This will be a great opportunity for anyone that’s looking to get started with blogging, update an existing installation of Standard, or looking to migrate over to Standard to have their questions asked.

Release Week of Standard For WordPress.org

Over the course of the time that we’ve been building Standard For WordPress.org, the team has undergone a number of internal changes to help us better manage our project, codebase, deadlines, testing procedures, etc all of which I’ll likely discuss in a future post.

Additionally, we’ve partnered with Automattic as well as a few other notable guys in the WordPress community to make sure this release is as solid as possible. Continue reading

Thoughts On Developing Standard 3

Yesterday, 8BIT dropped the first preview of Standard 3.0.

For those of you that have been reading this site via web browser (rather than RSS) for sometime, you’ve probably seen the design under going changes for the past few weeks as I’ve been using this as a sandbox for some of the features.

The preview is available for Support Licesees, but I’m excited about this version of the product for a number of reasons.
