Comments are closed on this post. If you have questions or comments, leave them at The Pressware Shop.

For those of you celebrating the 4th of July here in the United States and over the course of the weekend, I hope that you have a great time. For those of you who are elsewhere, I still hope you have a great time and find something to celebrate even if it’s just the fact that it’s the weekend :).

As with most other WordPress companies, I’m offering up a 4th of July holiday sale on Mayer for WordPress over at The Pressware Shop.

Three Thoughts About Marketing WordPress.com Themes

May 28, 2014 / / 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 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 / / 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?)
