This is a post that I wanted to write for a few months now and it’s hard to find the right words without hurting the community I truly love. Like I really don’t want to call out people in the community but sometimes things go always in the way against you. And since the end […]

Last year was a great year of visiting WordPress events over the world and then specially WordCamps. In total I went to 10 WordCamps where I went to 5 new WordCamps which include that I finally went to Asia to have a look at the community in Tokyo. With a big thanks to my employee 1&1 […]

WordPress 4.0 just got released and it had some great stuff added. One of the things you do is maintaining and checking if your plugins are still compatible. For some plugins like YouTube DJ it wasn’t needed and it was as simple as increasing the “tested up to” version but for others I had to do […]

Recently I started building stuff on top of the WordPress API’s. They have quite some data you could retrieve and you can do really cool stuff with it. On WPCentral.io you can already see how I’m using the version APIs and the download API to retrieve some really awesome stats. I just added linear graphs on […]

Today I’m going to tell how I experienced my first WordCamp talk. It was far from good and a lot of things happened afterwards that some people most likely would have stopped speaking.

This weekend I looked at WP Core Contributions Widget from Eric Mann. I wanted to fix that it didn’t always show the ticket number.

I always used my site as a playground and in the upcoming weeks I’m trying to modernize it and make it more stable. Tonight I started with updated my about text a bit and the style of my buttons to be more flat. Also trying to see how I can integrate my daily work better in […]

On Friday January 17th I will be speaking at WordCamp Paris. It’s an honor for me to be speaking at this WordCamp since it’s their first WordCamp that allows English talks. Another reason why this is special is that my employer 1&1 will sponsor this WordCamp too and it will be their first. The organization also […]

Last year was a interesting year and a year that I had enough discussions about things that I disliked in the WordPress community. And I know that some people got offended by it and think I nag about everything. The interesting part is that my friends outside WordPress know be in a complete different way. […]

In one of my previous blog posts I talked about changing the image editor UI. But this is just a small thing in the whole workflow of dealing with images. Some of the pain points are within how we deal with creating image sizes and how we can edit those and I will going to […]
