Announcing WP Learning Paths

Someone entering the WordPress space today may not know where to start, either with what to specialize in, or how to learn the skills.

Podcast Liftoff is Out Now!

Back in 2018 I attended a conference called Podcast Movement. Thousands of people coming together to talk podcasting. On the very first day – in fact, the vert first session – I talked to a couple of people who were having trouble with their websites. It was a podcast convention but they were way more interested in the fact that…
