Not sure if you have noticed, but the calendar hit November this week. What happened? Just the other day we will enter a new year in the COVID era trying to navigate. We’ve seen the ups and downs.

October Toolbox: Various ideas for video calls

Communication. It’s kind of important. I learned one time that communication is derived from the same word as a community. So, if you want community, there has to be good communication.

Communication can be critical. That’s why in our industry, we often take video calls. Seeing someone face to face is important to building trust. Thanks to several different tools, we

Q&A with Birgit Pauli-Haack of Gutenberg Times

When Gutenberg started being a story in the WordPress community, I went searching for resources. One that I found early on was Gutenberg Times (GT). I found out that the person who ran GT was Birgit Pauli-Haack, and over time I struck up a conversation with her via Twitter DMs. She was very nice and very accommodating for any questions I had. Over time I have found her to be a rock in the WordPress space with lots of expertise, credibility, and a great human being.

Then they’re left wondering: “Hmm… Why didn’t that take off? “Distribution folks. Embrace it…” Source So, promotion is key and one way to promote is by using audiograms. Over the past few years, I’ve seen my share of audiograms online. Cool. I never really had a use for them, or so I thought. Then I started regularly creating podcasts, the Storyteller
