Want to hear some of the perspective of Jake Caputo who has had an incredibly-busy week this week around Envato, WPF, GPL, and WordCamps? Ryan Imel over at WP Candy in their 35th episode has it with his guest, talking over the experience and touching upon more than a few things. One point that Jake reminds the audience is that ThemeForest is his biggest source of income and it’s just not a possibility at this point for his lifestyle and financial needs. In other words, he can’t just up and “quit” ThemeForest tomorrow and be completely ok with it! Again, […]
Is Selling on Envato 'Insane' for Developers?
As per Alex King‘s comment when reviewing the Mac App Store policies for selling and Envato’s marketplace: The more I think about it, the more insane I think it is to choose to do business with Envato given their current terms. In order to put your products in their marketplace with a semi-reasonable revenue share you are choosing to completely subjugate your business to their whims. You can’t experiment with your product pricing, you can’t try other marketplaces, you can’t sell direct to your customers… you can’t even choose your own software license! He compares the two in light of […]
The Art of Embracing
As writers and content creators, we all seem to have something in common besides from the obvious. Sure, we all write about things we have interest in or provide professional tips based on our specialties, but there is something more than that. We all have a sixth sense to embrace everything that happens to us. When we learn something new and we share it. When we have an extraordinary experience, we share it. When we hear a story from some one or see them doing amazing things that inspire us, we share it. I’m not talking about sharing on Facebook, […]
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 1.24.2013
It’s Thursday ladies and gentleman. Only one day left in the work week, for some I guess. I mentioned before that it’s my favorite day of the week, and I am happy to announce that nothing has changed that yet. #WINNING. That’s not the only win today, there’s some new plugins that I get the pleasure to share. I guess that means everyday is a win then right? I’ll take it! It’s a pretty impressive list today. I’m thinking the Jetpack Only for Admins would be kind of sweet for us here at WP Daily and may other multi-author blogs. You see any […]
Liveblog v1.3, Adds Archiving, Editing, Notifications
Yummy! If you haven’t heard about the Liveblog Plugin then you may have already seen it in action here and here where we had two community members liveblog the WordCamp events. Was it a success? Did the plugin work? Abso-freakin-lootely. We are still polishing up our protocols and methods of execution with the liveblog system here at WP Daily but the fact is that tons of people poured into the site on those days to hear in real-time what was happening in a local gathering. Now that’s pretty darn cool. Our intention of adding liveblogging to our editorial efforts here is […]
Plugins: For Good or For Evil?
As developers we have the incredible opportunity to provide real value to real people – it reminds me of Spiderman to the Nth degree and how Uncle Ben told Spidey: With great power comes great responsibility. You could also attribute this to Franklin D. Roosevelt as well who said: Today we have learned in the agony of war that great power involves great responsibility. And for some it is truly a war that is going on in their minds and hearts! Take for instance Ben Gilbanks who is pondering what he should do in terms of a plugin that he is […]
WordPress Events: Why Not Roll Your Own?
Unless you’ve been under a rock you’re already aware of all the buzz going around WordCamps and the challenge that some are having in terms of being able to sponsor and present at these events. It’s been hashed and rehashed in so many different ways in the last few days and more intelligent people have been adding their thoughts to the pile of collective ideas that I have almost nothing left to contribute. But I’ve been thinking deeply about it not only because our team here at WP Daily is co-organizing a WordCamp but because at the heart of what everyone […]

Free CRM Plugin Built on WordPress?
The scoop and word on the street is that Remi Corson, a very WordPress developer and blogger, is looking to release a free CRM (Customer Relationship Management) plugin with WordPress. If it’s anything close to what a few people have already asked then it could be a doozy of a plugin that could provide a lot of value for those who manage, invoice and bill clients and customers on the web. There’s already a huge existing market for CRM apps but only a few WordPress-powered solutions. Remi offered up some more context for what he’s building as well in a recent […]
