Mayer For WordPress – Now Available at WordPress.com

February 13, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

I’m proud to announce that, as of today, Mayer is officially for sale on WordPress.com.

This particular release has been a long time coming, so much so that I’ve discussed it a number of times on the blog already:

Of course, after several rounds of beta, code reviews, feature changes, and so on, things are bound to change over the course of development.

But today, Mayer is officially at `1.0` and is ready for purchase.

Test Your Own Work: Officially On Mayer

January 16, 2014 / Tom

dog fooding can sometimes give you the monday feels (as one of my dog demonstrates)

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I firmly believe that developers should be dog fooding their own work.

This isn’t to say that I don’t believe that assembling a team of beta testers is unimportant – on the contrary – but if you’re building something, and the only people who have experience using said product are people other than you, then I think that’s a problem.

So as of today, I’m proud (if not a little bit embarrassed) to be officially test-driving Mayer – my next WordPress theme that I’ve been discussing for sometime.

I’m Officially Looking For Beta Testers For ‘Mayer’

January 6, 2014 / Tom

As of today, I’m excited to announce that I am officially looking for a handful of beta testers for Mayer.

In previous blog posts, I’ve shared a bit about the theme:

Mayer is for bloggers who write frequently and/or write long form content, or want to do either of the above.
It offers no options – everything is managed via the Theme Customizer.
This is the theme I will be using in place of Standard
Fully supports WordPress 3.8
…and more

But, as they say, I’m too close to the product, and so I need to get it into the hands of others who are willing to install it, toy around with it, try to break it, and report bugs, and other mistakes, and who are willing to do so for a number of rounds of testing.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in doing, then please read on as I’ve got all the details below.

A Few Words About My Upcoming WordPress Theme

December 16, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Several weeks ago, I wrote an article about a theme that I’ve been working on that I’ll be using in place of Standard once development has actually been completed.

When it comes to working on project, I think it’s fair to say that sometimes we start off talking about certain things that we’re working on, get sidetracked on something new, and never end up coming back to it.

So in an effort to not only keep myself accountable, but also to continue to give a bit more information on the theme, I thought I’d provide additional updates as to its status, potential release date, how I’ll be rolling it out, and all that fun stuff.

See All of Your WordPress Page Template Info

November 25, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

For me, one of the minor annoyances with working with WordPress page templates is that you often have to look at a specific page’s edit screen to see what page template it has been assigned.

That is to say that there’s no way to get a global view of the pages and their associated templates.

In order to make it a bit easier, I wrote a quick plugin that makes it easy to see which page template is assigned to a given page on the All Pages screen in the WordPress dashboard.
