There are filters to turn off auto-updates easily. Also keep in mind it's currently for minor updates only, which basically never break a site. And in beta and RC testing, there were no hard failures, only some instances where the upda

I don't know much about the ones you've listed, but I've talked to the guys that made Memberful, and I have a couple thoughts as to what might make theirs different: 1) Recurring payments. I don't see anything about recurring payments on th

Depends on the type of audience, I think. Most podcasts will probably never get a huge audience. But the audience you do get is a motivated, probably very specific one. That's a valuable audience.

This whole story has gone on for a week now, and has been discussed a great deal. This post does a nice job summarizing the story, with links to many blog posts that came from Jake's original http://www.philerb.com/2013/01/wordpress-commun

Your own client work, etc. doesn't have the same requirements for graphics and CSS as WordPress themes because the work isn't distributed. The foundation holds the keys to the WordPress logo, and it also does things like support WordCamps t
