[Today Joost is joined by Chris Coyier, one of the authors of Digging into Wordpress and the founder of CSS Tricks. Chris and Joost talk about a lot of different subjects, ranging from their individual history with CSS sites to what Chris dubbed "the big three" updates in WordPress 3.0 (custom post types, menus, multi site) and how Chris designs a site./>

[Chris Pirillo has been a voice, early adopter and harbinger on the web for over a decade. He joins us on this week show to discuss the evolution that his career has taken as open source tools like WordPress also evolved since WordPress MU v1.0. We explored how to build community, manage communities and what specifically is the secret to making unique sites/communities on the web./>

[Joost and Frederick talk to Dougal Campbell, one of the original WordPress developers. They discuss various topics: from differences between WordPress and Drupal, and how they handle automatic testing and custom data types (for which WordPress has the upcoming custom post types and the pods plugin), to donations (or lack thereof) for plugins. They go in-depth about microformats and RDFa and how you could use the custom field functionality in WordPress (which Dougal wrote) to make use of those. Last but not least, WordPress 3 comes around the corner a couple of times, discussing all the cool new features in it (like author specific templates and background support) and what should and should not be in core, like multi site and multi domain settings./>

[Web developer Chris Pearson, who specializes in building detailed, robust WordPress themes, most notably the Thesis Wordpress theme, joins Joost and Frederick to discuss how he created Thesis to become the ultimate publishing platform on the web./>

[Joost and Frederick discuss the WordPress Advanced Ticket System, plus how WordPress and WordPress MU have merged and multi-site functionality wil be included in the upcoming Wordpress 3.0. />

[Joost welcomes the In-House Director of Search Engine Optimization for the Tribune Company, Brent Payne, who has over 7-years of experience in the search engine optimization field./>
