This isn&#8217;t the first time the two have partnered up as FM and Automattic have been launching a series of websites for specific subjects such as FoodPress and <a href="http://www.wptavern.com/first-foodpress-now-ecopressed">EcoPress</a>. This deal presents Federated Media the opportunity to sell highly relevant advertising in mass. For example, Automattic most likely has details that allow them to know the best performing sites on specific subjects such as automotive, food, tech, etc. This data can be used to display relevant advertising from FM so that the content and the advertising are related to each other.</p>
<p>One of the quotes I&#8217;m seeing attributed to Toni Schneider, CEO of Automattic rubs me the wrong way.</p>
<blockquote><p>Automattic’s WordPress software supports 25 million blogs with a combined readership of 300 million unique visitors per month &#8212; a total of 15 percent of the web sites on the Internet, Schneider said.</p></blockquote>
<p>First off, the only thing of Automattics&#8217; is WordPress.com. Secondly, while it seems like Toni is talking about 25 million blogs on WordPress.com, how can that be 15% of the internet? That&#8217;s like saying 15% of the internet calls WordPress.com home and I highly doubt that. The only way in which that makes sense is if you combine the sites using WordPress the self-hosted software and those hosted on WordPress.com. </p>
<p>Based on the <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/federated-media-publishing-partners-with-automattic-to-provide-exclusive-representation-for-wordpresscom-community-of-independent-publishers-2011-10-19">press release on MarketWatch</a>, the advertising will be <strong>Opt-In</strong>. One of the most important questions that has not been answered is how revenue sharing will work. One would hope that those who are creating the content will end up getting a small slice of the pie. If not, it&#8217;s a bad deal all the way around. </p>

The company has existed since 2007 and is built around publications by providing the tools necessary for newspapers to own their local market, hence the name. Liz Gannes of AllThingsD was the <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20111019/the-company-behind-wordpress-invests-in-newspaper-toolmaker-ownlocal/">first to break the story</a> and managed to get this quote out of Matt regarding the investment.</p>
<blockquote><p>Their approach is highly complementary to our own goals of making it easy for anyone in the world to have a beautiful Web site</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s an interesting investment considering local newspapers appear to be dying by the day. But OwnLocal is doing so well that despite the total amount of 2 million dollars thus far in funding, they are currently supporting their staff of 20 based on the revenue they are generating. </p>

<div class="blockquote"><blockquote><p>I’ve always thought of it this way: a good writer reads a lot of books. They see how other writers solve problems. They pay attention to what’s happening now as much as they pay attention to the classics. Good writers are readers first, but eagle-eyed, careful readers.</p>
<p>I think good developers are the same: they look at other apps. They “read” those apps, the problems they have and how they solve them. They notice trends, they notice new solutions, they notice when things work and when they don’t.</p></blockquote></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It reminds me of some passages from a book I&#8217;m reading right now, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0385480016/">Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott</a>:</p>
<div class="blockquote"><blockquote><p><img class="alignright" src="http://matt.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/bird-by-bird.jpeg?w=200" alt="Bird by Bird" width="200" height="308" />However, in the meantime, we are going to concentrate on writing itself, on how to become a better writer, because, for one thing, becoming a better writer is going to help you become a better reader, and that is the real payoff. [...]</p>
<p>Writing can give you what having a baby can give you: it can get you to start paying attention, can help you soften, can wake you up. [...]</p>
<p>Because for some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. they show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die. They are full of all the things that you don&#8217;t get in real life &#8212; wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. And quality of attention: we may notice amazing details during the course of a day but we rarely let ourselves stop and really pay attention.

Go grab the development version of the plugin on the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/download/">download page</a> as there have been a few changes since <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/2011/07/11/get-a-sneak-preview-of-wp-super-cache-before-1-0/">my last post</a> (where I announced support for mixed https sites among other things).</p>
<p>Some of the changes:</p>
<ul>
<li> The cache preloader will now preload tags and categories pages (and whatever other taxonomy you want by using the wp_cache_preload_taxonomies filter). It should also preload pages with custom post types, but I haven&#8217;t tested that yet as I don&#8217;t have any such pages here. I hope <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-preload-custom-post-types?replies=5">Adam does</a> at least!</li>
<li> You should be able to delete files from the cache file listing again.</li>
<li> You can make &#8220;known users&#8221; anonymous so they&#8217;re served Supercache cache files. Logged in users will appear logged out and users who leave comments won&#8217;t have the comment form filled in however.</li>
<li> And quite a few more <a href="http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/wp-super-cache/">bugfixes</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Only thing is, I need your help. The development version is running on this multisite install of WordPress and it&#8217;s working fine but I really need feedback, especially before 1.0 comes out.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re comfortable with WordPress please go visit the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/download/">download page</a> and install the development version. Thanks!</p>

The goal of the program is to encourage youths to participate in open source which is in contrast to Google Summer of Code which is aimed at university students.

