That’s the story or at least the presupposition as Matt Medeiros goes into chatting with Jeff Chandler of WPTavern. Many entrepreneurs are accidental with only a few people really becoming one because they wanted to “when they grow up.” I know for myself that I also fell into it as it wasn’t one of the job descriptions that I was presented with when I was a kid. Perhaps those are the best kind although it’s quite a subjective space to begin with.

Gravity Forms got a lot of updates in the last few days and I’m happy for it because we are using that great plugin in both of our new MVP sites, our Job Board and Pros Network. They’ve come out with four (yes, 4!) updates and/or new releases to their add-on assortment that continues to make this plugin a very catchy purchase – and without question we’ve already gotten our money’s worth.

Is there any better way to wake up on a lazy Friday morning than reviewing yet another great theme by Automattic? Why the heck not.

The most popular WordPress themes? It’s hard to tell. There are so many different themes out there and determining which ones are the most popular depends on how you’re qualifying “popular” in many regards. Is it downloads? Is it membership? Is it ____________? Here’s one take on it in infographic form:

Funny, I know. But serious too. See, a new book has just been released: The Tao of WordPress, which is a complete guide for beginners, designers, students, admins and everyone to get the most from WordPress. And since I was a long-time supporter of Jeff Starr via his Digging into WordPress book (which is a must have) I got notified that there’s a killer discount code of $7 when you enter DIGWP at checkout (I hope I’m allowed to share that publicly…).

Can You Build a Business on WP Video Alone?

The answer is a resounding “Yes” because we already know of great sites that are doing it, like WP101 that creates training videos for people and that partners with the likes of Page.ly and other companies to provide their service to them. This is an obvious use of video and as WP101 expands internationally it’s going to be a sustainable and valuable resource for thousands of people (if not many, many more). But what I’m talking about is not just a video-centric educational system or business – what I’m talking about is a videocast-ish commentary business where you sit around […]

Thesis, what’s that…?! No, seriously. Thesis has had some “interesting” coverage over the years but Chris Pearson is still going strong and the business is still here, providing a lot of value for a lot of people. And they just announced their 2.1 Beta that comes with an all-new “Classic Responsive Skin.” If you’re a developer and have a license then you already have access to it.
