– Francis Tuttle uses this for their student web design classes
– on windows it does have memory leak issues so you have to restart more often WP does now support nested comments but your theme must support it Under media options you can choose to make YouTube videos auto-embed (I had to leave a little early to pick up for Boy Scouts) Sent from my iPhone – originally blogged with the Notes app, links and video embed code added later with MarsEdit

Thanks for mentioning the WordPress Weekly podcast within the WP Podcasts section. Always cool to find out the show or the site is being mentioned or talked about at these local WordPress meetups.
Shopp’s actually the current full ecommerce plugin we’re using. And, if I remember correctly, I called it something to the effect of “my current least unfavorite.”
But, as always, thanks for posting the notes!
Thanks – glad you noticed. Yours is my favorite podcast and I know it’s been difficult staying on a schedule with all the happenings in your family. However, I hope you can establish a routine going forward – maybe twice a month?? Take care.
