    At least that is the plan from the development blog on core. I updated my trunk version on my desktop which I use primarily for testing and will be using for all my theme and plugin development needs. The one thing that just about everybody noticed from the get-go was the color usage. Vibrant and…

    I really do. Recently I was trying to see if I could help anybody out with their WordPress questions and came across the sub-forum of localhost installs. I figure why not? I once had issues trying to figure out why I couldn’t see the pages. The issue that was on the plate was a server…

    One day while at work I was talking to one of the girls and brought up the fact that I love to mess around with WordPress. She was delighted to hear that because she was starting a personal blog for her child’s milestones. She was on the lookout for a good theme for her newly…

    I recently got a chance to assign my own themes in the WordPress Theme Trac in order to review submitted themes. I am beyond elated and feel a little honored at the same time. Some people may not understand what that means to me but I’m not too worried about that. What this means to…

I did recently have a little conversation with @ipstenu on Twitter about learning version control. Yes, I am still learning how to harness the power of simple commits and getting the hang of how to…

    Earlier today when I got home from work I did my usual routine of updating to the most current development version of WordPress, made sure all other applications were up to date and opened up my code editor (Notepad++) to view and edit my theme files. Since I was wide awake I tried my hand…

    Recently I have been working more diligently on putting some finishing touches on my personal blog’s theme. Working on a local machine is so much easier now that I understand how it works. I remember when I started out with PHP it was painful. I got frustrated because I didn’t know where the files had…

    Slowly but surely my blog’s is coming together. The one thing I am now attempting to do is work out a gallery system. While I do like the Twenty Twelve’s way of presenting the image gallery I want something a little different. The way the Twenty Twelve handles the images is by linking to a…
