Software Engineering in WordPress, PHP, and Backend Development
Posts covering presentations I’ve given, talks I’ve shared, and meetups I’ve attended.
WPEka is a site that’s been around since 2011 and has been offering a variety of resources to WordPress users, designers, and developers ever since.
This past week, I had the chance to be interviewed by Disha who works for the company.
Overall, I had a lot of fun. The questions were great and I’m always a fan of being able to talk with others who are plugged into the WordPress economy in some way.
For those of you who blog regularly, you likely get a fair share of feedback and it probably comes in many forms.
You name, it’s been said either in comments, emails, and tweets. But yet, we still write and a bunch of people – perhaps more than ever – are interested in digital publishing in some capacity.
This may be writing a personal blog, this may be writing a business blog, this may be writing a technical blog, or this may be writing a blog about anything and everything. Whatever the case, there are a lot of resources out there that tell you how to be successful at what you do.
That is, they offer prescriptive solutions on what you should do in order to be successful in blogging, but I’d venture to say that if you asked 10 people what it means to be successful in blogging, you’d get 5, 8, maybe even 10 answers.

Just a little over a month ago, I shared a post in which I attempted to gauge interest about those who are looking for how to build an online store using WordPress.
In the post, I distilled it down to this:
I’m going to walk you through the process of what I did to launch The Pressware Shop and help you avoid the pitfalls that I encountered along the way.
Obviously, this is something that’s a bit niche in that it deals with WordPress and it’s talking about how to sell digital products using the platform; however, I received enough feedback to move forward with the event.
Earlier this week, I finally launched The Pressware Shop; however, this post doesn’t really have anything to do about that. If you’re interested, you can easily read more about it.
But this has more to do with you and for those of you who are interested in how to build an online store, in getting into selling digital products – specifically through WordPress – but aren’t really sure where to start.

Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bronson Quick and Jason Resnick of the WP Dev Table to talk about a number of different things (all WordPress related, obviously).
All-in-all, it was a blast. I really enjoyed the laid back style of discussion, and Jason and Bronson were great guys to hang out with for an hour or so.
But when you’re doing a Hangout or a podcast it’s not enough just to share that it was “a lot of fun to hang out,” is it?
