Last year over 350 WordPressers of all ages and experience levels gathered in San Francisco to share a day together. We’re now halfway through 2007, and there is a new WordCamp happening on July 21 and 22 that I hope many of you can make it to.

This year we’re expanding the conference to two days instead of one with the first focusing on user and blog-facing topics, like search engine optimization and podcasting, and the second day will focus on more development topics, such as usability, iterative design, and the future of publishing. Speakers this year include several WordPress developers, Matt Cutts, John Dvorak, Robert Hoekman Jr., Dan Kuykendall, Om Malik, Rashmi Sinha, Lorelle Vanfossen, and Dave Winer. Check out the entire schedule.

Just like last year there will be free lunch (with the legendary BBQ on Sunday) and t-shirts for everybody, and a party on Saturday night. Unlike last year we’re asking for $25 to help cover costs, but if that’s a problem there are scholarships available. Registration will be closing July 9th and there will not be tickets at the door, so get yours soon.

WordPress 2.2.1 is now available. 2.2.1 is a bug fix release for the 2.2 series. Since 2.2 was released a month ago, the WordPress community has been improving fit-and-finish by identifying and fixing those little bugs that can be so annoying and by fine-tuning some small details. The result is a nicely polished 2.2.1 release. The full list of bugs fixed in 2.2.1 is available here. Here are some highlights.

Atom feed validation fixes (#4274, #4307, #4381, #4382)
XML-RPC fixes (#4314, #4329, #4315, #4469)
Widget backward compatibility fixes (#4275)
Widget layout fixes for IE7 (#4264, #4268)
Page and Text Widget improvements (#4302, #4259)

Unfortunately, 2.2.1 is not just a bug fix release. Some security issues came to light during 2.2.1 development, making 2.2.1 a required upgrade. 2.2.1 addresses the following vulnerabilities:

Remote shell injection in PHPMailer
Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC Discovered by Alexander Concha.
Unescaped attribute in default theme

Special thanks to Alexander Concha for his continued assistance in making WordPress more secure. Special thanks also to Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater Software for his improvements to our XML-RPC implementation.

Atom feed validation fixes (#4274, #4307, #4381, #4382)
XML-RPC fixes (#4314, #4329, #4315, #4469)
Widget backward compatibility fixes (#4275)
Widget layout fixes for IE7 (#4264, #4268)
Page and Text Widget improvements (#4302, #4259)

Unfortunately, 2.2.1 is not just a bug fix release. Some security issues came to light during 2.2.1 development, making 2.2.1 a required upgrade. 2.2.1 addresses the following vulnerabilities:

Remote shell injection in PHPMailer
Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC Discovered by Alexander Concha.
Unescaped attribute in default theme

There are two contests going on in the WordPress community right now. If you’d like a chance to flex your WordPress skillz and perhaps win a prize and lifelong fame, you should consider dropping your code in the hat.

The first is the Sandbox Designs competition, which is like a theme competition, but working only with CSS and the highly semantic Sandbox theme. They already have a thousand dollars in prizes, so check it out.

Second our friends at Weblog Tools Collection are running a WordPress Plugin competition. They have a blog to track all the entries, but if you’re participating don’t forget to submit your code to the Plugin directory.

Both competitions require entries to be under the same GPL license that WordPress is, so regardless of who wins they’ll make the entire community much richer. (Remember, WordPress itself was written on the base of existing GPL code!)

On behalf of the entire WordPress team, I’m proud and excited to announce the immediate availability of version 2.2 “Getz” for download. This version includes a number of new features, most notably Widgets integration, and over two hundred bug fixes. It’s named in honor of tenor saxophonist Stan Getz.

Goodies:

WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

In addition there were also dozens of UI and accessibility improvements, ranging from more concise wording around options and links to things like a view and preview link above the content box when you’re editing a post or page, as well as several important security fixes. We don’t plan to continue to support the 2.1 branch, so this is a required upgrade.

Developer Features:

We also improved a great deal under the hood that hopefully you’ll never notice, but if you’re a developer for the WP platform it provides a lot to sink your teeth into. Here is a sampling:

A new set of WordPress-specific XML-RPC APIs that allow for editing pages, setting categories, and much more.
We now use jQuery for a number of internal functions, and hope to transition all of our JS to use it. (We still need volunteers for this.)
Comment feeds now support multiple formats, including Atom.
Our internal mail functions now use phpMailer, which allows for things like SMTP support.
You can now set database collation and character set in your config file.
You can also hardcode your site and WP URL in the config file, overriding the values in the DB.
Finally we’ve increased the inline documentation of a number of functions inside of WP, which should help you navigate those parts of the code.

If you’d like an in-depth look at everything that changed, here is a list of all 244 closed tickets in our bug tracker and you can use this link to see what files and lines of code changed. (It was a lot!)

