WordPress 3.3 in Final Stages (beta)
WordPress, my favourite content management system, is growing and developing faster than ever. I feel it has been just weeks ago, when 3.2 version was last published and here comes another improved version, 3.3. Its first beta has already been released, so lets dive into 10 most anticipated improvements, at least for me. 1. New media [...]
Improved Security and Faster Website Browsing with CloudFlare
For the whole past year, I’ve been experiencing issues with my blog, which you’re just reading – bizzartic.com. It went from hack attacks and pharma hacks to downtimes. As most site owners, I didn’t bother thinking about it, but two weeks ago I experienced a serious security threat, when net bot changed my .htaccess files. Only my front page [...]
“Google App Engine, Your Price Hike is Terrible!”
Not sure if you knew, but Google decided to leave App Engine preview phase and up the pricing. Not just slightly increase the price, like they do it in Fast Food restaurants, but sky rocket it, like from $9 a month to $270 a month, as this report suggests; or from $2.63 to $34.38 per day, [...]

Notepad++, my One and Only Programming Tool
Last week I had a meeting with a bunch of .NET programmers and noticed they all use Visual Studio for their projects development. As I know .NET to some extend, I know it’s quite hard to code C# with a simple tool like Notepad++, so I somewhat understand their enthusiasm about VS. I also experimented [...]
BuddyPress Failed after watching movie, The Social Network
Yesterday, I watched a movie, The Social Network, with my buddies. I’d say it’s a very good movie, especially for us – programmers, but very flawed as well. The screenplay was excellent, but portraying Mark as genius, just for coding a simple Friendster copy was a bit too much for me. I understand people are [...]

New Framework Teasers: Part 2
Another cycle of development has reached its goal: hierarchical layout engine. Since I started the development process, I wanted to develop a framework that would eliminate any need for custom hard-coded page templates and I’m extremely excited to announce that this is now developed and works like nothing you’ve seen before. New development opportunities layout [...]

BizzThemes Evolution … into Marketplace?
As lots of people have contacted me after I’ve announced this new theme framework, I’ve decided to test the idea of BizzThemes as a marketplace for a limited amount of designers. The idea is to have all themes built on bizz framework, so that designers will only code the styling and other theme specific functions. They’ll [...]
Paying to follow … and earning from it?
First of all, don’t take this as a bad thing as I have a feeling web surfers themselves are requesting for quality web products and services they are willing to pay for. I’m not being a snob here but quality does pay off, at least on the long-term. That’s why I am seriously considering a [...]
New Way of Using WordPress Themes
Since I started developing WordPress themes, I wondered, how I could make a framework simple enough, even 8-year old could use without problems. I started following what other guys were up to and ended up doing the same thing – a complex options panel that is disconnected from the actual code blocks. This way options [...]

WordPress Theme Market Idea – What do You Think?
Today, I thought about my whole WordPress involvement and how I got to the position I’m currently at. If I look back, I have to say my road was pretty bumpy and filled with many obstacles. I started as a freelance WordPress user and ended up as a professional WP theme developer and Usability expert. I’m [...]
