Unexpected Wednesday Newsies

This week my blog schedule has been a little changed, first with the postponed he said – she said post and now with something cool on track for tomorrow. So for that reason I’m postponing the posting of the general article or showcase for Wednesdays to tomorrow for this week! Stay tuned! ;)

• An app store tracking and rating website called Apptism is beginning to report that over 20,000 apps are now online in the Apple App Store. Only three months after hitting the big 10,000 applications—which in and of itself didn’t take more than six months—the store has doubled that amount!
   
• The InstantShift website has a great article listing 30 Great WordPress Comments Page Hacks. The hacks that you can do to your comments page include specific comment styling, giving the comments new features and many more cool things! Check it out!
   
•  If you are a blogger and also using Lightroom you might want to check out a cool new plugin by plugin-veteran Timothy Armes. His newest plugin called LR2/Blog is designed to post images to blogs that are using the MetaWebLogs standard. Among the systems using this standard is WordPress which should make this plugin perfect for anyone that is using WordPress for photoblogging (as an example).
   
• Nikon has released a new lens this week. It’s an AF-S 35mm ƒ/1.8 G lens made for the DX format. It sports a focus motor in the lens and is clearly meant for anyone that has been having their eyes on a fixed 50 1.8 but this one made for the DX cameras, giving an equivalent focal length of around 50mm, this while as said providing internal focusing for the latest bodies.
