Removing YouTube and Vimeo Shortcodes in WordPress
Quick Tip! If you’ve been using WordPress for a long time you might still be locked in to using a video embed plugin like I was a few hours ago. Yes plugins are great, but these days it’s part of the WordPress core. So how do you get rid of those YouTube and Vimeo shortcodes?

I'll be at Webrazzi Summit 2011 Istanbul
Conference after conference. I’ll be at Webrazzi Summit tomorrow (October 18th) at Point Hotel Barbaros in Istanbul. I’ve never been to the event before and I’ve actually never been to any conference in Istanbul so this is going to be a first, although hopefully the event will be all in English. The speakers list is quite impressive, with folks from Facebook, Yandex, PayPal...
I'll be at Google Developer Day 2011
I can’t believe this is the first post I’m writing here in September. I really have to do something with myself and my time management and in my defense I can only say Theme.fm is doing pretty good, but okay, this post is not about WordPress. This post is about my favorite tech conference — Google Developer Day and this year will be my third year in a row in Moscow. I’m...

I’m thinking yes since I’ve been using TextMate for a little longer...

Great News Folks! WordPress 3.2 is Here!
Right, go download it from the WordPress.org website. If you’re looking for a localized version it might be unavailable for a while so you’ll have to wait, although the Russian one has been shipped already. The new interface is fantastic, although I’m used to that already since I’ve been working with RC’s locally for a while. And the credits screen, ah the credits...
Fine Tuning Your WordPress Themes with Theme.fm
Hey there, long time no read eh? Well the reason to that is that I’ve been extremely busy with an exciting project, and today I’m glad to announce it, although it’s been launched last week.
