Being a Guest on the WordPress Podcast
Posted on December 30th, 2008, in WordPress | 2 Comments »
I was a guest on episode 49 of the WordPress Podcast with Charles Stricklin and Jonathan Bailey. It was a lot of fun to be part of the episode, and reminded me how much I miss talking with Charles and WordPress.
Some things that were discussed include:
- WordPress 2.7 was released
- Microsoft enters the Open Source blogware world with Oxite
- New Media Expo merges with Blog World Expo
- WordPress Theme Repository purged of hundreds of themes
- Six Apart shuts down Pownce
- Dates announced for WordCamp San Francisco 2009, WordCamp Chicago 2009, WordCamp Dallas 2009 and WordCamp Columbus 2009
- WordPress.com passes the 5 million blog mark
- Media Uploader Overview
- Learning to love comment moderation
- The Many Ways to Configure Your New Dashboard
- WordPress.com Goes Gravatar Crazy
- 43 Degrees, but it’s snowing
I got to give my opinions, which hopefully people will enjoy and not disagree with too harshly. A huge thanks to Charles and Jonathan for having me on and I hope you’ll all check out the episode.

Congrats on being asked to join the podcast. If you don’t mind me asking how where you selected? Perhaps you can share some tips.

Also Charles asked me on last minute to replace Joost de Valk, who was supposed to be on the show.
Though, I am sure if you ask, they can find a way to get you on as well.
