBarSherlock and android-menudrawer libraries that enabled us to use the Action Bar and Menu Drawer on older Android devices. Good stuff!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s next? We&#8217;re looking at adding notifications to the app so you can keep up with what&#8217;s happening on your WordPress sites while mobile and on the go.</p>
<p>What would you like to see added to the app?</p>

<p>I woke up to a bit of a scare when some of my alexking.org Gmail accounts were unable to log in to Gmail. I was afraid the accounts had been compromised and the passwords changed. I had secure passwords, but had been lazy about turning on 2-factor authentication for several of them &#8211; that&#8217;s all fixed now.</p>
<p>As it turned out, the hiccup ended up being due to a Gmail disruption.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also turned on 2-factor authentication for this site using <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-authenticator/">this plugin</a> (make sure to enable the app key if you use iOS or Android apps to connect to your site). Note that the Social logins for commenting still work without 2-factor authentication.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d recommend taking similar steps for your sites. Waking up to an &#8220;uh-oh&#8221; feeling is no fun at all.</p>

		<p>I have a problem! Tested the latest official 2.3 version (and rc1) and cannot post topics or replies and always get &#8220;ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?&#8221;. Creating forums is OK.</p>
<p>This happened on a fresh localhost installation (MAMP) of WP 3.5.1 and bbp 2.3 using TwentyTwelve theme without any other plugins or themes installed. Attached a screenshot &#8230;</p>

<p>The search function is great BTW, well done! Just hope to find a fix for the mentioned problem as it makes 2.3 useless.</p>

<p>Two questions for a noob, though: how to enable the search? Also, where is the statistics shortcode? I can&#8217;t find it here. <a href="http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/" rel="nofollow">http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/</a></p>

		<p>Thanks so much! Seems to have updated without a hitch (well, see below). Tested the forum search right away and it appears to be working fine, although I&#8217;m still aching for those search results to be presented as excerpts.</p>
<p>I did also find that I had to resave permalinks in order to see posts again, or else I would end up with a &#8220;topic not found&#8221;. That gave me quite the scare!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.</p>

		<p>Thank you for this update.</p>
<p>The search function is welcome.</p>
<p>From what I understand, the ability to set individual access rights to individual forums (<a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lockassign-specific-forums-to-specific-members-only/" rel="nofollow">discussed here</a>) has not been added with 2.3. Any idea if this will actually come in a future release ? I understood it was not an easy feature, but since this is something I&#8217;m waiting to expand the use of forums on my site, I&#8217;d like to know if bbPress will include it in a not-too-far future.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The search bar only appears on the page with the /forums/ slug and it doesn&#8217;t return any results for strings known to have hundreds of results. Here are my search results for the string &#8220;openears&#8221; on my forum about the framework OpenEars:</p>

		<p>One, I would like to be able to turn off the search. Just hide it without having to muck around with making a theme for bbPress.</p>

		<p>After the update I couldn&#8217;t view topic content on my site but could see it when logged into the admin part for editing. Also, I had to make each topic &#8216;sticky&#8217; to see it on the forum.  I removed the plugin &#8216;bbPress moderation&#8217; and it was OK after that. This means that I can&#8217;t use the moderation plugin so anyone can post a reply. I want to be able to moderate each reply. Is there a solution?</p>

		<p>Great, thanks for the new release.  Always exciting to see new bbpress updates <img src="http://bbpress.org/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> !  Couple of comments from me.</p>
<p><strong>Search</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve traditionally used Google search to search across my whole site, is there an easy way to switch the new form off?  It appears to be forced upon the main forum list page.</p>
<p>It is also not looking great on my sites main forum page, what&#8217;s the easiest way to style this, what can I add to my CSS file to change the look? <a href="http://www.nxtab.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow">See here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Stats</strong><br />
For those looking, the Stats shortcode is <strong>[bbp-stats]</strong>, there is also a widget. <a href="http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2052" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2052</a></p>
<p>Is it possible to style the output?<br />
Can I control which stats are shown?  For example &#8220;empty tags&#8221; isn&#8217;t something I really want to boast about on my forum!</p>

		<p>For people wanting to hide the new search box, add this to your theme&#8217;s CSS:
<pre><code>.bbp-search-form {

<p>For the admin area, after further investigation, the only reason I saw the Forums, Topics and Replies menus at all was because of my Post Calendar plugin. Once I disabled that, the Admin menus for bbPress disappeared entirely.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m with <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/wildomains/" rel="nofollow">@wildomains</a>, I had to disable &#8216;bbPress moderation&#8217; to get to see the posts.

