Google Translate really is amazing. I’m sitting here at WordCamp Spain and I’m using it to understand as much as I can So far I’m following ok.  Quite a fun conference!

Just a quick note to say that I’m heading to Barcelona today for WordCamp Spain on Saturday! It’s gonna be awesome and I will post my slides and experiences here afterwards. I’ll be presenting on WooTumblog and Post Formats, as well as the Express for WordPress iPhone app.  Check out the title link for more details (you might wanna do it through Google Translate for english).

For those who follow WooThemes, you will no doubt have seen our Tumblog Themes such as Cinch and Crisp, and will know that they give you similar functionality to a tumblr style blog from within WordPress. So if you didn’t buy one of our tumblog themes you wouldn’t be able to have that functionality, but now you can for FREE! In addition to this, you can buy the Express for WordPress iPhone app and publish content to your Tumblog enabled WordPress blog right from your iPhone!! See the official announcement page here: http://www.woothemes.com/2010/10/tumbling-along/

I’ve been doing some modifications to the default WordPress Twenty Ten theme and I needed a custom taxonomy page template for my taxonomy archives – taxonomy.php – to take advantage of the WordPress template hierarchy. So I made a generic one for the Twenty Ten theme seeing as it doesn’t come with one.  So now your custom taxonomy archive pages don’t have to say “Blog Archives”, instead with this it will output the Taxonomy as well as the Term, similar to the Category archive page. Simply download the file below, extract it, and put taxonomy.php in the root of your Twenty Ten theme!

Just saw this from the guys at wpmu.org – Membership Lite. It’s a membership plugin much like others (Wishlist Member, Magic Members), but this one seems to be free and actually looks really good! Plus it’s in the WordPress repository. I’m gonna give it a try for sure and will post my thoughts when I’m done. Anyone else used it?

Grab it here now.

I recently got interviewed by Dan Milward for GetShopped.org as part of their 12 Awesome Examples of Custom Post Types article, in particular the innovative ways we’ve implemented them at WooThemes. I gave him the low down on what we did with Estate and the Tumblog themes.  There’s some really interesting examples in the article, check it out.  Thanks Dan!
