The Kickstarter project Ghost is in full-swing now as they’ve received their funds (it takes some time) and their able to expand their team and fully concentrate on building product. In an update sent late last night, John O’Nolan shares that they’ve also made their first full-time hire, Matthew Harrison-Jones: Hannah is currently working her last 2 days at MOO, after which she will be officially be on Ghost full time (!!). The Ghost Foundation has also made its first full-time hire in the form of Matthew Harrison-Jones, a recent graduate who has been helping us out all over the place this summer […]
Focus on Universities and WordPress
The educational arena has been using WordPress in growing numbers every year and even as I entertain one-off projects from time to time I have come to realize that many of the requests are from educational organizations. They see the power of WordPress and the opportunity to have high-impact, low-cost solutions which is a good thing since that saves more money for the educators and students that they are trying to serve. Two recent articles and features of note have passed through my reader and I thought it would be neat to draw some attention to them:
Envato, Themeforest Update Theme Submission Reqs
For those that are considering (or have been working with) Themeforest over these years then you’ll want to make sure you take notice of the update that they just released regarding the submissions guidelines and requirements for WordPress themes.

Scared of the Command Line? Not Anymore…!

But there’s a lot that you can learn about not only programming and computers in general but also WordPress. Some of you might actually find a bit of “fun” in the mix as well.

Webydo: Web Design Freely Done
The world of CMS solutions is getting wider, not smaller, every single day. For me it’s almost impossible for to pick and choose the ones to cover on occasion here otherwise myself (and you guys) would spend too much time checking out new apps instead of actually getting any work done! But this one’s worth a look (or two) and even perhaps considering for a future project.