The other night, I discovered an idea that immediately lit the light bulb over my head, mostly because I couldn&#8217;t believe that it was not already a feature in WordPress. Approximately <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic/fix-the-caption-system-to-allow-links-inside-captions">one year ago</a>, Jeremy Clarke submitted the idea to allow URLs to be inserted into image captions with the primary goal of making it easy to attribute images to their source. I&#8217;ve personally come across the issue where instead of applying the image credits within the image caption, I have to add a note somewhere within the post which is stupid since image captions are the <strong>PERFECT</strong> spot for attribution. Fast forward to October 18th, 2011 with WordPress 3.3. knocking on the door and this ability is still not present within WordPress. However, there are a couple of things that point to this feature being added soon as the status for the idea is marked <em>Good Idea! We&#8217;re Working On It</em>. There is also a ticket in trac, <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18311">#18311</a> that has a patch but is currently awaiting review. </p>
<p>While there is not a native, user-friendly way of adding links to image captions, there are a couple of ways in which it can be accomplished. The first is by using &#8216; instead of &#8221; when entering the code for your link. However, when switching between the code and visual editors, the link is erased leaving text in place of the link. </p>
<p>Second, you can try using the code <a href="http://konstruktors.com/blog/wordpress/3203-how-to-automatically-add-image-credit-or-source-url-to-photo-captions-in-wordpress/">provided by Kaspars of Konstruktors.com </a>inside of your functions.php file which will add a &#8220;<strong>Source URL</strong>&#8221; field to every image that is uploaded through the WordPress media library. When using this method, it&#8217;s important to note that the source URL will be visible only if you specify an image caption upon inserting the image. If implemented correctly, it will look something like this.</p>

<p>Third, you can try using the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/links-in-captions/">Links In Captions Plugin</a> by <a href="http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/katzwebdesign/">Zack Katz</a>. After activation, you can add links to captions via the following format: {link url=&#8221;http://www.example.com&#8221;}Anchor text here{/link} Two benefits to this plugin is that it has support for the Target and Rel attributes and you can use shortcodes within the caption area. </p>
<p>Personally, I think Kaspars solution is the most user-friendly after the functions.php file is setup correctly. I&#8217;d like to see him package that as a plugin so more users can take advantage of it as it looks as though it was part of the media manager all along. However, the best scenario is for this functionality to some how end up within the core of WordPress. If you have the know-how, please consider contributing to the ticket or writing a better patch to get this into core. </p>

Sort of. After quite a bit of discussion amongst community members regarding the new menu flyouts in WordPress 3.3, Aaron D. Campbell contributed with a <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-doesnt-expandcollapse-in-33-beta-1-why/page/3?replies=72#post-2390247">thought out post</a> which concluded with a link to a plugin he created called <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/expanded-admin-menus/">Expanded Admin Menus</a>. </p>
<p>After activating the plugin in WordPress 3.3 Beta 1, this is what your left handed navigational menus will look like.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/expanded-menu-items.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/expanded-menu-items.png" alt="Expanded Menu Items" title="expanded menu items" width="157" height="365" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5638" /></a></p>
<p>Unfortunately, it&#8217;s a far cry from what users enjoyed in WordPress 3.2.1. Instead of being able to choose which main menu item is expanded or collapsed, all of them are expanded. That deafening cry of pain you hear is from mouse scroll wheels all across the globe. After using the plugin for five minutes, it was clear to me that it&#8217;s even more of a usability nightmare for myself then dealing with the flyout menus. With all menu items presented at once, my eyes have to scroll through each one to find the specific link I&#8217;m looking for. I&#8217;m presented with too much information at one time making browsing a pain in the neck. If that were not enough, the collapsed menu looks completely different than the normal collapsed menu, probably due to the CSS it uses. </p>
<div id="attachment_5639" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/expandedmenuitems2.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/expandedmenuitems2.png" alt="Collapsed Verson Of Expanded Menu Items" title="expandedmenuitems2" width="237" height="218" class="size-full wp-image-5639" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Collapsed Version Of Expanded Menu Items</p></div>
<p>While I&#8217;m not going to discount the use of this plugin because of that particular bug, the bottom line is that this plugin does not solve the problem that the forum thread was dedicated to. It&#8217;s not about having all of the admin menus opened or closed. It was the end user opportunity to pick and choose which menus were vertically expanded or collapsed while being able to have multiple menus opened or closed. Nice effort on the part of Aaron to provide an option to users who loved that particular feature in WordPress 3.2 but in its current form, the plugin comes nowhere close to solving the problem. </p>

