This has been a pretty light week in terms of news and breaking stories which is natural because of the holidays. I actually appreciate it because it makes my life a bit easier as an editors job is really never quite done and never really stops, especially if you’re attempting to launch a new venture in the news vertical.
Which is what we’re trying to do!
So my team has taken some time off but we’re working (just like a lot of you) and keeping our eyes on our inboxes. It’s not incredibly ideal but it is what it is, right? At some point I’ll get to hire those blogging interns that we want to have on our team (and hanging out at our new editorial office) and they’ll be able to work the nights and weekends!
Hah! Ah, the glorious job of an intern…
We’ve got 13 links in this roundup, FYI.
Moving on, here are some of the best stories that we’ve wrangled for you in the past 168 hours:
1. Debug This WordPress Plugin
Looks to be a great resource for developers. It’s gotten some great press already and my initial tests are very positive.
2. Going Pro with WordPress via Brad McCarty
A great presentation via Brad (who I’ve had a digital relationship with for some time) and who shares his thoughts on how WordPress has really changed the trajectory of his life and work.
On a sidenote, Brad’s the real deal – honest, humble, and a great guy to work with. It’s been a pleasure to see him help The Next Web achieve some incredible growth. Way to go Brad.
30% off you say? Oh yeah.

5. Integrating Stripe into Your WordPress Blog
Pippin finishes off his 9 part series on Stripe integration. Wow.
6. WordPress to Lead Generation
WPMU shares a few thoughts on how to create an incredible “funnel” of sales using Salesforce.
7. A Simple Reminder of Things to Do Before Updating WordPress
Doesn’t get any more simple than this. Unfortunately most people don’t do these things which is why there’s an incredible industry of WordPress support services that exist.
I guess that’s a plus for WordPress professionals, right?
For those that love to stay in the loop with how mobile development is going via Make.WordPress.
9. How to Publish Your Theme to ThemeForest – A Roadmap
