I like to include rich media like audio and video in the sites that I do, but I’d never dream of forcing that media on visitors! I wouldn’t want them to think that they had landed on a MySpace page…
I agree that it would be good to see theme designers support sticky posts, since it would be such a simple feature to include in their stylesheet.
Thanks for including some coverage of bbPress in this episode. I have a site that is using WordPress and phpBB, and they just don’t play very well together. I have tried bbPress in the past, but it felt a little too rough around the edges for me. However, I’m keen to give it another shot when bbPress 1.0 drops.
Great show as always Charles. After listening to the description of BB Press and what 1.0 will have to offer, I’m now going to at least take a look at it and play around with it on my local server. WordCamp Australia sounds like it will be an awesome time.
Guys, it looks like you’ve been able to get the WP “comments” link to behave like an html anchor tag, in that it takes the viewer down the page to the comment form.
WP uses a template tag called comments_popup_link to create its comments link, so there’s no way to append an html anchor tag.
Have you worked out this problem and if so, how did you do it?
Thanks.
