WordPress security is top-of-mind with a lot of people lately with the big botnet scare that’s apparently still happening in pockets here and there. That’s why we have companies like Sucuri and their great staff that are constantly monitoring the security landscape for those that don’t know about it until it’s too late. Dre Armeda is leading a lot of that charge and in an oldie-but-goodie presentation from WordCamp Atlanta 2012 that finally got uploaded to WP.tv he goes over End-User security that’s worth a look:

A Better Planet? Why Not Get Rid of It Entirely?
There’s been some conversation about having a “better” planet and it’s been a great topic of conversation among blogs as well as in internal conversations here in our office. For those that need a quick recap, the WordPress Planet is a feed that sources content from a number of blogs and sites and aggregates them into one central location here at http://planet.wordpress.org/.

As James shared as he broke down the blogs and outlined their “effectiveness” […]

Introducing AudioTheme: Let Your Website Be Heard
Music is made to be heard just like ideas are written to be read. For far too long, musicians looking to establish an online presence have had a tough row to hoe. Whole companies are based on serving specific subsets of their needs, leaving them to cobble together the fragmented pieces into something that resembles a website — without ever really owning their data. While WordPress is a powerful publishing platform, it’s not specifically geared towards the needs of artists without a significant amount of work. It’s easy enough for a skilled developer to throw a solution together, but too […]
James Banks: Mobile First Design, Development?
There is no question that mobile is here to stay – we are living in a mobile world where content is being consumed more and more on mobile devices instead of from people behind a desk. This is a good thing for all of us but also means that we need to be able to design and develop great online products that meet these needs – and perhaps it’s so important that we need to consider mobile first and then everything else from there? That’s just one perspective of many and it’s good to have other opinions, such as James Banks’ via […]