		<p>Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the backend. I upgrade across several installs and this happened to all of them, even on the clean install with no other plugins activated. </p>
<p>Anyone else having this issue? and how to resolve? </p>

Right now there&#8217;s a botnet going around all of the WordPresses it can find trying to login with the &#8220;admin&#8221; username and a bunch of common passwords, and it has turned into a news story (especially from companies that sell &#8220;solutions&#8221; to the problem).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I would recommend: If you still use &#8220;admin&#8221; as a username on your blog, <a href="http://www.digitalkonline.com/blog/change-your-wordpress-admin-username/">change it</a>, use a <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/">strong password</a>, if you&#8217;re on WP.com <a href="http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/two-step-authentication/">turn on two-factor authentication</a>, and of course make sure you&#8217;re up-to-date on the latest version of WordPress. Do this and you&#8217;ll be ahead of 99% of sites out there and probably never have a problem. Most other advice isn&#8217;t great &#8212; supposedly this botnet has over 90,000 IP addresses, so an IP limiting or login throttling plugin isn&#8217;t going to be great (they could try from a different IP a second for 24 hours).</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:55:11 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:4:"Matt";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:24;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>In the early days of BuddyPress, things were in flux. Andy and I were furiously building components and features, deprecating code, refactoring the way things worked, and generally tearing up the codebase over and over again. It helped us build a great foundation, but it made updating to the next version a scary and frustrating experience. To those that remember those days, I apologize; to everyone else, I&#8217;m sorry you missed out on the fun. <img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<p>Whenever your WordPress installation checks to see if BuddyPress needs an update, the WordPress.org Extend API remembers the current version of BuddyPress that you&#8217;re running. This is how we know (with relative accuracy) approximately how many of what versions are out in the wild, and it&#8217;s also how we generated the pinwheel below, taken from the Stats page from WordPress.org Extend:</p>
<div id="attachment_161350" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class=" wp-image-161350   " alt="Active BuddyPress Versions" src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-11-at-3.18.43-PM.png" width="576" height="283" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Every color of the rainbow is clearly represented</p></div>
<p>Despite the pretty colors, this pie chart is actually a little scary. There are so many old and outdated installations of BuddyPress out there, not taking advantage of the neat new features, and not running the most stable and secure code available. The irony is, this is largely our fault.</p>
<p>These days, BuddyPress is a 1 click update in your WordPress dashboard, and we&#8217;ve built a bunch of API&#8217;s that allow third party plugin developers to write plugins that won&#8217;t break when BuddyPress needs an update. We&#8217;ve spent a large part of the past 2 years reinforcing the foundation we invested in, so that no one needs to be afraid to update BuddyPress ever again.</p>
<p>Starting with BuddyPress 1.8, the core team will be focusing our efforts on including automated tests with each enhancement and critical bug fix, to help ensure that each future release gets more stable than the release before it. Boone Gorges and Paul Gibbs both donated huge amounts of labor building a test suite that is already committed into our development branch, just days after BuddyPress 1.7 was packaged up. Their dedication towards making BuddyPress stable and amazing for everyone is unwavering, and their contributions are truly awesome.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re running an old version of BuddyPress, I urge you to check out and update to BuddyPress 1.7. It&#8217;s the culmination of thousands of hours of effort, and is the most stable, secure, and performant version of BuddyPress yet. Help us change that pinwheel into more of a Pac-Man or a circle.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:02:25 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:17:"John James Jacoby";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>I&#8217;m continuing to conduct a <em>lot</em> of research for this talk. There&#8217;s a lot WordPress has learned over the years, so I&#8217;ve been searching through the codebase and old commit messages, as well as compiling a ton of data and statistics. If you have anything you think might help, please <a href="http://gravatar.com/nacin">contact me</a>. Here&#8217;s the full talk description:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>WordPress is Everywhere: Extreme Portability as a Double-Edged Sword</strong></p>
<p>WordPress has tens of millions of users worldwide and powers over a fifth of new sites. But such a large and diverse user base presents unique challenges, and as it approaches its tenth birthday, the WordPress codebase is showing its age. So why is it so ubiquitous?</p>
<p>The answer lies not in its UI, UX, ecosystem, or community, though those are certainly among its strengths. The answer lies instead in a core philosophy that holds the user above all else.</p>
<p>This user-centric design starts not with the interface, but rather with the code itself. Developers should approach software development with an unwavering promise they will deal with the nonsense instead of passing it off to the user.</p>
<p>Some WordPress positions might seem draconian and inflexible. Backwards compatibility is almost never broken. The technical requirements appeal to lowest common denominators. But because the project maintainers deal with all the pain — technical debt, difficulties with PHP, working on as many server configurations (and misconfigurations) as possible — its users don’t have to. Thanks to the WordPress project’s portability efforts, you can pick a web host or a PHP configuration at random and WordPress will run on it. Because of this, adoption has soared.</p>
<p>The way WordPress operates is not for everyone. But whether your projects are used by 10 users, or 10 million, it may help you to see your code in an entirely new light.</p></blockquote>
<p>Tickets are <a href="http://tek.phparch.com/">still available</a>. Hope to see you there!</p>

<p>May 27, 2013 is the <strong>10th anniversary</strong> of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/2003/05/wordpress-now-available/">first WordPress release</a>!</p>
<p>We think this is worth celebrating, and we want WordPress fans all over the world to celebrate with us by throwing their own parties. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/WordPress/">We&#8217;re using Meetup Everywhere</a> to coordinate, and will be putting up a website just for the 10th Anniversary so that we can collect photos, videos, tweets, and posts from all the parties.</p>
<p>The rules are very simple:</p>
<ol>
<li><span>Pick a place to go where a bunch of people can be merry &#8212; a park, a bar, a backyard, whatever</span></li>
<li>Spread the word to local meetups, tech groups, press, etc and get people to say they&#8217;ll come to your party</li>
<li>If 50 or more people RSVP to your party, we&#8217;ll try to send you some WordPress stickers and buttons</li>
<li>Have party attendees post photos, videos, and the like with the #wp10 hashtag</li>
</ol>
<p>We&#8217;ll be using Meetup Everywhere to coordinate parties all over the world, so get your city on the map and <a href="http://www.meetup.com/WordPress/">register your party now</a> !</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll follow up with registered organizers  over the next few weeks with some tips for how to publicize your party and to get addresses for swag packages. To that end, make sure you check the option that lets WordPress 10th Anniversary know your email, or we won&#8217;t be able to get in touch with you for these things or to give you access to the WP10 blog.</p>

Version 2.1 of WordPress for Windows Phone is out and adds some exciting new features.</p>
<p>We’re happy to announce that you can now get comment push notifications on your Windows Phone (OS 7.5+) which enables you to moderate comments from wherever you happen to be at the time. With 2.1 you also get a rich text editor, making it much easier to write longer posts having to deal with any HTML code.</p>
<p>Read on to learn what’s new or update/download version 2.1 from the Windows Phone Store right now by clicking below.</p>
<p class="download"><a href="http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=5f64ad85-f801-e011-9264-00237de2db9e"><strong>Download App</strong>WordPress for Windows Phone</a><span class="download-info">Supported: WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress (v. 2.9+)</span></p>
<h3>Rich Text Editor</h3>
<p>Now you finally have the ability to use a rich text editor when creating or editing a post or page. The new editor has easy to access styling options beneath the keyboard and in the app menu, these include bulleted/numbered lists, bold, underline, and italic text. You&#8217;ll also find a handy link helper among the text editing tools.</p>
<h3>Comment Push Notifications</h3>
<p>If you have a WordPress.com blog (or a self-hosted blog with the <a href="http://jetpack.me/">Jetpack plugin</a>) added to the app, you can now opt in to receive push notifications for new comments. This makes it easier than ever to keep up with your readers and moderate comments while on the go. You&#8217;ll get push notifications for new comments only and viewing a notification takes you right to the comment within the app. From there you can easily respond and moderate like usual.</p>
<h3>Stability Improvements</h3>
<p>In addition to the new features, we’ve worked hard on making the app even more stable. In total, almost <a href="http://windowsphone.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=Push+Notifications+and+Content+Editor" target="_blank">40 bugs and crashes</a> have been fixed in this release.</p>

