<p>We try to keep abreast with both plugin and theme releases. The first place that we look for releases is the <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/">WLTC News Forum</a> and in this post I&#8217;ll try to cover some of the points that you should keep in mind to facilitate your listing.</p>
<h4>1. Post in the appropriate category</h4>
<p>The forum has been divided into several categories for different content. The two primary categories that you should be looking at are the <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/new-wordpress-plugins">New Wordpress Plugins</a> category and the <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/new-wordpress-themes">New Wordpress Themes</a> category for plugins and themes respectively. We also have a <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/forum/premium-wordpress-themes">Premium WordPress Themes</a> category for those themes which require payment to use.</p>
<h4>2. Writing your post</h4>
<p>This is the most important part of the process. Remember that the key to attracting a user to visit your plugin or theme page is a good detailed description. I, for one, would like to gather as much information about the plugin or theme from the post. Browsing to your site and then making a search for the right post / page is a big big no no!</p>
<p>Plugin Authors should ensure the following is present in the post.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Plugin Name</strong>: short forms are OK, however the full form of the name is ideal</li>
<li><strong>Plugin URL</strong>: This should be the direct url to the plugin page and not your site. Ideally keep a separate page for each plugin. It provides for a single interface to interact with users, as well helps in SEO.</li>
<li><strong>Description</strong>: Let me iterate; provide a detailed description. Mention what exactly your plugin does. Elaborate on some of the features that the plugin has. Ask for suggestions. State what plans you have for the future of the plugin. Optionally, add information on installing and using the plugin. This information should also be present on the plugin page on your site.</li>
<li><strong>License</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Theme Authors should ensure the following is present in the post.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Theme Name</strong>: same rule to follow as that of plugin authors above</li>
<li><strong>Theme URL</strong>: Once again, link to the url of the theme page. Putting several themes on a single page only serves as a distraction to a person looking for that specific theme.</li>
<li><strong>Description</strong>: A detailed description for the theme should come here. Mention if your theme is widget ready, or if supports gravatars. Does it have an options page? Is it a one, two or three column theme? What colors is it available in? Is the header customizable?</li>
<li><strong>Demo URL</strong>: Every theme should have a demo for a user to see what their site will look like. It is a pain to download and install a theme to check if it looks good, only to find that this is not the case.</li>
<li><strong>Screenshot</strong>: This is optional but again highly recommended. A screenshot is the first view that a potential user sees.</li>
<li><strong>License</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The points I have made above are not just pertaining to our News forum. In fact this should something that you should follow strictly whenever you are looking to get listed at any site announcing releases.</p>
<h4>3. Other methods to inform us about your release</h4>
<p>The News forum is the preferred method to bring your creation to our attention. Not only does it bring your theme / plugin to our attention but it also ensures that you reach out to our regular readers even before our daily release posts.</p>
<p>You could also use the <a href="http://weblogtoolscollection.com/contact-me/">contact form</a> to inform us about the release. However, this is a much slower method to get listed. Remember to provide as many details as you would if you were to make a post in the News forum. Also, change the Subject line to <em>Plugin Release: your theme/plugin name</em>.</p>

Since then most theme authors have been distributing their themes from their own sites, without a good centralized place for people to browse, search, comment on, and rate themes.  With the success of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">plugins directory</a>, we&#8217;ve wanted to have those same benefits in a theme directory.  Today is the day we start making that happen, with the introduction of <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">wordpress.org/extend/themes/</a>.</p>
