There’s a new WordPress book doing the rounds, aimed at serious bloggers who are either using WordPress to promote their business, or trying to make an income directly from blogging.
‘WordPress 3 for Business Bloggers’, written by Paul Thewlis, has been released in both eBook and ‘dead tree format’ by Packt Publishing.
In this economy it’s important to find ways to help your resume or business stand out when looking for work. zeeBizzCard is one of the latest free resume themes to hit the WordPress Theme Directory and it offers an easy way to get your resume online quickly with an attractive layout, integrated blog, and portfolio. The best part is that there’s no coding knowledge required whatsoever. It’s easy to set up and it won’t cost you anything.

Have you submitted a WordPress Question yet? The competition is running all week, and we’re handing out a three month membership at WPMU DEV for every question that we publish here on the blog.
Today’s WordPress Question
This stickler was sent to us from a WPMU reader by the name of Ayub:
I’ve upgraded from WordPress 3.2.1 to WordPress 3.3, and found that all my categories, custom post types and posts are showing a 404 error, whereas my pages and queries are working fine.
This is my custom permalink setting: (“/%year%/%category%/%postname%.html”)

Cats Who Code
UPDATE: The competition is on again! Please check out the new article and submit your WordPress question there.
Every day this week we’ll be asking for questions from you – our dear readers – on anything to do with WordPress. The trickier the question, the better. Tell us about a WordPress problem that would like to have solved. Your question might be something to do with:
Style and design issues
WordPress theme development
Plugin development
WordPress hosting and server issues
Anything else about WP!
You name it – the only real criteria are that:
Your question is directly related to WordPress (not general web design or blogging stuff).
Graph Paper Press announced today that they have launched a suite of responsive WordPress themes. These themes have been updated to adapt to the screen sizes of iPhones, iPads and other mobile devices. Graph Paper Press now has six responsive themes available:
The Mixfolio theme is actually free, so anyone can sign up and download it. It features a cool mix and shuffle for posts on the homepage in the recent work section without leaving the page, as well as post formats support and an options panel.
Let’s face it – documentation can be a huge pain to write and organize. There aren’t a lot of tools out there for people who have the task of documenting their themes, plugins, products and other pieces of software. That’s why I wanted to let you know about Easy Docs. It’s a free theme from Shaken & Stirred WordPress themes, created specifically for writing documentation.
This theme has a very simple structure, featuring:
A page for documentation with a simple way to navigate between sections
A basic page template for simple pages like a Changelog
Yesterday came the launch of Google+ Pages, and I showed you how to integrate Google+ with your WordPress installation. Of course, it being Google you had to add some code to your theme file to get it up and running correctly. This means that if you change your theme your code will disappear and Google will stop tracking your +1s.
What if you had a plugin that you could drop your code snippet into rather than having to fiddle around in your theme files?
And what If that plugin was able to add a Google +1 badge to your website?
