Why I need WordLand

WordCamp Canada • Ottawa, Ontario • October 15-17

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 and Radio UserLand (I am the founder of UserLand). 

Here's an example of a show notes page rendered through that template. 

The idea of WordLand is to do all the block-oriented work once, outside of the writing environment, then flow the writing through it, far away from the heavy lifting. It’s always how I’ve done my blogging tools. 

I understand WordPress so far has a steady workflow through the block editor, but these are workflows for designers and programmers. WordLand is the flow for writers.

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…

  • WordPress community blogs?

    I've been reading various interesting WordPress community blogs.  I'd love to compile a list of these blogs. I would publish the list in a form that others can plug it into their feed readers, or use it as a start for creating their own lists. I figure the WordPress blogging community should be the best…