<p>Bringing the new theme directory under the WordPress &#8220;<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/">extend</a>&#8221; umbrella allowed us to take advantage of all the infrastructure that has already been built up to support WordPress.org.  If you&#8217;ve browsed through the plugin directory, you&#8217;ll feel right at home in the new theme directory.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve gone through great lengths to make this as painless as possible for theme authors.  You don&#8217;t need to know anything about Subversion (our back end magic takes care of all that for you), just login with your WordPress.org username and password and go to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/">upload page</a>.  From there you upload your regular theme zip file and we take care of the rest.</p>

Since then most theme authors have been distributing their themes from their own sites, without a good centralized place for people to browse, search, comment on, and rate themes.  With the success of the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">plugins directory</a>, we&#8217;ve wanted to have those same benefits in a theme directory.  Today is the day we start making that happen, with the introduction of <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">wordpress.org/extend/themes/</a>.</p>
<p>Bringing the new theme directory under the WordPress &#8220;<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/">extend</a>&#8221; umbrella allowed us to take advantage of all the infrastructure that has already been built up to support WordPress.org.  If you&#8217;ve browsed through the plugin directory, you&#8217;ll feel right at home in the new theme directory.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve gone through great lengths to make this as painless as possible for theme authors.  You don&#8217;t need to know anything about Subversion (our back end magic takes care of all that for you), just login with your WordPress.org username and password and go to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/">upload page</a>.  From there you upload your regular theme zip file and we take care of the rest.</p>

</pre>
<p>Here&#8217;s a more textual overview of what&#8217;s hawt in 2.6:</p>
<h3>Post Revisions: Wiki-like tracking of edits</h3>
<p>With the power of modern computers, it&#8217;s silly that we still use save and editing metaphors from the time when the most common method of storage was floppy disks. WordPress has always respected the importance of your writing with auto-save, and now we&#8217;re taking that to another level by allowing you to view who made what changes when to any post or page through a super-easy interface, much like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&#038;action=history">Wikipedia</a> or a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Subversion">version control system</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/diff.gif" alt="Differences between two versions of posts." class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3" /></p>
<p>This is handy on any blog in case you make a mistake and want to go back to an older version of a post, and it&#8217;s super handy for multi-author blogs where you can see every change tracked by person.</p>
<h3>Press This!: Post from wherever you are on the web</h3>
<p>A few months ago on my blog we <a href="http://ma.tt/2008/05/favorite-posting-bookmarklet/">started a conversation about the posting bookmarklet</a> in WordPress and which systems we should look to for inspiration, like Flock, FriendFeed, Facebook, Tumblr, and Delicious. From these suggestions and the Quick Post plugin by Josh Kenzer, we developed a Press This bookmark you can add to your toolbar that provides a fast and smart popup to do posts to your WordPress blog:</p>
<p><img src="http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/press-this.gif" alt="Screenshot of Press This interface." title="press-this" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4" /></p>
<p>For example, if you click &#8220;Press This&#8221; from a <a href="http://youtube.com/">Youtube</a> page it&#8217;ll magically extract the video embed code, and if you do it from a <a href="http://flickr.com/">Flickr</a> page it&#8217;ll make it easy for you to put the image in your post. On my blog I&#8217;ve been experimenting with using different categories and the <code>in_category()</code> function &#8212; such as video, quote, aside, et cetera &#8212; to create a more tumblelog-like format.</p>
<h3>Shift Gears: Turbo-speed your blogging</h3>
<p><a href="http://gears.google.com/">Gears</a> is an open source browser extension project started by Google that developers like us can use to give you features we wouldn&#8217;t normally be able to. There are a lot of things we can do with Gears in the future, but in this release we&#8217;ve stuck to using what&#8217;s called a &#8220;Local Server&#8221; to cache or keep a copy of commonly-used Javascript and CSS files on your computer, which can speed up the loading of some pages by several seconds (they just pop right up!). You can install Gears for Firefox or Internet Explorer, with support for Safari and Opera pending. WordPress works just fine without it, you just get a little extra juice when you have it installed.</p>
<h3>Theme Previews: See it before your audience does</h3>