Kudos goes out to the Schipulcon group for getting these two together for an awesome presentation. The audio is terrible until you hit the 4 minute mark. If you want to see a transcript for some of the questions you can read them on the <a href="http://blog.schipul.com/drupal-and-wordpress-at-schipulcon-one-stage-one-open-source-love/">Schipul Blog</a>. Definitely watch from 32 minutes onward as that is when the audience starts asking some pretty good questions. </p>

<p>We chose to use WordPress as it offers a simple, quick (with such a short development window) and flexible open source solution to a site primarily designed for publishing content. As such it is easy to use for a wide range of content editors and, of course, provides significant cost savings for maintenance and development. Rather than develop a theme ourselves we chose to use a theme called ‘striking’ developed by Kaptinlin that fitted what we needed with a little customization. &#8211; Via <a href="http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2011/10/06/holding-the-fort/">Holding the Fort</a></p>

<p>Your code works, but is it safe? When writing code for a high-profile environment, you&#8217;ll need to be extra cautious of how you handle data coming into WordPress and how it&#8217;s presented to the end user. This commonly comes up when building a settings page for your theme, creating and manipulating shortcodes, or saving and rendering extra data associated with a post.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a distinction between how input and output are managed, however.</p>
<h3>Validation: Checking User Input</h3>
<p>To validate is to ensure the data you&#8217;ve requested of the user matches what they&#8217;ve submitted. There are <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation#Input_Validation">several core methods you can use for input validation</a>; usage obviously depends on the <em>type</em> of fields you&#8217;d like to validate. Let&#8217;s take a look at an example.</p>
<p>Say we have an input area in our form like this:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml;">&lt;input type="text" id="my-zipcode" name="my-zipcode" maxlength="5" /&gt;</pre>
<p>Just like that, we&#8217;ve limited my user to five characters of input, but there&#8217;s no limitation on what they can input. They could enter &#8220;11221&#8243; or &#8220;eval(&#8220;. If we&#8217;re saving to the database, there&#8217;s no way we want to give the user unrestricted write access.</p>
<p>This is where validation plays a role. When processing the form, we&#8217;ll write code to check each field for its proper data type. If it&#8217;s not of the proper data type, we&#8217;ll discard it. For instance, to check &#8220;my-zipcode&#8221; field, we might do something like this:</p>
<pre class="brush: php;">$safe_zipcode = intval( $_POST['my-zipcode'] );
if ( ! $safe_zipcode )
$safe_zipcode = '';
update_post_meta( $post-&gt;ID, 'my_zipcode', $safe_zipcode );</pre>
<p>The intval() function casts user input as an integer, and defaults to zero if the input was a non-numeric value. We then check to see if the value ended up as zero. If it did, we&#8217;ll save an empty value to the database. Otherwise, we&#8217;ll save the properly validated zipcode.</p>
<p>This style of validation most closely follows WordPress&#8217; <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation#Whitelist">whitelist philosophy</a>: only allow the user to input what you&#8217;re expecting. Luckily, there&#8217;s a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation#Input_Validation">number of handy helper functions</a> you can use for most every data type.</p>
<h3>Sanitization: Escaping Output</h3>
<p>For security on the other end of the spectrum, we have sanitization. To sanitize is to take the data you may already have and help secure it prior to rendering it for the end user. WordPress thankfully has a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation#Output_Sanitation">few helper functions</a> we can use for most of what we&#8217;ll commonly need to do:</p>
<p><strong>esc_html()</strong> we should use anytime our HTML element encloses a section of data we&#8217;re outputting.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true;">&lt;h4&gt;&lt;?php echo esc_html( $title ); ?&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;</pre>
<p><strong>esc_url()</strong> should be used on all URLs, including those in the &#8216;src&#8217; and &#8216;href&#8217; attributes of an HTML element.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true;">&lt;img src="&lt;?php echo esc_url( $great_user_picture_url ); ?&gt;" /&gt;</pre>
<p><strong>esc_js()</strong> is intended for inline Javascript.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true;">&lt;a href="#" onclick="&lt;?php echo esc_js( $custom_js ); ?&gt;"&gt;Click me&lt;/a&gt;</pre>
<p><strong>esc_attr()</strong> can be used on everything else that&#8217;s printed into an HTML element&#8217;s attribute.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true;">&lt;ul class="&lt;?php echo esc_attr( $stored_class ); ?&gt;"&gt;</pre>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that most WordPress functions properly prepare the data for output, and you don&#8217;t need to escape again.</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true;">&lt;h4&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;</pre>
<p>Also, as there are always exceptions to the rule, there are a selection of user-submitted data that needs to be validated <em>and</em> sanitized. Freeform text areas would fall into this category. For this, you can run user data through sanitize_text_field() or any of the wp_kses_*() functions.</p>
<p><strong>To recap:</strong> follow the whitelist philosophy with data validation, and only allow the user to input data of your expected type. If it&#8217;s not the proper type, discard it. Sanitize data as much as possible on output, and a selection needs to be sanitized on input too.</p>

