Marketplaces for WordPress themes and plugins aren’t going anywhere – in fact, we’ll probably see 100 more crop up this year at least with a few of them really coming into prominence. I’m not opposed to that as competition is a good thing that forces everyone to innovate and press even harder to create more value.

Embedding a Locu shortcode is as easy as a few clicks and their Locu-powered Menu will automatically appear on their site. I can imagine that this will be a boon for restaurant owners and site managers who are trying to maximize the limited amount of time […]

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Codeacademy.com As someone who is still learning to code and at a very basic level their “gamification” of the process of learn to code is great approach that uses proven psychology to motivate even the busiest people to learn.
