On the 1st of April 2012, I was one of six new hires joining the WooThemes team, raising the total number of WooThemes team members to 23. It has been an amazing ride so far and the approaching end of this year made me realize yet again what a great decision it was to jump on the WooThemes train.

When I joined WooThemes, I planned on writing multiple blog posts on what I was working on, what I liked most and other post related to […]

As you can see above I’ve added a customized / branded icon on my homescreen on my iPhone 5 – this gives it a much nicer look than a screen capture of the home page when adding it, right? This is increasingly more important as more and more people are browsing your blog and site with mobile devices and choose to save your homepage right on their device. Give them something attractive to look at, especially if it’s going to sit among some other luminary sites! Which is why I encourage you to save WP Daily to your homescreen on your […]

Are you a fan of LESS or Sass preprocessors? Because if you are then you’re going to be stoked to find that they are both now available via your CSS Editor on both WordPress.com and your self-hosted solutions (via Jetpack). Yeah, I know, right? That’s a big deal, especially for those that spend a lot of time tweaking, editing, and creating new CSS and styles for their blogs, their clients, and their projects. For the uninitiated, a preprocessor are extensions to CSS to simply allow you to manage your CSS with more ease.

A new feature of the WordPress.com Developer Resources blog is the fact that they are now highlighting particular people in an interview segment that I hope will continue fairly regularly. Beau Lebens is the first up and he shares how he first got started with WordPress by launching a startup based on WordPress MU and bbPress for scrapbooking fans (clever!). He then moved to Mashable (yes, that blog) and then over to Automattic. I think some of the best part is his advice to aspiring young people who are interested in learning about WordPress and software development: Dive right in. […]

Cristi Burca, a senior WordPress developer at AppThemes and WordPress core contributor recently shared that he’s been not only experimenting with Jekyll, another blogging alternative that favors those that have a bit more development background: WordPress is about democratizing publishing; that is to say it’s meant to be easy to use by anyone, whether they have technical knowledge or not. Jekyll, in contrast, is designed to appeal to developers. It allows you to treat your content as source code, employing familiar tools such as text editors and version control systems. Does this mean that all that hard work with over […]