<p>Now when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the theme live with all your content, instead of immediately making it active on your site. This is great for just test driving themes before making a switch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing a theme and need to test it but don&#8217;t want everybody to see your ongoing <del datetime="2008-07-14T21:23:41+00:00">mistakes</del> development.</p>
<p>Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Word count!</strong> Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.</li>
<li><strong>Image captions</strong>, so you can add sweet captions <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/">like Political Ticker does</a> under your images.</li>
<li><strong>Bulk management</strong> of plugins.</li>
<li>A completely <strong>revamped image control</strong> to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It&#8217;s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.</li>
<li>Drag-and-drop <strong>reordering of Galleries</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Plugin update</strong> notification bubble.</li>
<li>Customizable default avatars.</li>
<li>You can now upload media when in full-screen mode.</li>
<li>Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default, but you can turn it on easily through the options screen.</li>
<li>Full <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer">SSL support</a> in the core, and the ability to <strong>force SSL</strong> for security.</li>
<li>You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.</li>
<li>Ability to move your <code>wp-config</code> file and <code>wp-content</code> directories to a custom location, for &#8220;clean&#8221; SVN checkouts.</li>
<li>Select a range of checkboxes with &#8220;shift-click.&#8221;</li>
<li>You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.</li>
<li>A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions.</li>
<li>Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI.</li>
<li>Version 2.6 <a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&#038;milestone=2.6">fixes approximately 194 bugs</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer Notes</h3>
<p>WordPress.org had over 75 people contributing code to WordPress 2.6. In addition to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/">core commit team</a> we had contributions from <a href="http://dd32.id.au/">Dion Hulse</a>, <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/">Austin Matzko</a>, <a href="http://ottodestruct.com/blog/">Otto42</a>, <a href="http://extralogical.net/">Benedict Eastaugh</a>, and <a href="http://www.freecharity.org.uk/">pishmishy</a>. <a href="http://xavisys.com/">AaronCampbell</a> and <a href="http://www.marcozehe.de/">Marco Zehe</a> provided more than a few patches. Back among the top code contributors is <a href="http://www.santosj.name/">Jacob Santos</a>. <a href="http://www.buayacorp.com/">Alex Concha</a> continues to have WordPress&#8217; back.

I&#8217;m also proud to announce we&#8217;re adding a new core committer to the team: Andrew Ozz (azaozz) has been a huge help to the core team this year, particularly around TinyMCE and making the WYSIWYG something that works for you, not against you.</p>
<p>Because of the new capabilities to make WordPress a clean SVN checkout, plugin and theme authors should do their best to handle forms and posts through WP rather than trying to post to their files directly, here&#8217;s a quick Codex article about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests">how to do it using our forward-compatible APIs</a>.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5 from a plugin and theme compatibility point of view, so upgrades from 2.5 should be pretty painless. The 2.5 branch will no longer be maintain so everyone is encouraged to upgrade. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">Our standard 3-step upgrade instructions apply to this release</a>. There were at least 1,984,047 downloads of the 2.5 series, the fastest growing release we&#8217;ve ever had, and I think all of those people will find 2.6 adds a level of polish that really makes WP a pleasure to use every day. (At least I do. :))</p>
<h3>Easter Egg</h3>
<p>There have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called &#8220;easter egg&#8221; added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors and allegations are completely false!</p>

<p>P.S. If you&#8217;re a fan of WordPress, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/WordPress/6427302910">consider joining our fan page on Facebook</a>.</p>";}i:25;a:7:{s:5:"title";s:44:"Ryan Boren: SSL and Cookies in WordPress 2.6";s:4:"guid";s:23:"http://boren.nu/?p=1579";s:4:"link";s:68:"http://boren.nu/archives/2008/07/14/ssl-and-cookies-in-wordpress-26/";s:11:"description";s:5958:"<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> 2.6 includes better support for visiting the admin over <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer">SSL</a>. Part of this support involves making sure authorization cookies are delivered only over SSL-encrypted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https">HTTPS</a> sessions.  To accommodate this while still allowing the option of visiting the admin over plain http, 2.6 moves from a single cookie setup to a three cookie setup.</p>
