This meetup was the first in a new format, in that it had a larger collection of talks and lightning talks as well to get a broad range of speakers from…
I’m delighted to announce that I’m speaking at WordCamp London, happening the weekend of 8th and 10th April, 2016. The talk I’m giving is my “Top Tools to Use for WordPress SEO (to use as well as Yoast’s Stuff)” talk, though this is a full session, rather than a lightning talk. In this talk I’ll…
Recently I have been working on a project where we needed to save CMB2 Colour Picker field as a RGB field. As great as CMB2 is, by default, the field is saved as hexadecimal field (like #FFFFFF). This makes sense as it is the most common ways to display colours on the internet. However, should you…
Before I worked in WordPress development, I worked in SEO. One event that I owe a lot to is MancSAS (formally MancSEO), which was an monthly industry meetup back in the day that saw me network with the right people and ended up finding my first SEO job as well as my first job in…
I was browsing Facebook when I couldn’t sleep a few days ago, when I saw a sponsored ad from a company I follow – Mailchimp – announcing they are closing the Social plugin.

We’re a few weeks into the New Year already, and already there has been some interesting developments in the WordPress world.

Happy New Year Everybody! I hope you had a great break and are feeling refreshed for the new year! We took a nice break, we didn’t switch off totally but did end up having a fair few days just keeping an eye on things rather than doing much work. It is definitely needed though as projects…
So as alluded to in the previous post, 2015 has been an interesting year for me personally, and professionally there’s been a lot of changes as well, most of which has been good. This post will hopefully be a bunch of thoughts on the year. Scrum Down Right. I’ve no idea if this is Scrum…
So as we hurtle towards the end of the year, one easy blog post you can write is the “People to Follow in 2016”. It’s an easy post to write: simply pick X amount of people, write a short bio, and tell those who have been featured the URL. Queue big chatter on social media, and…
Happy December! This is an interesting time of year as 2015 has seemingly flown by. Personally I’ve had better years, but 2016 could be a huge year for me. I’ve a lot that I want to focus on and improve on, and now that I’m fairly comfortable in myself, I’m beginning to look outward an…
