I must stress that this is a test for the Firefox blogging plugin ScribeFire and therefore some formatting may be unusual. I take that back — formatting was perfect!

ScribeFire is a plugin for Firefox which will turn the popular web browser into an editor for boggers. ScribeFire supports many blogging services including; LiveJournal, Tumblr, Xanga and MySpace. Many blogging platforms such as WordPress, Moveable Type and Drupal, are supported too.

ScribeFire, an extension of Firefox ®, enables users to easily drag and drop formatted text from the Web into their blog(s), post entries, take notes, and optimize their ad inventory, directly through the Firefox browser.

WordPress Project Leader Matt Mullenweg’s presentation at this year’s WordCamp in Dallas.

Matt mainly talks about the latest release of WordPress (2.5) minutes after its release. This video shows off WordPress 2.5’s new features but also serves as a great introduction to WordPress for new users.

Having appreciated an easy way to upload and display photographs using the new gallery feature in WordPress 2.5 I have only just discovered that it has broken my theme’s layout.

At first I thought it was the extra long titles given to each photo. After editing every title the layout is still screwed up! I’m sure it is just a snippet of CSS away from a fix and I will have to look into it.

I (very) recently wondered why there was no WordPress 2.4. I soon found the answer, strangely enough by chance shortly after posting my query in the last post.

Anyway, here’s the reason;

As discussed in the developer mailing list, the next release of WordPress will be in March instead of January because of the holidays and the amount of changes that will take place in the codebase as well as the admin section. The decision was made to consider 2.4 a skipped December release and move straight on to 2.5. The reasons for the change in the schedule include some good things cooking in the oven and the developers do not want this to become a rushed release.

The quote above was from weblogtoolscollection.com (yet another useful site btw).
