Fränk provides a comprehensive breakdown of the Gutenberg project's four phases: content editing, site customization, collaborative editing, and multilingual capabilities. We explore how FSE is transforming WordPress by integrating new editing tools and modernising the admin interface, moving the platform from its classic roots to a more dynamic, block-based editing environment.

In a world of rapidly advancing technology and global interconnectedness, the internet has reshaped how we view culture, art, and our own social identities. The rise of large language models (LLMs) and social media has made information and trends accessible in a way that some argue dulls originality and stifles creativity.But could this cultural "stagnation" actually reveal something deeper about human nature? Are our pursuits of status and cultural relevance just relics of an old social order or intrinsic parts of who we are?On today's episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey delves into these questions with David Marx, the celebrated author of Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style and Status and Culture. Marx, whose expertise in Japanese culture and experience in corporate communications at companies like Google provide a unique perspective, explores the underlying societal forces behind fashion, identity, and status. This episode investigates the complex dance between personal identity and social symbols in an age when trends are as powerful as they are fleeting.Episode Highlights:The Role of Status in Culture: David explains that status underpins human experience, influencing perceptions of “cool” and driving cultural trends. He challenges the notion of “status games,” proposing that status is ingrained in all social interactions.Cultural Stagnation and the Internet's Impact: The Internet has redefined cultural dynamics, eliminating scarcity and creating a more homogeneous global culture. David notes that this shift prioritizes money and visibility over niche expertise, altering the pathways to cultural capital.Fashion as a Lens into Society: David argues that fashion, while often dismissed as superficial, provides a window into societal values. He demonstrates how arbitrary style choices reflect broader social hierarchies and preferences, revealing the mechanics of status in unexpected ways.Reflection on Status and Life Satisfaction: David advises listeners on navigating status-driven goals, suggesting that understanding the mechanics of status can lead to more intentional choices and a more meaningful pursuit of fulfillment.Topics Covered:The impact of status and cultural expectations on personal identityHow the internet has altered scarcity and social dynamicsViewing fashion as a mirror of societal norms and preferencesThe tension between status-seeking and meaningful life satisfactionDavid Marx is an accomplished author and cultural analyst known for his books Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style and Status and Culture. With extensive experience in corporate communications, including a senior role at Google Asia-Pacific, Marx now leads global communications for the Japanese startup Not a Hotel and serves as an outside director at Human Made, Inc. His career spans over two decades, marked by expertise in branding, editorial strategy, and cultural insight across technology, fashion, and media industries.David's perspectives make us rethink what brings real value to our lives in a status-driven world.

Say thanks and learn more about our podcast sponsor Omnisend. In this episode of WP Minute+, I sat down with Noel Tock, co-founder of Human Made, a leading Enterprise WordPress agency. We dove into the recent explosive events between Automattic and WP Engine, exploring the implications for the WordPress community and the potential for an independent WordPress.org fork.Noel's unique perspective as both an agency owner and a humanitarian worker in Ukraine provided a fascinating backdrop to our discussion. He emphasized how WordPress remains a critical tool for humanitarian efforts, powering thousands of new charities in crisis zones. This reminder of WordPress's global impact set the tone for our conversation about its future.We explored the current economic challenges facing WordPress agencies in today's competitive landscape. Noel highlighted the need for better product marketing of WordPress in the enterprise space, where it often competes as a "secondary CMS" against more comprehensive suites. This led us to discuss the potential motivations behind Matt Mullenweg's recent actions and what it might mean for the WordPress ecosystem.The core of our conversation revolved around the feasibility and implications of forking WordPress.org. We explored the technical challenges, the potential costs, and the community dynamics that would be involved in such an endeavor. Noel provided valuable insights into what it would take for an independent repository to gain traction, suggesting that incentivizing premium plugin developers could be a key strategy.Key takeaways for WordPress professionals:1 The WordPress ecosystem is facing increased competition and needs better product marketing, especially in the enterprise space.2 Forking WordPress.org would be a massive undertaking, requiring significant resources and community buy-in.3 Clarity on governance and what constitutes meaningful contribution to WordPress is crucial moving forward.4 The relationship between commercial interests and open-source principles in WordPress needs careful navigation.5 WordPress remains a critical tool for global humanitarian efforts, highlighting its importance beyond just business applications.6 The hosting industry may need to reassess its relationship with WordPress in light of recent events.7 Automattic's role as a steward of the open web extends beyond just WordPress, complicating the financial dynamics.⠀Important URLs mentioned:HumanMade.comWordPress.org@noeltockthewpminute.com/support⠀Chapter titles with timestamps:1 [00:00:00] Introduction and WordPress's role in humanitarian efforts2 [00:05:18] The state of WordPress agencies and competition3 [00:15:30] Exploring the possibility of forking WordPress.org4 [00:23:36] The potential for new WordPress marketplaces5 [00:28:00] Matt Mullenweg's role and the future of WordPress governance6 [00:32:30] Implications for the web hosting industry7 [00:34:00] Automattic's broader role in the open web8 [00:37:24] Closing thoughts on focus and learning from experiences ★ Support this podcast ★

