![When to Use Thumbnails and When Not To]()
By Ryan
November 8, 2007 – 8:49 am
Since early on WordPress blogs have offered an automated image resizing feature on their blogs. For every image that is uploaded to a WordPress sytem, an image is created in the same location at a smaller size.
The advantage of this is that the image is of a smaller file size, which means it will take [...]
![The Best WordPress Magazine Themes Available]()
By Ryan
October 5, 2007 – 6:56 am
Now that blogs are being used by groups of people (be it businesses, organizations, even schools) just as much as they are individuals, WordPress theme designers have felt that need and have created a number of quality magazine–style themes in response. Some of them are good, some are better, and some are simple outstanding. What [...]
![Overlooked Additions to WordPress in Version 2.3]()

September 27, 2007 – 6:00 am
Nobody wants to seem like that guy. I mean, look at him. Sand is messy.
The buzz over the last few days has been somewhat predictable. The talk has been mostly about the new tagging features added to version 2.3 and the update notifications for WordPress and Plugins. Now these are all well and good additions [...]
![First Hands on Dexter: Playing with WordPress 2.3]()

As Matt announced only a few hours ago, WordPress 2.3, Dexter (named after another famous jazz musician) is officially available. I’ve spent the past hour or so playing with it, and though I would post my thoughts (especially in following up to my earlier thoughts a couple days ago).
First impression: What a weird image to [...]
![Use Posts for Posts and Pages for Pages]()

That headline may seem redundant (that’s the idea!) but this is an issue worth discussing.
When it comes to creating fresh and time-sensitive content, Posts are perfect. No one would question that. Static, time-insensitive content is, however, up in the air sometimes.
Some professional bloggers like Daniel and Darren will, at times, post fairly static content into [...]
![It’s WordPress, not Wordpress]()
By Ryan
August 14, 2007 – 8:10 am
Thought I can’t very well condemn everyone for this, since before Lorelle I wasn’t even aware of certain WordPress particulars. But now that I do, much the same way I am with semantics and grammar, I notice the little things and make them bigger things. Basically if you want to be respected when it comes [...]
![Theme Authors Frustrated at Removal of Themes]()
By Ryan
Caught wind of some backlash that I hadn’t considered in regards to WordPress removing sponsored themes from it’s Theme Viewer (upwards of 2,100 and counting removed).
Apparently many theme authors are being caught off guard.
Theme authors such as Cory Miller are finding out that without warning or any chance to make their themes comply with the [...]
![Theme Viewer Being Thinned Out]()
By Ryan
While doing my daily once-over of the WordPress Theme Viewer (to see what themes should be highlighted) I noticed a steep decrease in the number of themes added over the weekend. Moreover, I noticed something interesting about the number of pages listed at the bottom of the page.
And this is only what I was able [...]