I was with him up until the point he discussed security where he states that WordPress is plagued by frequent security updates. This is not true. Security within WordPress has gotten better with time, not worse and it&#8217;s not like we&#8217;re updating WordPress every two weeks. I&#8217;m not sure what Chris wants in a CMS platform. One update a year? One update every 3 months that fixes security vulnerabilities instead of getting that fix immediately? </p>

I&#8217;ve experienced the issue of clicking a plugin link only to be redirected magically to the plugin repository page without any explanation as to why. From here, I perform a search to find the plugin that I was linked to only to come up empty. In my opinion, the 404 page on the plugin repository should give a few explanations as to why the plugin was not found. It could have been its removal, its suspension, or a bad link but at least give a little explanation. I especially like the idea <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ http://fyre.it/xix">presented by GraphicsCove</a> in providing a list of 3 or 5 similar plugins. I&#8217;d also like to see a little bit of Matt&#8217;s witty humor. What better place to put it than on a 404 page. </p>
<p>If you had the opportunity to create the 404 page, what information would you present on it?</p>

The ability to vertically expand or collapse menus will be disappearing in favor of the flyout animation. Personally, I like the feature as I now get to see all of the menu items without having to click a button. However, many others have voiced their discontent with this User Interface change. In fact, there is a <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-doesnt-expandcollapse-in-33-beta-1-why?replies=43">thread on the WordPress.org support forums</a> that is nearing 50 posts specifically dealing with this issue. </p>
<p>Even though I like flyouts, I don&#8217;t have any problem with the way menus work in WordPress 3.2. In fact, it was the best of both worlds. I typically use the Icons only approach which has the flyouts while always having the option to see the full menu with the ability to vertically expand or collapse. In the newest instance, that choice has been taken away. This <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-doesnt-expandcollapse-in-33-beta-1-why?replies=43#post-2386205">response</a> by Jonschlinkert has some interesting questions that I think would be good to have answered from the WordPress UI Team. </p>
<blockquote><p>Who was asking you to remove the expand/collapse feature? Can you point us to that request and the support for it? In other words, why is the designer &#8220;fixing&#8221; something that wasn&#8217;t broken?</p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in seeing how the feature evolved, look at the log for <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18382">ticket #18382</a>. For the curious, <a href="https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-dev&search=flyout&sort=asc">here is a short list of statements</a> made in the WordPress Development Channel from May 31st 2011 to October 11th 2011, talking about the flyout menus. Nothing really exciting to read with the exception of Otto42s comment on September 19th. </p>
<blockquote><p>Otto42 &#8211; they make everything take like 3 times longer to find. i used to just scroll the page and go right to the menu i want.. now it&#8217;s a matter of hunting and searching and checking the f-ing flyout menus</p></blockquote>
<p>If Flyout menus get past beta and are in the final release, that is when we will be able to measure the success or failure of the change. If a major revolt happens, it&#8217;s not like reverting the change will be hard and it could come in a follow up point release. At the end of the day though, the folks in the forum thread have to be commended for providing valuable feedback during the beta testing process.</p>

