Jeff Starr erklärt was man alles in der wp-config.php angeben kann.

Zwei Einstellungen die ich noch nicht kannte und die Performance beeinflussen fand ich spannend.

Zum einen Pfadangaben die normalerweise über ein SQL-Query geholt werden:

define('TEMPLATEPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');
define('STYLESHEETPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');

Und zum anderen die Cookie Domain:

There are several reasons why you want to specify a cookie domain for your site. A common example involves preventing cookies from being sent with requests for static content on subdomains. In this case, you would use this definition to tell WordPress to send cookies only to your non-static domain. This could be a significant performance boost. Here are some examples of setting various cookie path and cookie domain information:

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.diggingintowordpress.com'); // don't omit the leading '.'
define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace('|https?://[^/]+|i', '', get_option('home').'/'));
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', preg_replace('|https?://[^/]+|i', '', get_option('siteurl').'/'));
define('PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH', preg_replace('|https?://[^/]+|i', '', WP_PLUGIN_URL));
define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', SITECOOKIEPATH.'wp-admin');

Chris Coyier glaubt einen Light CMS Trend entdeckt zu haben.

CMSs are for web people. Even my beloved WordPress can be challenging to train/explain to someone who has no experience working with websites. Perhaps this is the motivation toward a new trend in CMSs I’m calling “light” CMSs. Each of them attempt to make the task of updating content on a website easier and more intuitive. This is largely at the cost of features. These are for simple, otherwise static websites where updating content is the name of the game.

Keine Ahnung ob es ein Trend ist, aber eine schöne Übersicht - wenn man die Kommentare ließt - was es da draußen so in dieser Liga gibt. Und hin und wieder ist es genau das was ein Kunde braucht.

Ein neuer Feed in meinem Reader: html5doctor

html5doctor is a collaboration between, Rich Clark, Bruce Lawson, Jack Osborne, Mike Robinson, Remy Sharp and Tom Leadbetter.

The site came about following a HTML5 meetup after the Future of Web Design conference in London (2009). We decided that there wasn’t a resource that catered for the people who wished to find out more about implementing HTML5 and how to go about it, so we thought we’d better build one.

We will publish articles relating to HTML5 and it’s semantics and how to use them, here and now. We will also be inviting questions, in the form of ‘Ask the doctor’ to help answer people’s queries and questions. Answers will be posted in the form of articles for all to learn from.

Des weiteren gibt es Links zu JavaScript Workarounds die man wohl verwenden muss bis gewisse Möchtegern-Browser endlich ausgestorben sind.

“Das Blockieren oder Filtern bestimmter Internet-Inhalte ist für die Europäische Union völlig inakzeptabel.” Diese Worte hat EU-Medienkommissarin Viviane Reding der chinesischen Regierung ins Stammbuch geschrieben. Die von Peking geplante Einführung eines Internet-Filters ziele darauf ab, das Netz zu zensieren und die Meinungsfreiheit einzuschränken, sagte Reding in Brüssel.

Das ist ja schon fast witzig. Etliche europäische Länder führen Internet-Zensur ein aber auf China einschlagen. Oh Mann!

• Dynamic Persistent Menu | drupal.org
  This module displays a horizontal menu in a block under which a submenu appears when an user hovers on an item. If the menu on the current page has a submenu, it’s displayed by default, so this module degrades gracefully if Javascript is not present.
