It’s no question that as a piece of software gains popularity it also gains interest from those who would want to exploit it for their own gain. Most of us know this intimately if we’ve spent any time in the Windows environment as the security industry for malware and attacks on Windows-based PCs is huge! WordPress is only growing, now powering more than 17% of the top 1MM sites in the world – this makes it a prime target for hackers and malicious evildoers. An infographic via Page.ly shows some of this data cleverly:

VaultPress, one of the best real-time backup solutions for your WordPress blog, has updated their usability by adding a calendar view for those looking to revert back to a period of time.

This intuitive interface is a much-needed addition to an already incredible service: We’ve added a list of calendars to your VaultPress dashboard. You can click around from day-to-day and see all of the backups for your site, restoring (or downloading) any one as needed. Each day […]

https://twitter.com/helenhousandi/status/281130273800859648 Congrats to Jon Cave and Helen Hou-Sandí who both have received core commit access, the former as a permanent committer and the latter being a guest (it’s worth noting that Jon has had core commit via guest but is now joining the core team with @koopersmith and @dd32). This is a great move as the team continues to expand the talent pool with individuals who have proven their commitment to WordPress and core development. We’re stoked to see it happen and want to wish them the very best – no need to be afraid though!

I just had the pleasure of being interviewed by Code Poet, a free resource for anyone who builds anything with WordPress. It’s an Automattic production so these are trusted resources coming right from the staff themselves – seriously worth a subscribe (and telling others about it). I share some thoughts about how I got started with WordPress and where it’s taken me. It’s honestly hard to imagine the impact that one piece of software could have on my short life so far – I felt like I could write a book on it so far and there’s still so much […]

Comments – they are the lifeblood of any great community-centric blog. Managing them, curating them, editing and spamming them is all a part of the process. As a result, choosing the best management system is very important. That’s probably why I really enjoy using the WordPress apps on my iPhone and iPad and the feature highest on my list of “likes” is the comments. It’s way simpler to use than having to launch your site in your browser, possibly have to log in, navigate to Comments and then reply. Now I do like the new addition of the comments in […]
