We love read­ing the dis­cus­sions that develop on Answers. We love the fresh and inno­v­a­tive dev solution’s, the some­times heated dis­cus­sions over age old issues and appre­ci­ate all of the inspi­ra­tion that is offered by Answers’ users.
Some­times though, we come across a ques­tion that is nei­ther con­tro­ver­sial nor dif­fi­cult to answer. And that is the point of Answers, its not just about the tricky ques­tions and com­plex solu­tions within web design, it is also there to help begin­ners and ama­teurs. And that is what we would like to high­light in this post.

You can leave your thoughts on this topic in the com­ment sec­tion below or you can leave your solu­tion on the orig­i­nal ques­tion here: Why do Some Peo­ple Use HTM Rather Than HTML? on Answers.

Why do Some Peo­ple Use HTM Rather Than HTML?

Best Answer from Scun­liffe:

My boss asked me this very ques­tion just the other day. The finan­cial appli­ca­tion sys­tem we use requires “.htm” and he was won­der­ing why the devel­op­ers chose one over the other. [Gregbo]

Word­Press 3.0, the thir­teenth major release of Word­Press and the cul­mi­na­tion of half a year of work by 218 con­trib­u­tors, is now avail­able for down­load (or upgrade within your dash­board). Major new fea­tures in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme devel­op­ers have new APIs that allow them to eas­ily imple­ment cus­tom back­grounds, head­ers, short­links, menus (no more file edit­ing), post types, and tax­onomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Devel­op­ers and net­work admins will appre­ci­ate the long-awaited merge of MU and Word­Press, cre­at­ing the new multi-site func­tion­al­ity which makes it pos­si­ble to run one blog or ten mil­lion from the same instal­la­tion. As a user, you will love the new lighter inter­face, the con­tex­tual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and fea­ture enhance­ments, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plu­g­ins at once with a sin­gle click, and blah blah blah just watch the video.

For a more com­pre­hen­sive look at every­thing that has improved in 3.0 check out 3.0’s Codex page or the long list of issues in Trac. (We’re try­ing to keep these announce­ment posts shorter.) Whew! That’s a lot packed into one release. I can’t think of a bet­ter way to kick off the 3.X cycle we’ll be in for the next two and a half years.

Eas­ier menu sup­port = Pure Awe­some­ness!! [Gregbo]

Twitter’s adding a fea­ture called Places which allows you to asso­ciate tweets with loca­tions. Along with this fea­ture, the com­pany is also rolling out the cor­re­spond­ing API as well as Gowalla and Foursquare inte­gra­tion. [Twit­ter]
