WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate 1
With the release of RC1, we’re in the final leg of development before the release of 2.7. 280 commits since beta 3 have polished the new admin UI (including new menu icons created by the winners of our icon design contest) and fixed all known blocker bugs. We think RC1 is ready for everyone to try out. Please download RC1 and help us make the final release the best it can be. As always, back up your blog before upgrading.

Beyond Twitter: Tweetsuite & Tweetbacks
Every one is aware of Twitter, I hope. Well there are many, many plugins for your WordPress that you can use. So I am not going to be like every one else and write a post with 3o twitter plugins for WordPress. I am just going to talk about one special plugin that is hitting the WP community.
Tweet Suite: a Twitter-WordPress integration plugin that includes the following features:
- Server-side (no-JS or remote calls) TweetBacks
- ReTweet-This buttons for each TweetBack
- A digg-like Tweet-This Button
- Automatic Tweeting of new posts
- A Most-Tweeted Widget
- A Recently-Tweeted Widget
- A My-Last-Tweets Widget
- A My-Favorite-Tweets Widget
You can see it in action at JeanaSays. I may even use this plugin on this site!!
Known Issues:
Seems as though this plugin is not compatible with this Google Analytics plugin. *Thanks to Shayne Sanderson for pointing this out.

How to: Show/Hide any div box with jQuery in WordPress
If you take a look at my current sidebar (right) and see the heading Google Search you’ll notice that when you click it the Google Search box show’s into view.
Let me show you how this is done.
First make sure that your WordPress site is calling jQuery, buy pluggin this code into our header.php
file above the <?php wp_head(); ?>
text:
<?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
Then anywhere above the </head
>, plug this code in:
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { // hides the slickbox as soon as the DOM is ready jQuery('#toggle-search').hide(); // toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link jQuery('a#slick-slidetoggle').click(function() { jQuery('#toggle-search').slideToggle(400); return false; }); }); </script>
That’s simple, huh. Okay now lets write the Search code:
<h2><a href="#" id="slick-slidetoggle">Google Search</a></h2> <div id="toggle-search" style="padding:10px;"> <form method="get" id="search" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/"> <div> <input type="text" value="Enter Keyword" onclick="this.value='';" name="s" id="s" /> <input type="text" name="search-button" id="search-button" value="<?php _e('Search') ?>" /> </div> </form> </div>
That’s it.