Here are six things I think are inevitable for Apple to do over the next decade, from most to least obvious: maps, iCloud, payments, TVs, search, and cars.</p>
<h3>1. Maps</h3>
<p>When the iPhone was first released Steve Jobs called Maps on iPhone <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUEiwBZRHs8&t=8m13s">the best version of Google Maps on the planet</a>, with emphasis on what Apple&#8217;s designers had brought to Google&#8217;s raw technology (can&#8217;t find that link). Four years later, you <a href="http://gigaom.com/apple/apple-charting-new-future-for-ios-maps-without-google/">can&#8217;t imagine</a> such a core piece of the mobile experience reliant on their largest competitor. Hopefully this will also give Apple a chance to fill usability gaps in the maps experience today, like that you can&#8217;t click from the &#8220;where&#8221; field in a calendar appointment straight to maps. (Drives me crazy.) Note that the only &#8220;Google&#8221; branding in maps today is in the bottom left, they know they&#8217;re getting replaced and have done an admirable job on the Safari version of maps on iPhone and iPad.</p>
<p>Google Maps + Navigation on Android is my favorite mobile app of the past 3 years (haven&#8217;t used Siri yet) &#8212; it&#8217;s what Garmin should have built $8 billion in revenue and R&amp;D ago. (Remember the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garmin_N%C3%BCvifone">Garmin Nüvifone</a>?) Apple was smart to partner in the beginning, but they can, and should, raise the bar.</p>
<h3>2. iCloud</h3>
<p>The abstraction of documents, photos, videos, their equivalents in &#8220;bought&#8221; media (iBooks, music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes store), the deemphasis of the filesystem with every iteration of OS X, and the rough ideas of things like MobileMe&#8217;s dock syncing, points to the combination of services that will ultimately disrupt the &#8220;magic folder&#8221; providers like Dropbox. I love Dropbox, but it&#8217;ll be impossible for them to do the deep OS integration needed to match the direction Apple is heading &#8212; never thinking about what is where, ever again, just having everything you&#8217;ve ever created or used available in the same place on all your devices.</p>
<p>They know this is best for consumers. My friend Rene told me how when his hard drive crashed last year he contacted Apple support and they gave him a link to re-download the past 4 years of music he&#8217;d purchased on iTunes. That&#8217;s obviously the right thing to do, even if labels have had to be dragged kicking and screaming toward it. By this time tomorrow it&#8217;ll just be part of the experience when he signs into iTunes on a new computer. Update: <a href="http://www.techmeme.com/111011/p34#a111011p34">Apple released iTunes 10.5 a day early with this feature</a>.</p>
<h3>3. Payments</h3>
<p>Your phone becomes your credit card. Apple doesn&#8217;t replace Visa or Mastercard, but they do replace all of those scammy rewards and branded cards that prey on unsophisticated consumers. Google will probably do this first, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VfpVYYQzHs">it&#8217;ll be like Microsoft Surface</a>, brilliant but two sandwiches short of a picnic.</p>
<h3>4. TVs</h3>
<p>I recently got one of the <a href="http://www.apple.com/displays/">new Thunderbolt displays</a> and man, a super-sized version of this would be killer in my living room. (The speakers are surprisingly good.) TVs are just so bad, not so much in the hardware which can be beautiful <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5441310/samsungs-led-lcd-hdtv-lineup-the-c9000-does-3d-and-has-a-video+previewing-touch-remote">like Samsung&#8217;s C9000</a> but in the mediocre software, un-features like Auto Motion (which makes beautiful films look like they were shot by a Jersey Shore cameraman with a beer in his other hand), and interfaces that just don&#8217;t do anything you would expect. Hello &#8212; you can detect when a cable is plugged in, don&#8217;t make me switch between 15 sources when only one is connected. My TV takes 5-10 seconds longer to turn on than my iPad. &#8220;Smart TVs&#8221; look like &#8220;smart phones&#8221; did in 2005 &#8212; completely lacking in imagination or joy.</p>
<p>But to really imagine the strategic importance of this you need to think beyond a super-sized Thunderbolt display and imagine what replaces iMac, one of Apple&#8217;s most beautiful creations. People&#8217;s need for a desktop is seriously declining for the first time since pundits started predicted the decline of the PC a decade ago. The post-PC ecosystem is in place now &#8212; touch, battery life, mobile-first applications, ubiquity of internet access, flash memory. (In Steve Jobs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0SVBCJqLs">introduction of the first iPod</a>, two things stand out to me: that terrible font, and the fact one of the main features is <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=48249">20 minutes</a> of <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2360"><em>skip protection</em></a>.) Mobile works and is getting better, and you won&#8217;t have what we call a desktop 10 years from now.</p>
<p>Now imagine Apple has a shining 55&#8243; monolith smack dab in the middle of your house. How big of a wifi antenna could they put in there? Could they crush all that lame Cisco teleconference stuff with TV FaceTime? Is there room for a few disk drives that don&#8217;t need to worry about skipping plus a SSD to make it fast? If you look at the direction Apple has been heading with <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2011/06/02/more-on-apples-airporttime-capsule-and-a-possible-refresh/">Time Capsule locally caching software updates</a> it&#8217;s not hard for something similar to work in the other direction, a digital hub that&#8217;s your media server for the house, a large-format display, a time capsule, and an Airplay target all in one. Imagine just one power cable coming out of it, and everything else <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ultrawideband/">wireless</a>, just like the iMac, and a few killer apps we can&#8217;t even imagine yet.</p>
<p>Finally, home theatre needs disruption &#8212; this is a land of <a href="http://www.monstercable.com/hdmi/hdmi.asp">$200 Monster HDMI cables</a> and similar gouging that functions like a state lottery, an intelligence tax. When I walk through Best Buy, which I try to do once every few months, it feels like it&#8217;s technology at its worst, the magic of progress used as smoke and mirrors to confuse and dupe consumers rather than make their lives better. The Apple TV is just another form factor for the unified experience Apple wants to create every time you touch an electronic device.</p>
<h3>5. Search</h3>
<p>There are hints of this in maps, but just like Craigslist is being killed not by a Craigslist-like clone but rather by <a href="http://matt.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/craigslist-disrupted.png">a thousand highly focused replacements</a>, so too <strong>Google will face its existential crisis</strong> not from another webpage with a centered white box, but from the interface and context of search changing completely. Many of Google&#8217;s searches aren&#8217;t that valuable, and a huge percentage of the ones that are aren&#8217;t going to happen at the desktop anymore .The context of your location (which your phone already knows) the &#8220;results page&#8221; of a fantastic map application and the input of a next-generation search interface, like Siri, completely changes the rules of engagement. Google&#8217;s not investing in mobile because they wanted a better phone.</p>
<h3>6. Cars</h3>
<p>This is the most far-out, but I think most certain. Voice-controlled search through Siri and Apple Maps provide the hands-free framework for a rich interactive experience while driving. Walk down the car stereo aisle in Best Buy and see what $800 gets you, or a $300 GPS from Garmin, vs an iPad or iPhone. The screens feel like a TI-92 calculator. The typography makes my eyes bleed. I find it morally reprehensible how bad these products are because it&#8217;s one of the areas of technology where a bad interface is most directly tied to injuries and deaths. Car folks are making <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2011/10/steve-jobs-impact-on-the-automobile.html">their iPhone/iPod integrations better and better</a>, which may be <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4AXaFlIFQA">a glass of ice water in hell</a>, but they&#8217;ll never make the jump to providing a beautiful marriage of media, search, and navigation that a great in-car experience needs. Right now you can spend 110k on a Tesla Roadster, a car of the future, and for an additional $4,500 (9 iPads!) get <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyaz3jpbU_Y">this Alpine head unit</a>. (Watch that video and try not to laugh at how bad the interface is.) Retail it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-INA-W900-Navigation-monitor-digital/dp/B003901QWE">only sets you back 1.4 iPads</a>. That&#8217;s just sad.</p>
<p>&#8220;People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.&#8221; &#8212; Alan Kay, 1982. People who make hardware should get their software act together before Apple does for them.</p>

