If you’re a WordPress user you need to check out the new Theme Customizer tool. I published an article and video on the Theme Customizer over at the lynda.com blog about a week ago. Here is the video and an excerpt. Head to the lynda.com blog for the whole piece with more info.

Of the many great reasons for using WordPress to create your web site or blog, one of the most important ones is that WordPress is an ever evolving platform. That means with every new version release you can expect to see either security and usability upgrades, or the addition of whole new features. In the case of the latest WordPress evolution–version 3.4, released for WordPress.com and WordPress for self-hosting–we see both regular security hole fixes and code patches, as well as some cool new features for site owners and developers. One feature in particular that is worth special mention is the new Theme Customizer.

Great video – already love WordPress – they’re updates keep me hooked. This one is particularly great for templates designers – gives them a way to make customization and editing much easier for users.

Thanks Jeremy! We’re working on more cool stuff, so stay tuned.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering
issues with your blog. It looks like some of the written text within your posts are running off the screen.
Can somebody else please provide feedback and
let me know if this is happening to them as well?

This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before. Cheers

I could not refrain from commenting. Perfectly written!

Thanks!

Hi Morten,

Just finished your WordPress 3: Building Child Themes on lynda.com. Another great course. I’m going to re-do it just to get it deeper into my head!

Hey, is there a way to subscribe to your blog? Maybe I just didn’t see the button.

Thanks for your contribution to my world!

Dan
