The timing is perfect for this new release by WordPress.com – a greater focus on portfolio-based themes for the creative and artist! The beginning of the year is always a great time to refresh that portfolio of yours so you can get 2013 off to the best start possible. You’ve got over 30 themes to choose from that’ll give your work the attention it deserves:
A Look at the New American Airlines
There’s been a lot of discussion and talk about American Airlines new brand mark that’s been released and how historic it is for such an iconic organization to make such a significant change that I thought it would be at least of interest to bring it up here and discuss the power of brand and how it evolves over time. I’m not a designer nor am I a brand specialist or anything even remotely close to it – I’m care vastly more about what you do with the company’s products or services in this case, than the overall brand. But […]
Giveaway: WordPress Development Professional Book
We shared the other day the sweet release of Curtis McHale’s new book and he kindly offered to give a few copies away to our audience here! The guy couldn’t be more awesome! We’ve made it super-easy to enter:
WordPress.com Home Now Sporting Responsive Design
WordPress.com is now sporting a svelte responsive layout as well as the WordPress.com Reader. This isn’t a comprehensive roll-out .com-wide as many of the pages are still not responsive – not a criticism as I know that would be a very large job but I hope it’s coming soon! For example, even the WordPress.com blog doesn’t have it (yet):
Meetup App 2.7.01 iOS Update Released
I’m a super-fan of Meetup.com – it really is the best way to organize, plan, and execute a meetup for your community. I’ve been using it for years and it’s never disappointed. Sure, I’ll admit that I’m not a super-fan of the fact that you have to pay a bit of coin to have the rights to organize but the meetups are worth it and it doesn’t break the bank. As you can see I’ve been doing it for years:
Goodbye Mug: A Day of Incredible Sadness
Yes. Tragedy has struck me today. I woke up this morning my WordPress mug was completely destroyed. After releasing a bloodcurdling scream (not really) I put myself together and asked the only person who would have any idea about what happened, my wife. She calmly said that my 2 year old decided that she’d “do the dishes” yesterday and threw my mug into the dishwasher like it was one of her toys. Ugh. How could I possibly be mad? Sure, it’s been one of my longest-standing WordPress companions (5 years!) and has been a front-row participant in my WordPress career […]
Carbon Neutral Hosting for Your WordPress Site?
Seriously? Yes, apparently so. Really Green WP is the first WordPress-centric service and managed hosting solution for those that are sensitive about their carbon footprint as it impacts the environment. What they are offering is both a consulting and web project services a well as a hosting solution for new or existing customers. As their marketing suggests they build WordPress sites that use less energy that in turn make them faster and then, if you want, they’ll put them in carbon neutral web hosting. I’ll be honest – I don’t know anything about carbon neutral initiatives and a cursory Google search […]
Shopify's Year in Review 2012
Let’s just put it plainly – Shopify is kicking serious tail. A very well-known eCommerce solution it’s been growing like wild-fire and last year they saw some incredible numbers in their posted infographic, detailing things like a total of 7.8MM customers who placed 9.9MM orders worth $742MM in revenue. Yikes. The point of even covering it here on WP Daily is because you, like me, may have recommended this service or at least compared it to many WordPress solutions in your research for a competent eCommerce solution. In other words, I shared Shopify with every single client that came to […]
Justin Timberlake Loves WordPress
Apparently this matters – and, why not? Because he’s using WordPress for his site, wah! Justin Timberlake released a new single recently, Suit & Tie, and he’s made a big deal about it, even doing a pre-release video to hype it up:
January Google Hangout Recap
Yesterday I had the chance to connect with a few of the contributors here at WP Daily and meet them at least digitally in our Google Hangout – it was a great time of community, collaboration, and ideation as we came together to discuss how WP Daily has been doing in the last few months as well as visioncast for the future. We received some incredible feedback and our contributors didn’t hold back – I’m so thankful that we’ve got such a passionate group that are willing to take the time to make this site even better! I had two […]