<h3>What&#8217;s New in 1.7</h3>
<p>BuddyPress 1.7 is a major feature release, containing hundreds of bugfixes and dozens of new features. We&#8217;ll show off a few of our favorites below. Want to see a full changelog for 1.7? Check it out <a href="http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/version-1-7/">on the Codex</a>.</p>
<p><em>Theme Compatibility</em></p>
<p>BuddyPress&#8217;s social features add new kinds of content to your WordPress site: groups, profiles, and so on. Until now, displaying that content has required building or finding a BP-compatible theme &#8211; one of the biggest hurdles to using BuddyPress. Version 1.7 makes this a thing of the past. Using a feature we call &#8220;theme compatibility&#8221;, BuddyPress can display its content within the context of any WordPress theme &#8211; no modifications required. Here are a few screenshots showing BP running on a few popular themes:</p>
<p><div id="attachment_160342" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-twentytwelve.png"><img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-twentytwelve-150x150.png" alt="Twenty Twelve" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-160342" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Twenty Twelve</p></div> <div id="attachment_160343" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-coraline.png"><img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-coraline-150x150.png" alt="Coraline" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-160343" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Coraline</p></div> <div id="attachment_160344" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-superstore.png"><img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/bp-superstore-150x150.png" alt="Woo Superstore" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-160344" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Woo Superstore</p></div></p>
<div> </div>
<p>Not satisfied with the way it looks out of the box? Not a problem. BuddyPress still provides a sophisticated, modular templating system, which you can easily customize in your own theme. Theme developers and designers can learn much more about theme compat on <a href="http://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/">the BuddyPress codex</a>.</p>

<p><em>Group Administration</em></p>
<div id="attachment_160321" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/dashboard.png"><img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/dashboard-300x216.png" alt="Group Administration in BuddyPress 1.7" width="150" class="size-medium wp-image-160321" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Group Administration in BP 1.7</p></div>
<p>If you&#8217;ve run a BuddyPress-powered community site, you know that groups are a powerful way for members to connect. But there&#8217;s been no way for site administrators to manage groups. BP 1.7 introduces a brand new set of Group Administration panels on your WordPress Dashboard. Now BP admins can bulk-delete groups, edit group settings, and manage group membership without ever leaving wp-admin.</p>
<div> </div>
<p><em>A Better Installation Experience</em></p>
<div id="attachment_160328" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/about.png"><img src="http://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2013/04/about-150x150.png" alt="About Screen" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-160328" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">About Screen</p></div>
<p>BuddyPress makes it easy to add social features to your site, and BP 1.7 streamlines the process more than ever. We&#8217;ve removed the installation wizard in favor of a totally automated setup &#8211; just hit Activate, and we&#8217;ll handle the rest. On new installations, only the Activity and Extended Profiles components are activated, helping you to start small and grow your community features bit by bit. And, following in WordPress&#8217;s footsteps, we&#8217;ve added About and Credits screens, helping you to get up to date on the BuddyPress project.</p>
<div> </div>
<h3>Springtime Goodies</h3>
<p>BuddyPress 1.7 is codenamed &#8220;Totonno&#8221;, after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totonno%27s">the legendary Brooklyn pizza joint</a>. Totonno&#8217;s is just a few blocks from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island_Cyclone">the Cyclone</a> and the Coney Island boardwalk, and there&#8217;s no better end to a lovely spring day than to indulge in what may be the world&#8217;s greatest pepperoni pie. With spring finally coming to Brooklyn, we think it&#8217;s appropriate to honor a pizza institution with what we think will be a watershed BuddyPress release.</p>
<div> </div>
<h3>The BuddyPress Community Rocks</h3>
<p>Hundreds of developers, designers, and community volunteers have put thousands of hours into this version of BuddyPress. When you use BP, you&#8217;re standing on their shoulders. The following individuals contributed patches during the 1.7 release cycle: </p>

