I recently had the pleasure of meeting Sam Harrison, a professional Webflow consultant and content creator.  He was open to co-host a WordPress vs Webflow debate with me, while also unpacking how business is going for his services company. Heading into the debate, I spent a a few hours watching his content and really enjoyed his Webflow Components Basics + How to Start a Web Design Business. So why did I invite Sam on?  Page Builders, especially Bricks, has been the topic du jour of...

March 22 2024 It’s the WP Minute!  Today we ask, “Who’s responsible for WordPress marketing?”  Coming up next!  Josepha Haden Chomphosy, Executive Director of the WordPress Open Source project, posted an idea that shifts the dynamics of the WordPress Marketing team.  A call for a Media Press Corps. Also known as a Dramatic Shift. It’s still too early to tell if this initiative will stick, so I won’t comment directly on the idea of a Media Press Corps at the moment. Stay tuned to this...

I think it’s one of the most important default themes WordPress has released in a while. Sure, the design is fairly opinionated, but with the mix of new patterns/blocks available, I think someone with a little WordPress know how (and grit!) will be able to design a solid website for their brand or business.  Even for the freelancers or agency owners out there, searching to offer a more affordable solution for their clients, I think TT4 can fill that gap. But don’t confuse that with it being...

Getting started with WordPress.  A topic that’s been popping up a lot more in my WP Minute+ interviews lately. Where does one go when they want to get started with WordPress?  Learning how to use it.  Learning what it can do compared to its competitors.  Learning about the pockets of community to get involved with. I did what any other enterprising content creator would do, and took to ChatGPT to see how sharp the world’s most feared — sorry — leading AI system thought about that question....

# Contributing Through WordPress Training & Education It’s the WP Minute!  Let’s talk about contributing through WordPress training, education and content!  Coming right up!  Something that’s been on my mind as I loosely plot out my YouTube world domination: Contributing to WordPress through content. I recently interviewed Mark Szymanski [Home](https://markjosephszymanski.com/) for an upcoming WP Minute+ episode, where we explored the opportunities to contribute back to WordPress for...

Coming up on the WP Minute! Help me with this quick survey to shape the future of WP Minute, plus more WordPress goodness, coming right up. It’s time to take a quick survey. If you have less than 2 minutes to spare, could you head to thewpminute.com/survey and take my 3 question survey about this podcast? It’s going to help shape the future of the content here — which I’ll get into.  As 2023 wound down, I promised myself to stay out of all of the polarizing issues that crop up throughout...

Cory Miller and I discuss how the WordPress community is impacted when “big issues” clash with Matt, Automattic, and other community members. How should we handle these moments of passion and strife? It’s easy to label these issues as WPDrama, but in my opinion that’s not doing the WordPress community any favors. From the exterior, it’s categorized and shrugged off as “yet another drama issue” in WordPress land. Aren’t we all tired of that? Inside the community, or interior, it takes away...

I wanted to take today off, to have a bit of a reset from the weekly grind (often chaos) of WordPress stuff. Instead, I’m hoping I can reset expectations with you, my valued reader/listener/viewer of the WP Minute. We’re going into our 4th year of publishing content for the WordPress Professional. I quietly stopped publishing content at the Matt Report, my first “big” WordPress media brand, with a rebranding goal that was simple: Get my name out of it. The WP Minute was born. One thread...

I’ve been learning the Twenty Twenty-Four theme deeply over the last few weeks, as I feel this is one of the most important default themes ever released.  A theme that has a good set of patterns at launch, a less opinionated design than previous default themes, and with the site editing and block experience at an acceptable level for customizations.  TT4 provides a solid starting point for many small business or creators looking for a new website. My only hope is that the design team behind...

Today’s update is a brief one. If you hadn’t heard the news, WordPress 6.4 was released on November 7th. Things didn’t go as smoothly has we all hoped, with the core teams rushing to release 6.4.1 to catch a nasty bug in older versions of the curl package. The good news is, everything was patched and buttoned up for users. I’ve been spending a lot of time using, reviewing, and recording videos covering the Twenty Twenty-Four theme. I think it’s a fantastic step in the right direction and...

WooCommerce is now Woo, kinda. Here’s a quote from their announcement Say hello to Woo.com - WooCommerce post: You can call us Woo, WooCommerce, Their Supreme Wooness — whatever you’d like. But if you want to be specific: Woo is how we refer to the brand/company. WooCommerce is the open-source ecommerce platform for WordPress — Woo’s core product. So WooCommerce is now tucked away into the inner layer of Woo’s brand. Also tucked away, according to those keeping an Get all the show notes...
