A friend of mine sent me the following message on Facebook today: I have a buddy of mine that is an aspiring WordPress dev. I was curious if you had any linkage or inside info on perhaps ways for my buddy to find work. While I don’t have any inside information, I can tell you…
It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m just now getting caught up after spending the weekend in Los Angeles for WordCamp LA 2010. Trips to LA for me are always nice as I have a bunch of family there so I get to use WordCamp as an excuse to go and visit. Not to mention getting to…
I’m just getting back to my desk after spending the better part of 3 days in Salt Lake City to attend and present at WordCamp Utah. I had an absolute blast! Here’s a bit about the weekend. The Stay I can not say enough good things about the Chase Suite Hotel. When we arrived at…

Has it really been a month already? Wow, that was fast! Working for myself from home has been really interesting. Before making the leap I spoke with many people about it. Everybody has their own concerns & ideas about what goes on when you work from home. Some are pretty accurate, some not so much….
Many years ago I used to own a small web design company that I ran out of my house. The account manager where I hosted my client’s websites would often refer business to me when people would contact them for assistance. This is how I was introduced to Derek. He was overloaded with clients and…
A few weeks back I attended WordCamp New York. While there I was asked to take part in a discussion on canonical plugins for WordPress. I had heard of the concept but not the terminology. In case you are in the same boat, to make a plugin canonical would be to mark it as the…
