But what about the case when you’re moving the entire site – that […]

We are so excited to announce a brand new podcast affectionately called Hello Dolly. For those that have been around WordPress for a while (and ever installed a self-hosted version) then you’ll immediately get the reference that we’ve created here! It’s a true throwback and hat tip to the greatest jazz-related WordPress Plugin ever and represents a very similar mission: This is not just a [podcast], it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation summed up in two words sung most famously by Louis Armstrong. Obviously we’ve exchanged the word podcast for plugin in this instance but you get […]

Akismet, the very popular spam-fighting plugin and service has recently crossed the 60 Billion (that’s with a ‘B’ folks!) spam “squashed” marking an incredible run. I’m not sure about you but I utilize Akismet for every single blog that I’ve every published for – it’s certainly not 100% fool-proof and perfect as “ham,” false positives, and missed spam. A typical question that I get from users and blog owners alike is what exactly is “ham”. Do you know?
