WordPress Wednesday: Scheduled Posts February 4th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PDT
There are dozens of awesome features in the WordPress CMS, but one of my favorites is the ability to schedule a post for future publication.

WordPress Wednesday: LaunchPad January 28th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PDT
LaunchPad is a killer WordPress “domain parking” theme. It’s the perfect way to let visitors know that something cool is “coming soon” when you’ve registered a domain name but haven’t yet had a chance to actually build anything.