There are quite a few visual changes that you should look out for and provide feedback on. Here are a couple things worth noting.</p>
<p><strong>New Feature Pop-ups</strong> &#8211; After WordPress 3.3 is installed, you&#8217;ll see popups that display information pointing users to new features. When testing, see if the popups close upon clicking the close button. Also see if the popups reappear multiple times. There has been an <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pointers-wont-go-away-in-ie?replies=2">issue with popups and IE7/8</a> with them not going away but Alex Mills is betting that those have been fixed as of <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18693">ticket #18693</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/featurepopups.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/featurepopups.png" alt="Feature Popups" title="featurepopups" width="338" height="166" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5592" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Admin Bar Revamp</strong> &#8211; The Admin bar now sports a darker color. The biggest changes to the admin bar reside within the rearrangement of menu items. Instead of the username and gravatar aligned to the left side of the bar, it&#8217;s now all the way on the right hand side. The search box has been moved to the right of the Add New menu link. Updates has been added as a top menu item. However, your website name now shows up on the far left side of the admin bar and this is where you&#8217;ll find all sorts of administrative tasks when you hover your mouse cursor over the link. The dashboard link as well as Appearance has been added to this menu item along with an assortment of other options. The drop down menus also look a lot like their Administration panel counterparts compared to the 3.2 version. Last but not least, on the left side of the admin bar, there is a small WordPress icon. This icon acts like the <strong>HELP</strong> button in typical software. From here, you can get information about the specific version of WordPress, Freedoms, Credits, links to WordPress.org, the support forums, documentation and giving feedback. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WP3point3AdminBar.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WP3point3AdminBar-500x287.png" alt="" title="WP3point3AdminBar" width="500" height="287" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5593" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Flyout Menus</strong> &#8211; All of the top level links within the left menu now have Flyouts where as previously, Flyouts only occurred when the menu was collapsed. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/flyoutmenus.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/flyoutmenus.png" alt="Flyout Menus" title="flyoutmenus" width="309" height="131" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5594" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Drag And Drop Uploading</strong> &#8211; I think users will be surprised the most by the new upload media screen. Thanks to something called <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18206">plUpload</a> which has been added to WordPress 3.3, we can now drag multiple files into the editor. This has also allowed the dependence on Flash within the uploader to disappear as support for HTML 5, Flash, and Silverlight are supported with plUpload. I&#8217;ve given it a try with 5 images and it worked great. Users who upload photo sets to WordPress are going to love this enhancement. </p>
<div id="attachment_5595" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/MultiFileMediaUploader.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/MultiFileMediaUploader-500x407.png" alt="Multiple file Uploader In WordPress 3.3" title="MultiFileMediaUploader" width="500" height="407" class="size-large wp-image-5595" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Uploading Multiple Files Or Images At Once Is Now Easier In WP 3.3</p></div>
<p><strong>One Media Button</strong> &#8211; In WordPress 3.2.1, there are 4 icons within the post editor that allow you to add some type of media to a post. Images, Audio, Video, and strangely enough, an icon named Media. In WordPress 3.3, all of those icons have been replaced by one icon labeled Media. From here, you simply drag whatever media files you have into the uploader. No more picking and choosing since the uploader is smart enough to distinguish between different media types. You can add your typical meta data after the media has been uploaded. </p>
<div id="attachment_5596" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/OneMediaIcon.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/OneMediaIcon.png" alt="WordPress 3.3. Media Icon" title="OneMediaIcon" width="165" height="47" class="size-full wp-image-5596" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">One Instead Of Four</p></div>
<p>WordPress 3.3. will have more to offer than what I have listed here but if you plan on beta testing the new version, you now have a couple things to play around with. If you come across something you think is broken or not working as you think it should, the best thing you can do is report it within the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">Alpha/Beta section</a> of the WordPress.org Support forums while being as descriptive as possible. </p>

