It’s the most wonderful time of the year: a new WordPress release is available and chock-full of goodies to delight bloggers and developers alike. We’re calling this one “Elvin” in honor of drummer Elvin Jones, who played with John Coltrane in addition to many others.
If you’ve been around WordPress a while, the most dramatic new change you’ll notice is a completely re-imagined flow for uploading photos and creating galleries. Media has long been a friction point and we’ve listened hard and given a lot of thought into crafting this new system. 3.5 includes a new default theme, Twenty Twelve, which has a very clean mobile-first responsive design and works fantastic as a base for a CMS site. Finally we’ve spent a lot of time refreshing the styles of the dashboard, updating everything to be Retina-ready with beautiful high resolution graphics, a new color picker, and streamlining a couple of fewer-used sections of the admin.

Next month, on April 8th, Windows XP users will experience their very last Patch Tuesday. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide updates of any kind. If you've been meaning to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, it's time to stop procrastinating and take action. As long as you have Windows Update currently enabled, the end of support for Windows XP ...
It's quite a change to hear Dianne Feinstein, the powerful chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, express outrage over warrantless and potentially illegal government spying. In an impassioned Senate floor speech yesterday, the California Democrat accused the CIA of criminal activity for allegedly searching computers used by Senate staffers. The CIA set up the computers at a secure location in northern ...
Here you can see those poor Christians being persecuted again. //// A federal judge has upheld a Missouri law requiring protesters to stay at least a football-field length away from funeral sites, beginning an hour before they start until an hour after the services end. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan Jr. caps a nearly eight-year legal fight over Missouri's funeral protest ...
Republicans are touting this as a huge victory but in reality they barely kept a seat securely held by the GOP for 40 years. The margin was less than 2 percent in a district where they are used to winning by 15 percent margins. This is not the moratorium against Obamacare that they will crudely finger paint it as. While the beltway will also ...
Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) is headed to the United Kingdom to speak at the Oxford Union, one of the world's oldest debating societies. The outgoing congresswoman's speech, to be given on Friday morning, is entitled "Seeds of Progress: The struggle between innovation and bureaucracy." According to her office, she will focus on how governments can check bureaucratic impulses that limit innovation and instead ...
If Hillary Clinton, or any woman, runs for president in 2016, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee argued she would need to be treated as a "special treasure" and with a "sense of pedestal." Huckabee told The New Republic, "I've twice run against women opponents, and it's a very different kind of approach. For those of us who have some chivalry left, there's a ...
Phyllis Schlafly has latched onto the news from December that the Marine Corps is delaying its toughened pull-up requirement for women, part of the preparation for allowing women to serve in combat roles. "Our enemies are tough, strong, vicious men ready to fight to the death, and we need real men to fight them, not girls who can't even do pull-ups," she added. ...
PayPal, a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay, serves as the main financial tool for transferring money to American hate groups, and it earns fees on every transaction that vary in size according to a variety of factors. Research conducted by the Intelligence Report finds that at least 69 of the hate groups listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) rely on PayPal ...
We need to care about this. Not only because it's the decent humanitarian thing to do, but also because these children are the future of Syria. If they're inured to the brutalities of war and permanently psychologically damaged, then it doesn't bode well for the entire area, which is extremely geopolitically important. Imagine if this was 5.5 million American children. Now stop and ...
NBC whopping 72 percent of Americans view Russia as an adversary rather than an ally, while more than six in 10 have a negative opinion toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Meanwhile, Americans are split on President Barack Obama's reaction to the Russian occupation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula - 43 percent approve and 40 percent disapprove ...
We Often Don't Get to PractiseBeing asked to do things you don't really want to do are also part of many people's growing up. Being told to kiss your nan, or holding someone's hand rather than being asked for instance. Being told to do stuff in school and not questioning why or you'll get in trouble. Also being told that young people can't ...
"When he came to Botafogo for a trial, he put the first ball he touched straight between my legs. A lot of people thought I would be offended but they were wrong. I told the directors there and then that they had to sign him. Fortunately, they listened to me." So said Nilton Santos of one of the most gifted players to have ...

This is hilarious. You just have to watch it. Between Two Ferns with Barack Obama Obama can meta almost as good as Galafianaikis. Too many zingers to list.
An amazing historic fortune to be had Ship Model, note the old pre propeller side wheel propulsion design. It carried one of the largest cargoes of gold ever lost at sea, so much so that it was nicknamed the "Ship of Gold." And now Odyssey Marine Exploration has been given court approval to recover what it can from the SS Central America. In 1857, ...
"The World's Only Reliable News," better than Russia Today and the Drudge Report combined! BOLSHAYA YELNIA - An all-female religious sect believe that Vladimir Putin is the reincarnation of St. Paul the Apostle. The religious sect of the Russian Orthodox church consists entirely of women, who meet in a small three story brick building in Bolshaya Yelnia, a small town near the Volga River. ...
Alas, our next generation of conservative leaders are not chanting, "Amer-i-ca! Amer-i-ca!" They are, instead, chanting, "F**k O-bama! F**k O-bama!" And I hang my head. So, now, children at the hotel, parents, staff, tourists - both foreign and domestic - and every other conceivable variety of guest who happens to be staying at the Gaylord National hotel during CPAC 2014 has a skewed, ...
This is incredibly sad. The poor baby did nothing to deserve this. I hope they actually do find a cure and find it soon. The sooner they're able to cure her, the greater the chance that they'll save her life. A second baby born with the AIDS virus may have had her infection put into remission and possibly cured by very early treatment -- ...
