WordPress NYCOn Tuesday February 17 2015 the WordPressNYC meetup hosted George Staphanis, team lead for the Jetpack development team, for an overview of the popular WordPress plugin package – Come Fly With Me: Jetpack and the WordPress.com Cloud. George ran through functionality Jetpack makes available and how it can help you grow and retain your audience, improve page load times, and simplify site administration — while also making it more secure and reliable. including some relatively little known features such as Photon – a free service that caches images in wordpress.com’s CDN. Video is below.

On September 14 2013, Jordan Quinlan presented a talk – WordPress Accessibility – Building Websites That Everyone Can Use – at WordCamp Buffalo. Jordan’s talk graduated from the general – why accessibility is important, current trends and strategies, to the specific – WordPress plugins and techniques that make WordPress websites “way more accessible” to the physically disabled. He concludes with some pointers for developers. Video is below.

On his recent visit to NYC Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic and WordPress, talks at SVA about the universals he’s learned in starting WordPress:

“A universal I’ve found is that the more I’ve given away, the more I’ve gotten back.”

Templatic.com has released a new theme based on P2 called GTD. GTD is meant for private use for collaborative teams of people. Asides from the default functionality supplied by P2, GTD has added file attachment and user notification functions.

More about P2..

Here is a video introduction:

  • a really good feature is that rss feeds can be generated off any element: authors. tags, etc
  • There is a Chinese translation of P2 here

What’s more exciting is that when version 2.0 comes out (it’s waiting for WordPress 2.9) there will be a number of improvements:

  • it will be made a ‘parent theme’ this means it will be easy to make custom child themes that will not break when the parent is updated

*easily post different types of media content

*settings for standard posts, single images and galleries, as well as links and quotes.
