Best episode ever? This might be my favorite one so far. Your guest The WordPress Wizard was incredibly insightful. You took this episode to a different level than a lot of WP Weeklys, this helped more with addressing clients and the reasoning / explanations of using WP. Excellent questions, answers, material. I looked up several sites and plugins that were referred to verbally in this after listening to it twice last weekend (yes it took me a while to get around to hearing this one, but it was worth saving and focusing on it). I hope this guest returns for more. I kind of want to do what she does, in helping introduce more people to WP. I have already showed a couple local businesses how and why to use WP, RSS, and Twitter. I think I’m on the page that WP Wizard is on. She’s right on. Thanks for this Jeffro, David, Cathy.

@Jeffro - Yeah, 100 episodes will be a real accomplishment, better have a party for that milestone! It would be interesting to hear from Lorelle about her experiences on WordPress.com specifically. I have thought about doing some casual blogging on WordPress.com myself, just to learn more about that particular aspect of the WordPress community. And of course buy a few fancy upgrades and contribute to WordPress a bit more. ;)

@JLeuze - Thanks Man, feels good to reach 50 but it will feel even better to hit 100. Lorelle is a WordPress.com blogger so maybe I'll get her on to explain more about the differences between .com and .org @Patrick D. - Nice to have you part of the live show for once. The aftershow was everything but normal but that is what happens during every aftershow. @Vin - The SEO plugin she mentioned was called HeadSpace 2 SEO I'll have to give the podcast a listen again to get the other plugins she mentioned.

Good show. I sometimes have to train users too so was good to her Cathy’s perspective. What was that SEO plugin called that she mentioned? There were a few other good plugins, like the one she couldn’t pronounce.

Anyone know any of the plugins she mentioned?

Any links would be appreciated.

I’d also be interested to hear a WordPress.com blogger on the show.

[...] Lastly, on April 11th, Jeff Chandler and I released our episode, and while Jeff did give the episode a little bit of a special notice, the episode was more about our special guest, Cathy Perkins otherwise known as The WordPress Wizard and so the episode was named “Interview With Cathy Perkins”.

First time listening live. Usually download for the drive to work. Good show. After-show was…odd, but interesting.

Congratulations on hitting number fifty Jeffro!

It was neat to hear about Cathy’s experiences with new users as I myself do quite a bit of training and support of new users.

Maybe you should get a WordPress.com blogger on the show sometime. It would be interesting to get the perspective of a regular end user that is just concentrated on blogging and not tinkering like most of us ;)
