We’ve known for a little while that ManageWP has had something in the works, we just didn’t know exactly what. Until yesterday, that is, when they made their project available to those willing to submit their email address to get invited to test it out. Turns out I’m still waiting for my email invite, so I can’t give you my full opinion quite yet. But I can share with you my initial thoughts and reactions! Hmmm…another news site? That’s what I heard through the grapevine (aka saw on my Twitter feed) when I woke up yesterday morning. Upon further investigation, and after […]

It’s not because they don’t have one. […]

I was very excited to have the opportunity to review the plugin, as I have with the Video SEO and Local SEO add-ons. However, on my photography website and at Photocrati we do not use WooCommerce for anything. However, my brother runs […]

I am a freelance website designer/developer, and a WordPress developer and end user. While I have not written any plugins or designed any themes from the ground up, I have modified and tweaked some to my liking. I feel fairly comfortable and confident editing the code in the WordPress functions.php, template files, and plugin files to make them behave the way I’d like. Most of the sites I work on are for small businesses and local organizations. Not only do I create the initial design and build the website, I also do the routine maintenance and updating. The websites are […]
