New Default WordPress Theme Twenty Twelve Hits Core for 3.4Speaking of WordPress Themes in 2012, the new WordPress default theme for this year is in da hizzous. For the 3.4 release cycle the core WordPress team is trying something new: assigning small teams to tackle various parts of the release. The Twenty Twelve team is Matt Mullenweg (Holder of the Keys and Grand Master Themengineer), Drew Strojny (Designer and Minimalist), and Lance Willett (Thematurge). Want to keep tabs on this new default WordPress theme? Follow development updates on WordPress D [...]
WordPress Themes in 2012The other day I was asked over dinner what I thought WordPress Themes were going to look like in 2012. The big themes and ideas — the future! — that sort of thing. It’s something I love talking about and sharing (obviously). I see two big trends making their way through the WordPress community. Here’s what I said. Lighter Themes Man, WordPress Theme options. People love arguing about them don’t they? This is the year we start to say goodbye to them. Or some of them, rat [...]
Better WordPress Theme Internationalization with Pig Latin!During the process of creating my first public WordPress theme one thing was very important to me – I wanted the theme to be useful to as many people as possible. To reach this goal, I knew that I would need to make sure that my theme could be used in any language. Luckily, WordPress core provides a few different functions that makes this pretty easy to do. If this is a new topic for you, please read more about Internationalization for WordPress Developers in the codex. By using functions [...]
* { box-sizing: border-box; } FTWPaul Irish on HTML element widths being inclusive of padding at all times. That is to say if I define my box as 200 pixels wide then it should stay at a total of 200 pixels, no matter what I use for its padding value. The money shot is as follows: * { /* apply a natural box layout model to all elements */ -moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; } Also, an interesting read on using * and its impact on performance. You might get up in arms about th [...]

Jot Down Your Thoughts with a Note-Taking ApplicationEver since I started digging into themes at Automattic, I have found that I’ve been keeping way more notes than ever before — I jot down everything: common procedures, code snippets, tidbits from discussions, links, and random ideas. At first I was just using a text file. However, after several months, my “everything.txt” file was growing massively out of control. I decided that a dedicated notes application would be a much more efficient way to keep track of things, plus off [...]

Optional Markup for Optional Post TitlesWhenever I write a post to publish on a WordPress powered website, I start by crafting a title. While I do this 99.9% of the time, there are definitely situations where no title is needed for a post. The template tag the_title() already handles these situations really well. In cases where the title field has been left blank this function does nothing. Basically, it works just as I would expect, but it is in the hands of the theme author to ensure that no extra markup is printed if the title fie [...]

What Do You Really Need in a WordPress Starter Theme?I think it’s safe to say that I’m somewhat obsessed with themes that help you get your WordPress projects started quickly. Most likely because I’ve been there, staring at an empty project folder wondering where I should begin. Well, you shouldn’t have to stare at that empty folder for any project. Even when you’re starting from scratch you’re probably not really starting from scratch, right? You’re taking an existing WordPress theme, either your own or s [...]

The WordPress Theme Lock-In EffectKonstantin Kovshenin has a great post on one of my pet peeves. The lock-in effect. The rub? When you go to switch themes you find that your content is tied into the theme (or plugin) you’ve been using. Not good. WordPress has been known for its backwards compatibility for ages. In fact, you’ll not loose your content when you downgrade (provided that you’re using the core features only,) plus WordPress provides several export options that can easily be read by other software and service [...]