Intense heatwaves like the one that blasted the US Midwest and northeast recently are likely to be increasingly common because of human-induced climate change, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Thursday.As if that warning wasn't bad enough, climate scientist Alvaro Silva at the WMO told me that dangerous pollutants like ozone are also common features of extended periods of heat.Here he is now, discussing the recent heat alert in the US, as well as the scorching temperatures in the Middle East that caused so many reported deaths at the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

It looks like the days of automatically sharing WordPress.com content to Twitter are over. Automattic announced that customers will no longer be able to auto-publish to Twitter via the Jetpack Social plugin.You may recall that WordPress.com's access to the Twitter API was suddenly suspended in April. While it eventually came back online, changes to Twitter's policies have made the continued use too expensive.Automattic says that Twitter's price increase is “prohibitive for us to absorb without passing a significant price increase along to you, and we don't see that as an option.” Bye bye birdie.Links You Shouldn't MissThe Beaver Builder page builder plugin has been on the market for 9 years. The WordPress landscape has changed dramatically in that time. For instance, page builders are now seen as competitors to the native Block Editor. What does that mean for the future? Matt Medeiros spoke with Robby McCullough of Beaver Builder for an in-depth discussion of the topic.There's news to report regarding this summer's WordCamp US. The first round of ticket sales started on May 1 and quickly sold out. Another round of sales will be coming soon. Meanwhile, there will be a different approach to event programming. Organizers are targeting “experienced, seasoned, professional speakers at the top of their industries who are not currently active members of our unique community.” They've put out a survey for suggested speakers and topics. A traditional call for speakers will also be announced in the near future. The event will take place from August 24-26th in National Harbor, MD.WordPress community member Michelle Frechette has launched WP Speakers. It's a free resource that connects speakers and event organizers within the WordPress ecosystem. In a press release, Frechette notes that "As well-connected as I am in WordPress, I couldn't even imagine how much more difficult it might be for someone who didn't know a lot of speakers personally. So WP Speakers was born."WordPress agency Human Made has recently published articles detailing their experimentation with AI. Now they're hosting a virtual event to examine how this technology will impact the content management system (CMS). Word on the Future is a virtual event and will take place on May 25. ★ Support this podcast ★

Check out thewpminute.com for the links.Most ImpactfulThe uncertainty surrounding social media providers like Twitter has sparked interest in alternatives. Mastodon and other Fediverse networks have received a look. But longtime WordPress users may recall a self-hosted option: BuddyPress.The venerable plugin can turn any WordPress website into a social hub. It still boasts over 100,000 active installs. And even if you haven't heard much about it lately, it's still very much in development. Version 11.1 was released back in February.And as Sarah Gooding of WP Tavern reports, a Virtual Contributor Day will be held on April 20. It coincides with French WordPress Community Contributor Day in Paris.Taking the current social media climate into account, BuddyPress may have an opportunity to grow. That's not to say it will overtake Twitter or Facebook anytime soon. But it could become an attractive option for those who want to build smaller, tight-knit communities.Links You Shouldn't MissIf you've purchased (or are planning to purchase) any commercial extensions from the WooCommerce Marketplace, you may notice some price increases. The WP Minute has confirmed that emails are being sent to customers announcing higher costs for yearly renewals. In an email exchange, a WooCommerce support representative stated that “Only a subset of extensions had their prices changed.” We've reached out to WooCommerce's official press channels but have not yet received any comments. Have you been impacted by a price hike? Let us know on Twitter @thewpminute.WordCamp Europe is all about the kids!

For the first episode of 2023, Jason speaks with Cory Mangum, a Risk and Insurance Manager at Primoris Services Corporation. Jason and Cory discuss changing the narrative around risk management, the psychology behind human-made disasters, and what constitutes intelligent risk taking.

Sam is an artist, writer, creator, and single father living in the Bay Area in California. He is a college drop-out and ex-meth head, who came out of a ten-year bender at the age of twenty-two with severe clinical depression, a two-year-old son, and zero life skills. Simply put, there is nobody more genuinely curious about how to be a human being.   He's now the founder of Hello Humans, a platform for storytellers who capture the truth of what it means to be human. His site is chock full of stories from regular folks, like you and me, who share their experiences dealing with the trials and tribulations of real life. Life isn't what we show the world on social media; it's often a lot messier than that.

