WPWeekly Episode 43 – Glimpse At WordPress 2.8

David and I talked about some WordPress news that has accumulated the past two weeks. This ranged from WPDesigner coming back to life only to die again to my idea to wipe the ideas forum and start a new. We also covered a few confirmed features that will be in WordPress 2.8. Oh and last but not least, Michael Castilla and Dan Philibin from WPCandy.com stopped by at the beginning of the show to tell us about WordCamp Miami.

WordPress Tavern Listener Poll:

Each week from now on, I’ll be featuring a new listener poll question on WPTavern.com The poll is located in the sidebar on the right hand side of the site.

Last weeks poll question was: Is Friday The 13th Lucky Or Unlucky?

Out of a total of 33 votes, 20 of you voted The Concept Of Luck Is Superstitious Nonsense, 8 Of you voted Lucky while only 5 of you voted Unlucky.

This Weeks Poll Question Is: Should WordPress Be Referred To As A CMS?

Plugin Picks Of The Week:

Jeff – Admin Show Sticky – Determining what posts are sticky or not should be easier than editing each post or comparing a list of posts displayed on your site to the list in the Edit Posts table in the admin. This plugin will add a new column titled `Sticky` and place a check mark in this column if the post is `Sticky`.
