Upload Images to Comments!
Occasionally Tom, our Technical Editor here at WP Daily,does something good enough to make it here on the blog (just kidding!) and he’s recently made an updated to one of his plugins, Comment Images, that I thought we’d try here on the blog. What is it? Simple enough: Enables your readers to easily add images to their comments. There’s not much more to it to be honest. I uploaded it this morning and I gave it a quick test – it works, as intended:

Looking for 2 Volunteers for GSoC!
Jen Mylo shared on the Make Community boards that they are looking for two serious volunteers to help administrate GSoC: Will need two volunteers to be the admins for GSoC, overseeing our application, mentor wrangling, and if we get selected, student wrangling. Good project management skills required, familiarity with core contributors a plus. The admin volunteers would be coordinated via the community group and would work with devs across core, themes, and plugins as needed. This would be some serious work but if you’ve got some time it could be an incredible help. Note that you would really need to know the core […]

So, What the Heck is CoSchedule?
Received a tip the other day about a very a neat application (or plugin?) that’s going to be released that appears to be marketed as a management system for online marketing, called CoSchedule. For example, you’ll be able to have a team-oriented approach to your marketing calendar so as to not duplicate effort and to timely release news and marketing collateral to your segment, users, and community.

The Pagely Yeti and Luke Skywalker
Did Mark Hamill know that he’d ever meet a Pagely Yeti? I guess not. I honestly have no earthy idea what they were thinking but it’s kind of cool. Whatever it is, I want one.

We’ve done this before and it’s always neat to see where (and how) some people do their work. Here are some of the neat ones showcased:
