WordPress news for this week:
- WordPress 2.5 is now in feature freeze. No more new features will be added. Concentration will be on fixing bugs, polishing up the new admin design, and finishing off the new features that are already in. March 10th as the release date.
- There’s a new WordPress Development Blog, a bit different from the “official” WordPress Development Blog. This new Prologue theme-based blog is more about helping developers find and fix bugs, and less about official announcements of security issues, etc.
- Chris Johnston was nice enough to put up a WordPress 2.5 demonstration blog so people could see what version 2.5 looked like and how it behaved, except it was hacked and now points to some foreign language domain having something to do with casinos. No, I’m not linking to it.
- In the sidebar you’ll find this last week’s poll question, “Is WordPress Insecure by Design?”
- In WordPress.com news, Lorelle explains how a battery failure caused all of the posts meant to be published in the future were mistakenly published last week, and puts her own layman’s spin on WordPress.com’s Terms of Service.
- Our interview with Lisa Sabin-Wilson, author of WordPress for Dummies and owner, founder and creative director of E.Webscapes Blog Design service.

Hi.
Not sure if you’d like to see/share my tutorial on setting up a local wordpress for testing. I wrote it for the people who wanted to see WordPress 2.5 before it comes out… But I think it’s useful for most people.
Anyway, sorry to post it here. Didn’t see a contact form.

Just so you know I have a demo for the admin at http://hyper123.net/wp_demo/ and it is all static html so it won’t be as easily taken over.

I’m looking forward to see how the new 2.5 will behave. Although I will not try it online from the 2.5.0 version. As it a new and breakthrough version, I will wait for the first updates.

2.5/3.0/4.0 and more more more.
2.5 demo site seems to be back as normal. Apparently, the database is reset every hour.

Thanks for another good show guys!
Good show! Nice interview with Lisa Sabin-Wilson. I bought her book with I first started using WP and it has been a big help. It was cool hearing a behind-the-scenes look at publishing.
Charles, thanks for being a fabulous host and having me on the podcast this week. I greatly enjoyed talking with you.

Hey Charles, glad to hear that the podcast gods smiled upon you and granted the interview between you and Lisa
It was a good interview and I enjoyed listening to how Lisa got started with WordPress. She started WAY back when! Now it’s my turn. Too bad she won’t be making it to WordCamp Dallas though.
Enjoyed the news and Lorelles take on the Terms Of Service, definitely more entertaining than reading that mumbo jumbo. Bring on episode 36
