Post Status PodcastsHow has WordPress changed your life?Last week, I was in New York City for WordCamp and some client meetings. The event was a huge success, with four full tracks of expert designers, developers, and WordPress professionals sharing what they’ve learned.
I had a great time with everyone there. I saw old friends, and met new friends.
I had my recording equipment with me, and I asked a question to some folks there: how has WordPress changed your life?
Here are their answers:

He uses WordPress on all three of his primary projects. For years, Chris has been a consistent advocate for the platform. He develops his own websites with WordPress, but his day-to-day interactions are as a user.
Chris brings a unique perspective, I believe. He did some client work early in his career, but he’s been more involved in SaaS projects and membership websites; his current membership websites are on Wor...2014-07-141h 06Post Status PodcastsEvermore, hosted WordPress with power and ease of useFinally, finally someone has done it. They’ve combined the power of self-hosted WordPress with the ease of hosted WordPress.com.
Evermore is WordPress for everyone. It comes with “the most important functionality built in.”
There aren’t loads of tiny upsells like other hosted services (I’m looking at you, WordPress.com), and there are only two plans. It is not free. You can pay $50 per month, or $75 per month, and each plan comes with a 10x setup fee.
But the result is exactly what you’d hope for: a very powerful, functional...2014-06-1944 minPost Status PodcastsWP eCommerce: What’s old is new again.WP eCommerce is one of the oldest WordPress plugins you’ll find. That it’s an eCommerce plugin — built on WordPress, well before such a thing seemed sensible — is even more of a testament to just how impressive this plugin is. It’s been under development for eight years, and is nearing 3 million downloads on WordPress.org.
Today, WP eCommerce is working to shed layers of duplicate functionality that can now be replaced by WordPress core. It’s a wicked thing for a product to be ahead of its time. An eCommerce plugin built on WordPress is clearly — we...2014-06-101h 02Post Status PodcastsFrom ThemeForest to Array, the story of a theme business Mike McAlister has been an active member of the commercial WordPress theme space since 2009. He started by selling themes on ThemeForest. He transitioned to the Okay Themes brand in December of 2011. And at the end of March of this year, Mike transitioned yet again to Array.
While these transitions may seem like arbitrary branding, to me they represent broader shifts both in Mike’s style and the direction of the commercial WordPress space in general. He’s never really attempted to fit anyone else’s mold, but I believe he’s done quite well at predicting the market and st...2014-04-2252 minPost Status PodcastsPantheon for WordPress: a website hosting and management platform Pantheon is a website development, deployment, and hosting platform. But they aren’t just any host. They like to think of their product as a hosting killer, because in their mind, they do much more than just hosting.
I heard about Pantheon for the first time last year, when it was a Drupal-only platform. When Pantheon announced last week that their platform would now support WordPress, I knew I had to check it out.
I spoke with Josh Koenig, one of the co-founders of Pantheon, and the Head of Developer Experience for the company.
