Podcasts are very clearly on the rise. A study done by Marketing Podcasts revealed that iTunes has over a quarter of a million podcasts on it, up from 200,000 in 2010. In fact, iTunes boasts of a billion subscriptions to various podcasts via its app. What’s more, roughly 30% of all Americans have listened to a podcast, and 15% have listened to at least one within the past month. So evidently, podcasts are fast becoming a preferred way to digest content — and the trend is no different in the WordPress industry. Not only are there many different podcast networks […]

WordPress events are invaluable to the success of WordPress and its community.

Despite the relative affordability of tickets, there are several other costs to consider when attending a WordCamp — travel and accommodations being two of the most notable costs. WordCrash.net is a new service that helps cut the costs of attending a WordCamp and build relationships with others in the WordPress community by allowing “traveling WordPressers to view a list of friendly folks across the globe who are willing to offer free accommodations and […]

Since its release, WordPress has cultivated a growing community of enthusiasts, users, and developers. It is a recent trendsetter in work ethics and principles, where people are making contributions in the form of plugins, themes, frameworks, and more. WordPress was about five years old when I first learned about it. During the seven years I’ve been a part of this community, I’ve seen people selflessly […]

On Monday, Pippin Williamson announced that WordPress.org is changing their guidelines for acceptable plugin names for plugins submitted to the official repository. Going forward, plugin developers will not be able to use a trademarked product name or term, company name, or other plugins’ name as their plugin’s name or slug — unless you are representing the company who owns the trademark or plugin in an official capacity or have written permission from the company. If you fail to meet these guidelines, your plugin will be rejected. To verify you work for, own, or represent the company in question, you must submit […]

WordPress provides a solid foundation from which we can explore seemingly endless opportunities. Even when I was totally new to PHP development, I was still able to conduct experiments using WordPress. This got me started as a developer and in turn helped me learn PHP and JavaScript. Before last summer, I had no experience working with RESTful APIs. But then I got introduced to the WordPress REST API, and suddenly had a good way (and reason) to learn how to use RESTful APIs. That’s what I love so much about WordPress. Recently I’ve been teaching myself to use the Symfony router […]
