![]() I have also carried on the good work of Mark Jaquith and his ‘Clutter Free’ plugin, to recently launch the ‘WP-CMS Post Control’ plugin over at which allows you to control what is displayed on the ‘write’ screens – 99% of users simply don’t need all those options and it goes one step further to making it easy to turn WordPress into more of a CMS type system. I run a site over at that is all about helping people adapt WordPress to use it as more of a CMS rather than blog – it hasn’t been running too long yet, but has some helpful info on it already. WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability… I couldn’t have put it better myself! Keeping the main codebase fairly light, with great opportunities for plugin developers and designers for customisation means we all get a flexible platform that’s a lean, mean publishing machine! ![]() ![]() Matt – great to see you supporting this cause! I recently attended WordCamp UK 2008 – and was overwhelmed by the number of people using WordPress as a CMS! I did a presentation called ‘WordPress is not a blog’ (also titled ‘WordPress is a blog… and a whole lot more!’) at WordCamp UK I think you would be surprised at the level of interest in this area!! ![]()

It’s Christmas Eve, 1959 in a small town in Australia, a scorching hot day, and Isabel wants to get her large family out of the house for a picnic. It’s one of those historical books that switches back and forth from the present day to the past, building suspense simply by delaying the ‘what happened that day’ as much as possible, but what makes this plot even more intricate are the various subplots and people that are combined to create a fulsome picture. Some people love the prospect of digging into a giant family saga such as this, but I was hesitant about the length.

For it was Sharma who took one of the catches of the season after looking like he was going to drop it for most of the time the ball was in the air.
