If their current homepage has anything to say about it (as well as their stream via Twitter) then ManageWP is experiencing a few *burps* with their new homepage that they are trying to setup. I’m sure they’ll get it all back together shortly, right? We’ve all experienced this one time or another, so although it completely sucks it’s understandable. I hope their service for their customers hasn’t been interrupted though! Are you a ManageWP customer? Are you stoked?
WordPress for iOS 3.3.1 Released, Bugs Squashed
For those of you who have the WordPress of iOS app on their favorite iOS device, you might want to go check the AppStore. There are some updates for your (well my) favorite mobile blogging app. This is the first small release since the 3.3 release and should fix a lot of those issues that have caused the app to crash. Here’s the update from the AppStore:
WordCamp Victoria 2013 – Aftermath
Another successful WordCamp. This is the third in my series of posts about the event; the first was an introduction, the second was a live-blog during the event, and this one is a recap. This was (I think) my fourth WordCamp in Victoria; given my past attendance, I knew what to expect from this one: lots of networking, interesting and instructional sessions, a few light-bulb-over-the-head moments, and a good lunch. Credit goes to Paul Holmes and crew for keeping this yearly attraction going! The day started with an introduction from Paul, and a few door prizes were given away (this […]
Going Fireside with BlogDroid
We’re continuing to interface with very interesting people and we love it when they share some of the neat stuff that they are doing. We recently bumped into Karen Jackie and the stuff she’s doing over at BlogDroid, an “intelligence engine” via managed WordPress hosting. A neat spin from the outside looking in but I was curious enough to inquire more and it eventually made sense to do a WPOI (Word Person of Interest) interview. So, without further ado…
WordCamp Victoria Live Blog
WordCamp Victoria 2013
Greeting, WordPressers. I’m Grant Palin, a resident in Victoria, British Columbia, about to be attending one of my favourite yearly events in my hometown: WordCamp Victoria! I’ve been offered the opportunity to live-blog this event, so I am preparing a trio of posts; the first is this one, to introduce myself and layout the day, the second will be a live blog, and the third will be a wrap-up. Victoria has hosted a WordCamp for several years, and I’ve attended most of those. This year’s event is Saturday, January 12, 8:30 to 5:30, and is hosted at the University of […]
Happy Birthday Matt!
Matt Mullenweg turns 29 today (born January 11, 1984) and we at WP Daily salute you good sir! Thank you for all you’ve done – we can’t thank you enough. To think that it all started here in a post titled The Blogging Software Dilemma:
Breaking Git History, Rebase and/or Re-Clone
There’s a very active discussion over at Make Core surrounding a proposal from Mark Jaquith to create a proper Git mirror. The issue? Forgetting to use the appropriate authors.txt file. So what is the solution? Proposed: That we re-run the git-svn import with a proper authors.txt file. Upsides – We’ll have a proper Git mirror with good and consistent author data, that we can, if desired, use for a future migration to Git. Commits will be properly attributed in GitHub. Downsides – This will break Git history. If you have a Git checkout of WordPress, either standalone or in a submodule, that’ll mean that you’ll have to rebase your master […]
Toni and His Love for Bandcamp
Apparently Bandcamp is continuing to innovate with the new release of their service Bandcamp for Fans, which now boasts some very neat features: Today we’re giving fans the ability to showcase their Bandcamp music collections, follow their favorite artists, explore the music of like-minded fans, add items to a wishlist, and more. In developing these features, we’ve been guided by one overriding objective: grow revenue for artists while keeping the core Bandcamp experience as simple and clean as possible. Toni Schneider, the CEO of Automattic, apparently has his own growing collection.
Gather App: A Must-Have for WordCamp Organizers
It’s always difficult to write a blog title and use the word “must have” since many people consider that link-bait (the tactic of creating a crazy-stupid title for the purpose of click-throughs) but after reviewing this app I am finding it hard to justify not using it for any WordCamp, especially if you’re an organizer. What is Gather App? Quite simple: It’s a text-based alert system for your WordCamp conference (or any conference / gathering for that matter) that’s simple, intuitive, and cost-effective. And Gather lets you do all of this by letting you text your guests as a group (or […]
