Crazy week, right? It’s been one for the record books for me personally as I’ve been attempting to finalize a Kickstarter campaign and project that has pretty much hijacked my entire life. At some point I’ll have a massive retrospective, but I’m exhausted with only a day or so to go. But naturally there’s been more news than just Kickstarter project – here are some of the things that happened this previous week that you may not have gotten to see. Oh, and by the way, make sure you’re aware of the big super bot that’s attempting to access your […]

The WordPress Weekend Roundup
Yikes. It’s been a busy Saturday and I’m finally getting around to compiling our weekly review of content that we didn’t get to cover explicitly over the last 7 days. In a good way I’m glad as I spent most of my time today with family. Soccer games, a date with one of my daughters, and then the park with my other one has left me spent. I hope your weekend has been as eventful as mine already as well!
A Review of WooCommerce 2.0
WooThemes just released WooCommerce 2.0, their ever popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress. They added a variety of new features in the new version ranging from improved security (approved by Sucuri) to advanced inventory management. All of these features make WordPress a more viable candidate as a platform to develop a fully-featured eCommerce site. As a result, I want to take a personal look at it and give you my thoughts from on some of the major features and why it may be time to take a serious look at it, if you already haven’t.
WooCommerce 2.0: It's Here!
First off, congrats to the WooCommerce team that has been working incredibly hard to release such a significant update as a 2.0! The release contains an incredibly amount of improvements and features that make it a serious contender in the growing list of eCommerce and commerce-centric payment gateway solutions. It’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly what I like the best out of the newly minted 2.0, especially because I’ve been using it with smaller projects and even client work, not to mention even using it for 8BIT as a solution, but I’m loving the idea of increased security auditing by Sucuri.
