WordPress 2.7 Complete, competition results
At the start of last week I ran a small competition to give away the book WordPress 2.7 Complete that I had reviewed. I had a few entries and, as promised, I have posted below all of the entries. Read on to see what people said, and to find out who has won.

I haven't read any WordPress books before, and have always wondered what they would contain so I was instantly intrigued when I was contacted by someone from Packt publishing asking if I wanted to review a new WordPress book.
WordPress 2.7 Complete is squarely targeted at the new WordPress user. The chapters actually cover quite a broad range of topics, including everything from the initial ...
The future of WordPress themes
A couple of weeks ago there was quite a lot of talk within the WordPress themes community about the future of WordPress. Ian Stewart started it, and then it spread around the blogosphere... so I thought I'd offer my rather late tuppence worth.
First a quick round up of the current posts:
What’s in store for WordPress themes in 2009? WordPress Themes In ...Mimbo Pro 2.0
A year ago - almost to the day - Darren and I released Mimbo Pro, a premium WordPress theme. Since then both WordPress, and our technical skills, have grown considerably and so we're now ready to present to you, Mimbo Pro 2.0.
Superficially Mimbo Pro 2.0 looks quite similar to it's older sibling, but it's actually ended up being almost a complete rewrite. The code is considerably cleaner and simpler now, and there is more abstraction which means removing ...
WordPress 2.7 and Crazyhorse
Last weekend I spent a few days away from WordPress and work in general to spend some quality time with the girlfriend. When I got back and updated my local copy of WordPress (via svn) I was surprised to see that they had started to incorporate all of the user testing information feedback they had received at the test camps earlier this year.
I am really pleased to see the changes as they are moving WordPress in a very positive direction. ...
New plugin : BM Admin Tweak
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned how I have customised my wordpress administration interface to make it more streamlined and usable. This is an interface I made for myself so it works the way I want it too - however I had a couple of people say they liked the look of it and wanted me to release it as a plugin... so here it is.
Before anyone downloads it I would like to point out that this was ...
Redesigning the WordPress admin Redesign
Ever since the first betas of WordPress 2.5 I have been making my own version of the admin panel. I like a lot of what they have done but there were some very basic things missing in the design, and I could see a number of ways to improve it. Every now and then I will add something new to tweak it a little bit more and then last week Eric Meyer released his own version of the admin redesign ...
WordPress themes, and assumed responsibility
I've had a number of emails recently about an Islamic website that is using my free WordPress theme - Regulus. People have been emailing assuming that, because I designed the theme, I am Islamic and a terrorist.
I can't actually comment on the website as none of the emails (or blog comments!) have actually explained anything - the authors jumping straight into threats and accusations, but the fact that they have found me because of the theme and automatically accuse ...