Tom Willmot has been a WordPress pioneer and leader in the agency space since co-founding Human Made in 2010. Just in the past year, Human Made has more than doubled its size with a team of 100. Tom is also CEO and co-founder of Altis DXP, Human Made's enterprise WordPress digital experience platform. I caught up with Tom this week to find out what he's thinking about the challenges and opportunities of the enterprise market for WordPress agencies today.Sparked by Magne Ilsaas's ideas in The WordPress Enterprise Paradox, Tom started a Twitter thread and hosted a live discussion this week about the challenges of not having a well-defined brand and market for enterprise WordPress. In the minds of clients beyond the WordPress and open-source community not to mention unhelpful tech industry analysts, "WordPress" is something you can buy, and it's often confused with any number of related brands: Automattic, WordPress VIP, and managed WordPress hosts that support enterprise clients.After getting an outline of the problem as it stands today, I asked Tom what might help differentiate "Enterprise WordPress" as a collective or entire ecosystem of agencies operating within it. Can open-source values of sharing and cooperation shape a unique global identity for enterprise WordPress agencies? Is it time for an inter-agency association or "guild" to take on these challenges? (Human Made has an internal "guild" structure of cross-functional teams — what could it look like to extend them across the whole agency space?)And how might that look within the WordPress ecosystem and others adjacent to it? Are more inter-agency gatherings needed along with greater participation in existing tech and design conferences? Will agencies like Human Made resume hosting conferences like their Day and Week of REST events in the past? Can the larger WordCamps cater to an enterprise track? Does Enterprise WordPress need its own conferences? I like Jeremy Keith and ClearLeft as a model for agency thought leadership. Magne has pointed to the Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) as a model for organized peer collaboration and North Patrol as a model for a research and advisory firm that connects agencies with clients and reports on regional enterprise webtech markets.This is an open, ongoing conversation. If it piques your interest, connect with Tom on Twitter: @tomwillmot.

On the podcast today we have Fränk Klein. Fränk is a self-taught developer. He started out learning PHP in 2011 and from there found his way to WordPress. Over the years he's worked for Automattic at WordPress.com and WordPress VIP, and is now a principal developer at Human Made, an enterprise WordPress agency. We talk about how Fränk decided early on that he was going to start developing with blocks and, more recently, with the full site editing capabilities now built into WordPress Core. Fränk explains how he sees the adoption of Gutenberg as inevitable. WordPress is moving away from the classic approach of content creation to a more visual, block-based experience. He thinks that it's important to become an expert at building websites and custom solutions for clients, and for taking the time to learn the new tools that this future will require.

Transcript ↓This week in Post Status Slack, Lesley Sim, the founder of Newsletter Glue, dropped this announcement:"While everybody is offering discounts for Black Friday, we're planning to significantly raise prices. We'll be narrowing our target audience and focusing mainly on medium-large publishers and online businesses; working with them more closely and providing a high level of customization and support."What motivated Lesley's decision? Where does she expect it to take her company?For some background, listen to my recent conversation with Till Krüss, whose business model for Object Cache Pro and conversations following from it were part of Lesley's thinking about her own product.In this conversation with Lesley, we talk about:Pay attention to the shape of your market and your pricing.Lesley SimLesley's experience with Black Friday sales tactics."Lifetime" memberships and licenses.Where Newsletter Glue started and how its pricing model has changed.Why freemium didn't work for Newsletter Glue.Lesley's experience entering — and leaving — the WordPress plugin directory.How Newsletter Glue's pricing has steadily evolved toward a better match with its ideal customers.How Lesley accessed enterprise agencies and clients.What Lesley has learned and hopes to achieve in the future.The technical challenges and barriers to reaching a high-end market.

Human-made chemicals with the unexpected ability to interfere with our body's endocrine system have become prominent contaminants in daily life. Because the hormones produced by our endocrine system create complex signaling networks that control our growth, maturation, fertility, immunity, behavior, and sleep, these endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, can exert powerful biological effects. Declines in human fertility evidenced by falling sperm counts and increases in the incidence of infertility raise concern that daily exposure to EDC contaminants already is impacting human fertility. By design, all species are responsive to their environment. In humans, this responsiveness means that changes in our environment can affect the production of eggs and sperm, the growth and development of the fetus, and adult susceptibility to disease. Thus, in a 21st century world characterized by environmental crises, EDCs represent a planetary health problem with the potential to affect future generations.

Tod Goldberg is the New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen books, including The Low Desert, Gangsterland, a finalist for the Hammett Prize, Gangster Nation, The House of Secrets, which he co-authored with Brad Meltzer, and Living Dead Girl, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He is also the co-host of the wildly popular podcast Literary Disco, named a top literary podcast by the Washington Post. He is a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside where he founded and directs the Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing & Writing for the Performing Arts. With gimlet-eyed cool and razor-sharp wit, the spare, stylish stories in The Low Desert assemble a world of gangsters and con men, of do-gooders breaking bad and those caught in the crossfire. The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the unexplainable loss of an adopted daughter; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. Raymond Carver meets Elmore Leonard in this extraordinary collection of contemporary crime writing set in the critically acclaimed Gangsterland universe, a series called "gloriously original" by The New York Times Book Review.
