There has been little secret about the issues between WordPress.org proper and Envato and the various and different interpretations to GPL, licensing, and distribution/ownership rights. But the battle is beginning to get heated (and personal) as the WordPress Foundation is now requesting that anyone who sells their products on Envato properties (WordPress Themes and Plugins) not speak at, volunteer for, organize or sponsor WordCamps (Thanks Drew for the clarification!). And when I say it’s getting heated – it’s really getting heated – there hasn’t been this type of online riot since, well, Chris Pearson (remember that big issue?). It’s worth noting that it […]
Behind the Scenes: Finding Focus in a World of Distraction
Getting stuff done is difficult to begin with especially with all the distractions that exist in both the real life and the digital. Trying to run a successful and growing editorial blog is tough work – I mean, let me be frank, it is really hard.

But there’s a place for Joomla as many large enterprises and businesses are using it in some clever and useful ways. Here’s a top-level overview infographic to compare to two side-by-side:
Just Another WordPress Blog Link Pile?
There’s always room for one more, right? Brian Krogsgard has launched a new link blog called Post Status that does, well, what you think it might do: Provide links to content. How innovative is this new initiative? Like the thousands of other sites out there really isn’t anything special. In fact, let’s be honest – even what we’re doing here isn’t innovative either (so we’re in the same boat my friend).
