The WPCandy Podcast

This week’s new WPCandy Podcast is all baked up and ready for you! In this week’s episode, Brian and I spend a few minutes talking about WordPress’ progress over the last 8 years, WordPress winning a Critter award, and the recent Mojo/Themify partnership. We also spend far too long relating theme frameworks to Betty Crocker, microwaves, and 300 year old cheese. Jump straight into the podcast audio here: Download audio file (WPCandy-Podcast-021.mp3) In link form, we discussed the following: * Brian’s “ship code” blog post * WordPress turned 8 years old * Mashable’s showcase of past WordPress Dashboards * WordPress wins a Critter (oh, and Disapora) * MOJO and Themify partnership Brian’s pick was a book on jQuery that he’s reading right now, and Ryan’s was the upcoming plugin from BraveNewCode called WordTwit Pro.
