   Exceptional Video for sure, I’ll be working on editing all my plugins now to bring them up to spec.

   A couple of times during this presentation I mentioned Andrew Ozz, who is a core WordPress developer. The site and post I was actually referring to is by Ozh Richard, not Andrew. Guess I’ve been confusing those guys for a long time. Sorry about that Ozh.

   Nice discussions. Thanks!

   Any chance we can get a link to the actual presentation (s3 would be great!). I found the video stream frequently blurs out the slides at critical points (or shows That Guy(tm) instead of the slides…). D’oh! That Search Engine(tm) found it for me:

   Thanks again!

   Thanks for the tip about the plugins url function. I had no idea that existed!

   I normally define a new constant at the beginning of my file with the folder path and url and use that. But if there’s a built in function I guess I should be using that instead!
