Title Capitalization For WordPress 1.1.3

June 17, 2015 / Tom / 0 Comments

A little over a year ago, I published a small plugin for WordPress to GitHub – Title Capitalization for WordPress.

Title Capitalization For WordPress

The idea behind the plugin is easy:

Properly capitalizes post titles and heading elements in the post content.

Ultimately, it’s meant to make sure that when you enter content – specifically headings – the work will be presented in the best light possible since it will pass through a formatter than properly capitalizes your text and what not based on a set of rules.

Though it hasn’t been updated in sometime, Andy Fragen was kind enough to submit a pull request that I finally got around to merging and to discussing (sorry Andy!) and thought I’d detail it here.

What’s Up With Comment Images For WordPress?

June 2, 2015 / Tom / 0 Comments

Every now and then I’ll get an email or a tweet that asks me something about Comment Images – a plugin for WordPress that initially wrote sometime ago. The plugin is active on 6,000+ installs and has 4.7/5 rating so I’m generally happy with the reception of the plugin.

Over time, however, I’ve become busier and busier with Pressware. I’ve talked about this in a number of different posts (such as those around the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate and Mayer) and I probably need to talk more about what I’m doing at Pressware that’s beginning to take more and more of my time, but that’s content for another post on another day.

I responded that I no longer maintained the plugin, but also realized that I’ve yet to actually take the time to explain what’s happened with it.

Mayer For WordPress By Reaktiv Studios

May 28, 2015 / Tom / 0 Comments

Over the past few years of working within the WordPress space, I’ve had a chance to meet a lot of really great people and teams, and I’ve had the chance to work on a lot of different types of projects. Some of these include commercial themes, commercial plugins, free themes, free plugins, custom web applications, and so on and so forth.

It’s a great time to be a developer in the WordPress economy, isn’t it?

One of the things that comes with running your own business is trying to figure out what you’re best at doing and what you’re fair at doing so you can not only streamline your work, but so you can also make sure you’re maximizing the amount of time you’re spending working on things that you enjoy the most.

So how are these related?

Mayer For WordPress is For Sale

May 1, 2015 / Tom

A little over a year ago, I released Mayer For WordPress and have been selling it on WordPress.com ever since.

Mayer For WordPress

For those who are unfamiliar with the theme, it offers the following features:

Mobile-ready on all devices
`editor-style.css` so that all of the content you write in the Dashboard looks exactly as it will on the front-end
Designed specifically for the single-author blog
Offers no more options than necessary to get your blog looking at exactly like the demo
..and much more

Not long ago, I placed the theme on GitHub. In fact, for those who have been reading this blog long enough will recall that I used to run it on this site.

Moving On From The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

March 4, 2015 / Tom / 0 Comments

Over the last few weeks, I’ve talked about some of the changes that I’ve been looking to make over the coming weeks primarily so that I can re-focus my efforts. Specifically, I talked about this in this post and in this post.

One of the first changes that I needed to make was that of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.
