I just recorded a podcast to Jeremy Herve, who we’ve been working with, at Automattic.

First, he responded to my piece from last Thursday, Think Different about WordPress.

Then I recorded a 20-minute podcast in response, Last chance for the open web. That’s what it’s really about. WordPress embraced the open web and maintained that support for 22 years. It’s the best platform to build on if your intent is to create an easy writing platform for the open web.

I’m going to do more podcasts in the WordPress community in the coming months, and I think this episode would make good background. I’d be happy to elaborate on any of what’s in this podcast or in the Think Different piece.

  • Does Your Tiny Business Really Need to Worry about Accessibility?

    I’ll admit it: when I started the research for this article, I expected to find stories of altruism or political grandstanding. I was surprised by what I found. For instance, did you know that back in 1997 our very own Royal Bank of Canada installed the world’s first talking ATM in an Ottawa branch? In…

  • Why I need WordLand

    I’m primarily a writer, my podcasts reflect that, so most of the work I do on each podcast, beyond recording the audio, is in writing the show notes.  I have a template the writing and audio flow through. Fairly standard stuff, the same approach used by Tumblr and many other blogging systems, including UserLand's Manila…