For the first installment, check out the new <code>shortcode_atts_{$shortcode}</code> filter. The <code>shortcode_atts()</code> function now accepts a third parameter — the name of the shortcode — which enables the running of this filter. All of the core shortcodes now pass this parameter.</p>
<p>This filter passes three things:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>$out</code> — the output array of shortcode attributes</li>
<li><code>$pairs</code> — the array of accepted parameters and their defaults.</li>
<li><code>$atts</code> — the input array of shortcode attributes</li>
</ol>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at what we can do with this. One thing is that you can dynamically set or override shortcode values. You an also define new ones, and transpose them into accepted ones. Let&#8217;s look at the &#8220;gallery&#8221; shortcode for example. What if there was a gallery of images that you would reuse. Instead of picking the images each time, you could have a plugin that gives that set of attachment IDs a shortcut name. Then you could do <code>[gallery foo=my-gallery-name]</code>, which the plugin would convert to a list of IDs. Or, you could enforce a certain number of gallery columns on the fly. Let someone set it theme-wide, without having them go back and change their shortcodes.</p>
<p>What other uses can you think of?</p>
<p>Now, if you&#8217;re a plugin or theme author who provides their own shortcodes, you should immediately start providing this third parameter to your <code>shortcode_atts()</code> calls (since it is an extra parameter, you can do this without a WordPress version check). Maybe it&#8217;ll reduce the number of times people need to fork your code just to add an option to your shortcode!</p>

<p>This is software still in development and <strong>we <em>really</em> don’t recommend that you run it on a production site</strong> — set up a test site just to play with the new version. To test WordPress 3.6, try the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/">WordPress Beta Tester</a> plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can <a href="http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.6-beta1.zip">download the beta here</a> (zip).</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been working for nearly three months and have completed all the features that are slated for this release. This is a bit of a change from the betas of previous release cycles. I felt very strongly that we shouldn&#8217;t release a beta if we were still working on completing the main features. This beta is <strong>actually a beta</strong>, not an alpha that we&#8217;re calling a beta. If you are a WordPress plugin or theme developer, or a WordPress hosting provider, you should absolutely start testing your code against this new version <strong>now</strong>. More bugs will be fixed, and some of the features will get polished, but we&#8217;re not going to shove in some big new feature. We&#8217;re ready for you to test it, so jump in there! The more you test the beta, the more stable our release candidates and our final release will be.</p>
<p>As always, if you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">Alpha/Beta area</a> in the support forums. Or, if you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/">file one on the WordPress Trac</a>. There, you can also find <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5">a list of known bugs</a> and <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=component&milestone=3.6">everything we&#8217;ve fixed</a> so far.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s new in 3.6:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Post Formats: </strong> Post Formats now have their own UI, and theme authors have access to templating functions to access the structured data.</li>
<li><strong>Twenty Thirteen:</strong> We&#8217;re shipping this year&#8217;s default theme in our first release of the year. Twenty Thirteen is an opinionated, color-rich, blog-centric theme that makes full use of the new Post Formats support.</li>
<li><strong>Audio/Video:</strong> You can embed audio and video files into your posts without relying on a plugin or a third party media hosting service.</li>
<li><strong>Autosave: </strong> Posts are now autosaved locally. If your browser crashes, your computer dies, or the server goes offline as you&#8217;re saving, you won&#8217;t lose the your post.</li>
<li><strong>Post Locking: </strong> See when someone is currently editing a post, and kick them out of it if they fall asleep at the keyboard.</li>
<li><strong>Nav Menus: </strong> Nav menus have been simplified with an accordion-based UI, and a separate tab for  bulk-assigning menus to locations.</li>
<li><strong>Revisions:</strong> The all-new revisions UI features avatars, a slider that &#8220;scrubs&#8221; through history, and two-slider range comparisons.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Developers: </strong> You make WordPress awesome(er). One of the things we strive to do with every release is be compatible with existing plugins and themes. But we need your help. <strong>Please test your plugins and themes against 3.6.</strong> If something isn&#8217;t quite right, please let us know. (Chances are, it wasn&#8217;t intentional.) If you&#8217;re a forward-thinking theme developer, you should be looking at implementing the new Post Format support in some of your themes (look to Twenty Thirteen for inspiration).</p>
<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to your feedback. If you break it (i.e. find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it. We&#8217;ve already had more than 150 contributors to version 3.6 — it&#8217;s not too late to join the party!</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:25:29 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Mark Jaquith";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:36;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<p>I was honored to be chosen for an <a title="It's me!" href="http://build.codepoet.com/2013/04/04/dougal-campbell-interview/">interview on CodePoet</a>. Though I haven&#8217;t been able to stay as involved with WordPress as much lately as I&#8217;d like, due to job and family, I guess I&#8217;m of &#8220;historical interest&#8221; because of my involvement as a core developer back in the first couple of years. (I jest &#8212; a little)</p>
<p>We discuss how I came to web development and from there to WordPress, my more recent activity as a speaker at WordCamp Atlanta on the topic of security, the community and why someone should become involved, and the differences between web development as a job versus as a hobby, among other things.</p>
<p>I enjoyed answering the questions, and I hope you all will enjoy reading the interview!</p>

