Like many of you I spend most of my time (and my living) sitting behind a computer and writing things with my hot little hands. I love the work that I do and I get to spend a lot of my time with a great team, which makes it all the better. On occasion I get invited to speak publicly, keynote events, and share my opinions about certain topics – I’m still baffled that anyone cares to invite me in the first place as there are many more professional speakers out there that can do a much better job than I. I’m […]
Great Success: WP Trivia Game Show at Your Party!
Now isn’t this a clever idea? Why not boot the WordPress Game Show via Detroit’s 2011 WordCamp at the 10th Anniversary Party that you’re having on Monday? Of course, no cheating!
WordPress End-User Security with Dre Armeda
WordPress security is top-of-mind with a lot of people lately with the big botnet scare that’s apparently still happening in pockets here and there. That’s why we have companies like Sucuri and their great staff that are constantly monitoring the security landscape for those that don’t know about it until it’s too late. Dre Armeda is leading a lot of that charge and in an oldie-but-goodie presentation from WordCamp Atlanta 2012 that finally got uploaded to WP.tv he goes over End-User security that’s worth a look:
James Banks: Mobile First Design, Development?
There is no question that mobile is here to stay – we are living in a mobile world where content is being consumed more and more on mobile devices instead of from people behind a desk. This is a good thing for all of us but also means that we need to be able to design and develop great online products that meet these needs – and perhaps it’s so important that we need to consider mobile first and then everything else from there? That’s just one perspective of many and it’s good to have other opinions, such as James Banks’ via […]
Minneapolis in the WP Daily House!
We shared a little while back how neat it was that a WordCamp created a little flow chart poster for their event and they organizing team sent us a copy for our wall here at the WP Daily office! We’re stoked and now I have to get it framed somehow. Thanks guys!
CigarCamp: WP-Powered Cigars!
Now that sounds like a sweet ending to a WordCamp if you ask me! Apparently there was a killer after-party of smoking, drinking, and even WordPress after the WordCamp Austin gathering this past weekend. Nothing like an opportunity to relax with fellow WordPressers and sip and partake of a few glorious pastimes, right?
Joe Boydston: WordPress is Saving Journalism
This incredible presentation at our recent WordCamp Atlanta 2013 was a must-see. In fact, Joe was running late and was unable to attend and thus present on Friday and many of our attendees were crushed that he wouldn’t be able to present. Well, we shifted a few things around and slotted him in on Saturday instead! He presented a compelling argument for how WordPress is literally saving journalism and how they’ve customized their installation into an incredibly-powerful publishing tool and system. For those interested, this is definitely worth your time. Turn up your speakers as the volume is a bit […]
An Introduction to WP and Version Control
Aaron Holbrook graciously shares his experience with WordPress and version control in this oldie but goodie WordCamp presentation via WordCamp Grand Rapids 2012: Version Control lets you track your files over time. Why should you care? So when you mess up you can easily get back to a previous working version! I will take you through what version control is, why it’s important and how to start using it today on projects you’re already working on. The reason that we’re reposting it is the fact that it was finally uploaded and wasn’t previously available before! Although now with the new […]
The WordPress Weekend Roundup
This is your WordPress weekend roundup – blog posts that we couldn’t entertain fully in the past week but that might still be worth your time. We spend our weekend curating this list so that you don’t have to! We hope that by spending a few hours (or more than a few hours) that we save hundreds if not thousands of our own community’s time! It is an opportunity we can’t pass up! And at this point we’ve done over 20 of these at this point! Ready? Here we go!
Sara Cannon is a Magical Unicorn
And other such creative nonsense. We had the pleasure of hanging out with Sara while she was here in the ATL speaking at the 2013 WordCamp Atlanta and her presentation about unicorns was not to be missed:
