Congratulations to Brad on today’s launch of WP App Store. I’m very pleased to see this come to life. It’s an idea we toyed around with several years ago, but decided not to pull the trigger on – I hope it’s a huge success. We’ve put our FavePersonal and FaveBusiness themes along with our RAMP…

We pushed out an update to RAMP today, our WordPress plugin that makes it easy for you to stage content for review in one environment, then push it to your production server once it’s ready to go. As the version number indicates, this release is primarily to deliver a few bug fixes. Here is a…

Cart66 released a new version this morning, addressing the vulnerability I posted about yesterday. A one-day turn-around to address a security issue is excellent (even if the stink from 9 months of inattention hasn’t fully dissipated yet).

As part of the development effort there, my team at Crowd Favorite discovered a vulnerability in Cart66. We reported this to the Cart 66 team on July 11, 2011 and received the following response on…

We’ve just released version 1.0.1 of FavePersonal, which has a few minor updates. There’s one in particular that I think will be particularly useful: we’ve added a link to download a the style.css file you need to create a child theme (with your currently selected colors) from the Theme Settings page in FavePersonal. While I’m…

One of the most fun features of FavePersonal is experimenting with different color palettes. We’ve made it easy to experiment with different colors and find a set that makes your site feel like it’s your own. No need to fiddle through dozens of color pickers, you can choose from full color palettes, preview them, and…

I have been using (and building and testing) FavePersonal on this site since August of last year and I am very pleased with what we’ve created. The features for FavePersonal were driven by my goals for version three of…

I’ve been excited to try Sparrow on my iPhone since I saw it announced last year. I haven’t been a fan of the desktop app as I’m so hopelessly dependent on MsgFiler with Mail.app to support my email workflow, but I was hoping that Sparrow on the iPhone would be an improvement over the included…

As part of our move to Git, we now host our WordPress code on GitHub. Carrington Core was moved over a while ago and I finally finished migrating the rest of the themes from their old home on Google Code. The themes are being renamed: Carrington Blog is becoming FaveBlog Carrington Text is becoming FaveText…