<p>In previous releases, WP set one cookie.  This cookie was delivered to all parts of your blog over both secure SSL connections and regular, unsecured connections.  It was delivered to the front page of the blog and to the admin pages.  Delivering a cookie to the front page allows WP to display inline editing and logout links for the currently logged in user.  To properly support SSL, WP needs to be able to restrict delivery of the auth cookie to only secure SSL sessions.  If WP stuck with a single cookie and delivered it only over secure sessions, that cookie would not be delivered to the front page since most people don&#8217;t visit the front page of their blogs over SSL.  Thus, WP would be unable to display info related to the current user on the front page.</p>
<p>To remedy this, WordPress 2.6 sets separate &#8220;logged in&#8221; and &#8220;auth&#8221; cookies.  The logged in cookie is delivered for all pages of your blog over both SSL and non-SSL sessions.  The logged in cookie cannot be used to access the admin.  It merely indicates that a particular user is currently logged in. The logged in cookie cannot be used to make changes to the blog.</p>
<p>The auth cookie, on the other hand, is delivered only for the admin area and can be used to make changes to the blog.  If you login via https, your auth cookie will be delivered only for SSL sessions.  If you login over https and later visit your admin via regular http, you will have to log in again to get a non-SSL auth cookie. By default, you have the option of visiting your admin either via http or https.  If you want to force all admin sessions to be over https, add the following to your wp-config.php:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;FORCE_SSL_ADMIN&#8217;, true);</p></blockquote>
<p>This will prevent non-SSL logins to your blog. This means you will never have an auth cookie delivered in the clear.  If you want to force logins to be over SSL to prevent usernames and passwords from being sent in the clear while letting your users have the choice of using http or https when visiting the admin, add this to your wp-config.php:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;FORCE_SSL_LOGIN&#8217;, true);</p></blockquote>
<p>This does not force all cookies to be delivered over SSL.  The user has a choice between the greater security of an https session and the greater speed of an http session.  If you want to remove this choice and force secure https sessions, FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is for you.</p>
<p>With these new cookies comes new secret keys for signing them.  Recall that WordPress 2.5 <a href="http://boren.nu/archives/2008/04/24/cookie-security-in-wordpress-25/">introduced SECRET_KEY</a> as a means of adding a little extra security to cookie signing.  If you intend to use the SSL support in 2.6, you will probably want to define the secret key for the secure cookie.  If you don&#8217;t intend to use SSL, you can stick with your existing SECRET_KEY.  Here&#8217;s an example of what the new secret key definitions look like:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />

define(&#8217;LOGGED_IN_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);</p></blockquote>
<p>You should change those sample phrases to unique, preferably random phrases.  Each key should have a different phrase.  Visit <a href="http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/">http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/</a> to get a set of random keys that you can cut-and-paste into your wp-config.php.  Once again, if you don&#8217;t intend to use SSL, you can stick with the SECRET_KEY you already have.</p>
<p>This should be mostly transparent to plugins and themes. I say mostly because there are some themes that send POST and AJAX requests to files within the themes directory.  The auth cookies are delivered only to the wp-admin and wp-content/plugins directories, so files directly loaded from wp-content/themes will not see the cookies.  Themes should send their POST and AJAX requests to the admin-post.php or admin-ajax.php files.  I&#8217;ve added a short article to the codex on <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests">how themes and plugins should handle their POST and AJAX requests</a>.</p>
<p>Plugins might also create links that are not properly prefixed with &#8216;https&#8217;.  Any content loaded into a secure page must come via an https link to avoid warnings from the browser about the content being only partially encrypted.  WordPress 2.6 introduces five new functions that take care of using the proper protocol when loading CSS, JS, and other files into an SSL-encrypted admin page.  They are site_url(), admin_url(), includes_ur(), plugins_url(), and content_url().  Each accepts an optional path relative to the site, admin, include, plugins, and content urls, respectively.  For example, to link to wp-content/plugins/foo/foo.php use plugins_url(&#8217;foo/foo.php&#8217;).  Plugins that load CSS and JS via relative links do not need to use these functions.  Relative links will automatically use the proper protocol.</p>
