WPMU DEV And WordCamps – Starting With WCUS 2018!
When it comes to WordCamps, we are longtime listeners, first-time callers. What I mean is that from early on, we have enjoyed attending and occasionally speaking at different camps around the world, but besides a few smaller exceptions, we’ve not really gone ‘all in’ on sponsoring. That’s changing for us in a pretty big way […]
WordCamp Manchester: My First Lighting Talk
This weekend just gone was WordCamp Manchester over here in the UK (yes, the real Manchester for our American following). I gave my first ever kind of talk and in truth, post talk I felt like maybe I was a bumbling idiot in front of people. We’re our own worse critic, right? So, I want to […]

WordPress Turns 15: A Look Back at Its Greatest Hits
If you can believe it, WordPress is about to turn 15! Where has the time gone? I wish I could say it seems like only yesterday when people were building websites and blogs with the likes of GeoCities, Blogger, and, of course, b2/cafelog… but it doesn’t feel that way. A lot has changed since the […]

Everything You Wanted to Ask a GDPR Expert but Were Afraid to Ask
If you’re like 99.9% of developers, site managers, agencies and freelancers, the last thing on your list of priorities for the past 2 years has been GDPR compliance.
