    I've just read the article How did WordPress win? (http://www NULL.majordojo NULL.com/2011/02/how-did-wordpress-win NULL.php), which talks about how Wordpress took MovableType's public.

     

    It's very interesting, and I decided to comment about Wordpress pros and cons. Here's a copy of what I said:

    information

    Krumo is a debugging software equivalent to print_r() and var_dump(), with the advantage of collapsing array and object values so that it takes less space and let us see only what we really need from complex data.

     

    Hikari Krumo ports it to a Wordpress plugin, so that Krumo becomes easily available in any Wordpress page. Original Krumo has a few bugs fixed and has its options available in an admin page instead of requiring krumo.ini file edited directly.

     

    Main variable expanded, showing all object's fields

     

     

    Features

     

    • The simplicity of print_r() with the details of var_dump()
    • Show any data, including its data type
    • For arrays and objects, internal data are collapsed, so that it takes less space and you can expand to see only those values you really wanna see, spending much less space
    • Works anywhere in Wordpress, backend and frontend
    • Hide it from visitors and only those who really need to see dump be able to see it
    • Automatically shows PHP file and line where dump happened, a great tool for debugging

    Always use prefix on your code!

    Many people when start developing plugins and themes to Wordpress don't notice the consequences of writing messy codes until it is too late.

     

    I decided to decicate a whole post to this prefix matter because I know I will come back to it always when possible, and it will be easier to have a post to link instead of repeating myself.

     

    Using a prefix means that, for each plugin or theme we create, we choose a small string that describes this piece of code, and in every function/class, and even hook tags, we add this string before its name.

    It may seem boring to those people that still don't understand why this is important, but I'll explain.

    Wordpress TagCloud

    Wordpress TagCloud

    If you have any kind of website, and this website has some articles/posts, you probably has a tag cloud on it. If you have this kind of website and doesn't have a tag cloud, you should.

     

    In this article I'm gonna introduce you to tags and tag clouds, show how Wordpress's default Tag Cloud's markup is and talk about Simple Tags, a Wordpress plugin that enhances its tags management UI and also generates its own enhanced Tag Cloud.

     

    After that I'm gonna talk a bit about Semantic and Accessibility, show how these tag clouds are ugly in Semantic and Accessibility point of view, and show how we can improve Simple Tags's Tag Cloud using its almost overlooked core configs.

    Recently I've made a post that had become really large. While I was still preparing it, I was faced with a damn situation: when it was published it was showing an empty page!

    Header, sidebars, footer, post title, comment area... they were all there, but the post itself was gone. How was that possible?
