More than 2 years ago WooThemes created their own graphical depiction of the WordPress universe as they saw it, showcasing some of the major personalities and theme shops that were in the ecosystem at the time. Since then, a lot has changed and the graphical depiction if done today would look very different – perhaps at some point they will re-do their work but a lot of it is still very relevant today. We thought it had to be a part of our new home office for WP Daily but we couldn’t find anywhere to purchase such a fine artifact of […]

The idea of having a WordPress-centric IndiGoGo or Kickstarter is just enough of an idea for me to fully support it 100%. The announcement of WP Fund It was shared via Pippin and highlights the intentions and goals for the community-backed project: The entire idea is to better improve the entire WordPress ecosystem, whether that be WordPress core, plugins/themes on WordPress.org, the WordPress codex, tutorials hosted on individual’s sites, WordPress events, etc. This will include both free and commercial projects, but a large emphasis will be placed on projects that contribute to the betterment of the WordPress community. Pippin shares pretty explicitly […]

Every so often I come across an implementation that makes me smile a bit. It’s usually because of some clever use of styling, a little code wizardry, or even a very unique UX implementation that catches me off guard. This morning I was greeted with a customization of the Twenty Eleven theme that gave me that same emotion – I love seeing the base “default” and yearly themes being customized beyond their initial intent to showcase not only how versatile they are but also how well designed and developed they are out of the box. This morning I’d like to […]

This is one question that Danny Brown is getting because of the over-abundance and use of WordPress at Carleton University – over 260 sites using WordPress: We’re so embedded with WordPress here that I’ve had people ask me if it also does blogging. A much different question to be asked for those that know about WordPress, right? Just imagine if you were in the context of an ecosystem where WordPress was so ubiquitous and used as a CMS that the blogging aspect was an overlooked or under-used feature! Imagine that.

We’ve been asked this so many times that I thought I’d just create a simple blog post that I can reference to when people ask. Although we’re not super fans of having our little Twitter widget on the sidebar (we’re looking into some alternative implementations) it’s very useful for people to easily follow us and tweet news to us that we should review.
