We’ve talked a lot about various WordPress meetups and events here on WP Daily. We’re obviously big fans (will you be at WordCamp Atlanta?) of what you guys are doing in your local communities to support and push WordPress even further. Case in point: In addition to my local WordPress Users Group, there’s a local WordPress Advanced Users Group, as well as a local WordPress Developers Group. But here’s the problem: We’re all a bit fragmented. And not just “we” as in those of us who are local, but “we” as in citizens of the Internet. People share their notes […]
WordSesh: Looking for Speakers!
We covered the announcement of WordSesh late last month and things are moving along steadily and picking up steam. In a notice that I got it seems that they are now looking for speakers for the first event on April 13, 2013! Here’s the official notice from Scott Basgaard, one of the Co-organizers of WordSesh:
The Pagely Yeti and Luke Skywalker
Did Mark Hamill know that he’d ever meet a Pagely Yeti? I guess not. I honestly have no earthy idea what they were thinking but it’s kind of cool. Whatever it is, I want one.
The Creative Spaces of WordPress
The guys over at WebDevStudios had a little contest that had a number of WordPress users, designers, and developers out themselves by showing their messy (or clean) work environments. We’ve done this before and it’s always neat to see where (and how) some people do their work. Here are some of the neat ones showcased:
The SEO Rapper: You Know I'm Down with Automattic!
The SEO Rapper is seriously one-of-a-kind and the CMS rap is amazing and you know he speaks truth about WordPress! Heck, he even rapped at a WordCamp once! At some point I need to meet this guy in person. A little light entertainment for your Wednesday snooze-fest at work – come on folks, we’re half-way there! More of his quality spittin’ after the jump – I’m digging the Pagerank one especially:
Happy Tables – WordPress For Restaurants
Last week, we published – and discussed – the feasibility of WordPress as an application framework, or at least a foundation for web applications. Though we’ve already covered a variety of apps built with WordPress, we’re attempting to be as comprehensive as possible in sharing every single application that is built on the application. Today: Happy Tables.
Behind the Scenes: Always On
Ever feel like you’re completely attached to your notebook? Maybe not like this guy above, which is absolutely ridiculous (that can’t be real, right?) As the editor of a growing news publication it can feel that I’m “always on” and constantly being fed news, links to articles, tweets, RSS, Facebook status updates, and more. And it never really stops, especially at this critical phase in the life of a new property. I share a few candid thoughts as I sit here in my hotel room where I find myself leading my team, editing and creating content, and preparing for a […]
WordPress in Moscow
From time to time I like to sneak a peak into what other WordCamps and Meetups are doing, especially in the different parts of the world. Part of it is just simply morbid curiosity – I like to see what others are doing with WordPress, and the other part is a fascination with culture and the varieties that I’ve encountered throughout my life. One of the reasons for this is because of the fact that I’ve spent a good deal of time living in other parts of the world when I was a child and growing up and it’s something […]
Roll Your Meetup Group Under the Foundation
Not today, but soon. Perhaps as early as March or early April. But it’s coming. Aaron Jorbin has been working hard at collecting, curating, and sharing best practices when it comes to meetup groups and all of this time and attention has been to align all WordPress-centric groups so that the best experience can be had by all. One of the things that had been rolled out in the last few months is the aggregation and consolidation of a number of Meetup Groups under the WordPress Foundation Meetup.com account. Practically-speaking, this just saved the organizers a few bucks for the […]
ThemeForest, Envato Community Survey is Now Live
Remember that survey that Collis from Envato teased out a few weeks ago about the GPL? It’s live. This is all the news that you need today. Head there now and make sure you let others know! Anxious to see how this survey turns out!
