It wasn’t ever so long ago websites could be built and left untouched for an entire year and hardly anyone noticed. Web 2.0 came on the scene and everything began to change. Literally. Static websites died and the web became fluid. It changes everyday. Updates are commonplace for desktop apps and WordPress alike. Everyone is blogging, everyone is sharing, everything is on the move. However, there are plenty of businesses and those in the market for a website that still think the web works like it did ten years ago. Can’t you just pay for a website and be done […]

Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 2.17.2013
We have a couple of familiar faces on today’s roundup. The two new themes from yesterday’s roundup have already been updated. Make sure to get their updates if you installed them on your site yesterday. There’s also some new plugins as well today. One of them looks like something I have seen people ask for before, Remove More Jump. It removes the anchor tag for the more link so when someone clicks on the link, they don’t get moved down the page, but rather left at the top of the page. Take a look at the others too!
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 2.16.2013
The weekend is here and so are some new plugins and themes to share on today’s roundup. I was taking a look at the new theme Chunk. I really like the clean design and the use of bright highlight colors and the gradient on top. Nicely done! Let us know if you guys try out any of these new plugins or themes.
How Many WordPress Users Are in Your Timezone?
Ok, I’m extrapolating here based off Pingdom’s “Internet Users and Timezone” but I would have to imagine it’s pretty darn close, right? Check out this interesting infographic:
The WordPress Weekend Roundup
Another crazy week this week, right? I feel like there’s a never-ending flood of great content that’s being created about WordPress and related topics of conversation. It makes our jobs incredible easy and incredibly difficult at times because we have to identify the topics that we want to cover more fully and the ones that we can only point to and say “Go check this out!” In anycase, here’s your weekly roundup of conversations that you may have missed:
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 2.15.2013
Plugins, Plugins, Plugins! (in my best Steve Ballmer impression) I have tons of both new and updated plugins to share with ya’ll today in our roundup. I hope you all got your WordPress related gifts from your valentines yesterday. If not, I hope yesterday and today’s plugins will cheer you up. Here they are:
Free Theme Friday
It’s Friday again! This week I bring you Reddle, a great free theme that was added to the WordPress.org theme directory by non other than Automattic. Reddle is a responsive minimalistic content first theme much like the Twenty Eleven and Twenty twelve theme Reddle has a top banner that you can choose to use or not use. Everything about Reddle’s minimal design elegantly adapts to how you want to use your blog and what you want to use it for. Want to use your blog for a simple one-column link blog? A two-column business site with a custom header and […]
$150 for a WordPress.com Theme?
A new bar has been set in terms of price over at the Premium Theme marketplace at WordPress.com as Further Theme has been released with a starting price point of $150.00 US. This makes it the most expensive WordPress.com theme currently available with Newsy coming in at second ($130) and Elemin at $115. All three are obviously marketed toward the more content rich and “news-ish” types of bloggers and website owners, but the price clearly puts it at the very top. The question is – is it worth the sticker price and sticker shock? The theme itself looks incredibly robust and has all […]
Why Bloggers Need to Learn a Little Code
When most people start off blogging they don’t know a thing about coding. After all content is king, right (or design if you ask some people but that’s a debate for someone else)? Whatever the most important element is, for most people it isn’t coding. After all, a good blogging platform should have low entry requirements and highly usable interface where any noob can just turn up and start using it. WordPress, of course, fills this description with it’s visual text editor, themes, plugins and widgets that can help people get a good standard site with no knowledge of coding…but […]
