Listen "Post Status equals future"
Episode Synopsis
Thanks Pressable for supporting the podcast! What hosting should feel like...nothing! https://pressable.com/wpminute Post Status founder Brian Krogsgard has sold the remaining half of his ownership of the WordPress media brand to his partner, Cory Miller.
Kicking off his his farewell post, A New Era for Post Status, Brian states:
“It has been an extreme privilege to create and run this community — and see it blossom into a wonderful entity with its own identity. In the last few years, I’ve worked to bring more voices and more talent into the fold, and I’m confident that I leave Post Status in very able hands.”
I had a chance to Interview Cory Miller about the transition, and here’s what he had to say. (Hit play on the podcast, reader!)
You can gain more insight from Cory’s announcement on the website and his Draft podcast episode.
The Blocksy Theme, was covered on the Tavern recently highlighting all of their investments into the theme + Gutenberg. It’s better for all of WordPress when we see a privately owned theme company growing these days.
Stackable Gutenberg page builder founder Benjamin Intal was interviewed on the WP Jukebox podcast delivering his outlook on the now competitive Gutenberg block landscape as compared to his start back in 2018. Note the use of the phrase, “Gutenberg page builder” a noteworthy and intentional title in his pitch about the company.
Affiliate Royale has re-branded to EasyAffiliate. You can see the whole new brand and website at EasyAffiliate.com. It’s a CaseProof owned company which includes PrettyLink and MemberPress, both of which owner Blair Williams entered into the Awesome Motive accelerator WP Beginner Growth Accelerator program, a Syed Balkhi owned initiative.
Oldies but goodies
The Query Block received some enhancements back in the Gutenberg 10.6 update. Pay close attention to the Query Block. I think it’s important to how users experience pulling content out of WordPress and displaying it on the front-end and will be crucial in the full-site editing experience.
How do you feel about presenting your vaccination status at the next WordCamp? A proposal including comments from around the community was posted back on May 12th.
I interviewed Brian Casel founder of ZipMessage over on The Matt Report podcast.
