Helping you learn more and do more with WordPress

Since creating my Weekly Digest, I’m forced to look through my blog stats on a regular basis, something I’ve been loath to do for many years. Most of it doesn’t interest me as I’ve been doing this too long to worry over the micro-statistics, but I’ve been watching an interesting trend that has now turned [...]

It’s official. I am the “editor” of the new Edublogs Magazine, an online magazine covering education and the Edublogs Network of free hosted blogs for teachers, students, and education professionals. Trust me, it’s been a busy week. This is the Weekly Digest from Lorelle on WordPress. To subscribe to the Weekly Digest category of Lorelle [...]

I asked my friend, Ian of Letters Home To You living in Hamburg, Germany, to report on this past weekend’s WordCamp Hamburg. Unfortunately, he could only report on the first day of the two day event.

It’s another week in the blogging neighborhood of Lorelle’s World with plenty of activity and action.

Again, I am honored by my dear friend, Edrei Zahari of Footsteps in the Mirror, who continues to take on my blog challenge asking what you have learned this year. He wrote about what he learned in 2006 and continues the tradition with What Have You Learnt In 2007?. I think it’s a brilliant idea to [...]

I had last week’s Weekly Digest of “Lorelle World” ready to go, but life stepped in with a lot of snow and too many distractions. My apologies. So this week, you get three-for-one. I decided to have a little fun these past few weeks with the types of articles I published here and on [...]

According to Weblog Tools Collection, referencing comments and announcements made in the developer mailing list, the much anticipated WordPress 2.4 will be released in March not January. Indeed, WordPress 2.4 has now been removed from the WordPress Roadmap, and WordPress 2.5 is still scheduled for March 24, 2008. The reasons appear to be because of the [...]

On the list of things I’m not worthy of are two award nominations from Peformancing: Most Influential Blogger Award and Best Writing and Blogging Award.
