Church Podcasting – Theme or Plugin?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked with a church that uses WordPress as their CMS of choice and loves it. Having worked in church tech for several years, I saw this so many times. It’s a great platform with a low barrier of entry and great resources for those without massive marketing […]
WordPress Theme Review Team
One of my goals this year was to contribute back to WordPress in a meaningful way. I decided in December that I would accomplish this by joining the theme review team. As January comes to a close, I’ve started to take stock of what I’ve accomplished in the goal arena and how I can improve […]
