Today is a milestone for us as the core partners are all hanging out in our new office together. As I mentioned in a previous post we have been and will continue to be a very distributed team but we are spending more time together to make even better progress on our core products and, of course, this blog. This is going to be a big season for us as a group as it’s a ‘make it or break it’ year for us in terms of our core metrics of business success – we’ve been together for 3 years and counting and although […]
iOS 3.4: Introducing Notifications
I got another update last night as I went to review some comments on my iPhone and it appeared that the WordPress for iOS has hit the 3.4 mile marker with some big updates!