It&#8217;s true.</p>
<p>Back in 2007 we (<a href="http://automattic.com">Automattic</a>) acquired Gravatar. Heading into 2008 we <a href="http://blog.gravatar.com/2008/03/14/big-changes-afoot/">rewrote it in PHP</a>, and ever since then, it&#8217;s been using the same integrated user system as WordPress.com for accounts. Previously we handled that &#8220;behind the scenes,&#8221; but we found that it made things pretty confusing for everyone. We&#8217;ve now switched over to using <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/wpcc-faq/">WordPress.com Connect</a> exclusively, which allows you to explicitly connect Gravatar and WordPress.com, and to use your WordPress.com credentials to log into Gravatar. That&#8217;s one less set of login credentials to worry about!</p>
<div id="attachment_438" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-438" alt="wpcc-button" src="http://gravatar.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/wpcc-button.png?w=258&h=65" width="258" height="65" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This is not a real button <img src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></p></div>
<ol>
<li><span>If you had a Gravatar account before, it&#8217;s actually always been a WordPress.com account!</span></li>
<li>When you try to log in at Gravatar.com now, you will be asked to do so using WordPress.com Connect.</li>
<li>Once you&#8217;re logged into WordPress.com, you then grant Gravatar access to use your WordPress.com account.</li>
<li>After that, you&#8217;ll use your WordPress.com username and password to log in to Gravatar, for evermore.</li>
</ol>
<p>You might be wondering about existing accounts and creating new accounts, and what your options are:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>If you have a Gravatar account, it&#8217;s actually also a WordPress.com account. You can use those details to log into WordPress.com, then grant access to Gravatar.</span></li>
<li>If you already have a WordPress.com account, then you can use that to log into Gravatar.com now.</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t have a WordPress.com (or Gravatar) account, you can create one for free (no need for a blog, although you can do that also if you like!) and then you can grant access to Gravatar to get started.</li>
</ul>
<p>The beauty of switching to WordPress.com Connect is that it means your account information is all managed in one, super-secure place (WordPress.com), and it avoids all sorts of complexity and potential for problems with password resets, account activations, and more. We&#8217;re in the process of switching all of our services to using WordPress.com Connect, so you can use the same account to log into our other nifty products, including <a href="http://vaultpress.com">VaultPress</a>, <a href="http://akismet.com">Akismet</a> and <a href="http://polldaddy.com">Polldaddy</a>.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a bunch more info on the <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/wpcc-faq/">WordPress.com Connect FAQ</a>, which will hopefully help clear up any other questions you have.</p>

