We’ve got a lot of stuff to move into our new office space and a bunch of that is table top reads that our team love – you know, the books that you leave lying around on the coffee table and stuff, right? A lot of these books are going to be development and WordPress related but we’ve got a few that are related to leadership, team-building, and startups as well. We’ll have to take a picture of them all when we finally get them unboxed. But as I was looking through my personal library I realized that I had a few […]

One of the best things about WordPress is the fact that it’s entirely free to use, whether you end up on WordPress.com or go the self-hosted route. And yet despite this fact it can still be an incredibly daunting task for newbies to get started – and I’m talking about true newbies. Especially if you’re a small business owner who’s looking to rock out that first business site on a very limited budget and don’t have time to vet out every single issue that you might have before jumping in, the task can be a bit scary. Thankfully there are sites […]

You don’t always get a presentation from an Automattician like Lance Willett and this one’s a great one to pass on to friends or new-ish WordPress users who might be looking for that “perfect” theme. You see, Lance is like the guy when it comes to WordPress Theme “wranglin’” as they call it and is someone that our team at 8BIT has worked with for the past year or so. He’s got a neat sense of humor too, but that’s entirely off subject. Now, we all know that there is no such thing as a “perfect” theme but the point of the […]

Or at least for the high-traffic websites that are considering using ZippyKid‘s hosted solution. This makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons, which Vid Luther shares in his post. One of the neatest takeaways is the fact that they aren’t charging anything in addition for this initiative and he explains that it’s everybody’s responsibility for a better web: Sloppy code on high traffic websites compounds the problem at an exponential rate. Think about it: one page request that makes 1000 calls to the database, multiplied by 1000 requests. We want to make the web a faster place, we’re […]

If it’s not move-in day then at least it’s “build-all-the-stuff” day. But, I think it is. I’m sitting here in our brand-spankin’ new WP Daily Editorial Offices with clean floors and empty space, ready to be used. As we’ve shared previously in our office build-out, our hopes are to create an environment where we can not only build great products but also create a publishing haven for not just ourselves but also for anyone visiting the Atlanta airspace. That’s right, we would love for you to visit us if you’re in Atlanta as we’ll have more than a few chairs and desks for […]

The folks over at WordCamp Miami either have an incredible sense of humor or they are utter geniuses (oh wait, they admitted the former). Regardless of what you might think you must simply check out their unbelievable offer for their community and conference attendees with their one-of-a-kind t-shirt design titled “White Screen of Death“:
