My WordPress theme Notes Blog Core is now available. More here, including links and everything.
Sad news, WordPress theme lovers. Details here.
Actually, I did before as well, tdhedengren.com all along, with the beta and the RCs. More on 2.7 here, courtesy of the Blog Herald.
This blog has been updated to WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1. That means we’re close to the full version. The team didn’t make it out in November as was the plan, but early December is good enough for me.
Wow. This is the first time I have an asides like functionality on any of my blogs, and I find it totally addictive, as you can see below. Five posts, five asides post, and then a regular one (like the one you’re reading now), followed by a somewhat more sane use of asides.
I find it very easy to share something funny with you all, dear readers, using asides. A bit too easy really, since it means that I risk to pump out a bunch of posts each day, but none are really original content. Links are great, but I know you’re dying to hear what I have to say, even if you’re reading it. Sometimes I think that having to go through a bit more hassle is a good way to make sure you’re taking the time needed, although I won’t go so far as to blabber about Slow Blogging…
Anyway, if you’re as addicted to asides – mine or the pure notion of having them on your blog – you should read my post on the matter over at Devlounge. The upcoming WordPress 2.7 certainly does a lot of things right, that’s for sure.
And I promise I’ll write more posts. I’ve been busy, that’s all I can say.
Some of you have emailed me wondering if I’m planning to release my previous WordPress theme to the public. Right now, I’m afraid the answer is no. I’m still mulling over that one, but rest assured I’ll let you know when I come to a decision!
Performancing have launched my WordPress theme TDAge, originally used for tdh.se and the now defunct rethord.com. It is a free theme, so be sure to grab it. Speaking of themes, expect a version of my Notes Blog based addon theme TDHish to roll out here on tdhedengren.com shortly, along with more frequent updates. Yes, that means more blog posts. Stay tuned.

My upcoming free WordPress theme, titled Notes Blog, is in private beta right now. That means that I’m running it, and that I’ve got a few friends running it locally and/or in public. In fact, I decided to roll it out on my Swedish blog, sporting a dedicated add-on theme thanks to the new template functionality in WordPress 2.7. You can see it in action, not finished by any means (localization isn’t done yet, among other things) over at tdh.se. Swedish readers might be interested in the launch post as well.
What you’re seeing on tdh.se is the TDHish add-on theme, which won’t be available for download in case you were wondering. It runs on Notes Blog Core, the them I’ll offer for free later this month, after WordPress 2.7 is officially out (check out the beta if you’re curious). That means that what you see on my Swedish blog right now, isn’t what you’ll get when you install Notes Blog Core.
That being said, I think it is cool that it finally is up and running in public. Stay tuned for more in these coming weeks.
You might think this is a little premature, since WordPress 2.7 isn’t due out until in November this year, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. I’ve mentioned my Notes Blog WordPress theme previously, and I’ve promised to make it available for free.
And you know what, I intend to keep that promise!
My goal is to have the Notes Blog theme available for download by the time WordPress 2.7 is launched, with a possible beta version before that. Again, we’re talking November here, no sooner. And no, there won’t be support for previous versions of WordPress, although the theme might very well work in them anyway. Most likely, actually, but don’t come whining to me if it doesn’t.
So what’s the fuzz about, why WordPress 2.7 and why not now? Read more →
I just published this week’s interview on BloggerTalks, talking to the new Blog Herald blogger, Arvind Satyanarayan about Movable Type. It includes comparing it to WordPress, talk about Six Apart Services, and more.
The interview article is titled Movable Type or WordPress – Arvind Knows What He Prefers and Why and I think you should read it.