If I had to describe this plugin in one sentence, I&#8217;d say it was a text widget on steroids.</p>
<p>There are quite a few things that make this plugin very cool to use. The first is that it uses a custom post type which means when you create a spot, you get access to the editor as if you were writing a post. You also get access to all the stuff that&#8217;s normally attached to a post with the exception of tags and categories. Because you get to use the normal editor, it&#8217;s very easy to add media to the spots that are created without using blocks of HTML as you normally would within a text widget. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/testspot.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/testspot-500x269.png" alt="Test SPot" title="testspot" width="500" height="269" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5587" /></a></p>
<p>After a spot is created, you can add it to any sidebar that&#8217;s built for widgets. However, you&#8217;re not limited to using spots in the sidebar only. In the Visual editor for writing posts, there is a Spots button which uses a shortcode to insert the spot into a post or page. </p>
<div id="attachment_5588" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/spotsshortcode.png" rel="thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/spotsshortcode-500x133.png" alt="Spots ShortCode" title="spotsshortcode" width="500" height="133" class="size-large wp-image-5588" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shortcode Button That Inserts The Spots Shortcode</p></div>
<p>Developers can also take advantage of this plugin by using the built in functions. For example, instead of hard coding text into a widget within the footer of a theme, you could turn it into a spot which would enable the end user to customize that spot with whatever they want from the administration panel, not having to touch any code. By doing it this way, theme developers could probably get rid of a couple theme options for text areas or default widget areas. </p>
<h2>Conclusion:</h2>
<p>Spots is an awesome plugin by the crew over at Interconnect/it. People have been wanting WYSIWYG functionality in text widgets since the day they were introduced into WordPress. This plugin does that and so much more. If you&#8217;re looking for a replacement for the default text widget in WordPress that provides more flexibility, definitely give <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spots/">Spots</a> a try. </p>

