Occasionally we like to showcase a few examples of creative WordPress implementations and this one was submitted by Grayson Pope who found the site while browsing: I was looking at this fairly new site from the people behind the Atlantic called Quartz. Here’s the link: http://qz.com/ It’s a really slick, mobile first strategy that scales up and down really nicely. It’s built on wordpress apparently, which I didn’t know.

Yummy! If you haven’t heard about the Liveblog Plugin then you may have already seen it in action here and here where we had two community members liveblog the WordCamp events. Was it a success?

Now that’s pretty darn cool. Our intention of adding liveblogging to our editorial efforts here is […]
Plugins: For Good or For Evil?

And for some it is truly a war that is going on in their minds and hearts! Take for instance Ben Gilbanks who is pondering what he should do in terms of a plugin that he is […]
WordPress Events: Why Not Roll Your Own?
Unless you’ve been under a rock you’re already aware of all the buzz going around WordCamps and the challenge that some are having in terms of being able to sponsor and present at these events. It’s been hashed and rehashed in so many different ways in the last few days and more intelligent people have been adding their thoughts to the pile of collective ideas that I have almost nothing left to contribute. But I’ve been thinking deeply about it not only because our team here at WP Daily is co-organizing a WordCamp but because at the heart of what everyone […]