<p>If your host supports SSL, WordPress 2.6 enables you to make use of that support in a secure manner.  Enjoy, and help us make SSL support better by <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Reporting_Bugs">reporting any bugs you find</a>.</p>";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:25:10 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:4:"Ryan";}s:7:"summary";s:5958:"<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> 2.6 includes better support for visiting the admin over <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer">SSL</a>. Part of this support involves making sure authorization cookies are delivered only over SSL-encrypted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https">HTTPS</a> sessions.  To accommodate this while still allowing the option of visiting the admin over plain http, 2.6 moves from a single cookie setup to a three cookie setup.</p>
<p>In previous releases, WP set one cookie.  This cookie was delivered to all parts of your blog over both secure SSL connections and regular, unsecured connections.  It was delivered to the front page of the blog and to the admin pages.  Delivering a cookie to the front page allows WP to display inline editing and logout links for the currently logged in user.  To properly support SSL, WP needs to be able to restrict delivery of the auth cookie to only secure SSL sessions.  If WP stuck with a single cookie and delivered it only over secure sessions, that cookie would not be delivered to the front page since most people don&#8217;t visit the front page of their blogs over SSL.  Thus, WP would be unable to display info related to the current user on the front page.</p>
<p>To remedy this, WordPress 2.6 sets separate &#8220;logged in&#8221; and &#8220;auth&#8221; cookies.  The logged in cookie is delivered for all pages of your blog over both SSL and non-SSL sessions.  The logged in cookie cannot be used to access the admin.  It merely indicates that a particular user is currently logged in. The logged in cookie cannot be used to make changes to the blog.</p>
<p>The auth cookie, on the other hand, is delivered only for the admin area and can be used to make changes to the blog.  If you login via https, your auth cookie will be delivered only for SSL sessions.  If you login over https and later visit your admin via regular http, you will have to log in again to get a non-SSL auth cookie. By default, you have the option of visiting your admin either via http or https.  If you want to force all admin sessions to be over https, add the following to your wp-config.php:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;FORCE_SSL_ADMIN&#8217;, true);</p></blockquote>
<p>This will prevent non-SSL logins to your blog. This means you will never have an auth cookie delivered in the clear.  If you want to force logins to be over SSL to prevent usernames and passwords from being sent in the clear while letting your users have the choice of using http or https when visiting the admin, add this to your wp-config.php:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;FORCE_SSL_LOGIN&#8217;, true);</p></blockquote>
<p>This does not force all cookies to be delivered over SSL.  The user has a choice between the greater security of an https session and the greater speed of an http session.  If you want to remove this choice and force secure https sessions, FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is for you.</p>
<p>With these new cookies comes new secret keys for signing them.  Recall that WordPress 2.5 <a href="http://boren.nu/archives/2008/04/24/cookie-security-in-wordpress-25/">introduced SECRET_KEY</a> as a means of adding a little extra security to cookie signing.  If you intend to use the SSL support in 2.6, you will probably want to define the secret key for the secure cookie.  If you don&#8217;t intend to use SSL, you can stick with your existing SECRET_KEY.  Here&#8217;s an example of what the new secret key definitions look like:</p>
<blockquote><p>define(&#8217;AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
define(&#8217;SECURE_AUTH_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);<br />
define(&#8217;LOGGED_IN_KEY&#8217;, &#8216;put your unique phrase here&#8217;);</p></blockquote>
<p>You should change those sample phrases to unique, preferably random phrases.  Each key should have a different phrase.  Visit <a href="http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/">http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/</a> to get a set of random keys that you can cut-and-paste into your wp-config.php.  Once again, if you don&#8217;t intend to use SSL, you can stick with the SECRET_KEY you already have.</p>
