Are you registering a new domain?
If you are, then maybe you've been doing what I've been doing forever—using GoDaddy. For years I've been buying domains from GoDaddy. And before you start thinking about all the negative feelings you have about the company, you should know that I've rarely had any issues with their domain registration services. Additionally, I've gotten to...
No comments on your posts? Don't make these Four mistakes
Do you have tons of posts without any comments on them? When I was first getting started with this blog, I would go for days (and sometimes weeks) without a comment. Then I would head to popular blogs and see posts that had 150 comments. Ugh. Why did they get all the comments and I...
Lies that stop us from breaking into WordPress
Tomorrow I'll be speaking at the Digital Commerce Summit—put on by Rainmaker Digital, the folks that created the Rainmaker Platform that hosts this site. My talk is titled, \"Breaking into WordPress.\" Have you thought about breaking into WordPress? When I set out to create this talk, I knew that my focus was going to be...
The Top WordPress Membership Plugins of 2016
The Top WordPress Membership Plugins in 2016 Last year I looked at a ton of different membership plugins to pick the best one of 2015. Thirty plugins was a lot to review. The good news--many of them didn't change all that much, so I didn't need to write 30 more posts. Instead, I thought I...
Styling MailChimp forms (without pulling your hair out)
Everyone loves MailChimp. If you've been working on WordPress sites for any amount of time, and you've helped a client get an email list set up, then you've likely worked with MailChimp. It's not only a powerful solution, but it also starts off free. And people love free. So whether you're using MailChimp now or...
Choosing a WordPress Drag and Drop Page Builder
The other day I explained why we were going to keep seeing Page Builders everywhere. If you don't know what a page builder is, think of it as an easy solution for people to drag and drop various items onto a web page so that they can make their own sites and pages look how...
Why I'm sticking with Rainmaker after that other product launched...
Have you ever seen a house get built? If you've never been part of building a house, or watched a house or building get built, then the metaphor or illustration I am about to use won't make much sense. But if you've ever seen it or been part of a home-building project, you know that...
User submitted posts using Ninja Forms 3
Have you seen the new Ninja Forms 3? The other day I highlighted that I didn't like the new Divi interface. And it has nothing to do with a) I'm dumb and don't know how to use the Internet, b) I harbor some special anger or frustration with the Divi, or c) I'm against all...
There is always an \"us\" but not always a \"them\"
Let me get this out of the way—this is a post about another post about a dynamic that may or may not exist within a community of people around an open source software project that is undefined because anyone is free to participate at any level they want. Even if you dig WordPress, this may not...
Why it makes sense to hire small agencies
I can still remember one of the first times I sold enterprise software to an enterprise client. They were a very large and well-known financial organization and I was sitting in a meeting with their senior technical staff. I was young and nervous at the meeting until I asked a question and heard the answer. \"What's...
