Should Businesses Use WordPress?
Short answer: Yes. The longer one: WordPress has been around for over 7 years now. From its humble beginnings as the blogging software that took down MovableType, it’s morphed and changed and evolved itself into the number one content management system (or CMS) on the web today. WordPress powers over 10% of all websites on…

Welcome to studionashvegas v4.0
It’s been long overdue for a design refresh, and this weekend I pulled up my bootstraps and got to work. There are quite a few things going on (both inside and out) that have brought my template into the new year (and will keep it on top for a few years to come!) 1) HTML…

I’m sitting in my hotel room after getting a hot shower under led shower head (I love how water change its’ color as I shower) after the day’s conference. I sat outside talking to Brian Collinger for a while (he’s one of Automattic’s Code Wranglers – and the dude knows his stuff). And that’s what…
