What the heck is going on, you ask? Say hello to Tersus.

Bare bones? You got it. Tersus is an achingly simple WordPress theme without all the usual cruft.

Super Ginormous

Carmen

Car­men is here, and she’s the best Word­Press yet. Grab the lat­est ver­sion from your Dash­board by going to Tools > Upgrade or down­load from WordPress.org. With fea­tures like eas­ier video embeds, bet­ter image edit­ing, post thumb­nails and more, Word­Press 2.9 is more pow­er­ful and speed­ier than its predecessors.

Post Thumbnails in RSS feeds

the_post_thumbnail is one of my favorite addi­tions to Word­Press 2.9, but I recently ran into a prob­lem… the images I had set as my post thumb­nails weren’t being included in my RSS feed. Assum­ing you’ve already added sup­port for thumb­nails to your theme, you should be able to add this snip­pet to your theme’s functions.php file to dis­play … Read the rest of this item

Worthwhile

So far, over 300 peo­ple have com­mit­ted to par­tic­i­pat­ing in Project 52. It’s pretty safe to say that it’s exceeded everyone’s expec­ta­tions.

Best Bot Yet

In its short his­tory, Tap­bots has released two incred­i­bly well-designed util­i­ties for the iPhone: Weight­bot & Con­vert­bot. Last night they launched their third — and in my opin­ion, it’s the best bot yet. Paste­bot is the ulti­mate clip­board man­ager for the iPhone or iPod touch.

Project 52

Thanks to Anton’s sug­ges­tion of Project 52 — based on a tweet by Chris Wal­lace — I’m pub­licly com­mit­ting to write more in 2010. Begin­ning the first week of Jan­u­ary, I’ll post at least one new (sub­stan­tial) arti­cle. Asides and port­fo­lio entries won’t count. Why am I doing this? I want to become a bet­ter writer and I’m tired … Read the rest of this item
