Using Bidsketch to create and manage client proposals – a review

Her session was called “Custom Tailoring the WordPress Admin Experience,” and you can, and should, watch it here on WordPress.tv. I’m on a constant quest to make the WordPress […]

I’ve been asked by several people lately how I added the Soliloquy slider to the Metro theme home page on one of my demo sites, citychurch.bhwebworks.com. So in anticipation of more inquiries I decided to write this tutorial explaining how I added the slider to that home page, which you can see in the screenshot […]
TortoiseSVN, the WordPress plugin repository, and PROPPATCH errors
This past weekend I was doing some work on a couple WordPress plugins that I have hosted in the WordPress plugin repository. One of them has been there since May of 2013 and the other was just approved this weekend. I had made some updates to the older plugin and needed to commit those changes […]
