Downtime
I finally migrated from MediaTemple to Joyent, a change I’ve been trying to make for a few months now. I wonder how it’ll work out.
Speaking of change, I’m glad to announce the future availability of WP-o-Matic 1.0 with its new website (which has been in the oven for longer than a year!). You’ll see many new features, bugfixes, and the birth of a great little community.
I’ll be releasing two other small Wordpress plugins that developers will find specially useful. One of them is Base-Plugin, a template plugin architecture aimed to make your own plugins preparation easier. It features a very small template management system, it sets variables and functions that you might find yourself writing over time after time, and more.
And for those who wish to include details about their plugins hosted at Wordpress Extend in their websites, Extendfetch will be nothing short of amazing. It fetches and lets you display the number of downloads, links and it’s dead easy to integrate.

I bump here when trying to search criticism on Mediatemple. I have been looking new hosting that has faster response times (currently in Dreamhost) and it looks like Grid Server looks quite fast.
What made you leave from Mediatemple? -
Great work on WP-O-Matic..
It does everything I was looking for.. except one little (or for me BIG) thing… Enclosures!
I really would love to use this on my main Naked Brain Studios website, to combine all the feeds from our different productions into one main feed. So if someone wanted to get everything made by NakedBrainStudios.com, the main feed would have it all, post and enclosure, no need to find and subscribe to each show individually.
Again.. Props and thanks for your hard work on this project.

I’m really impressed with WP-o-Matic. Great work. Two features that I think would be very useful:
1) allow us to define tags for the posts based on some combination of fixed text, category name (the one we have defined for the post) and perhaps the title of the rss feed.
2) allow us to limit the about of the CONTENT to a fixed # of characters. I’m still not completely comfortable about the legality of posting a full RSS article — assuming the RSS contains full articles.
Again, thanks for a wonderful plugin.

I’m a greenee, so don’t laugh, but when I use wpomatic, I upload it into my plugin file and activate it, but cant configure it. I can’t find any place to put my rss feeds in wpomatic, and when I use the rss widget it puts my feed into the sidebar. what am I doing wrong?

Really grat news. Excellent to hear that you are well on the way. Since I am currently working on my own little Wordpress plugin (my first as well) I would be very curious to hear more about the Base-Plugin and Extendfetch plugins as well.
Best of luck to you, and looking forward to reading more about the final release of WP-o-Matic … It sure has been a while in the making, eh?

Very cool! Was just thinking about WP-o-Matic. Hosting switches are difficult, glad to hear you made it through. Looking forward to the new stuff, sounds great!!

I am thourally impressed by your knowledge of wordpress.
My husband and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so. As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. http://www.nomadbackpackers.com
We are definately beginers at everything!
We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.
Thanks,
Natalie
I use your plugin on my blog too. I’d have to say as for time saving plugins yours is right up there with the recent release of the new analytics plugin. Good luck with the new hosting company!
