Technology is changing everything and WordPress is becoming an increasingly-important part of those changes. Just think for a moment how, in 10 years, we’ll look back and see how important WordPress was in the expansion of blogging and content management in the early part of this century. You are a part of history if you’re a WordPress user and professional – and industries are being disrupted every single day by bloggers and content creators. Cheers! Here’s a neat look in regards to technology in general of the past and present:

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!

There has been a lot of discussion about streamlining WordPress and making the publishing experience “better” – heck, even talks about forking WordPress itself, which I will never personally remotely attempt. Things like Ghost push the ticket forward a bit but are not WordPress at its core – perhaps it’s small steps that can provide some avenue of attack and perspective? What if we just took away all the “excess” and just got down to publishing itself?

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?

A little backlogged is all I have to say – it was a very busy weekend for me and I’m just finally catching up on work that was supped to get done late last week. This happens on occasion and thankfully no ones breathing down my neck to get my stuff done – I create all the pressure I need on my own! Hopefully you had a great weekend and are looking at an awesome week this week!

Have you got a few minutes? Please help Siobhan and the team by filling out this simple survey to help make WordPress better! Thank you so much! Do it before the end of today why don’t you?

It’s been a while since we did our last “Behind the Scenes” post – we’ve simply been too busy getting work done! Hope you guys have had an incredibly-full yet awesome week of work and productivity (also, rest). As mentioned in the video, we’re looking to do more seminars and training in our office here which may include WordPress-related training, coaching, and workshops. Stay tuned for more information on our 8BIT blog for more on that.

Time is ticking my friends – Google Reader just has 6 weeks or so to go before it’s *poof* gone. As I’ve shared previously, Feedly has become my go-to choice for a replacement but it’s not perfect, not even close unfortunately. They’ve iterated on their product a bunch of times in the last few months as their popularity has soared but it’s still lacking on some core features that I’m going to miss from Google Reader. As a result, I’m constantly looking for alternatives for RSS Readers and I’ve found a few open source options like Stringer which is neat. Here’s […]

An email was sent out by Jen Mylo who’s helping to organize the killer WordPress 10th Anniversary Party(ies) that are being coming in a short 10 days! It appears that not only is there going to be a killer #WP10 website, as shared by Jen and David Bisset where they are going to pull in extracting images and tweets and instagram posts that use the #WP10 hashtag during the event and display them live on the site. You can see David’s GitHub repo for more information if you’d like to contribute and help out. The design of the site isn’t completed […]

There’s a poll that’s up that you can quickly add your $.02 cents to if you’d like that’s actively being discussed. Not sure of what Your.WordPress is? It’s the WordPress-relate forum that really is for sharing your own site – it’s subhead is Strut Your Stuff and it’s a place where you can get feedback about your WordPress-related implementation. As Christine shared, it’s very popular. Perhaps too popular the “wrong” types of people:
