The Logo for the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

May 2, 2014 / Tom

As discussed earlier last month, the next version of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate is currently in development.

For those who are interested:

You can find the current stable version on GitHub.
The `develop` branch to which the core team and I are working (though we’re not currently accepting pull requests).
And you can read about the changes in the upcoming version in this previous post.

The foundation of the status of the next version of the Boilerplate currently leaves a lot to be desired, but the team and I – along with the help of Slack (probably a topic for another post ) – are in the process of planning the upcoming website that will accompany the project.

The problem? We’re all developers, but we need a logo.

Title Capitalization for WordPress

April 21, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

When it comes to drafting and editing posts, one of the things that I often have to refer to is how to properly capitalize certain headings. I’d figure after this long, I’d actually have all of the rules memorized, but apparently that’s not the case (no pun intended :).

Anyway, in order to help with this, I was using a third-party tool for double-checking proper capitalization of post titles and heading elements. But, over time, that became a bit tedious so I created a small plugin to automatically and properly capitalize post titles and the heading elements of post content.

Stretching myself as creatively as possible, I’ve opted to call the plugin Title Capitalization for WordPress.

How We’re Planning The Next Iteration of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

April 9, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

Months ago, I announced that there was going to be a major update to the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.

Because of its nature in being a hobby project, because this project is something that’s being worked on by a number of contributors, and because the next iteration is going to be a major rewrite of what we have so far, it’s taking a while to begin pushing code for the new Boilerplate.

But there are a lot of neat things coming, and I think that even if it’s taking us a while to get something on GitHub, it’s worth providing updates as to where we currently stand with the project.

The Third Version of Live Theme For WordPress

April 3, 2014 / Tom

Comments are closed on this post. Please leave comments on the original blog post.

About four years ago, I had the pleasure of working with a team to help deliver the first iteration of Live Theme for WordPress; however, as the team leaned out, changed directions, and paired down our product focus, we sold the product to someone else for continued development and maintenance.

To make a somewhat long (perhaps even boring) story short, I’m currently working on the third version of Live Theme for WordPress.

Updates To Markdown Code For WordPress (0.5.1)

March 20, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

One of the small plugins that I’ve maintained – and used – for sometime is the Markdown Code For WordPress plugin.

I initially wrote the plugin last year as a way to easily include my most frequently used markdown syntax into my post and comment editing.

Specifically, the plugin supports:

Backticks for `code`.
Single-asterisks *for emphasis*.
Double-asterisks **for strong**.

That’s all – short and sweet.

But with some of the latest changes to Jetpack and while I’ve been working on a number of smaller projects (or cleaning house of some of them), I went ahead and made some minor updates to the plugin.
