Code Poet has just relaunched, and it is now so much more than the directory of WordPress professionals that it was before. If you build anything with WordPress, Code Poet is now on the fast track to be your one stop shop for resources and information.

Today, Code Poet features free eBooks from WordPress professionals, interviews with WordPress professionals, useful resources from the WordPress community, and a handy quiz to test your WordPress knowledge. As you can imagine, Code Poet is gearing up to be a massive resource build by WordPress professionals for WordPress professionals and aspiring power users.

If you’re still looking to hire someone, the Code Poet Directory still exists, and aspiring Code Poets can still apply to be part of the prestigious directory.

Head over to the new Code Poet, grab a free eBook for the road, and take the quiz right away. How did you do on the quiz, and what do you think of the newly relaunched Code Poet?

Updated plugins

As we continue our mission to help prepare your websites for the huge increase in mobile and tablet users on the web, the next theme to be made responsive is Nova. As a responsive design, Nova will now adapt to your visitors screen size in order to best display your content. If your visitors view your website on an iPhone, for example, the design will adapt and re-arrange the content on your page to insure that your visitor will not have to zoom and scroll around to read your page.

The design will also function great on tablets, such as the iPad. Furthermore, the design comes with formats for both portrait and landscape modes for smartphones and tables alike.

Mobile represents a huge shift in the way we consume the internet. I am happy that we can show initiative in  getting our customer’s websites ready, and I hope that all of our Nova users enjoy the update! Let us know what you think

The WordPress core team is pulling out all the stops this year and shooting for a big summit to be attended by prominent contributors and community members.

Instead of the traditional meet up, which is typically attended by only the core developers and their chosen guests, the core team is now looking for your nominations to decide who will attend the first ever WordPress Community Summit. The Summit will allow the core developers to get to work with the best and brightest of the WordPress community (support forum volunteers, the Theme Review Team, volunteer documentation editors, community organizers, theme shops, etc.), and who knows what amazing things they’ll come up with when they put their heads together!

If you have any favorite community members or companies, even that lone support forum volunteer who rescued your blog, make sure that you leave a nomination for them right away. Sure, you can nominate yourself too, but do be a good sport and nominate at least one other person or company.
