Automattic WordPress.com and AI
by
I first saw the news from 404media that Automattic was going to start selling user content to AI companies looking for data. As with most media companies, 404 failed to make the distinction between Automattic/WordPress.com and WordPress.org the open source software. Then I read this post about protecting user choice from Automattic which is big…
The WordPress Benevolent Dictator – Rules Don’t Apply to Me
by
Yet again the “benevolent dictator for life” Matt Mullenweg yet again feels the rules don’t apply to his personal projects. While I like so much about WordPress and can thank my involvement in the community with the house we live in, I really dislike how Matt treats much of the community. I think that wordpress.org…

I looked at this plugin just a few weeks ago and I had two bigger issues with it. First, your passwords were not encrypted in your Obsidian vault. Yes, WordPress has it on its roadmap to allow password scoping so that we could assign an application password to only do some things on a site,…
Publish from Obsidian to WordPress
by
Back in early 2022 I covered an Obsidian plugin that let you publish to WordPress and at the time I wasn’t all that impressed. It felt hard to use, didn’t remember your password, and really didn’t save any time. Since then I had it on my list to write a better plugin that took advantage…

Previously if I needed a new WordPress plugin but wasn’t able to find it easily in the WordPress admin interface I’d head over to the WordPress.org Plugin repository to download it, then use…
Opening My Workflows to Break System Lock in and Tracking
by
For about 10 years now I’ve been a happy Apple user, though lately I’ve been less happy with at least some of their offerings. My biggest issue lately has been that I don’t like their laptop line at all. Even if I was to ignore the keyboard woes plaguing their butterfly keyboards, I don’t think…

2 Tips to help you become a 6 figure WordPress consultant
by
I’ve already written about one of the kickback points from my 6 Figure WordPress Consulting post when I broke down my expenses. The second push back I got was that someone doing WordPress could even make $60k let alone invoice over $100k. I’ve done it. I can think of many people that invoice over $150k…
