Just saw this from the guys at wpmu.org – Membership Lite. It’s a membership plugin much like others (Wishlist Member, Magic Members), but this one seems to be free and actually looks really good! Plus it’s in the WordPress repository. I’m gonna give it a try for sure and will post my thoughts when I’m done. Anyone else used it?
Custom Post Types Interview
I recently got interviewed by Dan Milward for GetShopped.org as part of their 12 Awesome Examples of Custom Post Types article, in particular the innovative ways we’ve implemented them at WooThemes. I gave him the low down on what we did with Estate and the Tumblog themes. There’s some really interesting examples in the article, check it out. Thanks Dan!
CodeIgniter Learning
Something I found useful while brushing up on my PHP MVC knowledge was this book by Packt Publishing. It’s called CodeIgniter 1.7 and takes you through the fundamental concepts of MVC within the CodeIgniter framework including a chapter on basic CRUD functions. Continue reading CodeIgniter Learning
Bundle Hunt
I recently purchased the treasure from Bundle Hunt and found the contents to be pretty rad. I’m particulary looking forward to getting to grips with Billings (a invoicing, project management, time tracking app for mac/iPhone), Subernova (online project management tool), and reading the Smashing Magazine ebook on Mastering Photoshop. The Bundle Hunt concept seems similar to the whole MacHeist vibe, and includes some other useful design stuff like icons and WordPress themes. Continue reading Bundle Hunt

jQuery Keyboard Input
I was working on some jQuery today in a WordPress theme I’m working on, and I wanted to simulate a keyboard input so that I could force a jQuery plugin to work in the way I wanted it to without hacking its core. Here’s how you do it Continue reading jQuery Keyboard Input
FlagTag WordPress Plugin
Seeing as how I’m big on getting behind your sports team, I saw an initiative by White Wall Web (Disclaimer: I used to work for them) to get the internet into the World Cup Feva by adding what they call a FlagTag to your site. I think it’s fantastic, see my FlagTag on the right of the site. But what most people (who cant code) don’t know how to do is add the code to their website. So I thought, let’s use my WordPress experience and slap together a plugin. No code editing, just a simple download and upload, activate the plugin, and choose your flag! It’s that easy.
Download it here or here. Continue reading FlagTag WordPress Plugin
Bafana Bafana
Although many have written them off, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it…I think Bafana Bafana (South African national soccer team) will make the Quarter Finals of the upcoming Fifa 2010 World Cup. Here’s why Continue reading Bafana Bafana
