WordPress Weekend Resources – September 19, 2008

Another week has passed, which means another set of WordPress weekend resources.

WordPress Developer’s Toolbox – A massive collection of WordPress-related resources, compiled by Smashing Magazine. The collection may be a little overwhelming at first, and it does look a bit jumbled to me. There’s some good stuff there though.

WordPress .XML Test Data Import – Basically, you can use this file to import into a fresh WordPress install to set up a test environment for theming. It comes with a series of “Lorem ipsum” posts, as well as tags, categories, and other things. In last week’s issue of WordPress weekend resources, I featured a similar release by WPCandy.

Stalking the Wild 2.7 – Ryan Boren goes over some finalized features in WordPress 2.7. One of the most interesting ones is definitely the “automatic upgrade” of the WordPress core, as well as the automatic plugin installation and integration with the plugin browser.

That’s all for this week. If you know of any other recently published WordPress-related resources, feel free to leave a comment.

WordPress Weekend Resources – September 12, 2008

Another week has passed, which means another week of WordPress weekend resources.

WordPress Logos and Graphics – A collection of official WordPress logos, buttons, and wallpapers. Also has the official WordPress color palette. This stuff is the “real deal.”

Create an Ajax-based Auto-completing Search Field for your WordPress Theme – A very interesting tutorial written by Jean-Baptiste Jung over at Hack WordPress. This tutorial goes over how to create an auto-completing search box for your WordPress theme, complete with all the necessary code.

Easier Theme Development with the Sample Post Collection – Dan Philibin of WPCandy has just released an XML file for use in testing your WordPress themes. Included in the package is a collection of posts, tags, and categories. This can then be imported to your WordPress test site.

That’s all for this week. If you know of any recently published WordPress resources, feel free to let me know in the comments.

WordPress Weekend Resources – September 5, 2008

Another week has passed, another set of WordPress weekend resources.

45 Beautiful and Creative (WordPress) Designs – Six Revisions compiles an amazing collection of very creative WordPress-powered site designs.

First Look At WordPress 2.7 – Jeff Chandler of Weblog Tools Collection takes a very in-depth look of the upcoming WordPress 2.7 release, tentatively scheduled to be released in November. Included are screenshots of the new admin interface. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t be using this version on a production blog, as it isn’t stable.

WordPress Weekly Is Coming Back – After nearly a couple months off, the WordPress Weekly podcast will be returning as a part of Weblog Tools Collection. Hopefully this move will expose the podcast to a wider audience, as there will be an announcement link in every WordPress dashboard as a part of WLTC.

That’s all for this week. If you know of any other recently published WordPress resource links, feel free to let me know in the comments.