New Development Cycle

Most interesting about this release is that is our first under the new, experimental development cycle that we first talked about when we released version 2.1 fewer than 4 months ago. We delayed a few weeks from our target date in April, but ended up under our original goal of a 4 month major release cycle. My thanks and congratulations to the entire WordPress community for pulling together and making that happen. It wasn’t without its bumps, but the things we learned along the way will make our next release in September even better. You can now look forward to a fast but stable schedule of new features and goodies several times a year from WordPress.

Around the Community

There were 1.4 million downloads of WordPress 2.1 in the four months it was available.

I wrote a post that covers some of the media that WP has been getting lately and its history.

We’ve expanded WordPress.org quite a bit, most notably the very active plugins directory and the ideas forum.

Come meet other WordPress users and developers at WordCamp, which is going to be taking place July 21-22 in San Francisco.

Don’t forget to check out WordPress’ cousins MU and bbPress, both of which have been seeing some pretty cool development lately.

Help Out

The most valuable thing you can give back to WordPress is your time — the time to help a friend discover the joy of blogging, the time to help a stranger (a friend you haven’t met yet) on the support forums, or the time to help make WordPress a better product.

We have a security update release now available for both the 2.1 and 2.0 branches of WordPress now available for immediate download. This update is highly recommend for all users of both branches.

These releases include fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems. Many thanks to Sumit Siddharth and Alex Concha for their help with reporting issues in this release.

As an update to the systems issue we had last month, we have taken dozens of additional precautions with the servers and systems that run WordPress.org and they appear to be working well, despite hundreds of hack attempts after we publicly disclosed there had been a problem. We are also now aggressively monitoring all downloads for any changes or modifications, and we are confident the same type of problem won’t happen again.

One of the greatest things about WordPress has always been the amazing number of high-quality plugins available for the platform. I believe that there aren’t any more “killer features” in software, there are 10,000 killer features and everyone has a different 20. If we tried to put everything into WordPress the result would be, for lack of a better term, bloated. However through our robust plugin API people have used WordPress as a platform for building almost anything you can imagine leveraging the huge WP userbase and scalable core codebase.

That’s all fine and dandy, but having all these plugins isn’t that useful if you’ve got no place to find them. Even though we have provided development hosting at wp-plugins.org for years, we hadn’t had a user interface to the plugins hosted there, which I think was a travesty.

No longer! Our ever-expanding “extend” section now has a brand-spanking new plugins directory where you can browse, download, rate, and comment on all your favorite plugins. I highly encourage you to go check it out.

For users, this means:

There is now a central place to find and download WordPress plugins.
You can get a much better idea about plugin quality and compatibility from the site.
In the future you’ll be able to get notification inside of WordPress about plugins you use that have updates.

For developers, you now have:

Exposure to the millions of people who visit WordPress.org every month.
Free SVN hosting for GPL plugin development at wp-plugins.org. (Like always.)
Automatic download packages and free hosting of those.
Statistics about how many people are using and downloading your plugins.
Prominent links to your homepage, and the ability to specify a Paypal donation link from your plugin page.

As a developer all you need to do to start taking advantage of the new plugin pages is to include a properly formatted readme.txt file along with your plugin.

Props to Michael Adams, Mark Jaquith, and Matt Thomas for making this dream a reality. We hope you all enjoy it and if you have any feedback blog it and link back to this entry so we get the pingback. Happy downloading!

Every year South by Southwest, or SxSW, is a very unique and affordable confluence of some of the most influential minds on the web gathering in the state where I grew up, Texas. It’s actually the first tech conference I ever went to, four years ago, and where I got my start down the path that has led me to where I am today.

Another movement close to my heart, Barcamp, is in full effect here in Austin. Saturday March 10 at 6 PM we’re going to do a WordPress meetup at the Barcamp venue Bourbon Rocks on 6th Street. Unlike many other SxSW parties, it is completely open to the public and doesn’t require a conference badge. There will be food and drinks available, and a live band after we wrap up the meetup.

So come enjoy part of your SxSW evening in this beautiful Austin weather with fellow WordPressers. In addition to the good company, we’ll have an assortment of cool WordPress stickers free for the taking.

WordPress got the most votes. I was interested to see the Drupal CMS platform placing high in this category–above the consumer-oriented publishing products Typepad and Vox. Even combined, these two Six Apart services didn’t come close to winning the same number of votes as Drupal.

Glad to see our open-source brother-by-another-mother representing. The rankings in Publishing were WordPress, Adobe Flash, Drupal, Blogger, and Google Analytics as the top 5.

Goodies:

WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

Developer Features:

We also improved a great deal under the hood that hopefully you’ll never notice, but if you’re a developer for the WP platform it provides a lot to sink your teeth into. Here is a sampling:

A new set of WordPress-specific XML-RPC APIs that allow for editing pages, setting categories, and much more.
We now use jQuery for a number of internal functions, and hope to transition all of our JS to use it. (We still need volunteers for this.)
Comment feeds now support multiple formats, including Atom.
Our internal mail functions now use phpMailer, which allows for things like SMTP support.
You can now set database collation and character set in your config file.
You can also hardcode your site and WP URL in the config file, overriding the values in the DB.
Finally we’ve increased the inline documentation of a number of functions inside of WP, which should help you navigate those parts of the code.

