Twitter recently made some changes to their API. One of them has an impact if you’re trying to access someone’s Twitter RSS Feed.
This used to work extremely well: on every user’s Twitter page there was an RSS Icon in your browser bar. We sued click on it and saw the feed. Well not anymore 🙁
But help is at hand – thanks to The Sociable who have kindly explained how to access it post May 2011.

I had a closer look at this theme the other day when I made some upgrades on Nadia’s website.
I really like the look and feel of Motion but I felt certain things were missing from this wonderful theme, such as drop down submenus.
Let’s take a look at some tweaks and how you can make Motion your own.
This article was written for Version 1.1.6 – these tweaks may not work in later revisions of the theme.
In this workshop I will talk you through using the PHPlist Campaign Manager.
PHPlist is another Open Source venture which has grown tremendously over the years. Even though not anywhere near as elegant as WordPress it gets the job done and it’s free to use – so we can live with its intricacies.

After nearly 7.500 downloads it’s time for Version 1.6 of your favourite backup plugin – it’s a shame it took me so long to do so little… All my time is currently consumed with planning our move from London, UK to Miami Beach, FL which leaves too little time for hacking code. Apologies if development cycles take longer than we all had hoped.
Thanks again to everyone who provided feedback and error messages!
The good news is that once we’re settled in the US, I’ll focus my efforts on WordPress Support and development full time! Fingers crossed, it won’t be much longer now 😉
Let’s have a look at the new features of Snapshot Backup 1.6:
Let me talk you through the steps necessary to restore a WordPress Site if you’re backed it up with Snapshot Backup. In principle there are four options you have:
In this article I’ll describe Option 1: Restoring a Snapshot via FTP.
Here’s a maintenance release of Snapshot which fixes a handful of issues many of you have experienced over the last month. Let me share with you what I’ve done to make Snapshot even better. It’s all about compatibility.
Thank you all forover 4000 downloads at the time of writing!
Special thanks go to Ozh, Justin and Brad and their new book Professional WordPress Plugin Development which is helping me enormously in getting a grip on WordPress constants and functions.
Ray and I have been working on Livestatus, a status report system for television broadcasters. We decided that BuddyPress would be a superb platform to use for this and went with it.
There aren’t many Themes available for BuddyPress so we went with the default theme which I think works best. However there’s still a lot of clutter we didn’t need so I made some quick amendmends.
Here are my notes if you’d like to have a go.
