It's been a busy few days for shortcodes. Most, if not all, core committers and project leads would tell you that they'd rather burn the shortcodes API than anything else. But it's one of those things that exists and now…

Design

Of course we all expected a new default theme soon enough, as the naming scheme demands; I had my money that it would be part of 4.5 early next year. It was announced yesterday with a design proposal complete, and will likely go into…