I am a stranger on my blog and the time has come for me to make sure that this blog, its contents and its knowledge are archived and preserved and maybe rejuvenated at a later time.</p>
<p>I delved into blogging tools back in 2004 when I started my Masters degree in CS. I wanted some code to mess around with in my free time and everyone was talking about blogging. I looked into a variety of tools, built a small Linux server for myself at home, and installed a few of the tools that were freely available at that time. I had a heck of a time getting a hold of MT (Moveable Type, the most well-known name) and then found b2 by sheer luck. I loved the cool look of Michael&#8217;s blog and the people involved in the tool seemed to be open to comments and replied warmly to my emails and questions. Through the b2 forums I heard about WordPress and proceeded to install it on my own. To my astonishment, it worked without a hitch and I was blogging away in no time. I started looking through the code to understand how it worked and it drew me in every step of the way.</p>
<p>Within a few months of installing WordPress, I started to take part in the forums and wrote a few plugins and created some &#8220;hacks&#8221; for the tool. I even gained some notoriety with my MT VS WP post and that&#8217;s when the WordPress ecosphere started to look very attractive to me. I did not do this to seek attention, but I was getting a lot of attention and I was loving it. I believe that was when Matt first noticed me and we exchanged some emails and chatted with each other. With every month and with every release of WordPress I was getting more involved. At some point I realized that I could not do it alone and hired a few interested people to help me write posts and the blog started to get popular. I brought on some advertisers to help me offset costs. Matt gave me and my blog the highest honor of being included in the WordPress Planet and that&#8217;s when things really started to happen for this blog. I also started a WordPress Job blog (http://jobs.wordpress.net) which I still curate and I got involved in WordPress evangelism. Somewhere within this time, Matt had asked me to work for him at the new company he was starting and I had to turn him down because of visa restrictions and because I wanted to finish school (I kick myself every time I think about that).</p>
<p>WordPress started to mature and WordCamps started to happen. I graduated from school with a Master&#8217;s Degree in Computer Science and found a job. I wanted to stay involved but it was getting bigger than I could handle. I could either dive in and get into WordPress and the blogging world, or I could focus on my job, career and family. I decided to choose the latter. I still wanted to loosely be involved with WordPress and things went well for a couple of years with me being casually involved. I even visited and spoke at a couple of WordCamps.</p>
<p>When my son Lucien was born, all my time and attention was exhausted on him. I could not spend any time with WordPress or blogging at all. In addition to my growing family, I was diagnosed with a serious health condition just as I was starting a new job and moving to a new city. Needless to say, the blog was the last thing on my mind. James, who has been the sole author and curator for a long time, was my winning hand and just a fantastic helper and well wisher. He has kept things running for a long time and I have had no complaints.</p>
<p>But I have found very little time to come back and spend with my old friends, Weblog Tools Collection and WordPress. I do not want this blog&#8217;s content and conversations to be lost or forgotten because of my neglect. I am hoping this move will help it live on as an archive, or find new lifeblood in another form. I know that it is in the right hands.</p>
<p>So Adios and Gracias. I hope to see you in another blog, and take part in another conversation with you someday. It has been a wonderful journey and I appreciate everything that has taken place because of WordPress and every bit of help and encouragement that has been provided to me by so many of you. So thank to my wonderful audience of many years, thanks to my advertisers, thanks to my authors and finally thanks to Matt and to WordPress for making my life so much more fulfilling and successful.</p>
<p>Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All, And to All a Goodnight!</p>

