ContentRobot put our plugins - iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme and Google Website Optimizer Plugin - through their paces and we've deemed them to be WordPress 2.5 compatible! As always, the iWPhone plugin does not play nicely with WP-Super Cache (or any caching plugins), but there is no change to the installation and usage. Even […]
PSST! Did you know that up until recently that ContentRobot's company website had been running atop of *gasp* Drupal? Yes "the WordPress experts" finally converted to this superior platform when we launched our "naked theme" site last month. While we were hoping to be farther along and show off parts of our new look, we […]
Over the weekend, WordPress launched version 2.5. We have been playing with a beta copy and have been very impressed. If you check out WordPress.org, you'll even see new site design that aligns with what the software looks like.

Dubbed "New3Column2pt0," this simple shell contains very minimal styling and acts mainly to display the most basic 3 column functionality with an added Web 2.0 footer feature area. We have a collection of various "starter" themes with either one, two or three […]
Soon, the ContentRobot site will look very different; in fact, you'll think it's quite broken and that we are insane to not "fix it." But there is a method to our madness. Have you ever wondered what it was like to watch the evolution of a site being built? Do you know what it takes […]
Our last post described a very hairy week for ContentRobot. We had hoped that the weekend and a day of skiing would allow us to put it to rest and refresh. It worked! We were able to hit the slopes and remember that ContentRobot had successfully worked through our issues. Our
