What Are Your Thoughts on a Weekly Digest?

October 24, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

For the most part, I’m convinced that the last thing that anyone wants or needs is more email; however, I’ve also noticed that there appear to be now, more than ever, various newsletters and emails being sent out monthly, biweekly, or weekly covering a variety of topics:

And the difference that these newsletters and/or emails have is that they are 100% opt-in. That is, they ask permission (that is, the opportunity for you to opt-in) to send you email, whereas other services as for forgiveness (with the opportunity to unsubscribe) for sending you email.

So one thing I’m considering is introducing a weekly digest of sorts for the articles covered on this blog, but I genuinely want some feedback on this idea before pursuing it.

Pricing WordPress Plugins (or “The Dangers of The App Store Model”)

October 23, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

When it comes to pricing WordPress plugins, this isn’t exactly new territory. In fact, I’d say when it comes to pricing any online service or product, there are already tried and true ways that prove to be useful given certain scenarios.

It’s basic economics, I suppose.

So this post isn’t so much about various ways to go about pricing WordPress plugins, but what opportunities we have as developers, designers, companies, and so on as the WordPress landscape continues to change.

Introducing Pressware – Custom WordPress Development and Services

October 21, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

About three months ago, I published about on teasing Pressware.

Straight from the initial post itself:

But as years have passed, my focus has shifted, and I’ve begun to target specific things – namely WordPress and its tangential topics – I thought it fitting to label the business in that direction. Thus, The Pressware Company, or Pressware, for short.

And as of today, I’m proud to finally be releasing the landing page and the official launch of the brand.

Symbolic Links with WordPress: Working With Nested Directories in Repositories

October 18, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

I – along with a number of other contributors – have been working hard to close out issues and prepare the next version of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.

Sure, I’m excited, but while working on this particular plugin, I realized that for anyone who does work with a WordPress plugins either via git or Subversion, that you may be working with a mess of directories while trying to develop the thing.

It’s nothing that a symbolic link can’t fix, but first, let me explain the problem.
