Worldwide WordPress 5k 2012

[wpt-activity]

Err, make that a 21.7k. Since I did not see a post about the World Wide WordPress 5k earlier this month, I had assumed it was going to be one of of those “one shot” initiatives. However, today I saw they just moved it to the end of April (to today). Due to this, the MSP WordPress user group did not get together for the WWP5k as we did last year. None-the-less I put in double digits worth of miles weekly again, so I’m going to count Saturday’s 13.4 mile run as my WWP5k run.

Saturday we had some sleet as we left for the run. Luckily, less than 5 minuets into the run we had run out of the rain/sleet and had about 11 very nice miles. During the last 2 miles the wind picked up and the sleet started again.

My goal for next year, other than not forgetting and organizing an run with the MSPWUG, is to get WP Trainer to a more usable state.

WP Lynx 0.4.0

Posted by John Havlik in WordPress > Plugins

Has it really been over a year since 0.3.0? This release does not contain a ton of new features, but rather some bug fixes, and other updates that allows it to play nicer with WordPress 3.3. There is a new help menu, with some useful information on the settings page. Content filtering has been improved so that it is less likely that junk will get scraped.

Per the roadmap, the real interesting release will be 0.5.0, which will support the relevant portions of Facebook’s Open Graph format. Look for that release in the early summer.
