BuddyPress for single WordPress.org users (not WPMU)!!!

Fascinating developments over at the BP forums where, according to dimensionmedia:
“Word today from WordCamp Denver – BuddyPress for Wordpress (standard, not MU) is coming. It looks like the only main difference is that you cannot have blogs/sites for individual users (obviouslly). But from the sounds of it, everything else is there.”

Hackers Highlight: 01 March 2009

I think that the hackers at wp-hackers mailing list are the real unsung heroes of WordPress. Out of spotlight, day by day they band together to squash bugs, enhance performances, add great features, and many more. Take a look at your favorite part of WordPress. Do you know who coded that thing, who brought that feature from ideas to implementation, who debated it night and day whether it would be a good addition for WordPress? Probably not.

One thing I’ve loved about WordPress 2.7.x is the ability to install plugins directly from the WordPress Plugin Repository. You don’t need to visit the individual site and instead just search for the plugin you want and then download, install and activate it.

But there’s more to it than that. Here’s a quick run-through of how I use photos on this site, and some more about Flickr.

The Best SEO Advice I Have For Bloggers

I recommend guest posting because link building is so important in SEO. Many webmasters neglect to build links so you’ll have a competitive advantage if you guest post. And the quantity and quality of your backlinks is the most important factor to ranking well for a wide variety of keywords and the competitive keywords with high search volume.
