Displaying 1 To 13 Of 13 Comments Do You Mistrust A Company That Misspells WordPress? If I was looking at a resume that had typos in it, I would toss out that resume. Especially for a programming job. It’s not a great leap to imagine that the applicant’s code is sloppy, too. When I’m looking for a company to buy a theme or plugin from, or to hire to work on WordPress for me, their website is their resume. If it misspells WordPress, they’ve instantly lost my confidence. First impressions are important. Now let’s be clear: if I get an email or tweet or IM or whatever from a developer or project manager that misspells WordPress, I’m not going to care. That’s an entirely different scenario than misspelling WordPress in your marketing material, which I believe is what this post is specifically about. » Posted By Michael On May 17, 2013 @ 1:21 PM New Company Releases Evil WordPress Plugin This doesn’t bother me one bit. I think it’s funny, actually. If anything, it’s a welcome reminder that websites can do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g they want with the data you give them. Keep your guard up. » Posted By Michael On May 9, 2013 @ 9:35 AM The Biggest Challenge For WordPress? If the core is developed faster than the themes and the plugins, then the poor user is left behind and will not update for fear of breaking something they cannot fix or cannot afford to have fixed. There are too many variations already with theme and plugin conflicts. And switching away from an outdated theme can be time consuming and costly (time and money). Progress and improvement are great until you start drowning people in the wake. » Posted By Michael On April 17, 2012 @ 7:34 PM TimThumb Vulnerability Bites Another Victim This is why I stopped using the script all together. Why take the risk … it is always being updated, which is a pain and you are never sure if it is stable or not and for how long. » Posted By Michael On April 10, 2012 @ 8:46 AM Determining Which Plugins Are Slowing Your Site Down Great find and thanks for sharing. Unlike others I think it’s a shame that elephant murdering Go Daddy is sponsoring the plugin. I want nothing to do with that company. » Posted By Michael On February 16, 2012 @ 3:48 AM Plugin Repository Should Have A Favorites Button That’s a great idea. WordPress.org could use a bit of social web spice to make the site more functional and useful. » Posted By Michael On January 11, 2012 @ 2:43 AM Some Orgnizations And WordPress Just Don’t Mix As much as I love WordPress I found myself agreeing with a lot of what he had to say. In my opinion there is a lot of stuff being left to plugins that should be baked into the core. » Posted By Michael On January 11, 2012 @ 2:53 AM Crummy Advertising On WordPress.com I still think that wp.com should have its ads. But as soon as you buy even the smallest upgrade, ads should be gone. » Posted By Michael On November 14, 2011 @ 10:43 AM Some Not Happy With Flyout Menus Didn’t like the idea at first. But I played around with the development version, and it’s clear that the flyouts make navigating the dashboard much faster. It’s actually been painful to go back to some live sites I have where I have to expand/contract the menus manually. » Posted By Michael On October 12, 2011 @ 10:49 AM Using WordPress To Create Multiple Image Sizes Definitely better than TimThumb. I’ve used this method for a bunch of client projects over the past few months and I won’t go back. Really powerful and really simple — you just declare a size with add_image_size and then insert it wherever with the_post_thumbnail. (And yet so many ThemeForest themes still tell you to upload files with specific dimensions.) » Posted By Michael On September 14, 2011 @ 3:36 PM Great write up on MOJO Themes. I am a recent seller on MOJO Themes and I have been nothing but impressed with them. I uploaded FolioStudio a week ago and have been treated amazing. I also bought a few items from them and they all worked great. I don’t think there is much to worry about considering MOJO Themes is still pretty new. Every custom built software has issues. When I tried uploading on Themeforest it took 4 attempts before it worked. Once the item was uploaded, it got lost in the queue and they had to search where it went. And still I have no response as to where the item went. I don’t blame them, cause I completely understand bugs in software. Keep doing what you’re doing MOJO, I am a fan! And props for building the site with WordPress! » Posted By Michael On June 28, 2010 @ 12:15 AM Following this discussion I’m not sure what the status is on “viewing videos on the iPad”: Is it possible to use Videopress and show videos on mobile devices like iPad? » Posted By Michael On July 28, 2010 @ 8:45 AM I like the similarities with WordPress, which make it easier to modify templates, install plugins, etc if you’re a WordPress user. I agree it’s a little immature still and that makes me nervous. Cruise the bbPress forums and it seems plugin questions can go answered indefinitely. I thought the same about WordPress when it started though and used Pivot for quite a while before WP took the next step :) » Posted By Michael On July 11, 2009 @ 12:59 AMComments Posted By Michael