<p>Along with a few miscellaneous fixes, WordPress 3.3 adds a new media uploader, an improved admin bar, and fancy fly-out menus in the Dashboard.</p>
<p>Users of this first beta release are encouraged to <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">report any bugs</a> that they find and visit <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">the support forums</a> for help as necessary.</p>

<p>As always, this is software still in development and <strong>we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site</strong> — set up a test site just to play with the new version. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it.</p>
<p>If all goes well, we hope to release WordPress 3.3 by the end of November. The more help we get with testing and fixing bugs, the sooner we will be able to release the final version. If you want to be a beta tester, you should check out the Codex article on <a title="Reporting Bugs for WordPress" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">how to report bugs</a>.</p>
<p>Here’s some of what’s new:</p>
<ul>
<li>Media uploader</li>
<li>Improved admin bar</li>
<li>Fly out admin menus</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the <a title="Alpha/Beta Support Forum" href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta">alpha/beta forum</a>, you can email it to the <a title="WP-testers mailing list info page" href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">wp-testers list</a>, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the <a title="WordPress Core Trac" href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/">WordPress Core Trac</a>. (We recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)</p>
<p>Theme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.3 development cycle, <strong>please start now</strong> so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.</p>

<p>Schipulcon took place in Houston, Texas which is the hometown of Matt Mullenweg. While some expected the two founders to duke it out, according to some in the audience, it looked more like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromance_%28TV_series%29">bromance</a>.</p>

&#8220;If WordPress wins; Drupal wins. Because it means open source wins.&#8221; -@Dries #schipulcon &#8211; <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/thisisnotapril/status/122365382324535296">via</a></p>

Wordpress @photomatt&#8217;s Drupal developer profile is #5665, created 8 yrs ago. Profile lists &#8220;simplicity&#8221; as an interest. #schipulcon &#8211; <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/qcait/status/122364451402952704">via</a></p>
<p>I for one am seriously looking forward to watching the video of this session once it&#8217;s released.</p>

With that number growing dramatically every release, hundreds (if not thousands) of new users are being introduced to WordPress every day.</p>
<p>I started using WordPress with <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/2004/05/heres-the-beef/">1.2</a>, just two days before <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/2004/10/wp-121/">1.2.1</a> was released, on <a href="http://macmanx.com/">MacManX.com</a>. Of course, I moved that over to <a href="http://wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a> not too long ago, but I still have several other self-hosted blogs running on <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/2011/07/wordpress-3-2-1/">3.2.1</a>. I think it&#8217;s safe to say that without WordPress 1.2, I wouldn&#8217;t be here today.</p>
<p>What was the very first version of WordPress that you ever used? We&#8217;d love to know! And, of course, WordPress.com counts too.</p>
