I mentioned this on twitter, but I wanted to get it out here too...if you use TextMate to do your theme development, would you use a bundle that contains a variety of functions for your functions.php file?

Ok, first things first. I've upgraded to Wordpress 2.7...have you?

For the most part, my plugins still work work without need for an upgrade, with the exception of my CMS plugin. It needs some adjustment to account for the new menu system in 2.7. It'll still work as intended, it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the new menu design.

I finally found a few minutes to put the finishing touches on an open-source theme conversion I've been working on for a while. I have posted the theme for download here. Take a look, and let me know what you think.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have bumped everyone's favorite tag cloud plugin for Wordpress 2.3+ to version 4.5. What's new?

As always, you can see the full changelog, get the new version, and leave comments from the CTC page.

Just a quick note to release my newest Wordpress-related download, a bundle for the excellent OS X text editor TextMate for doing Wordpress development. The bundle includes template for common WP theme files, updated snippets for newer versions of WP, and various other time-savers. Head over to the Bundle page to check it out and download it.

After switching my hosting and theme earlier this month, I decided to update and release my original blog theme to the general public. Head on over to the Reciprocity Wordpress Theme page to take a peek and download the theme.
