Wordpress 3.0 is Officially Released!
Čer 18, 2010 Wordpress and Blogging Tips
The long-awaiting Wordpress 3.0 “Thelonious” which took more than 6 months to develop was finally released to public just hours ago!
With this newest version, you can perform bulk updates, create custom menus, custom post types, shortlinks and a lot of other useful features.
Play the video below to get an overview of what WP 3.0 is offering!
Thanks to all the developers who have contributed to this tremendous revision. You can now take a short breather after months of brainstorming, testing and implementation. It’s now my turn to be in the hot seat. My job now is to make sure ALL my themes work perfectly well on WP 3.0. I’ll be doing detailed testing from today onwards and update the change log of each theme whenever they have been tested for WP 3.0.
As for future theme development, I’ll be excited to add those extra features to my themes that were not available to previous Wordpress version!
Updated (July 7): All my themes are compatible with WP 3.0 now!

WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”
Čer 18, 2010 Wordpress News
Hi,
WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will love the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click.
The Future
Normally this is where I’d say we’re about to start work on 3.1, but we’re actually not. We’re going to take a release cycle off to focus on all of the things around WordPress. The growth of the community has been breathtaking, including over 10.3 million downloads of version 2.9, but so much of our effort has been focused on the core software it hasn’t left much time for anything else. Over the next three months we’re going to split into ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and compatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless. The goal of the teams isn’t going to be to make things perfect all at once, just better than they are today. We think this investment of time will give us a much stronger infrastructure to grow WordPress.org for the many tens of millions of users that will join us during the 3.X release cycle.
Thanks,
Shane G.
pTypeConverter Plugin For WordPress
Čer 15, 2010 Page Related Plugins, Post Related Plugins, Wordpress Plugins Directory
Hi,
This plugin is used to converts post types from one to another. This plugin is a complete reworking of my old plugin p2pConverter.
It allows to easily convert any post type of a certain post to another in an easy to use interface. A role capability prevents unwanted users from converting pages (i.e. only Administrators and Editors have this ability to begin with), which can be adjusted by using a Role Manager plugin.
Requires WordPress Version: 2.9 or higher
Thanks,

Fancy article loader Plugin For WordPress
Čer 12, 2010 Featured Plugins, Page Related Plugins, Post Related Plugins, Wordpress Plugins Directory
Hi,
This plugin will enable users with JavaScript enabled to view full article without reloading the page. When visitor click on the “Read more” link plugin will do it’s magic and display the full article on the same page.
It saves you some bandwidth as well as time because users do not have to wait for the page to reload. However if user has disabled javascript he will be taken to view more page just like it used to before so you do not have to worry about that.
Thanks,
Shane G.
