    The Future of WordPress 

    Scott Berkun will talk about the future of WordPress at the WordCamp San Francisco 2010. He is asking for suggestions on things to talk so if you have any ideas head here. On the other hand, you can read upon my suggestions there or here:

    1) Keep the Simplicity – My greatest fear with WordPress is that people won’t stop adding more things to it. I like its smallness. The merging of WordPress MU in the upcoming 3.0 version is just one example of the unnecessary growing complexity of the WordPress code base.

    2) Be more Open – Automattic keeps control of the only official plugin repository and WordPress only works with it. Reminds me of the Apple App Store and I for sure don’t want anything like that for WordPress.

    Support Fernando Nobre 

    For the 2011 Portuguese Presidential elections I will be supporting Fernando Nobre. Not that anyone cares but I thought I should mention it. For that reason I’ve added to my blog a small support banner linking to the campaign site.

    I’ve also been thinking how I can contribute and help with the campaign, and how to enable people that are interested in helping out to do so effectively, besides the obvious sign-up for voluntary help at the campaign site.

    If you have a WordPress blog, I’ve made public a widget you can use on the sidebar of your blog to display a small image banner just like the one I’m using. It’s an easy way of showing our support and it’s very easy to install:

    1. Inside the WordPress admin, go to Plugins -> Add New and search for ‘Fernando Nobre’.
    2. Click ‘Install’.
    3. Inside the WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Widgets, and add the ‘Apoio Fernando Nobre’ widget where you want, then save the changes.
    4. That’s it!

    And here’s the link to the plugin page:

      O SAFT-PT é obrigatório desde 1 Janeiro de 2008.

    • Nuno Morgadinho 9:05 am on March 4, 2010 Permalink

      Paulo, obrigado pela correcção. Na verdade estava a referir-me à nova estrutura do SAFT-PT, que entrou em vigor a partir de 1 de Janeiro de 2010.

    How to Get More From Social Media and Networking 

    Do you want to get more from social networking? Do you want to increase the level of conversation and interaction with your followers? Then start chopping down, not adding more of them.

    I’ve reduced the number of people I had on Twitter from 185 down to 50. I was getting hammered by so many tweets that I didn’t care that some of them had to go. Over the next weeks I will be selecting 50 persons that I will follow and interact with. That means those 50 better be good or they will be replaced.

    Information overload. That’s a big problem. Our heads are overloaded with information and simplifying all that information into a digestible form is a big challenge. What’s the solution? Selection.

    Result = Good quality content

     

    • João Leitão 4:39 am on March 3, 2010 Permalink

      This is a important issue in life. Nuno you are so right about this subject and indeed QUALITY = GOOD RESULTS. It is kind of hard to actually follow people on Twitter now since there’s so many people. I’ll definitely look that out and I’ll do my own clean up soon! thank you.

    Internationalizing Your WordPress Plugin 

    We call “internationalization” to the process of setting up software so that it can be used in different languages. In my case I had a plugin with text strings in English and I wanted to add a Portuguese translation. In wp-config.php I set up the WPLANG variable to pt_PT:

    define ('WPLANG', 'pt_PT');

    I then used poEdit, a localization tool that works with Mac OS X and that can be downloaded from the poEdit download page. In poEdit, from the File menu select ‘New Catalog’. Fill in the information there and in the ‘Paths’ tab put the plugin directory. In the ‘Keywords’ tab add the missing entries so it looks like this:

    At this point it should recognize all the text strings in your code and present a screen where you can add the translations. After that be sure to save the file as pluginname-pt_PT.po, preferably in a directory called ‘translations’ or ‘locales’ (but anything will do). After that you’re all set. In your code you should load the translation like this:

    load_plugin_textdomain ( 'your-plugin-name' , FALSE , '/your-plugin-name/translations' );

    And strings should have the form:

    _e('Choose a Category','your-plugin-name');

    That’s it. Let me know if you run into troubles :)
