It is still before midnight as I am getting this up, so I stuck to my own internal promise of getting this episode out within a week. I would love to continue to produce new episodes weekly, but I won’t promise that just yet.

This week I talk about WordPress 2.6, it is finally here and does it bring anything good to the table? I also talk about issues with WordPress 2.6, mention the theme of the week, and talk about the WordPress Weekly podcast. Stick around until the end for what might be a cool podcasting related announcement.

Download WordPress in Review: Episode Two

WordPress 2.6 has been released and there is a cool video to learn more about the new features.

PodPress doesn’t work with WordPress 2.6 and there is no mention on when it will.

WordPress theme of the week: Tarski

WordPress Weekly interviews Alex King, as its final episode

This weeks episode doesn’t have any links in the show notes because the topic is something simple, and something I don’t think has really been covered very often in the blogosphere, especially in the professional blogging scene, and that is making sure you fully understand the roles and responsibilities in your job, and to never accept a gentleman’s handshake, or rather, anything less than a basic contract.

If I sound a little solemn in this episode, it is because I have some stuff going on in my life right now, but I hope you will all enjoy the content.

Check back next week for another blogging related tip.

Sorry for the one day delay in getting this episode out. I had the worst day in a long time yesterday, and wasn’t really in the podcasting mood. Tomorrow is another episode of WordPress in Review, so check out that tomorrow. Also, if you are interested in hearing more podcasting on this blog, please let me know as I would love to focus on bringing more audio content to this blog.

In this episode, I cover all of the latest WordPress news and developments, including the new WordPress for iPhone application, the re-launch of the WordPress theme directory, and as usual the WordPress theme of the week.

Download Episode Three

You can now blog from your iPhone to WordPress, if you can afford an iPhone…

It’s back! There is now an official WordPress theme repository once again. It has been long coming, and seems to work rather well, but there is limited choice right now in what you will find.

WordPress 2.6 is still giving me issues, specifically with PodPress, but I also noticed that the new features in WordPress 2.6 don’t really do anything for me, except for one.

Theme of the week: InSense

WordCamp Toronto is coming up on October 4th and 5th, and there will be more than one special guest speaker attending.

I have decided to bring back my podcasting, and the first show I wanted to create is sort of the direction I was heading with the original XFEP Podcast, with shorter episodes that are blogging related tips, tricks and advice.

This first episode covers Social Media Promotion buttons like the share button I have on each and every one of my posts.

Trying to build a site with xhtml and css, but need more advanced features than you can program yourself? Want to use a content management system, but they are all too complex?

Why aren’t you using WordPress?

My tip of the week is to have everyone try WordPress. Even if you have used it in the past.

So I have decided to do a little bit of WordPress podcasting of my own, and so coming to you weekly will be WordPress in Review. WordPress in Review will be a relatively short podcast giving you quick updates on the latest WordPress news, information, themes, and a dash of my own personal opinion.

I was well known for being the “negative” one on the WordPress Podcast, and I can assure you that I won’t always be like that, but it is in my nature to point out things that I think are wrong, and so I hope you will all enjoy the WordPress in Review Podcast.

Kudos to two great podcasts that I have been fortunate to be on

WordPress Turbo

Another Beta for WordPress 2.6

WordPress theme of the week: Natural Power

WordPress Storage and the Google Summer of Code
