Three Thoughts About Marketing WordPress.com Themes

May 28, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

For the last few months now, I’ve been selling Mayer exclusively on WordPress.com and I’ve really enjoyed it.

The thing is, for those that have kept up with the work I’ve been doing with WordPress over the past few years, you know that I’ve been involved in the development of several different themes (and still am, but more on that later).

The Mayer Demo on WordPress.com

But in working exclusively with the marketplace, there have been a number of questions that I’ve been thinking about as it relates to marketing WordPress.com themes.

Generally speaking, I don’t have answers to these, though I’m happy to share my thoughts; however, I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions as well.

The Pressware Pipeline

May 26, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

Recently, I’ve been asked when I’m planning to bring Mayer to self-hosted WordPress installations.

The short answer is that I don’t have a definitive answer, but I am working on the Pressware shop. The longer answer has more to do with my current backlog of work and the things that I’m trying to accomplish before doing so – that is, it has a lot to do with what’s happening within the Pressware pipeline.

To that end, I thought it might be worth sharing the current plans I have for Mayer, the eCommerce gateway I’m working to setup for Pressware as well as my current theme backlog.

Looking at the Next Version of Dev Practices

May 16, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

For a little over half a year now, I’ve been running (or simply managing, at times) a Tumblr blog called Dev Practices. The whole idea behind the blog is simply this:

A day in the life of a developer as illustrated by GIFs.

But I’ve been surprised. The site’s been a lot of fun to manage, people have been contributing to it, and there’s a backlog of at least a month’s worth of content.

So, like any developer at this point, I’ve started thinking about Dev Practices 2.0 (of course, I should probably come up with a better than than name, right?)

Title Capitalization for WordPress 1.1.2

May 9, 2014 / Tom / 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I released the first version of Title Capitalization for WordPress. After the first version was released, I received some feedback both in the form of code reviews, issues, and some other minor updates.

In case you missed it, I released 1.1.2 to GitHub on May 4th (because you should always ship something on Star Wars day :).

The Logo for the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

May 2, 2014 / Tom

As discussed earlier last month, the next version of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate is currently in development.

For those who are interested:

You can find the current stable version on GitHub.
The `develop` branch to which the core team and I are working (though we’re not currently accepting pull requests).
And you can read about the changes in the upcoming version in this previous post.

The foundation of the status of the next version of the Boilerplate currently leaves a lot to be desired, but the team and I – along with the help of Slack (probably a topic for another post ) – are in the process of planning the upcoming website that will accompany the project.

Slack - WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

The problem? We’re all developers, but we need a logo.
