Sometimes you just need an infographic that engages the visual senses a bit more so that you can actually “get” the information to sit squarely in your brain long enough to retain it, am I right? Thanks to Hostgator, of all places, this might be one worth passing around if you’ve got clients, customers, or even your parents who are curious about what the “heck” that you actually do with your life.

Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 4.15.2013
It’s Monday and it’s also tax day! “It’s the most, wonderful time of the year”, NOT. I’m not sure why there’s universal hatred for April 15th. Maybe I can make it a little bit of a nicer day by sharing some new plugins with you guys! Speaking of money, there’s a couple new WooCommerce plugins to share today. You see what I did there? 🙂 Be sure to check out all of the new plugins after the jump!
Fear is Not the Only Enemy
Back to the Future… So why the heck would I caption this “back to the future?” Well, let me explain. Today I decided to head back to my old blog that I did on blogger (which totally sucked btw….WP FTW!), and try to find some old photos for show notes for my new podcast Photo Drives. We recorded an episode about how we got started in photography or where we came from with our work. What is interesting is that I ran across a post I wrote on Christmas Eve in 2010 about comfort. It really resonated with me today just […]
bbPress 2.3 with Over 150 Fixes Since 2.2!
Oh yeah! bbPress continues to move forward with strong development moving into a mature 2.3 with over 150 fixes and enhancements since 2.2. Although, the comment form on this announce post is showing a few issues with such things as search. I would review carefully the changes listed out and upgrade with a possibility of reverting back if things get too ugly for you.
Hierarchy of Digital Distractions
Feeling a bit distracted on this Monday morning? Yes, me too. In an ever-increasing fight to stay focused on the things that need to get done I have to actively reduce and pare down things that are causing those disruptions. For example, a recent absolute life-saver is turning the “Do Not Disturb” feature on via my iPhone and never turning it off. Thus, I don’t get interrupted by anything, except for those on my VIP list (like my wife). I was perusing some sites to look for other quick and helpful tips this past weekend and passed on this Hierarchy […]
MyCurator Works, But Is Curation Worthwhile?
I was tasked with reviewing the MyCurator plugin from the folks over at TargetInfo and I’ve got to say, I don’t get it. I’ve watched the four and half minute intro video three times, read through the entire site twice and all MyCurator seems like is a RSS reeder with some slick options for posting other people’s content to your own blog.
Why Managed WordPress Hosting Is Awesome
Another day, another re-boot, and it went from bad to worse. My web host had emailed me about having to reboot my server. I had decided it best to go with managed (although not dedicated WordPress hosting) instead of unmanaged, as I didn’t have the time to deal with all the ins and outs of dealing with the technical details of taking care of my own server. My host emailed me the typical recommendations as it had all the times before, the first being to upgrade my VPS service, something I didn’t want to do. I was already spending more than […]

Giveaway: The Geekified Guide by Heather Wallace
We shared a new WordPress-centric book yesterday by Heather Wallace that was brought to our attention and Heather was lovely enough to want to share it with even more people here in this community. As a result, we’re giving away 3 copies of the book (digital) here on WP Daily. Here’s a brief synopsis of what you will find in the Geekified Guide to WordPress:
