Browsing from an iPad is a hair pulling experience. The login is bad enogh, but the fact that your login/signup modals simply dont work doesn't inspire confidence. I could see never returning.

I'm sort of what you would call a small developer and WordPress jobs are the majority of my business. I'm speaking only for myself here but when I see stuff like this I pass: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_es

I've used Putty Connection Manager for tabbed management of multiple Putty windows for a few years now. Here's an older article about it: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/03/putty-extreme-makeover-u... U

I was using Putty Connection Manager (puttycm) to allow for tabbed browsing of multiple windows, and after upgrading Putty I now get issues. Loads nothing but a grey screen. I'm working my way through it, but just wanted to pop in to s

Me too. I'm keeping it on. iOS people are reporting it too. Looking through twitter it's pretty far reaching.

This isn't your father's PageMill. It always seemed that this should be the logical way to go, but for some reason I've never really seen these things stick around (at least in my personal experience). Is it a matter of chasi

"In the first quarter of this, year Model S sales outpaced Audi A8, BMW 7-series and Mercedes S Class sales." If this is true, that's pretty impressive. I always saw Tesla as an enthusiasts brand, but this looks like the real

Yup. Just checked it and I'm seeing the same thing. Gotta love the skull and crossbones.

A lot of the more attractive themes at say Themeforest for instance are simply HTML, CSS, and jquery. At this point you're only constricted by the ease of templating whichever CMS/thing you're using, whether WordPress, Drupal

Ok. I read your last sentence of, "At this point it's network effects and path dependence that keeps it at the top." as still alluding to PHP and cheap hosts as being responsible for WordPress's current position. As for

I don't see network effects or path dependence keeping it at the top. In fact its share of the universe of free open source CMS installs, has I believe been increasing in recent years. I think there is a shared experience out there tha

What exactly is ironic in this instance? It's not like the post was making a server recommendation.

One reason for the popularity of WordPress especially the self hosted version, "spaghetti" and all, is that many people have already learned that lesson. It's your content, put it on your domain and do with it what you will.

Is your Word formatting complicated enough that WordPress' "Paste as Word" button wouldn't take care of it?

Not a big deal. You just get access to a better tool through your Adwords account.

I'm happy about the mobile first approach. Simple things like 100% button widths is great. This was a modification I had to make to every Bootstrap site I built. I like the idea of having a single CDN for it too. Nice work. Oh, I owe i
