WordPress is 6 — or is it?

At this time of year, I nor­mally say Happy Birth­day to WordPress. After all it was 6 years ago today I made the com­ment on Matt’s blog that star­ted the whole thing off.

How­ever last year, Matt held a birth­day party for WordPress’ 5th in May. May 27th to be pre­cise, which is the anniversary of the first WordPress release.

If the birth of WordPress was the first release, then I guess I’ve been cel­eb­rat­ing the con­cep­tion.  :-)

Regard­less, WordPress has come a long way. The baby  has grown into a world beat­ing piece of soft­ware. It’s so good I’ve bet the house on it (more of that soon).

Any­way “Happy Con­cep­tion” to WordPress and I hope there are many more to come.

Journalized Theme 2.7.2 Released

There is a new ver­sion of my Journ­al­ized theme avail­able. This ver­sion, 2.7.2, fixes a couple of bugs raised by users.

  • A couple of 2.7 only depend­en­cies have now been fixed.
  • A prob­lem with ver­sions of PHP less than 5 was fixed.
  • The theme is now trans­lat­able and comes with Rus­sian built in (Thanks to Dmitriy Donchenko)

Go to the theme page to down­load it.

As usual, please add your com­ments, ques­tions, or bug reports to the theme page.

I am par­tic­u­larly inter­ested in feed­back on the inter­na­tion­al­isa­tion of the theme. This is the first time I have trans­lated a theme, so I may have done some things wrong! I have included the POT, PO, and MO files. If any­one wishes to trans­late the theme to other lan­guages, please do, I am more than happy to dis­trib­ute other lan­guage files with the theme.

Bids are being invited for this year’s WordCamp UK event tar­geted for July. Last years event was held in Birm­ing­ham and was a fant­astic success.

This year I hope we can top that and make it big­ger and bet­ter. The details can be found over at Tony Scott’s site.

Note, there is a dead­line for sub­mis­sions of mid­night GMT on Sunday 25 Janu­ary 2009 so that’s less than two weeks!
