Every now and then, just because I’m the biggest WordPress dork I know, I like to just peruse the plugin database to see what’s been updated recently. After all, how can you use new plugins if you don’t know they’re there? I’m glad I looked when I did – I found a few plugins that…

Feed Me! Bring an RSS Feed Anywhere in your Site
Many of us are guilty of running multiple blogs – we have personal blogs, work blogs, and even blogs for our pets. If you’re like me, however, you still like to show the different sides of yourself around your different sites. WordPress’ built in RSS Widget does a great job at bringing external feeds into…

I had the privilege honor of being the technical editor for Lisa Sabin Wilson’s (then) newest book “WordPress Web Design for Dummies” from Wiley Publishing. It’s chock full of creamy WordPress goodness, ranging from choosing the right tools, building WordPress as a CMS (my favorite part), and even going into what makes themes tick and…

Ok, I promise this is the last post about BlogWorld… but I wanted to elicit a bit of a briefing from people who attended (or didn’t attend) my session. Namely, I had a few questions I’d like to get some answers to: If you attended… Did you enjoy the session? What was your WordPress knowledge…

Three Awesome Vendors from BlogWorldExpo in New York
This won’t be my last post about BlogWorld, but I think it will be one of your favorites. While I was on the expo floor I got to meet up and talk to a lot of really great vendors (both of services and software) and see just what they were all about. I wanted to…

Blogworld Hits New York (a recap)
I’m flying on my last flight back from New York (and thankful that these flights fared better than my incoming flights to LaGuardia). I finally have a little bit of time to rest, recouporate, and put into words all of the ideas, feelings, and emotions that I’ve experienced over the last week. I’ve met a…

Why Marketers (and others) Should Learn About WordPress at BlogWorld (#bweny)
I’ve made no qualms in (sometimes a little too much) mentioning that I will be speaking one week from today at BlogWorldExpo in New York City. I’m pretty excited, considering that I missed last year’s conference for the birth of our lovely son #2 (Sorry BlogWorld, it was totally worth it :). As such, I’ve…
