When it comes to search, WordPress isn’t always the best tool right out of the box. It’s a problem that the WordPress team is aware of, but a tough one to solve. By default, any pages featuring a searched keyword will be listed in results by date order, not by relevance. It can get the job done, but it’s far from the best solution. I recently heard about the premium plugin SearchWP, which aims to improve this. It has a simple tagline: The Best WordPress Search Plugin You Can Find Bold, perhaps, but it has all the signs of a […]

As a human-type, I like things like food, clothing, shelter…and coding. Although it would be nice to live in a cave, throwing pointy sticks at other members of the food chain, my family—and stomach—may grow impatient. So instead, I am a developer. I do have my own little cave where I chip away at the code that is my livelihood, like my Neanderthal ancestors chipping away at an obsidian blade. He was a specialist too, cousin Og. Making blades, spear points and other hurty-type tools for his clan. I wonder though, when someone came to him and said, “Hey, that knife you […]

Put a bunch of developers in a room, provide food and wi-fi, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist (although one might be present) to conclude that tech conferences can be both fun and educational. However, it’s a different story for someone to actually want to start and organize a conference. You’ll need a desire and understanding of the many moving parts. Planning a big event is stressful; it’s not for the faint of heart. That’s what I realized about 4 years ago when I (along with a few others) wanted to bring a WordCamp to Florida. Fast forward to 2013 and […]

If you follow many WordPress blogs and news sites you’ll know by now that Pressgram is in the wild—released into the iOS App store at the end of last week. Starting life as a Kickstarter project launched by John Saddington, Pressgram promised to be a couple of things. One, a direct response and alternative to Instagram’s new policies around the images that are submitted to their service. And secondly, a simple way to connect the dots for the many WordPress users who’d like a way to quickly and easily take photos on your smartphone and send them to your WordPress […]
