The much-anticipated book about the ins and outs of WordPress is finally here. Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr released Digging into WordPress today. Currently, the PDF version is available for immediate download for $27.
I suggest you pick up this book if you’re new to WordPress or if you’ve been using it for a while. Chris is great at explaining how web-related concepts work at CSS Tricks. He joins Jeff Star in this project, and the professionalism in the product is stunning.

So I wanted to have a table with zebra stripes in a WordPress installation. I found a quick and full-featured plugin that allows the stripes, plus so much more.
WP-Table Reloaded will let you import a table from a CSV, HTML or XML file. You can enter the cell data directly into the admin page. You can swap column or row order with minimal effort. You can hide or show columns or rows.

It seems the search engine market is becoming competitive again. In response to the recent release of Microsoft’s ‘decision engine’ Bing, Google is stepping up their game.
Competition breeds innovation, proof that capitalism works.
This week, Google released their new sandbox search engine, nicknamed ‘Caffeine’. In my initial tests, it seems Caffeine results are focused more on articles and web pages, not video or news results. Youtube and news items are typically still on the first page, but they are further down instead of always sticking to the top.
It seems you can’t saturate your Youtube video description with keywords anymore. Content is king.