<p>This should be mostly transparent to plugins and themes. I say mostly because there are some themes that send POST and AJAX requests to files within the themes directory.  The auth cookies are delivered only to the wp-admin and wp-content/plugins directories, so files directly loaded from wp-content/themes will not see the cookies.  Themes should send their POST and AJAX requests to the admin-post.php or admin-ajax.php files.  I&#8217;ve added a short article to the codex on <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests">how themes and plugins should handle their POST and AJAX requests</a>.</p>

The post described new features that will be introduced shortly in WordPress 2.6. Though there are several new features that you may like in this new version, there might be many that have gone unnoticed that were introduced in the earlier versions of WordPress. To quell the anticipation that users might have for the latest version, we wanted to write a series of posts that will cover WordPress from its infancy to WordPress 2.5 (the latest major version) that many of you use.</p>
<p>The WordPress team has been naming their major releases after popular Jazz legends and we will take a look at code names for the past releases.</p>
<h3>B2 / Cafelog</h3>
<p>WordPress is the official successor of <a href="http://cafelog.com/" target="_blank">B2/Cafelog</a> which is a blogging platform created in early 2001 by <a href="http://intraordinary.com/" target="_blank">Michel Valdrighi</a> using PHP and MySQL. <a href="http://ma.tt/" target="_blank">Matt Mullenweg</a> and <a href="http://zed1.com/journalized/" target="_blank">Mike Little</a> took over the development to come up with (fork?) the WordPress platform as we officially know it now in early 2003, giving birth to one of the best blogging platforms ever developed.</p>
<h3>WordPress 0.7 – 0.71</h3>
<p>The first version to come out under the new name was WordPress 0.7 which was released in May 2003, marking several changes over the B2/Cafelog software. <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2003/05/wordpress-now-available/" target="_blank">WordPress 0.7</a> introduced several new features such as allowing users to add links to their blogrolls,  new administration interfaces, manual excerpts, default templates and more.</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2003/06/wordpress-071-now-available/" target="_blank">WordPress 0.71</a> was just a minor revision but it brought incorporated many changes that form an integral part of WordPress as we know it today. WordPress 0.71 &#8220;Gold” introduced cool new features such as post status where users could mark the post state as draft, publish or private. A blog owner would also have greater flexibility over the comments by disabling them on a per-post basis. 0.71 also combined trackbacks, pingbacks and user written comments into a single category. There were several other changes including better administration, security fixes and more.</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2003/10/072-final-version-available/">WordPress 0.72</a> added password protected posts, new xmlrpc APIs, a Blogger import and many other improvements. This version also included a new theme from Dave Shea.</p>
<h3>WordPress 1.0</h3>
<p>There were several minor versions in between WordPress 0.71 and WordPress 1.2 beside WordPress 1.0, which included <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2004/01/101-miles-release-available/" target="_blank">WordPress 1.0.1</a> code named “Miles”. This was followed by <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.0.2" target="_blank">WordPress 1.0.2</a> code named “Blakey” which was a smaller release based on bug fixes.</p>
<p>The much anticipated <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2004/01/wordpress-10/" target="_blank">WordPress 1.0</a> was finally released on January 3rd, 2004. This version included several new exciting features (as usual). The most noticeable feature was the introduction of better search engine friendly permalinks which allowed users to structure their URLs to get better search engine visibility using mod_rewrite. The version also lifted the limitation of allowing only one category per post. This meant that users could assign several categories to a single post.</p>
<p>For all those who were worried about comment spam, this version included comment moderation where blog authors could moderate comments, before they would be viewable on the blog. Users could also edit pages or comments with the newly provided links. WordPress 1.0 also included support for ATOM based feeds. 1.0 was a very popular release.</p>
<p>There were several other new releases which we will take a look in other parts of this series. In the mean time, we would love to hear from users who had used these versions. How did the earlier versions of WordPress change your outlook towards blogging? Did those earlier versions make you a fan?</p>

<p>Weblog Tools Collection uses a lot of plugins and is very query heavy but the in spite of that, the front page uses 59 queries to generate itself.

<p>Larger number of queries on a WordPress blog are probably caused by plugins that have been installed.

<p>It is also important to remember that the number of queries might not be the <em>only</em> straw that is breaking the camel&#8217;s back.
