WordPress niche hosting is getting hot with more and more companies finding their “fit” within the much larger hosting world. We’ve covered Flywheel before, especially with their announcement that they had in fact had raised venture capital, which means they are poised for some big growth in the coming months. Well, we just got notice that the beta codes that they had been teasing are now in the wild! If you’ve signed up then you may already have it in your hot little hands. They are releasing about 200 beta codes each day until every gets in, which is understandable […]
Shiny! Mike Jolley's WP Job Manager Plugin
It hasn’t even been a full week since we launched our new job board for this community and we’ve already seen thousands of pageviews and a handful of jobs every single day get published. Honestly, it’s a bit tough to add yet another system in place for us but without question it’s creating value for others and so it’s worth it to us to keep doing it. As we had shared in our launch post the current iteration is strictly our MVP attempt to get it off the ground – we’re not using much more out of the box than a slightly […]
Comprehensive Recap of WordCamp Milwaukee 2013
Every month there are tons of people gathered together at local WordCamps and it’s tough to keep track of all the great content that’s being shared and especially all the presentations and learnings that are being had. So it’s nice to see decent roundups that help provide a one-stop shop for all the presentations at an event, or at least a compiled list of the ones that really knocked it out of the park.

In some industries it’s just accepted as fact and no one really thinks about them in terms of a monopoly (which we know isn’t “fair” or “good” except if it’s the board game) – and yet we’re quite fine with an oligopoly which is where there is a state of limited competition and in which a market is shared by a […]
Better Subscriptions to Trac Tickets? Yes Plz.
Anyone who’s subscribe to any of core trac or wp-svn knows that there is a lot that’s getting sent around to inboxes everywhere. Most likely you have your own inbox/email rules setup so you don’t drown in some of the information and data-flow that can be quite large at times. Although there is already a decent of signal-to-noise ratio, to a certain extent this is just part of being subscribed to those hoses and there’s very little you can do about it. This is why it’s pretty important that those that manage and oversee those distros and lists keep them clean and […]