With <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>, I imagine that could be one of the perks of <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2012/08/08/the-state-of-the-word-in-2012/">powering over 16% of the web</a>, but it&#8217;s true that news is becoming incredibly accessible. In short, news is everywhere.</p>
<p>Speaking of WordPress in general, you can of course acquire official direct news from <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/">WordPress News</a>, but you can also take a peak behind the curtain and follow news in the making at <a href="http://make.wordpress.org">Make WordPress.org</a>. Though it&#8217;s only specific to the <a href="http://wordpress.com">WordPress.com</a> blogging platform, <a href="http://en.blog.wordpress.com">WordPress.com News</a> is also worth watching for WordPress development news, as WordPress.com users often get access to new WordPress features before they&#8217;re released, so you&#8217;ll be able to try new features rather than just read about them.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more news than just direct official news, like I said earlier, it&#8217;s everywhere. You could subscribe to every general news site, every core developer&#8217;s personal blog, every premium theme shop, and every plugin developer, but why not subscribe to a few curated news sources instead? I guess you could call <a href="http://planet.wordpress.org">WordPress Planet</a> the official curated news source, but it&#8217;s really just a collection of all news items from a particular set of curated blogs. For specific news items curated from sources through the entire WordPress community, subscribe to <a href="http://poststat.us">Post Status</a>, and don&#8217;t neglect the power of allowing the folks you follow on <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://plus.google.com">Google+</a>, and/or <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> to curate news for you.</p>
<p>Speaking of the WordPress community, you should <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Contributing_to_WordPress">get involved</a> if you aren&#8217;t already. If you don&#8217;t even use WordPress yet, it&#8217;s time to get started <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress">with either WordPress.org</a> or <a href="http://learn.wordpress.com/get-started/">with WordPress.com</a>, share your thoughts with the world, and maybe spread some WordPress news on your blog too.</p>
<p>The news is out there, and it&#8217;s well within your reach. If you can&#8217;t find the news, it&#8217;s time to make your own.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<blockquote>The arts economy, already unstable, has been forced to contend with the twin challenges of changing tastes and new funding models. Entire industries that didn&#8217;t exist ten years ago are either thriving on venture capital, or thriving on companies that are thriving on it. It is now possible to find a $6 bottle of Miller High Life, a $48 plate of fried chicken, or a $20 BLT in parts of the city that used to be known for their dive bars and taco stands. If, after all, money has always been a means of effecting the world we want to bring about, when a region is flooded with uncommonly rich and uncommonly young people, that world begins to look very different. And we&#8217;re all living in it, whether we like it or not.</p></blockquote>

<p>SFGate has <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/technology/dotcommentary/article/Innovation-and-the-face-of-capitalism-4342160.php">The hypocrisy in Silicon Valley&#8217;s big talk on innovation</a>:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<blockquote>&#8220;[I]nnovation&#8221; is something of a magic word around here, shape-shifting to fit the speaker&#8217;s immediate needs. So long as semiconductors and coding are involved, people will staple it to anything from flying cars to the iFart app.</p>
<p>Other times it&#8217;s just code for &#8220;jobs,&#8221; used to justify asking for government favors one day and scolding them for meddling in the free market the next.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lower our payroll taxes because &#8230; innovation.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Drop that antitrust inquiry because &#8230; innovation.&#8221;</p>
<p>But for all the funding announcements, product launches, media attention and wealth creation, most of Silicon Valley doesn&#8217;t concern itself with aiming &#8220;almost ridiculously high.&#8221; It concerns itself primarily with getting people to click on ads or buy slightly better gadgets than the ones they got last year.</p></blockquote>

<p>The final comes from Rebecca Solnit, <a href="http://ma.tt/2011/07/on-blue/">who I&#8217;ve quoted before</a>, writes <a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n03/rebecca-solnit/diary">a diary for the London Review of Books</a>.</p>

<p>BuddyPress 1.7 is going to be one of our most exciting releases to date. It comes packaged with the same theme compatibility that was introduced in bbPress 2.0, which means that BuddyPress will now work out-of-the-box with a majority of the WordPress themes available today.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also fixed <a href="http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/1.7">a bunch of annoyances</a>, and smoothed out the installation and update experiences, to provide users and site-admins with a less intimidating introduction into building a community with BuddyPress.</p>
<p>Because of the hugeness of 1.7&#8242;s features and changes, we&#8217;ve spent a little extra time rigorously testing it with various types of themes and installations, to make it a worry-free update from BuddyPress 1.5 or later. The beta-testing phase has gone well, and uncovered only a few loose-ends that needed tying.</p>
