He was also highly talked about in mid 2009 when he created a Digg-like website with the WordPress core called WPVote. This was without altering the core and not bridging in platforms like Pligg.

Jean-Baptiste is really busy and just seeing all the websites he blogs for, I was really lucky to catch up with him via email for an interview. Here was the interview…. hope you enjoy!

What I mean by totally uninstalling is that when you use your WordPress admin panel to delete the files, it does not always take away the database tables that were installed in the beginning. A couple I can think of up front, are Next Gen Gallery and WP Link Directory.

While it might not seem so important for most people, it is important to remove any resources that you do not plan to use on your webhosting space because it could prove to be a way to hack into later on in the future. If hacked, this can run up your resources and suspend, or with some webhosts, they may ask you to upgrade or say they cannot host you.

During mid-2009, WPVote.com was the talk amongst WordPress bloggers. Why? Because it was a site built with the WordPress core as a digg-like site. This was a break through for those who were still doubtful of the power of WordPress as a CMS.

When Jean-Baptiste did not have time to keep up WPVote.com, he left it in the capable hands of Bill Gillbanks (@binarymoon on Twitter.) Bill is the guy behind Binary Moon and he has created several popular and sleek WordPress themes and plugins.

WPVote.com is a social bookmark site for WordPress related articles and has been open since August 2008. Surprisingly, for those who did not know, WPVote.com was not always run solely on WordPress. It was run on Pligg, which has known issues to be spammed. Anyone who runs large sites with members who have to sign up, this is a pain!
