Announcing ReviewPress

Aside

Today im announcing ReviewPress, a plugin for easier writing and managing reviews on your WordPress based weblog or website.

ReviewPress adds the following functions to WordPress:

  • Reviews as custom post type
  • Review categories
  • Review tags
  • Microformat support (hReview 0.3 support and support for Google Rich Snippets)
  • Link to the source of the review (like a product)

The initial public release of ReviewPress will be done this month – August 2011.

ReviewPress will be free of charge and licensed under the GPL2 license.

WordPress 3.2 gets HTML 5 support

Aside

Yesterday a WordPress patch improved HTML 5 compatibility by adding the following tags to the TinyMCE editor:

  • noscript, embed
  • menu, samp, header, footer, article, section, hgroup, nac, aside, details, summary, audio, canvas, command, datalist, figcaption, figure, keygen, mark, meter, output, progress, source, time, video, wbr

It also added some extra HTML colours and contains  some optimalisations.

This patch will not be applied in WordPress 3.1, so you will have to wait for WordPress 3.2.
Or use some haxx patching like I do.