New Development Cycle

Around the Community

There were 1.4 million downloads of WordPress 2.1 in the four months it was available.

I wrote a post that covers some of the media that WP has been getting lately and its history.

We’ve expanded WordPress.org quite a bit, most notably the very active plugins directory and the ideas forum.

Come meet other WordPress users and developers at WordCamp, which is going to be taking place July 21-22 in San Francisco.

Don’t forget to check out WordPress’ cousins MU and bbPress, both of which have been seeing some pretty cool development lately.

$\"Lorelle$ I thought I had all my arrangements set for WordCamp next week but things are now a bit of a mess logistically. I’m looking for a parking spot or semi-level driveway in the San Francisco area (as close to downtown as possible) from about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week through Tuesday of the following week.

I am driving a 21 foot Class C motor home, the equivalent of a small truck and camper, and can fit within a slightly longer parking space than a “normal American car”.

In a perfect world, access to electricity and a shower would be wonderful but I’m traveling fairly self-contained. I have a friend to stay with if I can’t stay in the motor home, so just a parking spot would be fine if my perfect world isn’t met.

I’ll be hitting the road Saturday, so this is an emergency plea for help. Email me at lorelleonwordpress@gmail.com or call me at 918-812-0236.

Anyone interested in having Lorelle in their driveway next week? $\":D\"$

Feedburner announced today that they are now offering FeedBurner Integration for Blogspot Blogs but what they failed to mention was that now you can redirect the feed of your BlogSpot blog to any other URI. That should make a move from Blogger to Wordpress (or any other blogging tool) completely transparent to your feed consumers. You could also insulate against or prepare for a future migration and move your feed over to another source. Thanks to Digital Inspiration for the tip.

$\"WordPress$ Matt Mullenweg has made the WordPress policy on sponsored WordPress Themes official:

Before WordCamp all sponsored themes should be removed from http://themes.wordpress.net.

He’s not alone. Mark Ghosh on Weblog Tools Collection declared that he would no longer feature sponsored WordPress Themes on Weblog Tools Collection, one of the most important sources for news on new WordPress Themes.

In theory, this means that all WordPress Themes listed on the WordPress Theme Viewer, the official source for WordPress Themes, and those in the Codex WordPress Theme List which contain sponsored links, will be removed by July 21, 2007, unless their authors remove them first.

Commen Highlighter is a plugin which can be used to add different style classes to comments. There are already plugins/hacks/alterations that adds a style to all comments written by the blog owner, adds a different style to every other comment, etc. This plugin takes it a bit further.

Feed Footer allows you to add footers under all your blog posts in your RSS feed.

Gossamer Threads Tag Cloud allows you to create tags for your posts and display them in a cloud on the sidebar. Tags with more hits are displayed in a bigger font to express popularity or emphasis. Tags can also be displayed underneath the post entry.

ipeRSS allows you to add your images from ipernity directly to your Blog (as a site, in an article, in th esidebar, etc.). If you want to add the images as a site or in an article you need something similar to Exec-PHP or runPHP.

Power to the People, examines using an appeal to the masses to justify mediocrity. You could turn this article into a technology Madlib, substituting big tech companies, web 2.0 products, and “users” for the various entertainment terms.

Spam is growing.

From 0 to 1,000,000: 70 days

From 1,000,000 to 100,000,000: 190 days

100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000: 257 days

1 billion to 2 billion: 108 days

It’s funny how fast that last billion went. To celebrate we made a new chart showing total spam blocked over time.

We will not promote sponsored themes on WeblogToolsCollection any more. There are a bunch of reasons for this decision much of which has been rehashed in the past. Things have gone downhill since then. I cannot hope to please everyone and I do not apologize or repent for this decision. I believe that this is in the best interest of the community and this is the best way I can serve my readers.

I strongly urge sponsored theme authors to reconsider their means and I laud those who choose to offer their themes to the community without sponsored links.

Six Apart & Automattic Compared: A comparison of two of the three blogging juggernauts on the web. Though the comparison is mildly interesting from a historical novice’s point of view, I think the article is missing a few things. Since it was written by a business professor, I would have expected more analysis and forecasts rather than a rehashing of the past events in a company history narrative. Furthermore, a story of MT and WP does not make sense without Blogger and it should have been included.

There are very interesting business model and structure type details of all three companies that I believe are instrumental in their success in each of their arenas and the underlying competitive tension amalgamated with a deep sense of respect and jealousy among each of the competitors would have made for very interesting business reading. In spite of my perceived shortcomings, Carthik is mentioned in the article (which made my day) and it is worth a quick read if you are new to either company.
