The Biggest WordPress Moves While Mullenweg was on Sabbatical Matt Mullenweg is returning from his 3 month sabbatical, dubbed “Samattical”, which kicked off February 1, 2024. He handed the CEO reigns back to Toni Schneider and placed Daniel Bachhuber in charge of WordPress.com in his absence. I thought we'd see the whole organization coast while the open source benevolent dictator dug his toes into the sand, but Automattic/WordPress stayed as busy as ever!I don't know how much Mullenweg was involved with all of these milestones — something tells me he didn't stay as disconnected as he had hoped. Let's take a look at some of the big moves that happened with WordPress, Automattic, and the community while Matt was away. 1. The WP Tavern Hunger GamesOne of the first major activities to kick off was the search for two new full-time writers to breathe life back into WP Tavern. It was a Hunger Games-esque approach, where 7 or 8 writers, duked it out to be crowned winner #1 & #2. Author Brian Coords was the last contestant to publish a post on March 14th, 2024. There hasn't been any clear announcement on who earned the position or what happens next, and most authors I've spoken to are still wondering what's next for their writing careers at the Tavern. 2. Woo.com → WooCommerce.comSomething I didn't have on my Bingo Card was the short-lived woo.com domain defaulting back to the original WooCommerce.com domain. “Moving to Woo.com created challenges for our users to find WooCommerce in Google searches, which were made worse following Google's March update. To address those challenges, we assembled a group of SEO experts and consultants to evaluate the best way to build on the strength of the WooCommerce brand.” Kevin Bates wrote in an update.3. The Old WP-Admin Dashboard is New for WordPress.comIn another, what's old is new again, WordPress.com is giving users the ability to “roll back” to a traditional WP Admin interface. It seems there's no future for the once innovative Calypso project, citing that developers were looking for a more familiar interface when working on WordPress.com sites. This might be a sign that more WordPress consultants are starting to recommend .com more to their customers now that the platform has been supporting user installed plugins on the $30/mo+ plans. 4. Automattic spends an additional $125 Million on Messaging with Beeper Acquisition Automattic is pouring money into messaging, with its latest acquisition of Beeper. Which I'm assuming Mullenweg was quite active on during sabbatical. I like the idea of Automattic building up a strong solution for messaging. In a world where SEO is getting squeezed and social media feeds being curated by ad-driven algos, we need more direct channels with our readers/subscribers/customers — and I think that's direct messaging.It could be an exciting new frontier with Automattic leading the charge, and I'm here for it!WordPress Studio: The Future of Local Development?5. WordPress.com Launches Studio AppThe new Studio app allows users to run WordPress installs, locally on their computer. This is a great way to learn WordPress and develop WordPress sites for free. It's powered by the same technology that runs the official WordPress playground and gives users the ability to publish their local websites to a temporary WordPress.com account to share with the world. Other hosting platforms like WP Engine and Kinsta offer local development environments making this a natural fit for Automattic to offer.6. Big Sky: WordPress.com starts waiting list for AI designed websitesWordPress.com decided to throw their hat into the AI web design ring by opening a beta signup for their latest project, BigSkyI've signed up to trial the product, but I also signed up for access to Studio before it was released and didn't hear anything — fingers crossed. If anyone at Automattic is reading this: I have found 100% AI website builders underwhelming. It's basically machine learning with blocks and patterns that are tagged with keywords that just get mashed together based on the prompt. I prefer starting with a collection of professionally designed themes and patterns, but I'm happy to see if they can change my mind! That's not all! The above marks 6 of the biggest moves I think happened around the WordPress space while Mullenweg enjoyed some time off. But, that's not all! Here's a quick list of other notable events that happened over the last 3 months: WordPress 6.5 Launched.The Community-lead Make Marketing Team was shutdown in favor of a new Media Corps experiment.WordPress.com now supports Github integrationWordPress.com launched a new public pattern directoryWooCommerce launched a new update managerWas there anything on your list that didn't make it here?

The purpose of the information conveyed in this podcast is simply to explore the ancient healing practices of indigenous cultures. Please consult a professional if you are considering the use of plant-based medicines.      In many ways people have become disconnected, dislocated, and dislodged from their place in the world as a result of trauma.  Trauma due to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, or just everyday unmanaged stress as an important social determinant of health. These traumas can actually change the chemical makeup of the brain and increase the risk for developing certain physical ailments, including digestive problems, diabetes, chronic pain, and heart disease. Unfortunately, the American healthcare system is not effective in addressing the root causes of the chronic issues we face at a psycho-emotional level. Western culture is now looking for alternative ways to stem the epidemic of anxiety, depression, and stress we see in the modern world.  Is there an opportunity in health transformation to seek alternative and ancient sources of healing medicine that finds coherence between the mind and heart and the body and the spirit?      This week we are offering our listeners with a Bonus episode to discuss the healing potential of ayahuasca. Our guest is Kevin Johnson (also known by the Q'ero people of Peru as Puma Blanco). He is a shamanic healer who has become a popular public speaker, giving presentations on consciousness, shamanism, plant medicines and psychedelics. He's been featured in several magazines and periodicals, and has appeared on many popular podcasts including; “Tangentially Speaking” with Christopher Ryan, “The Duncan Trussell Family Hour”, “The Warrior Poet” with Aubrey Marcus, “Not Just Paleo” with Evan Brand, “Fat Burning Man” with Abel James, and “The Truth Junkie Podcast” with Kevin Bates…just to name a few. This won't be your typical Race to Value episode.  Not only are we exploring the congruency between ayahuasca and healing and the parallels between shamanism and Western medicine, but we will also be learning about the Q'ero people of Peru who have a special relationship with the planet and an approach to energy balancing that maybe we could all learn from.      If you have an open mind and an open heart, you will find this conversation to be quite enlightening and informative as people around the world are retracing the ancient pathways of shamanism, the oldest spiritual practice of healing on the planet. So let's now hear from Kevin Johnson, who is joining us for this special bonus episode of the Race to Value! Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Trauma as an overlooked social determinant of health that leads to chronic disease. 02:30 Introduction to Kevin (Puma Blanco) Johnson – a shamanic healer and popular public speaker on the topics of consciousness, shamanism, plant medicines, and psychedelics. 03:00 The healing potential of ayahuasca, parallels between shamanism and Western medicine, and the Q'ero people of Peru. 05:45 Referencing prior episode with Dr. Charles Nemeroff, the Co-Director for the Center for Psychedelic Research & Therapy. 06:00 Inspiration from Hippocrates: “The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.” “Foolish the doctor who despises the knowledge acquired by the ancients.” 06:30 Ayahuasca is a very ancient medicine, with archaeological evidence for the consumption of ayahuasca going back at least a thousand years. 07:30 An overview of ayahuasca as a plant medicine and how it can provide healing, alleviate suffering, and enhance spirituality.

This edition of the Means of Grace podcast is a three-part series highlighting four ministries in Western North Carolina who are using green spaces in ministry. These ministries meet people where they are and invite them to something new – an orchard, a story walk, a worship service, exercise, a meal. Part 2 features "The Kevins" – Kevin Miller and Kevin Bates – who are starting a new outdoor faith community in the Swannanoa Valley called Way in the Wilderness: A Church Without Walls.  These episodes are airing on the Tuesdays surrounding Earth Day as a way for leaders to consider how they might connect the earth and its Creator with the lives of people in their community.  One of the many blessings of living in North Carolina is access to beautiful spaces and God’s earth. These podcasts encourage you to think about your own outdoor space – it doesn’t take much – and how it can be used in ministry.  Listen to Part 1, featuring The Village Green in Cashiers and G.I.F.T Aquaponics & Shepherds Garden in Wingate. Part 3 drops next Tuesday, May 4th.

Today I’m interviewing paranormal Dream Researcher Andy Paquette. I wanted to have Andy on the show because he is one of the world’s foremost experts on precognitive dreams, that is, dreams that tell the future. Arguably he has had more precognitive dreams than anyone on the face of the planet so this is quite the special interview. I’ve occasionally had precognzitive dreams off and on for a number of years and so I wanted to pick his brain.I’m curious about this topic because if it’s true that some dreams accurate predict the future in a way that can’t be explained by random chance, it then calls into question much of what he know about space and time, our mental abilities, and even our identity. It really could be a game changer and I feel it’s worth exploring to get closer to the truth of what’s happening here.In this interview we cover:- his precognitive dreams of 911 and the ramstein air show disaster- how to recall more of your dreams- the value of not always knowing the future- studies of kids who potentially recall past lives- and much more....I’ve love to hear from you! What you like about the podcast, ideas for future guests, etc.Email: truthjunkiepodcastwithkevin@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/truthjunkiepodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIma3aXx3l6UfjvTNM2Bg2A...If you are interested in parapsychology, or precognitive dreams, Andy recommends reading the research of prominent parapsychologist, Dr. Ian Stevenson, which deals not only with precognitive dreams but with reincarnation as well.
