Let’s check how many views you got last night. Hum not as many as you hoped. Well, maybe you didn’t plug that post on your social media sites enough. Time to give it a bit more juice and send out a reminder across all your social medai services. After a while at work you realize that your latest post is about to go live! Better […]
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 1.28.2013
Happy Monday! Everyone have a great weekend? I know I sure did! Looks like there are some new themes and plugins to share today. They are products of some hard work over the weekend for sure. I’m always excited to see new plugins, but new themes make it that much sweeter. Way to go guys and gals! Here’s your list o’ new stuff:
Is Obox Beating the GPL, WordPress.com System?
Of course there’s a lot of pressure right now on making sure that the GPL issues around Envato and WordPress are enforced, or at least that the things being said are aligned with actual action and one such confusing example is Obox and their apparent distribution of their Gigawatt Theme. As mentioned by @ChrisWallace, what exactly is the ruling here? Yo @wordpressdotcom you got some GPL problems!WordPress.com: theme.wordpress.com/themes/gigawat… ThemeForest: themeforest.net/item/gigawatt-… — Chris Wallace (@chriswallace) January 24, 2013 The proof of the issue, as they say, is in the pudding:

So… Who Calls the Shots on WordPress?

Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 1.27.2013
Is Sunday the start of the week, or end of the week? I consider it the start of the week personally. I guess that means that some plugin authors got a great start to the week. There are plenty of both new and updated plugins to share today. One of the plugins that stands out to me right away is Hello Ziggy. Not because I’m a David Bowe fan, but because the title includes a #shoutout for our Hello Dolly podcast. I don’t think we will rename it to Hello Ziggy, but crazier things have happened.

Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup 1.26.2013
Today marks the 3rd week that we have been posting the Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup. It has been great to share these with you and we have really appreciated the positive we have received. My favorite part of the roundup is getting to share the work that others in the WordPress community are doing and being able to connect with them as well through the comments. Just the other day one of readers Ben shared one of his plugins that was similar to one that we had posted. Here’s the list with a special #shoutout plugin. Check it out!

Enjoy your weekend folks!
