Earlier this year I launched a new set of WordPress packages & services to give clients better access to WordPress driven sites and support. After several months of putting these services into action, I’ve restructured them with new pricing and a few new, better defined services to make your WordPress Experience even better. Read more about the new packages, support, and update services after the jump.

A few weeks ago, WordPress 3.0 came out, introducing some nice new features for both developers and users of the platform. At Manifest Development, WordPress is my primary platform to work on and I offer several services specializing in the development and maintenance of WordPress driven sites. One of these services is a WordPress  Tune Up, aimed at keeping your WordPress site secured, updated, and backed-up.

To celebrate WordPress 3.0, on top of all the great services a WordPress Tune Up offers, Manifest Development is adding the activation and set-up of custom navigation menus. Before 3.0, in order to change the main navigation on your website you needed extra functionality or you would need to hire a developer to do it. Now as long as your website supports it, you can change your own navigations menus on the fly right from the WordPress admin panel. Manifest Development will make sure you theme supports these custom menus as part of the WordPress Tune Up from 2.9 to 3.0.

Back in January I officially released my first WordPress plugin, Gloss. It’s a simple glossary management plugin. I worked on it for a few weeks after release and then let it go as my final semester of grad school got very busy. Today, I’m very happy to announce Gloss 0.5. In this version I made some small fixes and optimizations, as well as the ability to edit the name of an existing Glossary. But it’s with this release that I am also announcing Gloss 1.0, which will have some major updates, including:

• The ability to page glossaries by Letter
• Support for languages other than English
• The ability to link to terms
• Code refactoring and optimizations

You can look for that to be released late July/early August. If you have suggestions, or any code contributions, feel free to contact me. In the mean time, check out Gloss’s web page here, or  the official WordPress page.

If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, you’re going to want to click through- Manifest Development has a new face! Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a new website that accomplished a few specific goals: have a cleaner design that integrates the new logo, have a theme that is more general and easier to update, and be more blog friendly. I think I’ve managed to hit all of those goals.
