What is it with certain webhosts? I mean, I know that none of the Fantastico-type installers have yet caught up to the fact that you can upgrade WordPress automatically from within the dashboard, so whenever you log into your control panel, it’s going to tell you that you need to upgrade even though you already… Continue Reading Manual Upgrades Are Not a Thing of the Past

Theme Options vs. Plugins for Controlling WordPress Features and Functions

November 11, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The most popular premium (and free) themes almost all have Theme Options, places where you can go in and change the way your WordPress installation work.

Sallie Goetsch has delivered the website for my podcast network that I have been dreaming of for a decade. When my then-partner and I started our one podcast in January 2005, we quickly launched a website on one of the many blogging/content management systems available. As the years passed and we added shows, it became clear that the platform didn’t lend itself to our needs, but we didn’t have the skill required to build out a complex WordPress site that would accommodate multiple shows, hosts, and other elements. Sallie undertook the project and delivered a brilliant site that met every one of my requirements, along with some considerations that had never even occurred to me. Now the site is appealing, easy to navigate, ridiculously easy to update, and it reflects the theme and sensibilities of the shows in the network. It looks great on mobile devices. Even our sponsors are happier being part of our vastly improved web presence. During the process, Sallie was easy to work with and brimming with ideas. I can’t imagine working with anybody but Sallie on any future WordPress projects that come my way.

@mvolpe Seems to me that if their employees are willing to leave them, the problem isn't with you.

@ChrisBadgett I'm impressed. Though mainly with your wife.
