Liferay LIVE Session Details
Date: July 14, 2010
Time: 10AM PT (5PM GMT)

The future is now, folks. You can now go to your My Blogs tab, enable Post by Voice, and get a special number and code to call your blog. After you’re done, the audio file from your phone call will be posted to your blog for all to listen to and enjoy. (And added to your RSS feed for podcast support.)

So now you can post to your WordPress via the web, email, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, desktop clients, and now any telephone in the world. Of course when you post it can be pushed to Facebook, Twitter, and more using the Publicize feature. What more could you want?

Right now this is completely free, We’re making it free and allowing recording lengths up to sixty minutes, but that limit may go down without a paid upgrade in the future. Mostly we’re just curious to see how people use this.

I have a few ideas myself, but to find out you’ll have to listen to this voice post:

Sun-Liferay Background

This session is for cutomers of Sun Java System Portal Server and Sun Web Space Server to help them determine their best course of action following the Oracle acquisition of Sun. In 2007, Liferay Portal was chosen by the Sun Microsystems product team to replace the Sun Java System Portal Server. The Sun engineering team worked with the Liferay community to release a Sun-supported version of Liferay Portal called the Sun Web Space Server and then initiated an End of Life (EOL) process for the Sun Java System Portal Server.  With the acquisition of Sun by Oracle, customers of both Sun products now face an End of Feature Life, which means customers will not benefit from new development for either platform. Liferay’s upcoming releases provide a substantial improvement in performance, quality, support, and feature set over Sun’s former products.

SPECIAL OFFER: One Year Free for Sun Portal Customers
For a limited time, Liferay, Inc. will offer users of Sun Portal and Sun Web Space Server one year of FREE enterprise support.

This offer is through our new “Design with Liferay” Program, created to help enterprises worldwide efficiently manage their transition to a new platform. Rather than a migration program, the Design with Liferay program helps customers implement Liferay at lower cost and risk.

Please email sales@liferay.com or attend our free Liferay LIVE web event to learn more, including:

• The background of the Sun Portal and Sun Web Space roadmap
• Specific important Liferay features
• How the “Design with Liferay” program can help Sun customers plan for the future

Among the features listed in the official blog post: a default theme called Twenty Ten (the old default was looking quite dated), a lighter interface, and 1,217 bug fixes. Theming has gotten quite a bit of attention, with APIs that make it easier for theme designers to allow for customized menus, post types, headings, backgrounds, and more.

Another big change is the fusing of WordPress Multi User (MU) and the core WordPress install. WordPress MU is a fork of WordPress that allows for one install to administer multiple (even millions) of blogs, but until now it was separate from ‘regular’ WordPress. Now you’ll get the functionality of both from the same install.

One other interesting point: the WordPress blog notes that the team is going to “take a release cycle off” to focus on the things “around WordPress” as opposed to the platform itself. From the post:

Over the next three months we’re going to split into ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and compatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless.

Here’s a video showcasing some of 3.0′s new features:

For a look at how WordPress has evolved, check out our post detailing WordPress 2.0, which we covered back in December 2005.

WordPress is a simple and easy blog , where as ExpressionEngine is a professional CMS, where many features will come built in package. For WordPress we need can add all the features by different plug-ins.

This is just the initial version of comparation, I will update this with the plugin links and many features available in WordPress

Unical Blog is one of the millions of blogs hosted on WordPress.com (not to be confused with sites that run the WordPress software but are hosted elsewhere). All told, some 10.2 million blogs went down — wiping out some 5.5 million pageviews, WordPress estimates. This was their worst outage in 4 years.

So what happened?

Mullenweg says WordPress is still gathering details but their initial diagnosis is that “an unscheduled change to a core router by one of our datacenter providers messed up our network in a way we haven’t experienced before, and broke the site.” He notes that this also tripped up all the mechanisms to prevent a total failure, so that occurred. Luckily, no data was lost in the outage, it just simply could not be sent out.

Mullenweg ends with, “I hope it will be much longer than four years before we face a problem like this again.” So say we all.
