<p><strong>Description</strong>: Your Home Professionals is a recent startup focused on providing listings of high quality home professionals in local market areas. Allowing only five screened vendors per category, Your Home Professionals is able to ensure the quality and professionalism of its listed vendors.</p>
<p><strong>What I Did:</strong> This was a unique project. Initially considering building a custom platform, I recommended that we explore the possibility of using Magento Community Edition to facilitate the site, despite the lack of e-commerce features. What we were able to leverage though saved significant time. The product catalog was used to house business listings since desired features like reviews and custom attribution were there out of the gate. Since the site is going to include more and more market areas over time, Magento&#8217;s multiple website functionality was a natural fit combined with a geolocation service to send visitors to the nearest market area. Being able to use the core of Magento with basic features such as the overall framework, caching, and functionality went along way toward allowing a very robust site to be built at a fraction of the cost of a custom build out. This project was completed on behalf of <a href="http://www.brianjosephstudios.com/" target="_blank">Brian Joseph Studios</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I just applied a new design to the site (again). It seems like every blue moon that I actually post on is to announce an update to the design.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve received a few emails lately about the <a href="http://www.michaelgrosser.com/extensions/wp-extended-api/">WordPress Extended API Extension</a> needing a few updates. I&#8217;ll be taking care of those in the coming weeks. I&#8217;ll announce it here when it&#8217;s finished.</p>
<p>Sorry for the lack of updates for those looking for new info and/or extensions, it&#8217;s been a busy year, but in a good way!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WordPress has a very handy XML RPC API for connecting to and interacting with WordPress from a remote website or application. But it has some limits and, arguably, flaws. The fist major issue with it that I found is that method names in the API are very often different from method names in the WordPress codebase. So where I might type get_post(10) in a file inside WordPress to get post ID 10, in the standard API I&#8217;d have to type getPost in the request. Not a huge issue, but I like consistency.</p>
<p>Second, there are some things that you just can&#8217;t do in the standard API. A good example is setting post meta data. The standard <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_wp">WordPress API</a> has no method by which to accomplish this. Using my plugin, every single function typically accessed through WordPress can be accessed through the API. Here&#8217;s a quick list of features my plugin currently offers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Custom Namespaces</li>
<li>Selection of which functions are available/not available via the API</li>
<li>Username/Password authentication</li>
<li>Access to the entire WordPress codebase&#8217;s functions</li>
</ul>
<p>You can download it here: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-xml-rpc-api/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-xml-rpc-api/</a>. It&#8217;s free, but if you&#8217;d like to donate to the cause:</p>
