This is somewhat of a followup post on the very popular post by our technical editor, Tom, who wrote a little while back on attitude adjustments which was very well-received. If you haven’t read this one then you probably should as it provides some foundational context to what I’m about to share here. Since that post I’ve thought through much of what we do here at WP Daily and how we can be the very best source of information possible for our many (and growing) readers. I say “information” because at the very foundation that is what we provide. Some may call […]
Envato Launches New Homepage
Envato unveiled a swell new landing page for their organization and it’s a site to see. Perhaps the thing I like the best is their About Page and where they list our their values:
Tactile Design Kits You Should Use
Hey designers – this one’s for you! You probably mock things up all the time for your teams, your clients, and even for your own projects and sometimes it’s just best to have a physical piece of paper instead of doing everything digital. I know for myself that I appreciate that tactile touch of paper when it comes to writing and notetaking. Well, check out this Tactile Design Kit that can be printed and used for your next brainstorm or client conversation!
Commercial Plugin Updates Done Right?
It seems like a possibility (and should be). If you’ve been around for a while then you probably have a combination of a number of WordPress.org plugins that have the ability to be updated automatically with the touch of a button (via your notifications inside your dash) and you’ve also got some non-WP.org plugins as well, perhaps even some premium/commercial plugins that need to get updated. The problem, of course, is that there isn’t an easy auto-update capability for the latter scenarios. Gary Pendergast from Automattic has written about some of those exact issues that he’s bumped into via his […]
Why Kaiser Family Choose WP Over Drupal
Every single day we encounter more organizations from small to big who are asking the same questions over and over and over again. Many of us, who build other people’s sites for a living, probably have rote and canned responses to many of these questions, which isn’t bad as most of those canned messages will do just fine, but on occasion you have to add a bit more context and flavor to make it just right. But we don’t often hear from some of the larger sites and get an inside look into what they were thinking about as they […]
Mason.js – Grid Elements Made Easy
I love finding more open source apps and resources every single day, especially if their under MIT which is one of the least restrictive (and sometimes confusing) of the bunch of licenses available to us. Today, I share with you Mason.js: Mason was created to solve a problem with most grid system currently available. Gaps. When using Masonry, Isotope or any of the other grid plugins out there sometimes your grid will contain gaps or ragged edges. Mason was made to fill those gaps in. Built on the idea of true masonry when a grid is constructed there are bound […]
Jetpack v2.3.1: Lunch-Break Update Time!
It’s that time again and if you have a few moments during your lunch-break today then why don’t you go ahead and update your site (and perhaps all those other sites that you have) with Jetpack’s v2.3.1 update? This one’s important folks as it’s a security and maintenance update (highlight on the first part of “security”!) and so sooner the better in these types of things. Here’s the run-down of what’s going to be updated for you:

Have You Participated in the WP Hosting Review 2013 Survey?
Just a short and simple reminder to head over to WPShout’s 2013 WP Hosting Survey and add your 2-cents to the form. Historically it’s been a great resource for many people and we will want to results to be as comprehensive and fair as possible! But, of course, at this point the results are old: It’s over two years since the inaugural Hosting Review, and it’s now time to update the results with some fresh data. A lot has changed in the last two years: managed hosting is now all the range, the cost of basic shared hosting has fallen […]
Alex Vasquez Walks Through Yoast SEO
We just announced some really neat news around Yoast and his SEO Plugin, namely the fact that he’s going to be offering some premium features and support which I think has been a long time coming. To prime and prep you for that it might be a good idea, especially if you’re new to Joost de Valk‘s work, to hang out with Alex Vasquez for a few moments as he walks through the plugin in this workshop at WordCamp Orange County:
