And these completely depend on author SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we’ll show you what author SEO is, it’s importance, and how to implement it so you meet Google’s E-E-A-T standards. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Author SEO?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Author SEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence to improve your visibility in <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-are-serps/\" title=\"What Are SERPs (And Why Are they Important to SEO)?\">search engine results pages</a> (SERPs) when people search for your name or work. It’s also essential in helping you rank your content for the topics you write about. This is particularly true for YMYL (your money, your life) niches.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Author SEO Important?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason author SEO is important is because it helps you meet Google’s E-E-A-T content guidelines. To ensure users get the best experience when searching for information online, Google introduced E-E-A-T in their <a href=\"https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterhub.com/en//searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines</a>. These are to ensure the content published online is of high quality. E-E-A-T is an acronym that stands for:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Experience</strong> refers to the first-hand experiences the author or other team members have with that particular topic.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expertise</strong> refers to the expertise of the creator of the main content.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Authoritativeness</b> refers to the authoritativeness of the main content creator, the content, and the website on which the content is published.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trustworthiness</strong> Refers to the trustworthiness of the main content creator, the content itself, and the website it’s published on.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of these standards is to help improve the quality of content published on the web. In addition, it helps ensure that content is accurate and helpful to users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not a direct ranking factor, aligning with Google’s E-E-A-T content quality guidelines does give your content an advantage over your competitors.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use the Author SEO Module in WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install All In One SEO (AIOSEO)</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to impactful author SEO is downloading and installing <a href=\"https://aioseo.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"All in One SEO - WordPress SEO Plugin and Toolkit\" rel=\"noopener\">All In One SEO</a> (AIOSEO). </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-1024x462.png\" alt=\"AIOSEO is a powerful plugin that can help boost author SEO.\" class=\"wp-image-218606\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-1024x462.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-300x135.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-768x347.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-600x271.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-133x60.png 133w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage-199x90.png 199w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/aioseo-wordpress-plugin-homepage.png 1116w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\">AIOSEO</a> is a powerful, easy-to-use SEO plugin boasting over 3 million active installs.

To do that, go to your <strong>WordPress dashboard <strong>»</strong> Users <strong>»</strong> Add New User</strong>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"495\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-1.png\" alt=\"Adding a user\" class=\"wp-image-271499\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-1.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-1-300x212.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-1-600x423.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill in all the required information and click the <strong>Add New User</strong> button.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"411\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-2.png\" alt=\"Click on the Add New User button.\" class=\"wp-image-271500\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-2.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-2-300x176.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-add-user-2-600x351.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s it! You’ve added a user profile.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Add Author Information in the Author SEO Section</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With AIOSEO installed and your user profiles set up, the next step is to go to the Author SEO section in the Users menu of your WordPress dashboard.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1-1024x589.png\" alt=\"Author SEO tab\" class=\"wp-image-271507\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1-1024x589.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1-300x173.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1-768x442.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1-600x345.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-1.png 1324w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Author SEO section, you can add an author’s information to help validate your E-E-A-T signals. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"496\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1.png\" alt=\"Author info section\n\" class=\"wp-image-268293\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1-300x212.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1-600x424.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the author info you can add include</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Alumni Of</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employer</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Job Title</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that AIOSEO outputs <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-is-structured-data-and-how-does-it-impact-seo/\" title=\"What is Structured Data and How Does it Impact SEO?\">JSON schema</a> for this information. As a result, search engines can easily understand it and consider it when ranking your content.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides your credentials and role in your organization, you can also add categories of your areas of expertise.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"238\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section.png\" alt=\"Knows about section/ areas of expertise.\n \" class=\"wp-image-268294\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section-300x102.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section-600x203.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All this information points to your experience and expertise in your field. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author bio section allows you to add your author image, an excerpt, and a full bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"552\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2.png\" alt=\"Author bio section.\" class=\"wp-image-268295\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2-300x236.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2-600x472.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Coupled with the JSON schema markup, this information proves to search engines that you’re qualified to talk about the subject. This helps you rank higher in searches around your keyword.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Add Author Blocks in Your Posts</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you’ve filled in your author information, the next step to impactful author SEO is to add AIOSEO’s author blocks to your posts. These blocks help you inject the information from the Author SEO section into a post. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO supports 2 main types of author blocks:</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Written By Author Block</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One way of leveraging your bio is by adding an <strong>Author Name</strong> or Written By author block. This gives a very brief summary of the post’s author. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"408\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip.png\" alt=\"Wriiten by Block\" class=\"wp-image-268296\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip-300x174.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip-600x349.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hovering over the author’s name reveals a tooltip with a mini bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add this block, open your post in editor mode, click where you want to place it and insert the block. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"526\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-author-name-block.png\" alt=\"Author name block\" class=\"wp-image-271508\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-author-name-block.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-author-name-block-300x225.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-author-name-block-600x450.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This block pulls from the Author Excerpt field in your Author SEO input.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Author Bio Block</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add an author bio at the bottom of your page. By default, this will be a compact bio. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"388\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example.png\" alt=\"Author bio example\" class=\"wp-image-268297\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example-300x166.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example-600x332.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives a brief summary of the author. It also:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Links to the author’s archive page (page with all the author’s articles)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showcases your areas of expertise</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links to your social media accounts</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can display the full bio by going to the <strong>Author Bio</strong> block settings and turning the <strong>Show Compact Author Bio</strong> toggle off.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"597\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle.png\" alt=\""Show Compact Author Bio" toggle\" class=\"wp-image-268298\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle-300x255.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle-600x510.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in your full bio being displayed:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"666\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268291\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1.png 684w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1-300x292.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1-600x584.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the <strong>Author Name</strong> and <strong>Author Bio</strong> blocks help you demonstrate your expertise, experience, authority, and trustworthiness. As a result, meeting Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines is easier. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust is one of the key pillars in Google’s E-E-A-T content guidelines. You can gain it from your readers by letting them know who you are and your areas of expertise.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Add Reviewer Block (Optional)</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another block you can add using AIOSEO’s <strong>Author SEO</strong> module is the <strong>Reviewer block</strong>. Adding a reviewer is an excellent way to boost credibility and further augment your E-E-A-T signals.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"399\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268299\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block-300x171.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block-600x341.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly important for YMYL articles, where you need to demonstrate that your content is accurate, up-to-date, and reliable. A reviewer also shows that your content is backed up by an expert and can be trusted.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a reviewer block, open your post in editor mode, click where you want to add it and insert the block.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"544\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-inserting-reviewer-block.png\" alt=\"Reviewer block\" class=\"wp-image-271517\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-inserting-reviewer-block.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-inserting-reviewer-block-300x232.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-seo-inserting-reviewer-block-600x465.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note</strong>: You’ll need to have the reviewer’s profile in the Users and Author SEO sections.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s it!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ve implemented Author SEO and demonstrated Google E-E-A-T signals in WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Author SEO: Your FAQs Answered</h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What is Author SEO?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Author SEO refers to the practice of optimizing your online presence and boosting your Google E-E-A-T signals.

And putting the conclusion at the beginning of a novel wouldn’t make sense.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even some of this content may benefit from being formatted for easier screen reading.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, editors of the captivating “<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/index.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Snow Fall</a>” story broke up the long text with short chapter subheadings, video interviews with witnesses, animated graphics, and photos.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These orient and engage the reader.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-1024x521.jpg\" alt=\"new york times snowfall article\" class=\"wp-image-271103\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-1024x521.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-300x153.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-768x391.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-600x305.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-118x60.jpg 118w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt-177x90.jpg 177w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/new-york-times-snowfall-excerpt.jpg 1126w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-to-make-your-content-scannable\">How to Make Your Content Scannable</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these simple guidelines to make your web pages scannable.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-above-the-fold-considerations\">Above-the-Fold Considerations</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Above-the-fold refers to the portion of a web page that’s visible without scrolling down.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most users will decide within seconds whether to stay on the page, leave, or click on a link. So, what’s at the top of a page matters.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inverted Pyramid</strong>: The Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g) recommends putting your <em>conclusion</em> and most important information at the beginning of your page.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Key Links</strong>: Consider moving the page’s most important link(s) to the top. Keep those links to a minimum to avoid presenting too many options.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/adding-breadcrumbs-to-your-site-using-the-aioseo-breadcrumbs-block/\"><strong>Breadcrumbs</strong></a>: These tiny navigation links don’t take up much room.

AIOSEO checks:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Paragraph length</strong>: The target is no more than 120 words per paragraph. Longer passages are difficult for users to read on screens.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Images/videos</strong> in content: If there are none, you’ll be encouraged to add <em>relevant</em> media.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sentence length</strong>: AIOSEO checks for excessive sentence length. The target word count is 20.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subheading distribution</strong>: The plugin checks to ensure you’re breaking up content with subheadings. It will suggest adding subheads to passages longer than 300 words.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-the-flesch-reading-ease-score-to-grow-traffic/\" title=\"\">Flesch Reading Ease</a></strong>: The plugin uses the Flesch-Kincaid readability tests to assess how easy it is to read your content.

Understanding Google’s Secret Sauce for Creating Effective Content\">Google’s E-E-A-T</a> stands for Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It is a set of criteria that Google uses to assess the quality of content on the web, particularly for pages that deal with topics related to health, finance, and other areas where accuracy and reliability are crucial. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is prominently mentioned in Google’s Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines, which are guidelines given to human evaluators who assess the quality of search results. Google designed these to ensure the content published online is of high quality. E-E-A-T is an acronym that stands for:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Experience</strong>: refers to the first-hand experiences the author or other members of the team have with that particular topic.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expertise</strong>: refers to the expertise of the creator of the main content.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Authoritativeness</strong>: refers to the authoritativeness of the main content creator, the content, and the website the content is published on.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trustworthiness</strong>: Refers to the trustworthiness of the main content creator, the content itself, and the website it’s published on.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of these standards is to help improve the quality of content published on the web. In addition, it helps ensure that content is accurate and helpful to users. This has become even more critical since the rollout of the Helpful Content Update (HCU). </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-implementing-google-e-e-a-t-has-become-easier-with-aioseo-4-5-4\">Implementing Google E-E-A-T Has Become Easier with AIOSEO 4.5.4</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With AIOSEO 4.5.4, it’s now easier to showcase E-E-A-T signals on your posts and pages, thanks to the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/features/author-seo-google-e-e-a-t/\" title=\"Author SEO – Google E-E-A-T Addon\">Author SEO addon</a>. You can now specify your areas of expertise, your experience, and more. You can do that in the <strong>Users</strong> section of your WordPress Dashboard. If you update to AIOSEO 4.5.4, you’ll find a new section called <strong>Author SEO</strong>, where you can input information to boost your E-E-A-T SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"403\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/edit-user.png\" alt=\"Author SEO tab.\" class=\"wp-image-268292\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/edit-user.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/edit-user-300x173.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/edit-user-600x345.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Author SEO section is where you can add an author’s information to help validate your E-E-A-T signals. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"496\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1.png\" alt=\"Toggle to enable Author Info fields.\" class=\"wp-image-268293\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1-300x212.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-1-600x424.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the author info you can add include</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Alumni Of</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employer</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Job Title</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And because AIOSEO outputs JSON schema for said information, search engines can easily understand it and take it into consideration.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides your credentials and role in your organization, you can also add categories of your areas of expertise.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"238\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section.png\" alt=\""Knows About" section in the Author Info section.\" class=\"wp-image-268294\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section-300x102.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/knows-about-section-600x203.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All this information points to your experience and expertise in your field.

One way you can gain readers’ trust is by letting them know who you are. This is why we added some blocks to help you inject author information into your posts. To get started, fill in your author bio information in the Author SEO section:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"552\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2.png\" alt=\"Author Bio fields\" class=\"wp-image-268295\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2-300x236.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-info-2-600x472.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The author bio section allows you to add your author image, an author excerpt, and a full author bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way of leveraging your bio is by adding an Author Name (Written By) author block. This gives a very brief summary of the post’s author. Hovering over the author’s name reveals a tooltip with a mini bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"408\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip.png\" alt=\"Author bio tooltip\" class=\"wp-image-268296\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip-300x174.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-tooltip-600x349.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add an author bio at the bottom of your page. By default, this will be a compact bio.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"388\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example.png\" alt=\"Compact bio\" class=\"wp-image-268297\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example-300x166.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/eeat-bio-example-600x332.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives a brief summary of the author. It also:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Links to the author’s archive page (page with all the author’s articles)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showcases your areas of expertise</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links to your social media accounts</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to display the full bio by going to the Author Bio block settings and turning the <strong>Show Compact Author Bio</strong> toggle off.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"597\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle.png\" alt=\"Show Compact Author Bio toggle.\" class=\"wp-image-268298\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle-300x255.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/compact-bio-toggle-600x510.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in your full bio being displayed:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"666\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1.png\" alt=\"Full bio example\" class=\"wp-image-268291\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1.png 684w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1-300x292.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/author-bio-2-1-600x584.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this helps you demonstrate your expertise, experience, authority, and trustworthiness. As a result, meeting Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines is easier.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-boost-authority-and-credibility-by-adding-a-reviewer\">Boost Authority and Credibility by Adding a Reviewer</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great way to boost your credibility is by adding a reviewer for your content. This helps show that your content has been fact-checked and is accurate. That’s why we added support for showcasing a reviewer on your posts.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"399\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block.png\" alt=\"Reviewer block\" class=\"wp-image-268299\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block-300x171.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/reviewer-block-600x341.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly important for YMYL articles, where you need to demonstrate that your content is accurate, up-to-date, and reliable. A reviewer also shows that your content is backed up by an expert and can be trusted.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a reviewer goes a long way in helping you build trust and authority, boosting your Google E-E-A-T score. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-implementing-author-seo-with-shortcodes\">Implementing Author SEO with Shortcodes</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the blocks, AIOSEO’s Author SEO addon also supports shortcodes and PHP functions. Some of the shortcodes the addon supports include:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>[aioseo_eeat_author_tooltip show-label=\"true\" show-image=\"true\" show-tooltip=\"true\"]\n\n[aioseo_eeat_reviewer_tooltip show-label=\"true\" show-image=\"true\" show-tooltip=\"true\"]\n\n[aioseo_eeat_author_bio compact=\"false\"]</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported PHP functions include:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>aioseo_eeat_author_tooltip( $showLabel = true, $showImage = true, $showTooltip = $true );\n\naioseo_eeat_reviewer_tooltip( $showLabel = true, $showImage = true, $showTooltip = true );\n\naioseo_eeat_author_bio( $compact = true )</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>These shortcodes and PHP functions make it easier to embed Author SEO elements anywhere on a post or page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the E-E-A-T addon, we’ve also made improvements to other features you already know and love.

Know Your Target Audience</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many marketers and SEOs make the mistake of optimizing content for search engines only. That’s not what SEO content is about. Genuine SEO content also considers the target audience. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s why you must include audience research when developing your SEO content strategy. This includes thinking about:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Who is your intended audience?</li>\n\n\n\n<li>What problems are they likely to have?</li>\n\n\n\n<li>What solutions are they looking for?</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do they have a particular way of speaking (lingo)?</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering these questions will give you the foundation you need to conduct impactful keyword research. It also helps you create personalized content, making your audience trust you more. It also helps boost your conversion rates and increases the chances of it being shared.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By tailoring your content to address the needs and interests of your audience, you ensure that it ranks well and satisfies your audience.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-pinpoint-intent-focused-keywords\">3. Pinpoint Intent-focused Keywords</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyword research is a foundational aspect of creating SEO content. It involves understanding the words, phrases, and questions your target audience input in browsers like Google when searching for information. Keyword research also involves strategic tasks like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/keyword-difficulty-in-seo-what-is-it-and-how-to-use-it/\" title=\"Keyword Difficulty in SEO: What Is It and How to Use It\">checking keyword difficulty</a> and whether targeting those keywords is feasible. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>While keyword research may sound like a daunting task, it’s fairly easy with the right <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/best-seo-keyword-analysis-tool/\" title=\"9 Best SEO Keyword Analysis Tools You Need to Know in 2024\">keyword research tool</a>. Great examples include <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/semrush/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Semrush\">Semrush</a>, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/ahrefs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Ahrefs\">Ahrefs</a>, Google Keyword Planner, and more. Also, focusing on long-tail keywords is a great way to capture more specific search queries. Plus, long-tail keywords have <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/low-competition-keywords/\" title=\"How to Find Low Competition Keywords that Drive Conversions\">low competition</a>, giving you better chances of ranking. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides keyword research, you also need to understand search intent. Search intent refers to the reason behind a user’s search query. While it may sound complicated, figuring out search intent is quite easy. Two of the best ways to do it are: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Using tools</strong>: keyword research tools like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/semrush/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Semrush\">Semrush</a> have a search intent feature that helps highlight the most common user intent behind a keyword.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Studying SERPs</strong>: Study the SERPs and see the type of content that ranks well.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding search intent is important as it helps you create SEO content that satisfies your target audience’s search queries. As a result, it will convert better.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to craft a winning SEO content strategy, you must pinpoint intent-focused keywords that will help you drive relevant traffic to your site. </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>Explore.com, a travel and tourism site, used the SEO strategy of targeting long-tail keywords. The long-tail keywords they targeted had a very specific purpose for fulfilling the user search intent. And it’s not a surprise they quadrupled their traffic in 10 Months. <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/trends/explore-seo-case-study/\" title=\"How a Travel & Tourism Site Quadrupled Traffic in 10 Months\">Read how Explore.com grew in 10 months</a>.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-4-establish-your-priority-content-types\">4. Establish Your Priority Content Types</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important element of an impactful SEO content strategy is establishing your most important content types. These are the content formats your target audience prefers. They should also be content formats that support your business model. Some of the most common content types include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Blog posts</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Videos</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infographics</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Podcasts</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case studies</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ebooks</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product reviews</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These content types serve different purposes and cater to diverse preferences among audiences. A well-rounded content strategy often incorporates a mix of these formats to reach and engage a broader audience.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-5-include-topic-clusters-for-authority-building\">5. Include Topic Clusters for Authority Building</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/topic-clusters/\" title=\"Topic Clusters: The Secret Weapon of SEO Pros\">topic clusters</a> involves creating a pillar or cornerstone piece of content around a core topic and then building a cluster of related content around it. This helps build topical authority and enhance your semantic SEO, both great ways of getting your site and content to rank in a competitive niche.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy also enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO content strategy by improving content relevance, user experience, and search engine visibility. An added benefit of creating topic clusters is that they provide a strategic framework for creating and organizing content to meet the evolving demands of both users and search engines.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a topic cluster requires 2 main components:</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-cornerstone-content-pillar-page\">Cornerstone Content (Pillar Page)</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-is-cornerstone-content/\" title=\"What is Cornerstone Content?

This helps foster engagement, increase brand awareness, provide backlink opportunities, and, ultimately, achieve your marketing objectives.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your content distribution to be effective, focus on the channels and platforms your target audience spends the most time on.

How can you know the intent behind a search query? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how can you “satisfy search intent?” Why can’t site owners simply focus on creating quality content?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to these questions is hidden in plain sight. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you’ll learn, clues to search intent are all around us. And creating content to satisfy that intent is surprisingly simple.<br><br>Even so, most site owners disregard search intent. Their oversight creates an opportunity for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let’s take a closer look at search intent.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Search Intent?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Search intent (also known as user intent or keyword intent) is the goal or purpose of a query searched by the user. It’s basically identifying the user’s intention when they type in a specific keyword.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two key aspects of search intent.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Search queries (also called keywords)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>And search engine results pages (SERPs)</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both yield essential clues.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s start with search queries. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Queries</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For each search query entered into Google, we can understand something of the user’s intent.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider these search queries: what do you think the searcher wants? </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>korean taco delivery near me</li>\n\n\n\n<li>24 hr plumber boston </li>\n\n\n\n<li>what is boxing day?</li>\n\n\n\n<li>prevent pipes from freezing</li>\n\n\n\n<li>birdseed with peanuts and cherries</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all search queries are so specific. Many are vague. For instance, what can we conclude about user intent for the term “insurance” or “English literature?”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much!<br></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, the more <em>specific</em> the search term, the <em>clearer</em> the intent. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search intent is like a customer saying what they want out loud. Some customers aren’t sure what they want. Others know exactly. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine 3 customers walk into a hardware store. Each is greeted by an employee asking, “What can I help you with?” </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Customer #1 says, “Tools.”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer #2 says, “My faucet’s leaking.” </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer #3 says, “I’d like a 40-piece socket set. Have any on sale?”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer #1’s intent is vague. Customer #2 has a problem but doesn’t know how to solve it. And Customer #3’s intent is clear.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hardware store employee will need to ask Customers #1 and #2 some questions to understand better what they need.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engine algorithms act like store employees or librarians. If a search term is vague (like “tools”), the search engine will present options like</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Used</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under $80</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nearby</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get it fast</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrician</li>\n\n\n\n<li>On sale</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These options help the searcher narrow down what they want.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content creators serve the same function. They may take a vague search query (like “My faucet’s leaking”) and create an article to help the searcher fix the problem.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-1024x548.jpg\" alt=\"Search intent example of my faucet’s leaking keyword.\" class=\"wp-image-269017\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-300x161.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-768x411.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-1536x823.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example-600x321.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-leaking-faucet-example.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And when search intent is specific, as with “40-piece socket set on sale,” Google knows exactly what type of options to show the searcher.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269018\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-300x154.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-768x394.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-1536x788.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example-600x308.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-socket-example.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The results in the image above are from businesses. Even though they look like ads, they’re not. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice how each item caters to the searcher’s desire for a discount?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand how search queries signal intent, let’s discover what can be learned from <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-are-serps/\" title=\"What Are SERPs (And Why Are they Important to SEO)?\">search engine results pages</a> (SERPs). </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs)</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: Google’s goal is to satisfy searcher’s intent by providing helpful, relevant content in response to search queries. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where search engine rankings come in. The more helpful, interesting, or insightful a web page is to the user, <em>the higher it will rank</em>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pages that rank high provide essential clues about the type of content that will satisfy searchers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: a web page ranks in <em>relation </em>to a keyword. This is why people create content based on a keyword: they want to gather information about search intent first because they know that will help their article rank. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s get hands-on to see exactly how this works. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, we’ll search Chrome Incognito for “<strong>best WordPress form plugins</strong>.” Imagine we’re considering creating an article that targets that keyword.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should we do a review of our favorite form <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-is-a-plugin-beginners-guide-to-wordpress-plugins/\" title=\"What is a Plugin? The Beginner’s Guide to WordPress Plugins\">plugin</a>? Should we publish a page of mini-interviews with business owners and ask them what form plugins they use? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The search results will help us plan what <em>type</em> of content to create.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at page 1 of search results, what can we discern about search intent? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost every high-ranking web page is a <strong><em>list</em></strong> of recommended <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/best-wordpress-form-plugins/\" title=\"6 Best WordPress Form Plugins\">WordPress form plugins</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"Example of search results for WordPress form plugins. \" class=\"wp-image-269019\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-300x186.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-768x477.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-1536x954.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example-600x373.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-wordpress-form-plugins-example.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Google rewards articles that best match search intent, we can conclude that what users <em>want</em> when they search for “best WordPress form plugins” is to compare form plugins so they can pick a good one to buy. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can say: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Those who search for “best WordPress form plugins” have <em>buying intent</em>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>They want to compare the features and prices of the top-form plugins.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To the degree that your article <em>helps</em> searchers do that, it will rank well. </p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People Also Ask Questions</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ll find more clues by reading the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-optimize-for-googles-people-also-ask/\" title=\"How to Optimize for Google’s People Also Ask (PAA) Section\">People Also Ask</a> questions in search results. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>PAA questions don’t appear for every search query, but they do for many. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the most common questions that searchers have on the topic. So, answering some of these PAA questions in your article can help you meet search intent for that topic.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"567\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-example-of-paa.png\" alt=\"Example of people also ask.\" class=\"wp-image-269098\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-example-of-paa.png 953w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-example-of-paa-300x178.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-example-of-paa-768x457.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/search-intent-example-of-paa-600x357.png 600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Terms</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, scroll past the People Also Ask section to the bottom of “page 1” of search results.

What if you could find keywords with buying intent that are easy to rank for?<br><br>You could target those keywords with content and attract an audience ready to buy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where keyword research tools come in. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Keyword Research Tools to Identify Search Intent</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter a keyword into Semrush, and you’ll discover the intent behind it. <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/semrush/\" title=\"SEMRush\">Semrush</a> is one of the best Keyword research tools that will help you identify search intent. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Semrush labels each keyword you enter with 1 of 4 possible search intents. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Types of Search Intent</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4 search intents are Informational, Navigational, Commercial, and Transactional. Let’s learn individually what they mean. </p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Informational Intent</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords labeled “Informational” signal the user wants to learn about or research a topic. They’re not looking for a specific website and don’t have buying intent.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When targeting such queries, content creators should focus on informing and teaching rather than selling. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of informational search queries include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>“what is the best exercise for a torn meniscus”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“how long does it take to recover from flu”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“what causes the seasons on earth”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“who was genghis khan”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“how to learn AI”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“prevent frozen pipes”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Navigational Intent</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigational keywords indicate the user is trying to reach a specific website or webpage. Since these queries typically include brand names, ensure your site ranks well for your brand name and top product/service names. Ranking well for navigational queries targeting your business can drive traffic and conversions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigational searches convert at a very high rate since they indicate the person has already decided where they want to go. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of navigational queries include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>“walmart login page”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“starlink internet”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“lego robotics kits”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“home depot truck rental”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“aioseo analyzer”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Commercial Intent</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial keywords signal the user has some buying intent but needs more information before making a final decision. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>When targeting commercial keywords, help searchers compare product features and prices. Help them understand what problems your solution solves and why it’s best.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of commercial keywords include: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>“men’s leather bomber jacket”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“best seo plugins”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“docusign vs pandadoc”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Transactional Intent</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Transactional keywords signal the searcher is on the brink of buying or taking other action. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>These keywords may include detailed product attributes or actions like buy, book, register, download, or subscribe.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of transactional keywords include: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>“usa made m65 field jacket”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“flooring stores near me”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“learn to knit kits”</li>\n\n\n\n<li>“where to buy used cars”</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you target transactional keywords, be sure your related page(s) have a clear call-to-action (CTA).

The numerical score is displayed as a percentage but measured on a logarithmic scale. So, a keyword that scores 50 may be challenging to rank for. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-1024x504.png\" alt=\"Example of keyword difficulty score.\" class=\"wp-image-269102\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-1024x504.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-300x148.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-768x378.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-1536x756.png 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example-600x296.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/semrush-keyword-research-example.png 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>That may not seem intuitive, so pay attention instead to the keyword difficulty labels.

The Beginner’s Guide to WordPress Plugins\">WordPress plugins</a> are add-ons you can install on your site for various purposes. Some of the most common reasons for adding plugins to your site include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Adding extra features and extending the functionality of your site</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimize SEO</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boost speed and performance</li>\n\n\n\n<li>And much more.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s why having the right plugins can make or break your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-what-to-look-for-in-the-best-plugins-for-wordpress\">What to Look for in the Best Plugins for WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several crucial factors to consider when determining which WordPress plugins to install on your site. We’ll quickly look at the top ones, in no particular order of importance:</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Compatibility</strong>: Ensure that the plugin is compatible with your version of WordPress and other plugins you have installed. Incompatible plugins can cause conflicts and functionality issues.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>2<strong>. Regular Updates and Security:</strong> Check if the plugin is actively maintained and regularly updated by the developer(s). Regular updates ensure the plugin’s compatibility with the latest WordPress version and security patches. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Reliable Support: </strong>Ensure that the plugin has reliable support. This is important in case you encounter any issues or need assistance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Reviews and Ratings</strong>: Always check what other users say about the plugin you want to install. Doing so will give you insight into its reliability, performance, and user satisfaction. Always choose plugins with positive feedback and a good reputation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Features and Functionality:</strong> Consider the requirements you have for your website and choose a plugin that aligns with them. It’s important to balance having enough features and keeping your site lightweight.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Performance:</strong> Evaluate the plugin’s impact on your site’s performance. Look for plugins optimized for performance and have minimal impact on your site’s speed. On the other hand, poorly coded or resource-intensive plugins can slow down your site, leading to a poor user experience. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Documentation and User-Friendliness</strong>: Look for plugins with clear and comprehensive documentation or guides to understand how to set up and use the plugin.

[Beginners Guide]\">indexing and crawling</a> of the content. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots meta tags are placed in the <head> section of a page. Here’s an example of what they look like:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex\";</p></code></pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-what-are-robots-meta-tags-used-for\">What Are Robots Meta Tags Used For?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots meta tags serve as a communication tool between you and search engines, allowing you to control how the search bots crawl, index, and display a page’s content. Examples of this include whether to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Index a page</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the links on a page </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Index the images on a page</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show a snippet of the page on <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-are-serps/\" title=\"What Are SERPs (And Why Are they Important to SEO)?\">search engine results pages</a> (SERPs)</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, robots meta tags are used to influence the behavior of search bots when they visit your page.

These 2 are completely different, even though their core function may be the same.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what’s the difference?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer that question, let’s briefly define what a robots.txt file is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/what-is-robots-txt-in-wordpress/\" title=\"What is Robots.txt in WordPress? [Beginner’s Guide]\">Robots.txt</a> is a text file that website owners can create to tell search engine bots how to interact with their sites, mainly which pages to crawl and which to ignore. It’s a plain text file stored in the root directory (also known as the main folder) of your website. In our case, our robots.txt’s URL is:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https://aioseo.com/robots.txt</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-the-difference-between-robots-meta-tags-and-robots-txt-files-is\">The Difference Between Robots Meta Tags and Robots.txt Files Is…</h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Robots meta tags</strong>: HTML tags embedded in the head of a webpage. The tag only applies to the page it’s on.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robots.txt file</strong>: This is a text file that contains directives that are applied sitewide.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, while a robots.txt file affects your entire site, a robots meta tag only affects the page containing that tag.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-the-importance-of-robots-meta-tags-in-seo\">The Importance of Robots Meta Tags in SEO?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of Robots Meta Tags in SEO can’t be overstated. They are crucial in determining how search engines crawl and index your site. They also impact how your site’s content is displayed in search results. Let’s break it down further to see just how much of an impact they have.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-crawl-budget-optimization\">Crawl Budget Optimization</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engines allocate a certain crawl budget to each website. By using directives like follow and nofollow, you can guide search engine bots on which links to crawl and which to ignore. This helps optimize the crawl budget and ensures that important pages are prioritized.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-indexing-instructions\">Indexing Instructions</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By using directives like index and noindex, robots meta tags provide explicit instructions to search engines about whether a particular page should be <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/indexing-in-seo/\" title=\"What Is Indexing in SEO? A Beginner’s Guide [Plus Tips]\">included in their index</a>. This influences whether the page will appear in search results or not.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This level of control is essential for managing the visibility of specific content, such as private or duplicate pages.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-duplicate-content-management\">Duplicate Content Management</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots meta tags are instrumental in addressing issues related to duplicate content.

Here’s how it would look:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>name=\"crawler\"</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the instruction to apply to all crawlers, then use “robots” as the “name” attribute. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>name=\"robots\"</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-the-content-attribute\">The Content Attribute</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The content attribute gives search bots instructions on how they should crawl and index information on the page.

Use SEO to Grow Your Email List</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use an SEO Plugin</strong>: Before publishing content, get in the habit of optimizing your page for SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will not only help your pages rank higher, but it’s also crucial for attracting qualified prospects and growing your email list.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to optimize WordPress pages for SEO is to use an SEO plugin. We recommend <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\">All in One SEO (AIOSEO)</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>This beginner-friendly plugin will automatically analyze your pages and show you exactly what to do to improve them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This takes a lot of the guesswork out of search engine optimization. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in One SEO is an established plugin with thousands of 5-star reviews on WordPress.org. Currently, over 3 million site owners are using the plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-1024x485.png\" alt=\"aioseo homepage\" class=\"wp-image-140989\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-1024x485.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-300x142.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-768x364.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-600x284.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-127x60.png 127w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage-190x90.png 190w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/aioseo-homepage.png 1260w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-place-email-sign-up-forms-near-the-top\">2. Place Email Sign-up Forms Near the Top</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many website visitors don’t scroll down a page. So, if your call-to-action (CTA) is buried beneath paragraphs, you’re losing out on conversions. And that’ll be reflected in your bounce rate.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capturing email sign-ups is vital to engaging those considering what your business offers. Not everybody is ready to buy today.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing your sales CTA <em>and </em>newsletter sign-up links near the top of the page is essential.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: </strong>Check your website layout on a mobile phone. Can mobile users easily access your sign-up form?</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>Need an email sign-up form for WordPress? Check out WPForms’ <a href=\"https://wpforms.com/templates/newsletter-signup-form-template/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ready-to-go templates</a>.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-earn-secondary-revenue-from-content\">3. Earn Secondary Revenue from Content</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While high-quality SEO-optimized content will earn sales from organic traffic, email marketing opens up a secondary revenue stream.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all articles you create will rank high in search engine results pages (SERPs). Rankings depend heavily on the competition. And if you’re <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/keyword-difficulty-in-seo-what-is-it-and-how-to-use-it/\">choosing keywords</a> that are difficult to rank for, that can hinder your SEO efforts.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don’t fret. Promoting underperforming articles via email can turn a dud into a revenue-generating dynamo.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, your email list comprises a qualified audience that’s already said “Yes” once. They’re the perfect audience for your targeted content.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: Make sure you choose an email marketing platform like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/drip\">Drip</a> or <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/convertkit\">ConvertKit</a> that provides revenue metrics for your campaigns.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-1024x562.png\" alt=\"drip revenue attribution example\" class=\"wp-image-223104\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-1024x562.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-300x165.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-768x422.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-600x329.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-109x60.png 109w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart-164x90.png 164w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/drip-email-revenue-chart.png 1315w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Screengrab showing an example of Drip’s revenue attribution.</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-acquire-backlinks-via-email\">4. Acquire Backlinks via Email</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with revenue, promoting content via email campaigns often increases backlinks to an article. That’s not surprising. People are eager to share helpful content on their sites and social media.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask for links</strong>: You can also design and automate campaigns to target bloggers, editors, and publishers to acquire quality backlinks.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backlinks are a significant ranking factor and can trigger a virtuous cycle. As more people link to an article, it rises in search engine results. Then, more people discover it and link to it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-designed and executed link-building campaigns often produce hockey stick-like growth in <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/referring-domains-vs-backlinks-seo/\">referring domains and backlinks</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exponential uptick can drive valuations for a website, resulting in a profitable sale of an online business.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"392\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-1024x392.png\" alt=\"referring domains chart ahrefs\" class=\"wp-image-244558\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-1024x392.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-300x115.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-768x294.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-1536x588.png 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-2048x784.png 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-600x230.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-157x60.png 157w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/bringatrailer-referring-domains-235x90.png 235w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>This is the referring domains growth chart for BringATrailer.com, a personal blog that became a $1 billion marketplace before it was purchased by Hearst Autos.</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>Need a website or landing page?

We’d be delighted to be of assistance.</p>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-does-seo-apply-to-email-marketing\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Does SEO apply to email marketing?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>SEO doesn’t apply directly to email marketing unless you plan to publish emails as standalone pages. (Some legacy email providers, like Constant Contact, offer the option to publish your email on a subdomain of theirs.)</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tactic isn’t as popular as it used to be. And we think you’re better off focusing email content on converting the reader, not optimizing it for ranking in search engine results pages.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-do-i-track-revenue-earned-from-email\">How do I track revenue earned from email?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most email marketing platforms, like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/drip\">Drip</a> and <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/convertkit\">ConvertKit</a>, provide revenue metrics. For example, Drip provides revenue earned per email campaign and average order value.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can filter by time period to see revenue trends and review top campaigns.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drip also compares revenue attributed to email and total online revenue.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenue attribution models will vary between platforms and are typically based on tracking campaign URLs and related purchases made during a strict time frame.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no attribution model is perfect, they can provide useful insights.</p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-what-is-content-marketing\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What is content marketing?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Content marketing uses digital content to generate awareness, attract interest, and grow sales.

Done right, local SEO makes it easy for people to find information about your business quickly and easily.

That’s why I announced a new initiative called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Liberation</a> for 2024. Migrating your site to WordPress, or exporting all your content from WordPress, should be possible in one click. I want WordPress’ export format to become the lingua franca of CMSes, whether coming to WordPress or moving within WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often hear about folks across the WordPress community duplicating efforts when creating scripts and workflows to move users to WordPress. Imagine if we shared those resources instead and built community-owned plugins that anyone could use! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it should be more than plugins; workflows, tutorials, and helper scripts should be shared, too. I want this resource to have space to include moving from social networks, moving from a page builder to core blocks, switching from classic to blocks, and improving WordPress current canonical plugins for importing. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can help!</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the heart of any open source project is the community that shows up to build it. My hope is that this marks the start of a new contribution pathway, separate from core teams, that allows folks to contribute what they’ve learned and what they’ve created to help others move to WordPress. I expect this emphasis on migration will also influence future development, both in core and with recommended community or canonical plugins.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things that I think will be key to making this project a success:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A dedicated landing page on WordPress.org following a WordPress.org/and/[platform-name] format.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>A forum used for non-review user feedback and general discussion.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated Slack channel.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moderation within hours rather than days.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listed on <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress\">WordPress GitHub</a> with syncing for individual commits to SVN for history in both places.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By complementing the community’s existing efforts—the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future program</a>, the <a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/\">Learn WordPress initiative</a>, a focus on internationalization, etc.—my hope is that this will help even more people see themselves in the WordPress project, providing fresh momentum for <a href=\"https://events.wordpress.org/\">WordCamps and meetups</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s never been more crucial to champion openness on the web. Bringing focused attention to improved portability will untether users and increase their freedom like never before.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"16736\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"WP Briefing: Episode 70: A Look Ahead at WordPress in 2024\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2024/01/episode-70-a-look-ahead-at-wordpress-in-2024/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 08 Jan 2024 13:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"Podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"wp-briefing\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:53:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?post_type=podcast&p=16677\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:264:\"Curious about WordPress\'s big-picture items for 2024?

I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:28] (Intro music) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:40] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Hello, my dears, and welcome to 2024. I hope you’ve had a lovely break. At the top of the year, I like to look around and gather the projects that the community is interested in. We can’t always commit to everything, and sometimes even the things we plan to do can’t make it across the finish line. In the next few weeks, I’ll be publishing kind of the big picture goals for the year, but I wanted to share a little bit about what I’ve collected so far.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:05] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Firstly, we’ve got Phase 3. This has been called a few things over the years: collaborative editing, multiplayer, co-editing. But whatever it’s been called, the biggest changes to writing and design workflows are likely to happen in this phase. A redesigned workflow can be a bit of a shock. But fortunately, we already have a prototype out there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ll include a link to some resources in the show notes, or of course, you can always stop by make.WordPress.org/core for some insights. But I would encourage you to, at the very least, get your hands on that prototype to see what it looks like is coming in Phase 3 so that you can be aware and provide your feedback.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing on our list is Data Liberation. This is a new-to-us project that was introduced at State of the Word. Fortunately, though, it’s not a new concept overall. Data Liberation is actually one of the earliest ideas that sold me on WordPress. The idea that you could set up a site for a client, or yourself, and that hard work wasn’t lost if something went wrong, was really important to me. It’s been a long time since we put any effort into our importers and exporters, and I think this will be a good focus for the year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:02:14] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The next thing that I’ve picked up, kind of a list of three things, but there are three mid-sized areas that I want us to pay attention to this year: plugins, old tickets, and new meetups. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugins, because they really have turned a corner on where they ended 2023. A lot of work has been done to make sure that they’ve streamlined some efforts, gotten some better onboarding for folks as they’re going in, and we could really use a hand to keep that momentum going.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old tickets, because it’s something that we hope for year after year when we’re talking to people about what they want in new releases. So often, part of what they say is some way to work through all of these old things that have been around forever, some with patches. And why not, after all?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then new meetups, because I really still think that meetups are the best intro to WordPress. No matter whether you’re wanting to become a developer eventually or, like, the community-building aspect is the thing that hooks you forever. Meetups are the place to encourage those and discover those. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:20] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The next thing on my list is also two things. It’s two things, but kind of a guess at the moment. There are two summit items that I want us to try to consider this year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the first one is contributor recognition. Acknowledgment and recognition, I think, are two different things, and there was an entire series of sessions at the summit where we talked about it. And so I think that it’s worth us digging in on that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing from the summit that I would really like us to all kind of dig in on is accessibility, how we do it, how we confirm it, what we think we should do versus what we actually do, and see what we can move on the needle there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the last thing is sort of a personal wish. I think it’s about time that we take a look at the way that we kind of manage ourselves as a project, the way that we do our meetings and report on our successes, things like that. And I realize that this is a big thing, and it might be a little bit scary. But, I mean, we’ve been doing this for a really long time, and it’s probably as good a time as any, frankly, to look at what we’re doing by habit or tradition and see if it still suits us.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that’s my back of the napkin set of notes so far. Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks for the annual Big Picture post so you can get some context, notes, and discussion opportunities. And, of course, anything that has shown up that’s a bit bigger, a bit more final will be in there as well. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, our small list of big things. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:52] (Music interlude) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:00] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Firstly, State of the Word had nearly 200 questions submitted, and Matt has been answering the overflow on make.WordPress.org/project. So, I’ll include a link, but head on over there to that post if you would like to catch up on those.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then the second item, and last item, is that you’ve got a few more days left to give us feedback on WordPress meetups in 2023, and give us an idea of what we can do to improve those.

It lets you handle everything from big stylistic changes to simple copy updates all in a single place. To help you make the most of this new way to WordPress, here are a few standout tools and features you’ll want to try. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Command Palette</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the Command Palette as the ultimate shortcut tool, letting you do more with less clicks and without needing to remember where each option might be. It’s available across the editing experience, whether you’re switching between templates in the Site Editor or toggling open settings in the Post Editor, with specific contextual options depending on where you are.<strong> </strong>You can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows to activate it and get started. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think of a command that doesn’t exist yet that would help with your workflow, open a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/new/choose\">feature request issue</a> so we can consider adding it.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/Command-Palette-news-post.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\"><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/12/core-editor-improvement-commanding-the-command-palette/\"><em>Read more</em></a><em> about everything you can do with the Command Palette, including a </em><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-command-palette/#list-of-available-commands\"><em>list of available commands</em></a><em>. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Style Book</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Style Book helps you see all the blocks on your site as you style them. It’s built into the Styles section and can be toggled on/off as you’d like. This is especially useful when you’re aiming for design consistency for a client, trying to see how a change might impact a block that might not be visible, or wanting to get a different look at how a style variation will switch things up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work is also underway for the next WordPress release to <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56800\">integrate the Style Book into Style revisions</a> to allow for an at-a-glance view of changes made. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/Style-book-news-post-demo.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/how-to-use-the-wordpress-stylebook-with-your-block-theme/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about how best to use the Style Book.</em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Styling shortcuts</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you get a design just right—the color contrast, the perfect padding, the exact font size. Instead of needing to manually recreate the design or copy/paste the block to fill in with new content, you have two powerful options built into the editing experience: copy/paste styles and apply styles globally for all instances of the desired block. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copying and pasting styles is perfect for more nuanced and smaller changes, like headings on a landing page that you intentionally want to be distinct. Applying changes globally is best for blocks like buttons and for changes that are likely to work well across layouts, like setting a specific border radius and color. This helps keep the creativity flowing and makes achieving design consistency across your site much easier.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/Styling-options-news-post-demo.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/02/01/core-editor-improvement-strengthening-style-options/\"><em>Read more</em></a><em> about the various styling options available. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distraction free mode</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like an artist might need to take a few steps back to view their in-progress artwork, sometimes we need to get a different view of our site before diving back in. Distraction free offers you that alternate perspective with a pared-down experience that lets you focus purely on creating, like:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hiding the top toolbar until one intentionally hovers over where it typically sits.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing many of the top toolbar buttons.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically closing any open sidebars, like block settings and list view. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiding the insertion point indicator, reducing visual clutter. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiding the block toolbar for individual blocks.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s worth noting that this mode can be used when writing posts and pages too! For an added bonus and more views of your site, you can use the preview options to see how your site might look across different devices.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/Distraction-free-and-preview-news-post-demo.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/distraction-free-mode/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about making the most out of Distraction free mode. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patterns</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterns are a collection of blocks that make it simple to add complex layouts and designs to any WordPress site without starting from scratch. They save time by reducing duplication and ensuring consistency. You can create your own, use theme-provided patterns, or <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/patterns/\">lean on the Pattern Directory</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also specify whether to sync your patterns so that one change applies to all parts of your site, or to keep them unsynced so you can customize each instance. For any patterns you create, you can assign categories to make them easy to find and organize. Use the Inserter with easy filtering options to add patterns to your content, and head to the dedicated Patterns section in the Site Editor to create or edit patterns to your liking. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/Patterns-news-post-demo.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/creating-your-own-custom-synced-or-non-synced-patterns/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about creating patterns. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List View</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>List View is the go-to tool for navigating between layers of your content, selecting exactly what you need, and getting a sense of how everything fits together. Similar to the Style Book and Distraction free mode, you can toggle it on/off as you’d like. It’s currently visible in the Top Toolbar and will remain open as you navigate through your site. Beyond providing a simple view of the layers of your site, there are more recent additions to List View that makes the tool even more powerful:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>See previews of your images for Image and Gallery blocks reflected in List View to make it easier to find what you need.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Escape key deselects blocks to make it easier to purely preview your content without any blocks selected. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lean on a keyboard shortcut for duplicating blocks quickly: CMD+Shift+D for Mac or Control + Shift + D for Windows. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag and drop blocks at any level directly within List View.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rename Group blocks and have the custom name reflected in List View for improved organization.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s how a few of these improvements come together:</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/List-View-news-post-demo.mp4\"></video></figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/list-view/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about using List View. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" />\n\n\n\n<p>As you explore these tools, remember that, except for the Style Book, you can use these features when writing posts and pages too.

The podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:28] (Intro music) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:40] <strong>Josepha:</strong> We wrapped up State of the Word earlier this month, and while I was sitting there being the only person to clap for the love of cake, I realized just how much we have been able to accomplish this year. And on the one hand, I shouldn’t be surprised.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, progress is radical over time yet incremental in time. But all told, 2023 has been a big year for WordPress. There’s been some radical progress in a few places. There are the things you know because you’ve heard them all year. You heard them in State of the Word.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We turned 20, for instance. We shipped three on-time releases. We had three well-organized flagship events, and we prototyped essential parts of phase 3. But there’s a lot of work that happens outside of flagship events and software releases, and I’d like to highlight a few examples of operational excellence in our community and ecosystem.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:31] <strong>Josepha:</strong> First highlight goes to the contributors who are building community. Going back to 2021, we’ve been working to bring people back together in person.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in that year, we had 19 events. In 2022, we had 24 events, so a modest increase of just over 30%. But then, in 2023, the WordPress community banded together on a campaign to reignite passion in our Meetup groups and encourage playfulness in our WordCamp planning. And not only did we see a 57% increase in active Meetup groups, But we also saw a 116% increase in WordCamps, 54 WordCamps in all. That’s about a third of the way to our all-time annual high of 142.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to complement these in-person opportunities, Learn also shipped 104 pieces of new content and hosted 258 online workshops because location should never be a barrier to entry for joining WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:02:32] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Second highlight goes to the contributors who are managing our directories. We do have a lot of directories. We have Plugins, Themes, Photos, Block plugins. We got a lot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I’m sure that everyone saw the consistent and borderline pleading calls to join the Plugin team this year. And for folks who’ve been around a bit, you probably recall a similar set of consistent and pleading calls to join the Theme team a few years back. Concurrent with the work to refill that contribution pipeline, folks over in Meta and across the project generally, were working on automating as many checks as possible, loosening guidelines where it was reasonable, and modernizing as many processes as we could.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m happy to share that the theme wait time is at a historic low, with their longest wait sometimes just at a week. And as anxious as I am about the plugin wait times, we’re actually seeing a lot of progress there as well. As we follow a process similar to the one that we did on themes, I imagine it’s only gonna get better. So, in 2023, we’ve onboarded six new team members. And since September, the number of plugins awaiting initial review has been cut in half.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then coming up in Q1 of 2024, we’ll have a project focused entirely on automating as many checks as possible. So I still need you, but I also need you to know that your work there matters and is having an impact.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:55] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The third highlight goes to the contributors who are doing outreach. This year, we launched a mentorship program with an 89% completion rate because we’ve seen time and again that our most prolific contributors had someone at the start that they felt safe asking dumb questions with. We launched and nurtured the developer blog, which was a need identified by the community because there was no place for intermediate and advanced developers to get excited about their cool explorations. And there were 53 posts there this year with thirteen thousand views, which is a 251% increase for the record, which is a ridiculous increase, but it’s a lot. Thirteen thousand views is a lot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have focused on documentation as we suggested in Porto of 2022. And marketing, I know not always our favorite topic, but marketing, our ability to talk about ourselves to more than just ourselves, has increased dramatically this year. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only have we started rolling out a modern design across our website, but we also are present and engaged on eight different platforms with 20-plus episodes of this very podcast and also video content that netted us seven and a half million views this year. That’s a lot of numbers, and there’s a post that goes with it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:10] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Check out the show notes. But if you’re not gonna check out the show notes because you listen to this on Pocket Casts or Google or something, go to make.WordPress.org/project, and it’ll be over there. But the point is, it’s been a banner year for the software, and I am grateful for every tester, designer, and developer that showed up for it. But I also know that what makes WordPress truly irreplaceable is our ecosystem, and it’s contributions like this and the contributors who do them that make our ecosystem vibrant and responsive and thriving on into the future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, thank you all for the contributions you make to WordPress. Thank you for the shining example of how to do open source at scale, and thank you for another great year together. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:04] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Which brings us now to our small list of big things. It is indeed a small this time. First up, I would like to introduce our enhanced content safety features on Openverse. By default, search results now exclude openly licensed media containing sensitive textual content. But this new feature adds additional filtering based on titles, tags, and descriptions of the work as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:27] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The second thing on our small list of big things is that there is just a general alert. There’s a WordPress security team impersonation scam that’s going on out there. The team is aware of multiple ongoing phishing scams impersonating both the WordPress team and the WordPress security team in an attempt to convince administrators to install a plugin on their website which contains malware. I’ll include a link to that post just in case you have anyone that you think might need to be aware of that, but also all of our site administrators know. Like, WordPress is not gonna email you asking for passwords or anything ever. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:02] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And item number three, I would like you to join the Plugin review team. I know I just said it in the body of the episode. But, the Plugin review team is looking for new members still who believe in our mission of guiding plugin authors in responsibly transforming their innovative ideas into reality and ensuring a great WordPress plugin experience for end users. There is a deadline to apply; it’s December 31st. And so you can get that done over the holidays, over a glass of eggnog if that’s how you choose to celebrate whatever it is that you do. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s it for your small list of big things. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast app or subscribe directly on WordPress.org/news.

He spoke about the aim of the Site Editor to become both an exemplary writing environment and a superior design tool while noting improvements to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/footnotes-block/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Footnotes Block</a> and the ease of <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/distraction-free-mode/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Distraction Free mode</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there was no set timeline for collaboration and workflows, MatĂas was excited to share a working prototype in the Editor. He showcased some of the most interesting aspects of collaborative editing, including establishing a sync engine that allows real-time edits to be visible across sessions. He invited contributors to test the prototype in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/\">Gutenberg plugin</a> and <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/52593\">share their feedback in Github</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, MatĂas highlighted other exciting developments, including the emphasis on Patterns and their continued evolution as a powerful tool for workflows, and the ability to connect blocks to custom fields. He was thrilled to speak about performance improvements, noting that work is in progress to make the Editor <a href=\"https://www.codevitals.run/project/gutenberg\">at least twice as fast</a>. Speaking about front-end performance, he shared what’s to come with a <a href=\"https://wpmovies.dev/\">demo of the Interactivity API</a>, showcasing how it can make transitions, search, and other interactions instant—all with standard WordPress blocks and features. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>MatĂas concluded with a look at how the Admin redesign will take cues from the Site Editor, eventually allowing users to shape their WordPress Admin experience based on their unique needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/IMAGE-2023-12-11-13_36_09.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&ssl=1\" alt=\"WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg speaking at a podium\" class=\"wp-image-16624\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/IMAGE-2023-12-11-13_36_09.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/IMAGE-2023-12-11-13_36_09.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/IMAGE-2023-12-11-13_36_09.jpg?resize=768%2C513&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2023/12/IMAGE-2023-12-11-13_36_09.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI and Data Liberation</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt returned to the stage to expand on the future of WordPress, reinforcing his past advice to <em>learn AI deeply</em>. He expressed his excitement about what can be accomplished with the wealth of AI tools available, how contributors are already experimenting with natural language processing and WordPress Playground to create and build.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Matt introduced an additional focus for the project in 2024: <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/\">Data Liberation</a>, with the goal to make importing from other platforms into WordPress as frictionless as possible. He spoke about the tendency of content management systems to keep users locked in as part of his motivation to <em>unlock digital barriers</em>. The Data Liberation initiative will work on one-click migration and the export format from WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than just tools, Data Liberation reflects the project’s ethos to allow seamless contributions. With that, Matt invited anyone interested to jump into the action, noting a new <a href=\"https://github.com/wordpress/data-liberation\">Data Liberation GitHub repository</a> and forthcoming <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack</a> channels as places to get started.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions and answers</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the presentation, Matt fielded questions from the live-stream and in-person audiences during an interactive question-and-answer session hosted by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/monchomad/\">Jose RamĂłn PadrĂłn (Moncho)</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/S01uBD2pyQY?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>\n</div></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional questions from the live session will be answered in a follow-up post on <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/project\">make.WordPress.org/project</a>.

And welcome to the WordPress Briefing. The podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:28] (Intro music) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:40] <strong>Josepha:</strong> If you’re already familiar with the WordPress project, and if you’re listening to this podcast, I feel like it’s a safe assumption that you’re probably also familiar with the fact that we are what’s considered a free and open source software project. We adhere to the four freedoms of open source. We track bugs in the open, and we believe that knowledge sharing can only improve our products. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you might not be aware of the other open source projects that are foundational to ours and otherwise are integral to our commitment to the open web. At last year’s State of the Word, Matt mentioned that one of the coolest things about being a plugin or theme author in WordPress is that you get to run your open source project on the same infrastructure that WordPress runs on. So, no matter whether you have five installs or five thousand, you’re getting the benefits of our bug trackers, messaging, and network of project sites. But beyond those, which are, of course, near and dear to us, we also support projects like PHP and its foundation. Openverse and its founding organization Creative Commons, and of course, the two that we’re hearing a lot about this year and next, Playground and Matrix.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:52] <strong>Josepha:</strong> That’s a lot of projects and not even a comprehensive list. And honestly, it can seem, I don’t know, a little weird. Like, we’re a FOSS CMS, right? You probably know why we contribute back to PHP. It’s the same reason we ask people to contribute to WordPress. But why are we giving so much time to a media search engine, or a Web Assembly implementation, or even a messaging protocol?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, there are, of course, a lot of quick and easy answers. For instance, like, open source is open source. Any open source contribution is going to be a good contribution. All open source in the world increases good and freedom in the world. Like, open source is open source. Makes sense, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another quick and easy answer is, you know, they’re part of us. And that’s true, definitely, for PHP, like, they’re part of us, and so we should be contributing back to them. Because we rely on them so much. And then a third quick and easy answer is that we, as the biggest open source CMS on the planet, basically, we can, spare a lending hand. We can offer a little bit of help to those around us. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:03] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And those are all true. I don’t think that anyone would disagree with any of that. But the thing that ties it all together for me is something that’s a little harder to see. In the 2022 goals that I posted, I said that my second goal for our year was to support open source alternatives for all site-building necessities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, I was primarily talking about Openverse and the directory of photos that was being created as a CC-first source. But that also applies to all of our directories. It did then, just as it does now. And Trac, and our vast network of WordPress sites. All the tools we use in order to collaborate with, and lead for, and learn from each other.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want us to be able to do everything it takes to build an online presence using open source tools and methods because WordPress is just a glorious little microcosm of the interconnected web. It reminds me of this art installation I had the privilege of experiencing. It’s called Meow Wolf. I went to the one in Denver, but there are a few different installations across the U.S. The one that I went to is this massive art installation, and it is designed to be interactive, but it wasn’t until you started sharing your experience sharing your knowledge with other people that you realized it was also collaborative, a set of buttons you pushed in one room would cause a light show in some other room.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:34] <strong>Josepha:</strong> So you were enhancing the experience of strangers in some completely disconnected room to yours, and they couldn’t distinguish it from an automation or something they did, or just plain old magic. And that’s what we’re doing by supporting these other open source tools. Yes, every new open source contribution results in more freedom in the world. Yes, we owe support to the components that got us where we are today. And yes, we absolutely can and should pay it forward. But more importantly than all that, we’re creating the opportunity for new interactions, new brilliance, and new defenders of the open web every time that we work on these open source products.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:20] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And it doesn’t matter if we will ever see any of those people. And it doesn’t matter if they will ever thank us. What matters is that we see that knowledge like this is worth preserving and worth sharing. Because knowledge shared, information shared is like light. The more you share it, the more there is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I want you to be able to take that sharing and use it to light the world. I want you to be able to go out and tell people how open source has changed your life, how WordPress has opened doors for you, or how much these tools have empowered your clients. I want you to remember why you came to WordPress in the first place, and I need you to hear me when I say that I need you here in WordPress today because every little ripple of good that we create makes the world a little more good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:12] (Music interlude) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:20] <strong>Josepha:</strong> (SLBT) And now, my friends, that brings us to our time for the small list of big things. I’ve got a kind of a big list because I always kind of have a big list anymore, but the first thing on my list is Gutenberg 17.1. That has been released and is available for download. It includes several new enhancements, loads of bug fixes, and continues that work on phase three features that we are starting to see come through. If you don’t have it already, go out and grab it, test it, break it, and tell us what you tested and how it broke things. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:52] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The second thing on my small list of big things is that there is currently an annual meetup survey out. So, we’ve had an increase in our meetup events, and certainly an increase in the active number of meetup groups that we have, but the community team is proposing a unified survey for all meetup members and organizers, and if you haven’t participated in it yet go and fill it out. You don’t have to have actually gone to a meetup event recently in order to take it, but, you know, it might be helpful. Either way, you have until January 14, 2024, to fill that out.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:30] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The third thing on my small list of big things is a request for feedback. The training team is working toward launching Learning Pathways in 2024. They’re looking to create a new set of content creation guidelines that enables the learning pathways to scale with a straightforward process for developing, reviewing, and updating that content. There’s a Google doc for you where you can contribute your ideas, and that doc will be open for feedback through this week and into next week. I believe it closes on Tuesday, the 19th of December, 2023.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:04] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And then the final thing on my small list of big things is actually, it’s a dual call-in. I already said with my first one about the Gutenberg plugin: get in there and test it and break it, and then tell us how it broke and what you were doing when you were testing it and broke it. And I encourage you to do that also for Matrix and Playground.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Playground has been a really big deal all year long. It was a big deal at the end of last year. It showed up for us in November 2022 and has been really just growing in surprising ways all the way through 2023. So if you have not yet seen it, you haven’t gotten your hands on it yet, it’s a WordPress installation that is loaded entirely in the browser, totally server-free, and we’re looking at a couple of new implementations that make it easier for users who are trying to, like, kick the tires of WordPress before they decide, and developers who are wanting to test new pull requests and things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So keep an eye out if it sounds interesting; it is interesting. And wander over and figure out how that’s working. And the other thing in that last call for collective testing is Matrix. So Matrix is an open source federated messaging protocol, and like so many technology projects out there at the moment, we are trying to make sure that we are preparing ourselves for the future arrival of Web 3 and all of the things that are coming along with current advancements in federated everything and AI and etc., etc.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, Matrix is an open source messaging protocol. There are a lot of different ways to get connected. I’ll share a link to one of the posts in the show notes over on WordPress.org/news. But if you’re interested in learning a bit about it and you don’t really want to like figure out what sort of client is comfortable for you to use. There’s also on-site chat implementations for, I want to say, like 10 or 12 of our largest or most regularly meeting groups that we have. You can go to parts of the website like make.WordPress.org/core/chat and check those out. If you have a WordPress.org account, then you can have access to that on-site chat, and that is it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s the whole low barrier to entryway of figuring that out with us. Come and break stuff with us, everyone, and tell us how to make it better. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:10:33] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And that, my friends, is your small list of big things.

And the information provided in a forum can help customers resolve issues on their own — reducing customer service costs and improving satisfaction. But if you’re not careful, forum spam can detract from the entire experience for members and reflect poorly on your brand.</p>\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are tools you can use to stop forum spam. When you leverage this kind of software, your customers won’t have to sift through pesky fake comments and posts to find what they’re looking for. They won’t be directed off‑site for malicious purposes, and you’ll be able to maintain a more professional environment.</p>\n\n<p>This article will start by discussing forum spam and all its variations. Then, it will outline the negative effects of spam and why certain anti‑spam techniques fail to block it. Finally, it will show you how <a href=\"https://akismet.com/enterprise/\">Akismet’s enterprise anti‑spam services</a> can stop spam registrations on your website.</p>\n\n\n<span id=\"more-283701\"></span>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is forum spam?</h2>\n\n\n<p>Whether you run a small business or a global enterprise, creating a forum is an effective way to connect with your customers. They provide people with a space to discuss (and potentially resolve) their doubts and issues. And a forum can even lighten the load on your customer support team. </p>\n\n\n<p>The only problem is that forums can become a den for spammers.</p>\n\n<p>By definition, web spam is any sort of unwanted message shared with a large number of people online. This can appear in email inboxes, the comments section of a blog post or YouTube video, a contact form, and, of course, a forum.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1448\" height=\"566\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/image-2.png\" alt=\"example of a spam comment\" class=\"wp-image-283703\" />\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, forum spam is generated by bots with a particular goal in mind. For instance, a forum spammer may want to promote a certain product to the members. This is usually quite obvious, as they clutter the forum with messages spouting the benefits of whatever they’re selling. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other times, spam can be harder to spot. These cases can be even more dangerous, as instances can contain hidden links to malicious sites. </p>\n\n\n<p>There are several different types of forum spam, like content spam, profile spam, signature spam, and private messages. We’ll cover these later in the post.</p>\n\n<p>If a forum doesn’t have a moderator or anti‑spam software in place, spam can get out of hand quickly. And even if it does have a moderator, sifting through huge volumes of spam can be a poor use of time.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the motivations behind forum spam?</h2>\n\n<p>You might be wondering why spam happens. Here are some common goals of spammers:</p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Promote a product or service</strong>. Forum spammers tend to promote unsavory products and services like gambling sites or unregulated weight loss pills. </li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Harvest personal data</strong>. Often, spam comments will contain links to malware. If a visitor clicks on the link, hackers may be able to gain access to their personal data.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Conduct a phishing scam</strong>: Malicious actors may try to lure unsuspecting victims into phishing scams by pretending to be legitimate companies. They may link to websites that look like a real corporation and then ask users to verify account information. However, that info is just sent to a cybercriminal.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Boost search engine rankings</strong>. If your domain has a decent amount of traffic, spammers may want to post links in your forum that point back to their website. This way, they can generate backlinks and trick Google into thinking they’ve been endorsed by your site. This could improve their rankings in search results.</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>These are some of the most common motivations for posting forum spam. Unfortunately, spam is always evolving, so it’s important to be wary of any suspicious activity on your forum.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the main types of forum spam?</h2>\n\n<p>To stop spam, you’ll need to understand its various formats. Here are the four most common types of spam:</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Content spam</h3>\n\n\n<p>Content spam refers to anything that’s off-topic or irrelevant to the page that it appears on. Forums are usually centered around a niche subject, so this type of spam should be easy to spot. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content spam is usually employed to promote a product or service and can contain links to another website. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Profile spam</h3>\n\n<p>To participate in an online forum, members will likely need to create a profile or an account. Forum spammers can use these profiles to spread spam without anyone noticing.</p>\n\n<p>A spam account can embed hidden links into its profile. The most common example is a link in the username. But spammers might also include a link in the bio section of the profile.</p>\n\n<p>Each time a forum spammer posts a message or someone views their profile, this link will be visible to members. But unless someone clicks on it, no one would know it’s there.</p>\n\n<p>This type of forum spam is commonly used in an attempt to trick search engines or promote a product.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Signature spam</h3>\n\n\n<p>Signature spam is a type of profile spam. Instead of hiding links in usernames and profiles, spammers include them in their signatures. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that they embed a link each time they comment or post. The rest of their comment might be completely legitimate — and thus their work is less likely to be detected. This is another way to manipulate search engines for higher rankings.</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Private message spam</h3>\n\n<p>As the name suggests, private message spam is sent to members of a forum. Considering that these messages don’t impact search engine rankings, this type of spam almost always has an intention of direct harm to your forum members.</p>\n\n<p>With private messaging, forum spammers can promote products, harvest personal data through malware in links, or set up phishing scams. This can be particularly dangerous because moderators are unable to see or stop this spam. It’s up to forum members to flag it.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the consequences of spam on a forum?</h2>\n\n\n<p>This section will discuss the consequences of spam on a forum. These apply to both enterprises and small businesses. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A degraded user experience</h3>\n\n<p>Online forums are intended to create a dedicated space on the internet for a specific community. Forum members can post questions and raise concerns, or simply start a conversation around a certain topic that they find interesting or important.</p>\n\n<p>In many cases, online forums can provide additional value to customers in the form of educational content. But if a forum is cluttered with spam, its members will likely have a hard time sifting through its posts. It will be up to them to figure out which comments are genuine and which ones are spam.</p>\n\n<p>This will lead to a degraded user experience. It could even prompt members to abandon your forum.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Damaged forum reputation</h3>\n\n<p>If a forum becomes overrun by spam, most members will assume that there aren’t any moderators to manage it. They might also think that the business or enterprise behind the forum hasn’t invested in any security measures to prevent forum spam and protect visitors.</p>\n\n<p>These perceptions can damage your reputation. Plus, it might prompt some people to look for other, more credible online communities.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. SEO implications</h3>\n\n<p>Search engine bots are always implementing new ways to spot untrustworthy web pages. This is because Google (and other search sites) want to provide internet users with the best experience possible.</p>\n\n\n<p>If your forum is littered with content that spammers are posting to manipulate their rankings, or links to malware and untrustworthy sites, there’s a good chance that search engines will catch on. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since software like <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/googlebot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Googlebot</a> can’t tell who is attempting to manipulate it, it could end up penalizing your forum, rather than the perpetrators using it to do harm. </p>\n\n\n<p>This means forum spammers can hurt your website’s search engine rankings while attempting to boost their own. Your web pages may be removed from search results until you can prove their legitimacy. This will involve removing spam links and asking Google to <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl\">recrawl your site</a>.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Security threats like malware and phishing links</h3>\n\n<p>Some of the more nefarious types of spam include malware and phishing attempts. These can have serious consequences for your business and customers.</p>\n\n\n<p>That’s because this type of spam puts sensitive data at risk. Spammers can gain access to personal information like names, email addresses, and phone numbers. As a result, affected individuals will receive spammy messages through email or SMS, or their data may be sold off. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Time and resource wastage</h3>\n\n\n<p>When your forum is plagued with spam, you’ll end up wasting resources on eliminating it. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you employ someone to <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-stop-comment-spam-in-wordpress/\">moderate and block spam comments</a> as part of their daily work routine, they may be spending too much time on these messages. That means less time to focus on more important tasks, like answering customer queries. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, any spammer is consuming your website’s server resources. Depending on the level of spam you’re dealing with, this could result in lots of wasted server space. </p>\n\n\n<p>The costs associated with hosting for enterprise organizations can get out of hand quickly. Working with efficiency in mind and proactively protecting resources is important. And for small businesses with a modest hosting plan, large volumes of spam could even impact site performance.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common characteristics of spambot registrations</h2>\n\n<p>Having an understanding of the different types of forum spam can help you identify spam more easily. Still, it’s always better to stop spam before it can infiltrate your forum.</p>\n\n<p>Here are some of the common characteristics of spambot registrations:</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Generic usernames</h3>\n\n\n<p>Spambots aren’t very creative. So, one way to spot them is by looking out for generic usernames. </p>\n\n\n<p>These include usernames like “lucky_guy” or “shy_gal”. Of course, spambots can also incorporate fake generic names into their handles.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Suspicious email domains</h3>\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common email domains are gmail.com, yahoo.com, and outlook.com. They are all associated with reputable email providers. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>A suspicious or unfamiliar email domain could indicate a forum spammer. Spam accounts are more likely to use these email providers as they may not meet the security requirements to create a legitimate address. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. IP addresses associated with spam</h3>\n\n<p>If you suspect that a forum spammer has infiltrated your online community, you can look into the IP address associated with that spam account. This can help you confirm or deny the legitimacy of the account.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll have to look at the server logs and <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-block-a-specific-ip-address-from-a-wordpress-website/\">find the IP address</a> associated with the spammy comment. Note that you won’t be able to do this with private message spam, as you’ll need access to the comment or post.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1264\" height=\"502\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/image-3.png\" alt=\"finding a spammy IP address\" class=\"wp-image-283704\" />\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common actions of forum spammers</h2>\n\n\n<p>This section will outline some of the most common actions by forum spammers. Hopefully, this will help you identify them more easily. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Replying to old/inactive threads</h3>\n\n<p>If a forum spammer wants to utilize your website’s authority to boost their search engine rankings, they’ll often reply to old and inactive threads.</p>\n\n<p>That’s because older forum threads will have received more traffic and better rankings in search results. If your forum has been active for several years, these actions should be easy to spot.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Leaving minimal replies with links included</h3>\n\n\n<p>Since a spammer has no intention of actually contributing to your online community, they tend to leave short replies with a link included. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they may offer a brief comment, this is likely something generic that has been programmed into the spambot’s capabilities. For instance, you might get something like “great content!” or “love this!”. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Placing a link and website description in their profile</h3>\n\n<p>Profile spam is very common on online forums. You’ll often see a spammer place a link and website description in their profile. In this scenario, the spammer is likely trying to promote a product or manipulate search engines.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Using misleading topic titles</h3>\n\n\n<p>If a member uses a topic title that seems relevant to the forum, but then talks about something different in the thread, this is a major red flag. </p>\n\n\n<p>Essentially, this type of spam is trying to lure members into clicking on a thread by suggesting that it will contain valuable information for them. Once they’ve clicked on the thread, forum members will likely find promotional or otherwise spammy content.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Posting off‑topic comments</h3>\n\n<p>Another clear giveaway is off‑topic comments. Similar to misleading topic titles (but more blatant), off‑topic comments are explicitly pushing the spammer’s agenda without even pretending to contribute to the forum.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Using a website name as their username</h3>\n\n<p>Many forum spammers use a website as their username. This could be a spammy marketing tactic, plain and simple. It could also include a link, which would have <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/eliminating-spam-is-good-seo/\">bigger implications for search engine optimization</a>.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Posting in a different language than the topic</h3>\n\n<p>The great thing about the internet is that people have access to forums in almost every country and every language. People often tend to congregate on forums with like‑minded individuals as well as those with similar backgrounds, so while it’s definitely not a guarantee, a new user that posts in a language rarely used by other members of the forum can signal that they’re not there for anything good.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common anti‑spam techniques (and why they fail to impress)</h2>\n\n<p>Forum spam can be a serious problem, and common anti‑spam techniques might not always be efficient in spotting it. This section will discuss some of the reasons why these approaches fail.</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. CAPTCHAs </h3>\n\n\n<p>One of the most common anti‑spam methods involves CAPTCHAs. This is particularly common for online forms (like contact forms) and <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-stop-user-spam-registrations-in-wordpress/\">user registration forms</a>.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"423\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/image-4.png\" alt=\"example of a CAPTCHA where the user types two words\" class=\"wp-image-283705\" />\n\n\n\n<p>A CAPTCHA presents a challenge or puzzle that spambots should be unable to complete. The theory is that it will prevent them from submitting content, but CAPTCHAs have several limitations. </p>\n\n\n<p>First of all, they’re not 100 percent effective, since <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/do-captcha-and-recaptcha-protect-wordpress-sites-from-bots/\">many bots can bypass CAPTCHAs</a>. Plus, they’re not the most accessible anti‑spam tactic, as they can alienate people who have varying impairments.</p>\n\n\n<p>In the past, CAPTCHAs were pretty straightforward. For example, you would have had to interpret some blurry letters and numbers. </p>\n\n\n<p>But CAPTCHAs have become more difficult, even for authentic users who are likely to become pretty frustrated after the first or second failed attempt. These real people might even end up abandoning your site altogether.</p>\n\n\n<p>Newer versions ask users to do things like “find all the images with stoplights.” But they’re just as annoying for humans and still not very effective against robots. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even the latest option — reCAPTCHA v3 — seems like an improvement for users, since there’s no visible test required to gain access, but it comes with some serious downsides. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, it provides Google with a lot of data that many are concerned violates the privacy of users. It can deter good bots like search engine crawlers. Finally, and perhaps the most annoying, real users can be flagged as spam without any way to prove their legitimacy. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Question‑based challenges</h3>\n\n<p>Question‑based challenges are another common anti‑spam tactic. Although they aren’t as ubiquitous as CAPTCHAs and reCAPTCHAs, they come with the same limitations.</p>\n\n<p>They can create an obstacle for individuals with different abilities. If they become frustrated enough, they could give up on the challenge. As a result, you could end up losing conversions (or, in this context, new forum members).</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Email verification </h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email verification is another popular way to prevent spambots from infiltrating websites. It’s a bit more user-friendly than a CAPTCHA, but still creates an additional step in the registration process. </p>\n\n\n<p>Since getting conversions is hard enough, this tactic isn’t ideal. You’ll want to avoid any friction and streamline the signup process as much as possible.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Akismet: The #1 tool to stop forum spam registrations</h2>\n\n\n<p>So how can you eliminate forum spam without deterring real users?

My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, the challenges posed by multi collaboration in WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you could do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice.

Head to WPTavern.com forward slash contact forward slash jukebox, and use the form there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on the podcast today, we have Anil Gupta. Anil is the CEO and co-founder of Multidots, Multicollab, and DotStore. His companies serve a wide range of customers, from large publishers and news companies to WordPress users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of specific interest to this episode of the podcast is Multicollab, which offers a WordPress plugin that allows for Google docs style collaboration, including commenting, suggestions, and real time editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Google docs was first brought to the market, it was a pretty big deal. Perhaps not the first to offer a real time collaborative interface, it was certainly the first to gain widespread adoption.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast-forward to today, and it’s more or less inconceivable that you’d create documents which were not editable by multiple people at the same time. Most modern online software ships with this built in. The extraordinary became the norm and the expectation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what’s about WordPress? As the largest CMS, WordPress still lacks this functionality, but hopefully not for long.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase three of the Gutenberg project, the phase that we’re in at the moment, aims to make it possible for many users to amend content at the same time. The beguiling simplicity of the Google docs interface makes it seem like this would be a trivial feature to add into WordPress, but this is not the case. Unlike proprietary software, in which the vendor owns and manages the whole stack, WordPress is used by many different people, in many different ways. They might have a shared server, or a range of plugins, and this all complicates the picture.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil talks about how his team decided to tackle this problem for their own plugin, and he explains some of the hurdles that they’ve experienced along the way. They’ve taken a cautious approach, developing different features one at a time, working through the technical challenges with commenting before moving on to real time editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil paints a picture of a bright future for WordPress, once this new feature set is completed. But it’s also interesting to see how many challenges the developers will need to overcome before it can be shipped in a future WordPress update.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in finding out about the future of editing content in WordPress, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to WPTavern.com forward slash podcast.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so without further delay, I bring you Anil Gupta.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am joined on the podcast today by Anil Gupta. Hello Anil.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:56] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Hey Nathan, how are you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:58] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, great. It is an absolute pleasure to have you on the podcast. Anil and I have spoken on various occasions before, but we’ve never had a one-to-one conversation, certainly not about this subject. But we’re going to be talking today about phase three of the Gutenberg project, and in particular, about the ability to collaborate on documents inside of WordPress. How that might come about. What some of the technical barriers might be.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in order for Anil to be a credible person on this podcast, it’s probably a good idea to give him the opportunity to introduce himself, and let him talk briefly about the projects that he’s working on, or worked on which overlap what we’re going to talk about.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Anil, this is just an opportunity really to give your bio, so that our audience know that you know what you’re talking about. So over to you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:42] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Absolutely. So I’m a CEO and co-founder of Multidots, Multicollab and Dotstore. So these three brands serve very different group of customers. Multidots is more like our WordPress agency side of the business, where we help large publishers, news and media companies for their WordPress migration. So whatever CMS they’re using, we help them to migrate to WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our second brand Multicollab, which is a WordPress plugin, a Google Doc style collaboration, that doesn’t exist at this moment in WordPress. But with this plugin, you can use commenting, suggestions and real time editing. And that’s one of the topics that we are going to talk about today.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third brand is called Dotstore, which serves small e-commerce business owners. So if you have a WooCommerce store, we provide bunch of different WooCommerce plugins that helps you to get more sales and better performance, and all those good stuff.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from these three brands, I also have a podcast called Peaceful Growth, where we talk about some of the strategies on how to grow in life and business, in a more peaceful and balanced way.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, thank you so much. That’s great. So now we know all about you, well, not all about you, but some things about you. Let’s get into the subject at hand, which is going to be multi collaboration inside of WordPress. And I think really, to begin with, let’s imagine in the conversation that we’re going to have, that we are just creating posts and pages. Let’s leave it at that for now, because that will mean that the conversation is easier to understand. And I guess I’m just going to hand it over to you to ask why we need this kind of feature inside of WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just before you begin answering that, I’ll say, if you’ve never used Google Docs or Office 365, then it may be that you don’t even know what we’re talking about. So this is the ability for a variety of people to log into something at the same time, the same document, and be editing it synchronously. So if you were to edit something, I would see your edits the moment that you made them, and in that way we can collaborate.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is still a mystery to me how this actually happens on the backend, but it certainly isn’t a part of WordPress. At the moment if somebody’s editing something, you are locked out, if it’s not you. And you have to wait until they’re finished, and that might even mean a phone call or an email to tell them, are you finished yet? And this all seems a little bit Victorian, you might say. It’s really from a different era, now that everybody’s got collaborative editing. But, why do we need it in WordPress? What’s wrong with what we’ve got right now?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:04] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Good question. I would say there are multiple reasons, as well as benefits, of collaboration. But let’s start with the reasons. Traditionally if we go back, when WordPress was launched 18, 20 years ago, the sole purpose of the WordPress was to provide a platform where content creators, publishers, or bloggers, they can create the content easily and quickly, right? And it solved the purpose.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, in the last 10 years we have observed that anything that we do digitally now, it’s not a single or solo creation. You collaborate, we collaborate with others in regards to creating and producing stuff. Now, if you look at the content publishing, content creation applications, I think Google Docs or Microsoft Word, or any application for that sake, you know, if you look, they kind of like already saw this need, as the internet bandwidth and infrastructure got better. The need to collaborate together and create content together, actually increased, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So 10 years ago, when Google Doc and all other content creation app, they already kind of started working on adding the collaboration as a part of their content creation platform. And in last five years, all the modern content creation platform, whether it’s Canva or Notion, they kind of all also have started introducing the collaboration.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t have collaboration. And why we need a collaboration, you know, the one reason I see is like, now we are not creating the content alone. You know, like even if you are a blogger, you have at least someone you know, that you would like to share your piece of content before you publish it. And then they will share some of the ideas like, okay, you know we should add some graphics here. And just that collaborative communication.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now, yes, there are other apps that we use, maybe Slack, Zoom, Loom. Like a lot of different other communication apps that we might be using, in order to achieve this feature. But because all other content creation apps has all these features inbuilt, now it has become an expectation for anyone who is either using WordPress or switching to WordPress, that I would have the same collaborative tools that I was using in my previous content creation apps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last thing I would say is since pandemic, you know, that like earlier a lot of people were kind of like working from the same office, so they will be more collaborating over the floor, and just like, you know, or the tea and coffee conversation. Now, as we all are virtual, working from remote places and all that. So then it’s not real time, where like, you know, two people can be available. The time zone differences, and a lot of things actually creates that space, where the need for async communication has also been increased. And that is where also, if we have all the collaboration features in the WordPress, that will be helpful.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:09:54] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it’s interesting because I am of a certain age, and I started using WordPress at a time when, well, not necessarily WordPress, but I started using CMSs at a time where there was absolutely no expectation that anything was collaborative. And so I’m kind of okay with it. It’s not perfect, I would love for collaboration to be in there, but I’m used to it, and this is just how WordPress works. I understand that if somebody’s editing something, I have to wait a little bit.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I’m thinking in particular about my children, and the fact that they’ve been brought up in an era where this is the bare minimum of what a document workflow would be like. You begin creating it, you put a title in, and then maybe even the next step, rather than writing the content, is to click the share icon, wherever that may be, and to get your fellow collaborators in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I know, for example, that schools throughout the UK are using all the different suites that you mentioned, to enable them to hand homework in. And their staff can edit things, and modify things, and correct their work and all of that. And it’s just the bare essentials. And so somebody like me, it’s fine. I’m used to it. But the next generation, the people that are growing up, the people who are, let’s say, I don’t know, 20 or below, there’s no way that it’s acceptable to not have collaborative editing. It’s just too strange, alien. And if that’s the case, it will probably not be used.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, you log into WordPress for the first time, see it cannot do that, and then think, well, I’ll go to somewhere that can. And as we know, WordPress is in a competitive landscape. We’ve got the SaaS apps out there, the Wixs and the Squarespaces, and I don’t actually know if they can do these features.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:36] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> I think Wix does, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Right, okay. So we think that some of them do, and the fact that they’ve got their own architecture, you know, they own all of the infrastructure, and they can put the resources into place for that. It’s probably more straightforward to them to do that. So that leads us to the next thing really, which is, when we’re talking about this, are you able to just flesh out the landscape a little bit?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any insight into what specifically is in the proposal for sharing within WordPress? Because Google Docs, you share a doc. Google spreadsheets, you share a spreadsheet, and it’s fairly constrained. We’d be sharing something, which can be filled up with a myriad of different things, little blocks. You know, it might be a paragraph block, or a YouTube block, or a image block, or goodness knows what array of blocks you may put in. Do you have some insight into exactly what’s inside the spec for Gutenberg phase three, this collaborative era?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:30] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Yeah. So MatĂas, lead architecture of Gutenberg, he kind of shared a full roadmap of what we can expect in phase three, which is a collaboration phase of Gutenberg. It has workflows. So the one thing is, as soon as you have this, all the collaboration features, you know, we need to also control the workflow. Like who will approve, who will publish, because multiple people are on the document. You know, where we want to control, or design a workflow in a way so that, if somebody’s still drafting, someone else doesn’t just publish it accidentally, right? So there are like a lot of, I would say, some workflows.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then second I would say, which is their async communication. So async is where multiple people can update, contribute to a piece of content, without need of being online. All the changes are synced. And then, it also has some inline commenting. So we can provide some, select any piece of content, a block, a text, table or image, and leave some comments that like, hey, I don’t like this image. Can we change that? Or, what do you think? Like, ask someone else’s opinion.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, specifically talking about the phase three, I think they also have the whole admin panel. So I think they’re working on the admin panel. I’m not sure if directly related to collaboration, but as a part of the phase three, they are working on revamping the admin interface.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at the focus only on the collaboration, I would say async communication, inline commenting, and some level of workflows. You know, those are the three big things that I see will be there in phase three.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:00] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, there’s an awful lot packaged into that, isn’t there? Just as you were speaking there, a whole myriad of things were coming into my head. And I should probably rewind and say, if this is achieved, it will be in a vanilla version of WordPress. I know that you have a solution where you can add a plugin, and we’ll come to that later. You can talk about some of the hurdles that you’ve had to overcome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in a vanilla version of WordPress, everybody will have this functionality, should it be achieved. And at the moment, in a vanilla version of WordPress, the publishing flow is really, pretty straightforward. You log in, and you basically click publish. But you’ve just introduced a whole raft of different things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So workflows, let’s take that. You know, if you’ve got seven people, eight people, a hundred, who knows. Any number of people who are editing in there, there may be a myriad of different permissions. This person is able to do this, and this person is able to do that. But finally, only these three people can publish things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we need to come up with a visual way of surfacing that inside the UI so that, I don’t know, if six people have been in, and they’ve edited this, is everything that they’ve done okay? Can we just have a quick scan through it? None of that exists, really, at the moment. Third party solutions can bring that to bear, but none of that really exists.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole async thing, well, that’s removed entirely at the moment, because you just click either update or, you know, you click publish, and whatever you’ve got on the page or the post is what is saved. And it’s as simple as that. Where, you’re saying that maybe if somebody, I don’t know, it goes offline temporarily. We have to have some way to keep their content, so that when they come back online, it somehow gets synced.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And anybody that’s been involved in building or developing realises, you know, if things get outta sync pretty quickly, it’s a hot mess. And trying to untangle, well, when did that happen? Who put that in, and when did they do it? That’s going to be interesting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then yes, of course, the whole inline commenting thing. You forget, don’t you? If you don’t use the comments in a, let’s say a Google Doc again, you forget that there’s that whole interface, which doesn’t come to bear unless you use it, which enables you to give commentary on things. To say, I think you should modify this, this is fine. And you can tick things off, and it’s almost like a little task management system.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then it sends out a slew of emails to say, oh, somebody’s edited this, that, and the other thing. And, you know, it makes decisions about how many emails to send out based upon the rapidity of the changes going on. So there really, really is a lot in there that needs to be, first of all, figured out, and then made visible to us in a way which is intuitive, and that the next generation can understand without having to think too hard. That’s a lot, isn’t it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:42] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> It is, yeah. And I think, all these little things, if we keep it into account, like email notification that you mentioned, and if somebody’s already editing a document, there are some changes which are not approved, you know, whether we should be able to publish it or not. There are a lot of little things that we need to think about when we are creating this solution.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But most importantly, people who used to use WordPress, you know, the way as we talked about, you know, you go on a post and start drafting the content, and select some blocks here and there, and then you go ahead and publish it. So now when multiple people are collaborating, yeah, you need to pay attention to all those different things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Permissions that you mentioned, yeah, I think that’s something that, even in our plugin, we are kind of getting a lot. That the default WordPress roles, we kind of think a little bit more about on that too, in regards to like, hey, I don’t want this person to approve any changes, you know. It should be this person. Though that person can edit anything, but they will not be able to accept any changes, or close the comments.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So those are like a lot of little things that need to be there. And user experience, I think will be a very big thing that we need to pay attention to as well, so that we don’t overwhelm the people who love WordPress, simplicity of the WordPress, and when they see all this stuff, is like, why? What’s going on?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:55] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I do wonder on what level the granularity of permissions works. So, is it all done by the role-based system? So, you know, if you have a certain role, you can go in and edit any post or any page. Or, would it be nice to have it on a more granular level? So, okay, although this person has this particular role, which would preclude them from editing this, I want to allow them to edit this one special thing, because it’s right in their wheelhouse. So, okay, even though they’ve got this role, I want them to adopt a different role, just for this one post.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then maybe even delving deeper inside the post or the page itself. What about the ability to just edit certain blocks? So paragraph blocks, yes, go for it. But the YouTube block, no, no, no, that’s not for you to be editing. Or the images, no, you can’t do that. You know what I mean? You can get really granular. And I guess it’s a question of how granular we want that to be, and how do you surface that in a way which is easy to understand?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then you mentioned also, the visual cues that you’re getting inside of these third party solutions, like Google Docs. You can really see what somebody is doing. So you get this little icon, which is within the document, it kind of stays out the way a little bit. You know, it’s a very thin, little couple of pixels wide icon with a color. But you can see, okay, that’s where somebody’s cursor is, and if they highlight a portion of text, because they want to delete it or something, you can see that that’s highlighted.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In WordPress that might span several blocks. Whereas in a Google Doc it’s just, it’s all one thing so it doesn’t really matter. But it may be that it highlights, you know, you highlight two paragraph blocks and a heading block, then you’re going to delete those. How does that all get done? How does it get saved? How can you revert changes that are made? Boy, there really is a lot going on in here.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:19:34] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> It’s a massive technical problem that we need to solve, in order to provide this feature, as well as offer that in a way so that it still is helpful. You know, to help them to create and published content faster, not slowing them down.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:19:47] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> The thing about this is, you can’t really release something that isn’t working perfectly, in the scenario that it’s been created for. I don’t know, we tackle, user permissions first. That has to be perfect before it’s released. It can’t be kind of, okay, just test this out a little bit and see how it goes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has to be bulletproof, the moment it ships into WordPress Core. And I think that some of the things that came into Gutenberg, and went out of Gutenberg, and got changed in Gutenberg, that was more or less okay, because it didn’t interrupt the publishing workflow. It just, maybe things surfaced on the front end slightly differently. Or there was a block that was suddenly now available, which wasn’t available there before. And all of that was okay. But if we’ve suddenly got things which mean, well, no I can’t publish anymore, that’s not working for me. Oh, okay, that’s not so good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in the background, what are you thinking ought to be in view here? You know, are you thinking that it should just be core blocks at the beginning, the blocks which WordPress ships with? Should they be the things that are tackled? Should it be attached to just posts and pages and custom post types, leave all of that. Templates, leave all of that. Patterns, leave all of that. Do you have any intuition as to how deep it should go at the beginning, to make it even feasible to get off the ground?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:21:00] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Yeah, so I think that’s a really good question. The reason is, as we talked about, like collaboration is a massive problem. And you can’t try to change everything in one go, you know. So you need to take a different part of the collaboration, and slowly build it in a way so that, yeah, you don’t basically put the whole house down, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m not sure what’s the WordPress Core’s approach is, but when we started working on Multicollab, our approach was, let’s focus on the one feature at that time. So what we did is, we first launched only inline commenting, so no real time editing, so we don’t have to worry about the permissions and all that. No real time editing, just inline commenting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in any piece of content, you can select it, whether it’s a blog, whether it’s media, whether it’s a text. You select it, and it’ll give you little comment box, where you can add a comment like, hey, I need some feedback on this, or changes here. And you can also mention anyone who is a WordPress user. So you type in at, then you can select a user, and they will be notified, and they can see and come back to the WordPress post. And they will see like, oh, somebody wants my feedback and opinion on that, and they can reply there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that was the first thing we launched. And we perfected that inline commenting almost for like a two years. So we focused on that, to make sure that works. And what you mentioned, one of the big challenge with the WordPress is, everyone has themes, plugins, and blocks, right? So, what sort of blocks are they using in Gutenberg setup, or what sort of plugins are they using?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Yoast SEO also manipulates the page editing interface and workflow. So that’s why we decided like, alright, we’ll just start with the inline commenting. We slowly increased it. We still have a compatibility metrics where we continue to tell them like, hey, at this moment, this 20, 25, or 30, or 60, however many blocks are like, this is what it supports.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we slowly started focusing on more popular plugins, and their blocks. So then, slowly, we are increasing the compatibility to more blocks. But that’s something that it’s very hard to do it in a day one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:22:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Do you mind if I just interrupt there? So, that’s really interesting. So, did you have to take each of the Core blocks one at a time, and provide some engineering in the background that made it so that that block was available to be editable in a Multicollab setup? So you had to do the paragraph block, and then the heading block and then, okay, aspects of the group block, which might break something else, we had to deal with that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you had to do that first. And then, because all the third party vendors who’ve got the blocks and the block suites and, you know, there’s a lot of those now. You’re having to tackle those because they don’t necessarily work. So immediately my head is this multiplying problem of, how do we reign that back in? How do we get it so that everything is engineered, so that it will be collaborative? So let me just ask that question again. Did you have to do the blocks one at a time, is basically what I’m asking?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:51] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> So the approach that we took, first, we actually, instead of blocks, we were focusing on the type of content. So whether it’s a text, whether it’s media, you know, or whether it’s a dynamic content. Dynamic content is, you know, where you are not typing it in, but it’s just pulling in from, let’s say, from the database, and pulling in like featured post, right? Or let’s say testimonials. So you don’t type in and it’s already coming in from somewhere else like, you know, and then you just curating that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we kind of started that like, okay, how should we actually treat a text? And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a custom block, native block, or someone else’s block. As long as there is a text in that, how we should treat that. If there is a media, how we should treat that. We kind of started that. And that was our phase one. So it doesn’t matter what block you have, as long as you have text media and like couple of things, it will work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, once we achieved that, the second phase was how we make sure that we don’t have to edit anything in the code, but still our inline commenting works for whatever the blocks are. Our developer observed that, if blocks are custom blocks, are designed and developed based on following the Gutenberg’s guideline then our plugin was working. But if they don’t follow the Gutenberg guideline, if you just kind of, you know, do on your own thing, that’s where our inline commenting, and some of the things that we were doing was not functioning.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now in our phase three. So right now we have, as long as your Gutenberg blocks is following, custom blocks, they’re following Gutenberg guideline, doesn’t matter what kind of blocks you have, it will work. And we also did an approach where, if for some reason your block is very complex, then instead of the content inside the block, you can highlight the entire block.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that’s where we started with like, okay, we can’t actually do much about what is in the block, but you can still give a comment on entire block. It’s working, like most of the blocks where we doesn’t support, you can still select the entire block, and leave a comment on the block. Like, hey, there’s something needs to look in there. But they will not be able to select a particular text, or image inside the block and highlight that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our phase three, that is where we are working on. Doesn’t matter what blocks you have, but how we can manipulate the HTML DOM model. So it’s called Document Object Model, right? So the entire page is basically a DOM structure. So now we are working on how we can use the DOM JavaScript and HTML manipulation, so that you don’t need to worry about any block compatibility, it will automatically work with all the blocks. That’s our phase three.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It does sound like there is going to be a lot of work for the Core WordPress team, to tackle this from some of the experiences that you’ve just highlighted. It is very much an iterative approach. And I guess time will tell how they decide to tackle that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any intuition on the, backend I guess is the wrong word. But there are some people who are able to afford really complicated server setups and, you know, they’ve got powerful hosting and all of that. And you kind of get the impression that a lot of this is going to be calling back and forth to the server, constantly. Because if you imagine that there’s seven people editing a document at once, that’s seven bits of information that needs to be flying, more or less in real time, the entire time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst that might be possible to have, if you’ve got an expensive hosting set up, which is configured for this. Do you have any intuitions that if you’re on more affordable hosting, like a shared host and you’ve just got a basic plan, do you see this becoming a problem, because of the amount of data that’s going to be flying back and forth, and the power of that computer, acting as a server? What do you think?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:27:21] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> So when it comes to collaboration, and as we talked about, inline commenting, suggestions, like any edits that you make becomes suggestion, and then the real time editing. So I feel like these three are the big pillars of collaboration. Now when we launched Multicollab, you know, we launched with inline commenting, and then we launched suggestion mode, and now recently we launched the real time editing. The third piece of the collaboration.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First two piece, inline commenting and suggestion mode. So that’s something that we tested, and we found that it doesn’t require any fancy server configuration. Whatever server or hosting that you’re using right now, that will be sufficient. Because in that we are not using any peer to peer connection, because we haven’t introduced the real time editing yet. As long as you’re using those two features for the collaboration, you’ll be good with pretty much whatever server you have right now.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the moment you introduce real time editing, that is where the server and the whole performance thing actually becomes very critical. And that’s where the challenge with the WordPress is, that all other content creation apps, and the platform, they are cloud. They’re hosted in cloud, so they have a control on the computing power, and the cloud infrastructure. They can scale the cloud infrastructure because everyone sign in and access the same cloud. One other way, they don’t go and take a piece of source code and install and use it on their own server, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for that, especially this real time editing, where multiple users simultaneously can edit, and all those things that we talked about. That you highlight the cursor where other users are in the post, and if they make any changes, the changes also sync with the other people who are editing, or working on right now.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is where a server comes into the picture, and our team actually put together a server requirement. Like, what’s the minimum level of server configuration that we need in order for real time editing to work? And that is actually a challenge that we are still working on, and finding a way to see that, what are those major hosting companies, like managed hosting, the big hosting companies. And if their current server infrastructure meets the realtime editing or not.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s why we launched the realtime editing, at this moment. But it’s still on a beta and it’s by default off. One way we are handling this problem, is we are giving them an option like, hey, if you want to use the realtime editing, it requires certain level of server performance and power. If you have it, then here is the instruction that you can follow, and then you can use the real time editing. If you don’t have it, then you can use our server. So we have created our own server, you know, a massive server where all these async communication happens. The data is encrypted and all of that, but yes, we are giving the choice that, hey, if your server doesn’t support it, then you can use our server. So it’s kind of like cloud, so we have created our own little cloud, which they can use for this async communication.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:30:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So, is that a fairly seamless experience? So firstly, that answer is fascinating. So there is a roadblock, there is a server configuration, at least in your experience, which renders the whole enterprise of synchronous editing painful, impossible, perhaps. And if you are prepared to read the documentation, and get yourself onto a server which you have determined is suitable, then it’ll work. Otherwise, here’s a button for you to press.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it as straightforward as that? You just sort of click a button and you are taking over that heavy lifting on the server. But it’s purely just for those sync transactions. It’s not for anything else. It’s not for keeping the content of the post, it’s just the bits and pieces that are firing to do the synchronous work, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:00] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> That’s very true, yeah. So the way we have done is, right now, if you download multi collab, it’s default, set it to our server, because we want to have them try it and test it. And then they can change it like, no, I don’t want to use your server, I want to, let’s say, configure my own server. Then you just turn that feature off, and you can take over.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want to use our server, you don’t have to do anything. It’s just built in, and it’s already all the server variables, and everything we have already put into the plugin. So when you go, you just turn on the real time editing, and you can start using the real time editing without making any changes in your server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:35] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It’s kind of an interesting idea because, on the one hand, it creates a marketplace for people such as yourself to offer that service. You know, if you want to have synchronous editing for a hundred people, and for it to be absolutely bulletproof, here’s a plugin which connects to a service, which will give you the horsepower in order to do that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at the same time, the way that it’s been described, phase three feels like the enterprise is to get this working for everybody, out of the box. And from what you are saying, obviously, you know, maybe technology will improve, and browser capabilities will improve, and all sorts of things will improve. Maybe this will be possible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it does feel like the offering is, this is going to be available to everybody. And it would be strange for a Core feature like that to have some kind of paywall attached to it. Now, I know that we’ve got examples throughout the ecosystem of obviously extra things that you can add in. But if it’s going to be available in Core, it seems odd to then be saying, well actually, your version of Core on that server isn’t going to cut it. I’m sorry, you’re going to have to part with some money.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That feels almost like straying away from what the promise of it is. Do you understand what I’m trying to say? It feels odd to offer something in Core, which then you have to pay for because your server doesn’t live up to it. But then again, that’s just the way it might have to be, I suppose.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:32:57] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Yeah. I think that’s where I’m also curious to see how WordPress Core is going to address this problem. Because, based on our research, for last one and a half year we have been working on async and real time editing. We tried WebSocket, WebRTC, pretty much like bunch of different, all of the protocols, we tested it out.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one thing that we are seeing repeatedly is that, yeah, the server plays a very, very big role, hosting, specifically plays a big role. And the WebSocket needs to be enabled, and also depending on how many requests, and all of that. So there are like a lot of things that needs to be happen, before even you can turn on and use the real time editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if WordPress Core is targeting that it will work seamlessly out of the box as you install the plugin. And especially like, you know, if you don’t have all this WebRTC, WebSocket, or whatever the server infrastructure is required. It’s a big question for me, how they’re going to tackle that problem, because at this moment we don’t have a solution.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s why we created this. Like we bought this massive server computing power so that it can support that. The people who are using our plugin, they’re paying for that services, and they’re aware about it. But WordPress Core, I think the goal is to kind of like have that for free, so that you can use and install it. And I’m not sure how they’re going to solve this problem.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:34:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah and, what does graceful failure look like in that scenario? So if a modest server can cope with one or two people, what happens when you reach the limit of that? So you’ve added in another five people, and suddenly everything’s under strain, it’s no longer working. How do you inform, or how do you encourage the user to do things differently?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the last thing you want to do is lock people out of the editor, or something goes wrong in the editor, and it all becomes a problem, I can no longer publish things. Three of us are locked out, and now we can no longer get back in, or we couldn’t collaborate in the way that we thought we could. It was working better yesterday than it’s working today. Those kind of things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that seems an almost insurmountable technical challenge to at the moment anyway. We’re recording this at the end of 2023. It seems like an almost insurmountable challenge to be able to do that and provide it for everybody out of the box, even on the most straightforward, modest hosting package. So, yeah, I guess only time will tell.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any other things that you’ve had to tackle, trying to get this done, that you would like to share? Is there any technical challenges that you’ve faced, or quirky experiences that you’ve had and things that you didn’t anticipate on the road that you now look back and think, oh, oh boy, I wish we’d thought of that in advance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:35:32] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Yeah, I think the big piece, what I see is the inline commenting, suggestion, and real time editing like beside this server configuration for the real time editing. I think one is, it’s whole new learning curve. You know, so let’s say when you’re using the WordPress and now when you introduce all these features, there is a learning curve for the content creators.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s not a technical challenge, but I think it’s more like adaptation challenge. And one thing that I think we did good and it was a decision, like a very deliberate decision that we want to keep the interface as close to Google Doc. Because Google Doc, I believe, is something that has already set a bar, you know. So when people are very familiar with like how to use the share button, how to invite someone, and leave the inline commenting. And if you kind of like try to introduce completely new interface for the collaboration, then that will also be a big learning curve.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that’s kind of like feedback that we got initially, when we try to be a little bit more innovative, like, let’s try to, you know, provide the best collaboration interface. It didn’t go well. We were like no, we want Google Doc. We want Google Doc style and that kind of like become our roadmap.. So if you are using MultiCollab right now, using the share button, the sidebar activities, inline commenting, suggestion mode, pretty much like all those features works very similar to how you use the Google Doc.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you will not see that big difference when you come to WordPress, that you will feel like it’s Google doc style interface. And challenge for us was to build that on the top of Gutenberg. I think that was a big, both technical, as well as a UI and user experience challenge.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:37:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Given that this is coming down the road and, let’s imagine a future where everything works and the team that are behind this managed to pull everything off, and it’s absolutely perfectly working and everything’s fine. How did you decide that you wanted to get into this business?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because before we hit record, I asked you that question. I said, did you decide to have this business knowing that it was coming into Core? And if that’s the case, why did you do that? Because it seems almost like you’re setting yourself up to have a business which is going to be replaced by something that’s free.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you’ve got intuitions around that. I guess it’s around what you can package, which may exceed what the endeavor of Core is. We’ve been assuming that it would try to do everything all at once for everybody, and of course that may not be the case. It may be a very, a slim implementation. So just talk us through that. How anxious are you about phase three eating your company’s lunch?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:38:11] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> So when we started working on MultiCollab, I already was aware the phase three was already announced. They already mentioned that we are going to focus on collaboration. So it wasn’t a surprise in the beginning. The way I saw that as an opportunity, I feel like even where we know that when WordPress Core built or design anything, they try to focus on the 48% of the web. You know, it’s like a lot of small, medium businesses, bloggers. So basically they have to kind of like put it to together, something that’s targeting for a very wide audience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, we focus, a lot of our features, like real time editing, inline commenting, these are all free, so you don’t have to pay for using those features. There are some pro level features while custom roles and permissions is concerned, Slack integration. So some of our publishers who use collaboration, they also like integrate that with their Slack and some enterprise tools they use.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that’s where we see an opportunity that we can provide the tailored, custom solutions, to this 20, 30% of the pro users who wants things a little bit differently and more customizations.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also by design, you know, the WordPress Core is going to be slow because, you know, everything they have to build, they have to do. It’s a massive force. And on the other side, like we have only one thing, this is the only project that we have. We don’t have like bunch of other phases that we have to worry about. So, that’s something that we, in last two years, we had made a new release every month. You know, so every month we have a new release, fix a bunch of different things, improve different things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think that turn around is something that we were able to do much faster than probably WordPress Core can do. And the support is something that I feel like that is the only focus that we have. And I think we have seen that again and again in the WordPress and all other economy where, we have so many page builders, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like still they’re thriving, despite Gutenberg is free. It’s in built and all that, but still, Elementor. And same goes for the bunch of other features like commenting for example. There are like bunch of different commenting solutions because what WordPress offer, post commenting is not enough, or not the way other people wants it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:40:20] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think it’s really interesting, and my guess is that the conversation in the WordPress space for the next 18 months at least will be highly focused on this topic. And the fact that people are talking about it, and the fact that you’ve already done a lot of work inside that space. Actually, when I think about it a little bit more, maybe it puts you in a kind of a pole position to have those conversations.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also you can build on top of what Core produces. And it may be that there’s parts of the code that you’ve already written that can be removed or replaced by what’s in Core, and you can build on top of that. So yeah, that’s an interesting approach, and WordPress’ history does show that, doesn’t it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the page builder example is perfect. There isn’t just space for one. The audience inside the WordPress community is so vast that you can have myriad different solutions to the same problem. And although WordPress might be tackling collaboration in some form, it may be that other people wish to have a different form of collaboration, or an extended feature set in the collaboration space. So yeah, that’s a nice answer and it, certainly implies that you’ll be around for the foreseeable future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil, before we wrap it up, I just want to give you an opportunity to tell us where people can find you if they want to reach out to you, where would be the best place to do that?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:41:41] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> For me personally, I have a newsletter slash blog, where I write a lot about different things that I’m experimenting, and talk a lot about my businesses and podcast and all that. So that place would be my blog, that is anilg.substack.com. But for MultiCollab, it’s very simple, we have actually very good advantage if you search for WordPress collaboration or just multi collab, you’ll see a lot of resources that we have published and our website comes because we don’t have a competition at this moment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:42:10] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Google is your best friend, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. So Anil, thank you so much for sharing your insights into multi collaboration in the WordPress space. We’ll see how this all develops, but thank you so much for chatting to me today, I really appreciate it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:42:24] <strong>Anil Gupta:</strong> Thanks for having me. And uh, yeah, it was a blast.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://anilg.substack.com/\">Anil Gupta</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil is the CEO and co-founder of <a href=\"https://www.multidots.com/\">Multidots</a>, <a href=\"https://www.multicollab.com/\">Multicollab</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.thedotstore.com/\">DotStore</a>. His companies serve a wide range of customers, from large publishers and news companies to WordPress users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of specific interest to this episode of the podcast is Multicollab, which offers a WordPress plugin that allows for Google Doc-style collaboration, including commenting, suggestions, and real-time editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Google Docs was first brought to the market, it was a pretty big deal. Perhaps not the first to offer a real time collaborative interface, it was certainly the first to gain widespread adoption. Fast forward to today and it’s more or less inconceivable that you’d create documents which were not editable by multiple people at the same time. Most modern online software ships with this built in. The extraordinary became the norm, and the expectation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By what about WordPress? As the largest CMS, WordPress still lacks this functionality, but hopefully not for long. Phase 3 of the Gutenberg project, the phase that we are in at the moment, aims to make it possible for many users to amend content at the same time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beguiling simplicity of the Google Docs interface makes it seem that this would be a trivial feature to add into WordPress, but this is not the case. Unlike proprietary software in which the vendor owns and manages the whole stack, WordPress is used by many different people, in many different ways. They might have a shared server, or a range of plugins, and this all complicates the picture.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil talks about how his team decided to tackle this problem for their own plugin, and he explains some of the hurdles they’ve experienced along the way. They’ve taken a cautious approach, developing different features one at a time, working through the technical challenges with commenting, before moving onto real time editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anil paints a picture of a bright future for WordPress, once this new feature set is completed, but it’s also interesting to see how many challenges the developers will need to overcome before it can be shipped in a future WordPress update.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in finding out about the future of editing content in WordPress, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful links</h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.peacefulgrowth.com/\">Peaceful Growth podcast</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://anilg.substack.com/\">Anil’s blog</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.multidots.com/\">Multidots</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.multicollab.com/\">Multicollab</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.thedotstore.com/\">DotStore</a></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 17 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nathan Wrigley\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"Do The Woo Community: Gutenberg, the Beginning to the Present with Tammie and Jonathan\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"https://dothewoo.io/?p=78854\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:52:\"https://dothewoo.io/gutenberg-present-to-beginnings/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:371:\"<p>Hosts Jonathan and Tammie reflect on their experiences with the Gutenberg project in WordPress. </p>\n<p>>> The post <a href=\"https://dothewoo.io/gutenberg-present-to-beginnings/\">Gutenberg, the Beginning to the Present with Tammie and Jonathan</a> appeared first on <a href=\"https://dothewoo.io\">Do the Woo - a WooCommerce and WordPress Builder Podcast</a> .</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 17 Jan 2024 09:23:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"BobWP\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:89:\"HeroPress: With WordPress Another Life Is Possible – Con WordPress otra vida es posible\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"https://heropress.com/?post_type=heropress-essays&p=6397\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:152:\"https://heropress.com/essays/with-wordpress-another-life-is-possible/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=with-wordpress-another-life-is-possible\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19748:\"<img width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/011624.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Pull Quote: I came for the software and stayed for the people.\" /><p><a href=\"https://heropress.com/feed/#espanol\">Este ensayo tambiĂ©n está disponible en español.</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p>December 11, 2023, Palacio Neptuno (Madrid). I am sitting, surrounded by many people, we are all looking towards a stage with a screen that reads “State of the Word 2023”. I look at the clock, it reads 16:05, and two thoughts come to my mind: the first one is “It seems that Matt is late”; the second one is caused by having seen the date that read “11 Dec”, my brain wants to remind me something… “Holy moly! It was 15 years ago today that I read my doctoral thesis in neuroscience”.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this resource of starting “in media res” has caught your attention and you have some interest in knowing how I got there.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_494ea8-e7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>My life before WordPress</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have always been a curious person and a career in biology seemed like a good candidate where I could apply that trait. During my college years I got pretty good grades that allowed me to apply for a fellowship to develop a doctoral thesis. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the years I spent on that thesis, among other things, I became an expert in the molecular mechanisms involved in programmed cell death in cerebral ischemia. You didn’t think you were going to read that combination of words in a post related to WordPress, did you? And I didn’t want to use more technical words like “apoptosis”, which is the “cool” way we scientists refer to programmed cell death.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After submitting the thesis (yes, indeed, on December 11, 2008, I like you to keep your attention) I continued researching neurodegenerative diseases in several postdocs. My trajectory was not aiming for Nobel (nor was it my intention), but I was “progressing adequately” within the “scientific career”.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what happened, Nahuai? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What went wrong to make you stop practicing as a scientist and start building websites with WordPress?</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_b4c5cc-21 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Looking for a kinder lifestyle</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What happened is that I had an unpleasant work experience in the postdoc I was doing in a research center in Italy (back in 2014).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is not as important as the reflection it forced me to make. I realized that, although I loved doing research, the researcher’s lifestyle was not aligned with how I wanted to live. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus began another investigation, one in which I intended to find a job that would allow me to have more freedom of schedule and location.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_7be7c0-c5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Finding WordPress</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can imagine that the start of that new research, which meant putting aside around 15 years of training as a neuroscientist, was not easy.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general concept was to be a freelance and work on something online. Indeed, it was very general, but it fulfilled the requirements to achieve the freedom I was looking for. Luckily, WordPress came fairly early into the equation (in the same 2014) and I immediately felt comfortable with the tool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started training myself in the CMS. I created a technology website and a travel website to apply what I was learning. I did part of this process while I was still working as a scientist and another with unemployment benefits and the support of my partner.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Years later, when I felt able to create websites for clients and I managed to shake off the “imposter syndrome”, I started to offer my services on my personal website (created with WordPress, logically). The first clients were “friends, fools and family” and then I started to get clients thanks to the articles about WordPress and photography that I wrote in my blog.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_8c1ba5-d6 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Discovering the community (“the secret ingredient” of WordPress)</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was in Italy I started following WordPress news, mainly through podcasts, and I was surprised to hear how many events were taking place in Spain. So, as soon as I returned to Spain I started attending Meetups in and around Barcelona.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was followed by several WordCamps around the peninsula and by the time I realized it I was totally in love with the community. I soon realized that it was the “secret ingredient” behind the popularity of WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking advantage of the “falling in love phase”, I started participating in the community by giving talks, volunteering and later creating a WordPress Meetup in Terrassa, the city where I live now, and where I will soon celebrate 5 years as an organizer. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>At WordCamp Barcelona 2018 I met Esther SolĂ , a web developer I was following online (because she had a fantastic blog about WordPress) and we quickly made friends. A few months later we launched the podcast <a href=\"https://freelandev.com/\">Freelandev</a>, where we have been telling for almost 5 years how we make a living as WordPress developers (and many more things). The podcast served as an incubator to launch another common project, <a href=\"https://osompress.com/\">OsomPress</a>, where we have been creating plugins and themes for WordPress for more than 3 years.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I realized my love for the Spanish WordPress community, I also wanted to get to know the international community better (part of which I read and listened to), and that’s why I went to WordCamp Europe 2019 as a volunteer. The experience was so good that since then it’s an annual appointment that I don’t miss (conditions permitting).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could go on for hours writing about the goodness of the community, but if I had to sum it up, I would say that it has given me many intangible things, but others that are tangible:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Friends (and good ones)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>A network of professionals to trust</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clients</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The creation of a podcast</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The creation of a plugin and theme development company</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aligning my work with my life purpose</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this sentiment, with personal variations, is shared by quite a few members of the WordPress community. There’s a phrase that gets repeated quite a bit, with different variations, but it goes something like “I came for the software and stayed for the people.” </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_ec1e50-72 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Towards a way of life more aligned with my principles</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I proved to myself that I could make a living as a freelance WordPress developer, I put the focus on how I could contribute to “a better world”, within my modest means, of course.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, I started to be more selective with the projects I accepted, prioritizing those that were going to have a positive impact, and on the other hand I started to create content about web sustainability.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I owe the inspiration for the latter to <a href=\"https://wordpress.tv/2019/09/22/roberto-vazquez-desarrollo-sostenible/\">a talk by Roberto Vazquez at WordCamp Pontevedra 2019</a>, in which he talked about the environmental impact of websites. Another example of the “snowball” effect that comes driven by being part of the community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of snowballs. Thanks to meeting Hannah Smith at WordCamp Europe 2019, I discovered the Green Web Foundation fellowship I got last year. Thanks to it I was able to create the limited series podcast <a href=\"https://sustainwp.com/\">Sustain WP</a>, which is all about digital sustainability and WordPress, which allowed me to interview a lot of interesting people in the community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannah was also involved in the creation of the WordPress sustainability initiative which months later became the official Sustainability Team. If you’re interested in learning more about the process and what we’re doing on the team I invite you to listen to <a href=\"https://sustainwp.com/podcast/episode-7-wordpress-sustainability-team/\">the episode where we explain it in detail</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a culmination of 2023, I was honored to be elected, along with 3 other fantastic colleagues, as a representative of the Sustainability Team. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_c911a5-a5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Disclaimer</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of articles are always difficult for me to write (I don’t do it often either). The intention is to inspire others, but I am also aware that we all start from different circumstances. In that sense, I feel privileged and can’t help but worry that the small personal “successes” I share will have the opposite effect to the one I’m looking for.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it’s an unfounded fear and I’ve managed to convey my enthusiasm for life in general and the WordPress community in particular. Hopefully it inspires you to apply it in your own way. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether I’ve achieved one thing or the other, I’ll be happy to read you in the comments. :)</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" />\n\n\n\n<p></p>\n\n\n\n<h1 id=\"espanol\" class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_5884c3-b1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\">Con WordPress otra vida es posible</h1>\n\n\n\n<p>11 de diciembre de 2023, Palacio Neptuno (Madrid). Estoy sentado, rodeado de mucha gente, todos estamos mirando hacia un escenario con una pantalla donde se lee “State of the Word 2023”. Miro el reloj, marca las 16:05, y me vienen dos pensamientos a la cabeza: el primero es “Parece que Matt llega tarde”; el segundo viene provocado por haber visto la fecha que indicaba “11 dic”, mi cerebro quiere recordarme algo… “¡Leche! Que hoy hace justo 15 años que leĂ mi tesis doctoral en neurociencia”.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Espero que este recurso de empezar “in media res” haya captado tu atenciĂłn y tengas cierto interĂ©s en saber cĂłmo he llegado hasta ahĂ.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_fea921-46 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Mi vida antes de WordPress</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Siempre he sido una persona curiosa y la carrera de biologĂa me pareciĂł una buena candidata donde poder aplicar ese rasgo. Durante los años de universidad obtuve calificaciones bastante buenas que me permitieron optar a una beca para desarrollar una tesis doctoral. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durante los años que dediquĂ© a esa tesis, entre otras cosas, me convertĂ en un experto en los mecanismos moleculares implicados en la muerte celular programada en la isquemia cerebral. ÂżA que no pensabas que ibas a leer esa combinaciĂłn de palabras en un post relacionado con WordPress, eh? Y eso que no he querido usar palabras más tĂ©cnicas como “apoptosis”, que es la forma “cool” con la que nos referimos los cientĂficos a la muerte celular programada.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>DespuĂ©s de presentar la tesis (sĂ, efectivamente, el 11 de diciembre de 2008, me gusta que mantengas la atenciĂłn) continuĂ© investigando enfermedades neurodegenerativas en varios postdocs. Mi trayectoria no apuntaba al Nobel (ni era mi intenciĂłn), pero sĂ “progresaba adecuadamente” dentro de la “carrera cientĂfica”.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entonces ÂżquĂ© pasĂł, Nahuai? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>ÂżQuĂ© se torciĂł para que dejaras de ejercer como cientĂfico y empezaras a montar webs con WordPress?</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_0ae430-d4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Buscando un modo de vida más amable</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo que ocurriĂł es que tuve una experiencia laboral desagradable en el postdoc que estaba realizando en un centro de investigaciĂłn en Italia (allá por 2014).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>El motivo no es tan importante como lo es la reflexiĂłn que me obligĂł a realizar. Me di cuenta de que, aunque me encantaba investigar, el modo de vida del investigador no estaba alineado con cĂłmo querĂa vivir. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>AsĂ empezĂł otra investigaciĂłn, una en la que pretendĂa encontrar un trabajo que me permitiera tener más libertad de horario y ubicaciĂłn.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_e0c3be-03 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Encontrando WordPress</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Te puedes imaginar que el comienzo de esa nueva investigaciĂłn, que suponĂa dejar de lado unos 15 años de formaciĂłn como neurocientĂfico, no fue fácil.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>El concepto general era hacerme freelance y trabajar en algo online. Efectivamente, era muy general, pero cumplĂa los requisitos para ganar esa libertad que buscaba. Por suerte, WordPress apareciĂł bastante pronto en la ecuaciĂłn (el mismo 2014) y en seguida me sentĂ cĂłmodo con la herramienta.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>EmpecĂ© a formarme en el CMS. CreĂ© una web de tecnologĂa y otra de viajes para aplicar lo que iba aprendiendo. Parte de este proceso lo hice mientras seguĂa trabajando como cientĂfico y otro con la prestaciĂłn de desempleo y el apoyo de mi pareja.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Años más tarde, cuando me sentĂ capaz de crear webs para clientes y conseguĂ sacudirme un poco el “sĂndrome del impostor”, empecĂ© a ofrecer mis servicios en mi web personal (creada con WordPress, lĂłgicamente). Los primeros clientes fueron “friends, fools and family” y despuĂ©s me empezaron a llegar clientes gracias a los artĂculos sobre WordPress y fotografĂa que escribĂa en mi blog.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_577274-80 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Descubriendo la comunidad (“el ingrediente secreto” de WordPress)</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuando estaba en Italia empecĂ© a seguir noticias sobre WordPress, principalmente a travĂ©s de podcasts, y me sorprendĂa escuchar la cantidad de eventos que tenĂan lugar en España. Por eso, en cuanto regresĂ© a España empecĂ© a acudir a las Meetups de Barcelona y sus alrededores.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A eso le siguieron varias WordCamps por la penĂnsula y para cuando me quise dar cuenta ya estaba totalmente enamorado de la comunidad. Pronto me di cuenta de que era el “ingrediente secreto” detrás de la popularidad de WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aprovechando la “fase de enamoramiento”, empecĂ© a participar en la comunidad dando ponencias, acudiendo como voluntario y más adelante creando la Meetup Terrassa, cuidad donde resido ahora, y donde pronto cumplirĂ© 5 años como organizador. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>En la WordCamp Barcelona de 2018 conocĂ a Esther SolĂ , una desarrolladora web que seguĂa online (porque tenĂa un fantástico blog sobre WordPress) y rápidamente hicimos migas. Pocos meses despuĂ©s lanzamos el podcast <a href=\"https://freelandev.com/\">Freelandev</a>, en el que llevamos casi 5 años contando cĂłmo nos ganamos la vida como desarrolladores WordPress (y muchas más cosas). El podcast sirviĂł de incubadora para sacar otro proyecto comĂşn, <a href=\"https://osompress.com/\">OsomPress</a>, donde creamos plugins y temas para WordPress desde hace más de 3 años.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Una vez constatado mi amor por la comunidad española de WordPress, quise conocer mejor tambiĂ©n a la comunidad internacional (parte de la cual leĂa y escuchaba), y por eso fui a la WordCamp Europe 2019 como voluntario. La experiencia fue tan buena que desde entonces es una cita anual que no me pierdo (siempre que las condiciones lo permitan).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>PodrĂa, seguir durante horas escribiendo sobre las bondades de la comunidad, pero si tuviera que resumirlo dirĂa que me ha aportado muchas cosas intangibles, pero otras que sĂ lo son:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Amigos (y de los buenos)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Una red de profesionales en los que confiar</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clientes</li>\n\n\n\n<li>La creaciĂłn de un podcast</li>\n\n\n\n<li>La creaciĂłn de un empresa de desarrollo de plugins y temas</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alinear mi trabajo con mi propĂłsito vital</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Creo que este sentimiento, con variaciones personales, lo comparten bastantes miembros de la comunidad de WordPress. Hay una frase que se repite bastante, con distintas variaciones, pero dice algo asĂ como “LleguĂ© por el software y me quedĂ© por la gente”. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_dcbc41-c7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Hacia un modo de vida más alineado con mis principios</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Una vez que me demostrĂ© a mĂ mismo que podĂa ganarme la vida como desarrollador WordPress freelance, puse el foco en cĂłmo podĂa contribuir a “un mundo mejor”, dentro de mis modestas posibilidades, claro.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Por un lado, empecĂ© a ser más selectivo con los proyectos que aceptaba, priorizando los que iban a tener un impacto positivo, y por otro empecĂ© a crear contenido sobre sostenibilidad web.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>La inspiraciĂłn de esto Ăşltimo se lo debo a <a href=\"https://wordpress.tv/2019/09/22/roberto-vazquez-desarrollo-sostenible/\">una charla de Roberto Vazquez en la WordCamp de Pontevedra 2019</a>, en la que hablĂł del impacto medioambiental de las páginas web. Otro ejemplo del efecto “bola de nieve” que viene impulsada por ser parte de la comunidad.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Y hablando de bolas de nieve. Gracias a haber conocido a Hannah Smith en la WordCamp Europe 2019, descubrĂ la beca de Green Web Foundation que obtuve el año pasado. Gracias a ella pude crear el podcast de serie limitada <a href=\"https://sustainwp.com/\">Sustain WP</a>, que trata sobre sostenibilidad digital y WordPress, el cual me permitiĂł entrevistar a un montĂłn de personas interesantes de la comunidad.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannah tambiĂ©n estuvo involucrada en la creaciĂłn de la iniciativa de sostenibilidad de WordPress que meses más tarde se convirtiĂł en el equipo oficial de sostenibilidad. Si estás interesado en conocer más sobre el proceso y lo que estamos haciendo en el equipo te invito a escuchar <a href=\"https://sustainwp.com/podcast/episode-7-wordpress-sustainability-team/\">el episodio donde lo explicamos con detalle.</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Como colofĂłn de 2023, tuve el honor de ser elegido, junto a otros 3 fantásticos compañeros, como representante del equipo de sostenibilidad. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading6397_ffe359-dd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\"><strong>Disclaimer</strong></h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Este tipo de artĂculos siempre me resultan difĂciles de escribir (tampoco lo hago a menudo). La intenciĂłn es inspirar a otras personas, pero tambiĂ©n soy consciente de que todos partimos de circunstancias distintas. En ese sentido, me siento un privilegiado y no puedo evitar preocuparme de que los pequeños “Ă©xitos” personales que comparto tengan el efecto contrario al que busco.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igual es un temor infundado y he conseguido trasmitir mi entusiasmo por la vida en general y la comunidad WordPress en particular. Ojalá te inspire para aplicarlo a tu manera. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tanto si he conseguido una cosa como otra, estarĂ© encantado de leerte en los comentarios. :)</p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/with-wordpress-another-life-is-possible/\">With WordPress Another Life Is Possible – Con WordPress otra vida es posible</a> appeared first on <a href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nahuai Badiola\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:64:\"BuddyPress: BuddyPress 12.1.1 Maintenance & Security release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"https://buddypress.org/?p=332779\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"https://buddypress.org/2024/01/buddypress-12-1-1-maintenance-security-release/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2603:\"<p><a href=\"https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.12.1.1.zip\">BuddyPress 12.1.1</a> is now available.

A web where being locked into a system is a thing of the past. This is the web I’ve always wanted to see. That’s why I announced a new initiative called <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Liberation</a> for 2024. Migrating your site to WordPress, or exporting all your content from WordPress, should be possible in one click. I want WordPress’ export format to become the lingua franca of CMSes, whether coming to WordPress or moving within WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often hear about folks across the WordPress community duplicating efforts when creating scripts and workflows to move users to WordPress. Imagine if we shared those resources instead and built community-owned plugins that anyone could use! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it should be more than plugins; workflows, tutorials, and helper scripts should be shared, too. I want this resource to have space to include moving from social networks, moving from a page builder to core blocks, switching from classic to blocks, and improving WordPress current canonical plugins for importing. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can help!</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the heart of any open source project is the community that shows up to build it. My hope is that this marks the start of a new contribution pathway, separate from core teams, that allows folks to contribute what they’ve learned and what they’ve created to help others move to WordPress. I expect this emphasis on migration will also influence future development, both in core and with recommended community or canonical plugins.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things that I think will be key to making this project a success:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A dedicated landing page on WordPress.org following a WordPress.org/and/[platform-name] format.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>A forum used for non-review user feedback and general discussion.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated Slack channel.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moderation within hours rather than days.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listed on <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress\">WordPress GitHub</a> with syncing for individual commits to SVN for history in both places.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By complementing the community’s existing efforts—the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future program</a>, the <a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/\">Learn WordPress initiative</a>, a focus on internationalization, etc.—my hope is that this will help even more people see themselves in the WordPress project, providing fresh momentum for <a href=\"https://events.wordpress.org/\">WordCamps and meetups</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s never been more crucial to champion openness on the web. Bringing focused attention to improved portability will untether users and increase their freedom like never before.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 12 Jan 2024 16:58:53

Gosh! Let it in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we don’t let the gifts in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approaching forty has felt impossibly light and heavy at the same time for me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s so cool to be typing this into something <strong>we made together</strong>. I want you to <em>really</em> think about that. Ponder the enormity of all that came before that allowed you to be here today, and I want you to get a little bit excited, in that sacred hidden part of your heart that yearns for more.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s keep doing that. And let’s make it better and share it so everyone can enjoy it. We make the world.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ve been enjoying <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2024/01/birthday-gift/\">so much all the posts coming in for the birthday gift</a>. I’m reading them as fast as I can.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, my failure mode is I share too much. I’m too generous.

If you ask those closest to me how I mess up, it’s that I over-extend myself and try to do too much.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ve never shared this publicly, but when the Bay Lights wasn’t going to make it the first time, I mortgaged my apartment and used that money to get it over the line. My personal finances were messy for years after that.

And every time you see the light or bridge or think of San Francisco, you’ll think of that sacred hidden part of your heart that yearns for more, wants to leave everything better than you found it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add some light.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the gift in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part where the sounds come in and you hear <em>it’s the remix</em>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find myself returning, again and again, to the <a href=\"https://automattic.com/creed/\">Automattic Creed</a>, especially the first line:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I will never stop learning.

I want to re-share the quote I shared on <a href=\"https://tim.blog/2023/12/29/matt-mullenweg-2/\">Tim’s podcast</a> from Will Durant: </p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Health lies in action, and so it graces youth.

You’re super excited about a new purchase, commenting on a thrilling discussion in a forum, or providing feedback to an organization. You spend your time completing forms, writing thoughtful comments, or customizing your order only to find yourself trying to “check all the boxes with a stoplight in them” before actually submitting your information.</p>\n\n<p>Everyone hates CAPTCHA puzzles, yet businesses continue to use them to filter out spam. Today, we’re going to explore the six best alternatives to CAPTCHA, all of which can protect you from spam activities without frustrating your prospects and customers. Finally, we’ll show you how <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">Akismet</a> uses machine learning to get progressively smarter about permanent spam removal.</p>\n\n\n<span id=\"more-283673\"></span>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The downsides of CAPTCHA and why alternatives are needed</h2>\n\n<p>For years, users have been patient with CAPTCHA, which was one of the first solutions that helped pave the way to spam‑free websites. It stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.” But like all solutions, there’s always room for improvement, and in today’s day and age, we need to find a better way to fight spam.</p>\n\n<p>First, CAPTCHA puzzles are problematic for those with visual impairments, requiring not only the ability to see the CAPTCHA challenge but often to decipher extremely nuanced details within the images. Tests that require the user to type a string of characters can be difficult for dyslexic individuals, and some may be unfamiliar with cultural icons or graphics in visual ones.</p>\n\n\n<p>Second, with so many technologies focused on enhancing user experience, frustrations like the inability to solve a CAPTCHA puzzle will stand out more, negatively affecting your conversion and engagement rates. Typically, CAPTCHA puzzles can take ten seconds or more to solve and interrupt your user at a critical point in their engagement journey — right before they check out, submit a comment, or request more information. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>One <a href=\"https://moz.com/blog/captchas-affect-on-conversion-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study by SEO software company, Moz</a>, found that many users abandon forms when they encounter a CAPTCHA — resulting in an overall conversion rate drop of three percent. Another <a href=\"https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/burszstein_2010_captcha.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study by Stanford</a> found that only 71 percent of users even attempt to solve a CAPTCHA before abandoning the page altogether.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that’s not enough, a CAPTCHA may incorrectly identify a real human being as a bot, blocking further interaction with a site, while allowing more sophisticated, advanced bots through. </p>\n\n\n<p>Researchers at the University of California in Irvine recently conducted <a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a study testing both humans and bots</a> on popular CAPTCHA puzzles. The study found that bots solved distorted‑text CAPTCHA tests almost perfectly in less than a second, while human beings had an accuracy rate of between 50 percent and 84 percent, spending up to 15 seconds per puzzle.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, it takes some significant computing power for CAPTCHAs to work properly, slowing down load times for web pages and adding to user frustration.</p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, efforts to improve CAPTCHA puzzles are still lacking. Audio versions were supposed to be a solid solution, but <a href=\"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5504799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">analysis</a> shows that they’re more time intensive and significantly more difficult for certain users depending on their native language. <a href=\"https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/burszstein_2010_captcha.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Another study</a> noted a 50 percent failure rate with audio options.</p>\n\n\n<p>Forcing people to complete any kind of test is simply not the best option if you want to maximize engagement and conversions. </p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to look for in bot and spam protection</h2>\n\n<p>Before jumping into the six alternatives to CAPTCHA puzzles, here are some key things you’ll want to look for when choosing your bot‑detecting solution.</p>\n\n<p>First, you’ll want to be sure that your solution can successfully block bots and spam while allowing prospects and customers easy access to your site and offerings. Unfortunately, a static software solution won’t work, as bad actors are continuously trying to up their game with more sophisticated, human‑like bots all the time. Be sure your selected alternative can stay ahead of the bot creators.</p>\n\n<p>Second, be sure your alternative is either much easier to complete, or, better yet, invisible to your prospects, customers, and visitors. Your goal is to reduce or eliminate friction to create a more positive overall user experience.</p>\n\n\n<p>Along the same lines, look for a cloud-based solution so that your page load times are unaffected by the bot-catching activities. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you must ensure that your solution complies with global and local government data privacy rules and regulations. Remember that CAPTCHA alternatives cannot protect your site alone; instead, they must be one component of an <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/features/security/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overall security program</a> to protect your site from malicious activity and threats. </p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the best alternatives to CAPTCHA?</h2>\n\n<p>Fortunately, several alternatives to CAPTCHA are available on the market today, working to block spam effectively, without negatively affecting your user experience. Here are the top six to consider:</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"733\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-283675\" />\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a href=\"https://akismet.com/\">Akismet</a></h3>\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2005, Akismet has been on a mission to rid the world of spam for nearly two decades. Its solution is different from CAPTCHA, primarily because it works completely in the background of a website and does not rely on user input to identify bot or spam attacks. As a result, it protects sites from unwanted bot activity without relying on prospects, customers, or visitors to prove they’re human.</p>\n\n<p>More than 100 million <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/convertkit-customerstory/\">customer websites</a> rely on Akismet, which has successfully removed more than 500 billion pieces of online spam from the web. Used by both WordPress sites and others, Akismet has generated one of the largest databases of spam activity in the world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition, the solution relies on advanced machine learning technology to continuously improve, staying ahead of the bad actors who are always looking for new ways to break through site protections.</p>\n\n<p>Self‑hosted spam‑fighting solutions can negatively affect the performance of the site itself, slowing down page load speeds. Akismet is a cloud‑based solution, removing the operating activity from your site while delivering the protection you desire.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. A honeypot</h3>\n\n<p>A honeypot anti‑spam trap is designed to trick harmful bots and spam generation programs into identifying themselves as spam. Like a real honeypot that attracts various people, animals, and insects, a honeypot anti‑spam trap lures bots and spam programs with something that’s not visible to human beings.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most common honeypot anti‑spam traps is to incorporate a field within the code that is not required or even seen by a human completing the real contact, order, or comment form. A bot, however, will scan that field and complete it, revealing its identity as a robot spammer.</p>\n\n<p>The honeypot then filters out and deletes that submission. While this method of spam detection can be effective for some basic bots, the honeypot anti‑spam trap can be circumvented by more sophisticated spam efforts.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Time‑based form submissions</h3>\n\n<p>Another CAPTCHA alternative is time‑based form submissions. The idea is that humans will take a certain amount of time to complete a form, submit an order, or write a comment, while bots typically submit spam responses much faster.</p>\n\n<p>Although time‑based form submissions can work in theory to weed out the most basic bots, bad actors who are set on spam attacks can easily program a bot to slow down its activity. So companies that use this method are hoping that spammers targeting their site will be too unsophisticated to slow down their bot submissions and will just move on to other targets. This is, frankly, a fairly weak form of protection.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"744\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/image-1.png\" alt=\"Google reCAPTCHA landing page\" class=\"wp-image-283677\" />\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. reCAPTCHA v3</h3>\n\n<p>reCAPTCHA v3 is a more advanced bot detection solution, helping site owners identify spam activity on their website and customize the level of protection to suit their risk tolerance.</p>\n\n\n<p>Like the other CAPTCHA alternatives, version three doesn’t rely on user interaction to make the bot or spam determination, but works in the background of a website. It uses adaptive risk analysis to alert site owners of suspicious behaviors and should be placed on multiple pages so that patterns of abusive activities are more accurate. </p>\n\n\n<p>While this sounds pretty lovely, there are a fair number of downsides to using reCAPTCHA v3. First, though it allows for more customized control by site owners, it also requires advanced setup and integration with Google’s API, which could be difficult for the average site owner.</p>\n\n<p>There’s some <a href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/90369697/googles-new-recaptcha-has-a-dark-side\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pushback around privacy</a>, as it provides Google with <em>a lot</em> of data, and it can also prevent the functioning of certain positive bots, like SEO crawlers.</p>\n\n\n<p>And while it’s good at detecting spammers, it’s known to falsely label real user interactions as spam without providing recourse for these individuals. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reimagined CAPTCHA puzzles</h3>\n\n<p>With reducing friction is the number one reason businesses want to find a CAPTCHA alternative, there have been developments in simplifying the puzzles themselves. For example, instead of presenting blurry pictures and asking users to identify some random item in each of them, organizations have added a field at the end of their form asking for the solution to a simple math problem.</p>\n\n<p>Similar solutions require checking a box to indicate that visitors are human, using a slider bar before completing the submission, or playing a short drag‑and‑drop game to continue.</p>\n\n\n<p>All of these function very much like popular CAPTCHA puzzles, but may be less frustrating for the user. Unfortunately, more sophisticated bots may be able to find ways to complete these tasks as easily or better than human beings. And any barrier, even if it’s quick to get through, will deter some positive activity. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. General web security protections</h3>\n\n<p>If you run a site, you already know the importance of site security and probably have some general protections like <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/features/security/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">firewalls</a>, <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/features/security/secure-authentication/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multifactor authentication</a>, and <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/upgrade/scan/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">malware detection</a> in place. </p>\n\n\n<p>While these can protect your site from a wide variety of cybersecurity threats and may prevent some spammy behavior in the process, they aren’t really designed to specifically address spam. </p>\n\n\n<p>It’s important for every website to find a solution for this specific problem to keep your comment sections, form submissions, and order process free from spam and bot activity.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Akismet is the best CAPTCHA alternative</h2>\n\n<p>Whether you’re a WordPress user or rely on another website platform, Akismet is the best alternative to CAPTCHA. First and foremost, its ability to work completely behind the scenes means that your website visitors are released from the task of solving time‑consuming, frustrating puzzles before completing an order, leaving a comment, or filling out a form.</p>\n\n<p>This fact alone means that you’ll improve your user experience, reduce friction in engaging with your organization, and increase conversions. All of those benefits ultimately lead to higher profits and long‑term success.</p>\n\n<p>In addition, because Akismet has been on a mission to remove spam from the web for nearly 20 years, it has amassed a significant database of spam information and taken advantage of machine learning technology to stay ahead of spam creators. This experience and massive database means that Akismet is incredibly effective at identifying spam and is continuously improving its performance.</p>\n\n<p>With 99.9% accuracy, though, it’s already at the top of the game.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, Akismet doesn’t negatively affect the performance of your website because it operates in the cloud. This means that page load times don’t decrease, even as Akismet is busy protecting your organization from bot attacks and spam.</p>\n\n<p>To learn more about how <a href=\"https://akismet.com/enterprise/\">Akismet can protect your business</a>, reach out today.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions</h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is CAPTCHA?</h3>\n\n<p>A CAPTCHA is a computer‑generated test used to differentiate humans from bots. It became a popular way to block spam attacks automatically in the early 2000s. CAPTCHA tests may include checking a box, typing a series of characters, or solving a visual puzzle before comments, forms, or orders are submitted.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is there a need to find alternatives to CAPTCHA?</h3>\n\n<p>CAPTCHA tasks can be extremely frustrating to users, especially when they’re difficult to solve or incorrectly identify a human as a bot. They create a poor user experience, reduce conversions, and can leave a negative brand impression. They also limit engagement with visually impaired visitors.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it possible to stop spam without CAPTCHA?</h3>\n\n<p>Yes, fortunately, there are alternatives to fight spam effectively without using CAPTCHA puzzles. The most effective is <a href=\"https://akismet.com/pricing/\">Akismet</a>, which not only successfully removes and blocks spam from websites, but continuously improves its performance through machine learning.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Akismet?</h3>\n\n<p>Akismet is a cloud‑based, spam‑fighting solution that works completely in the background to rid your site of malicious activity. It requires no interaction from your users, which means no added friction in your user experience. Akismet has successfully removed more than 500 billion pieces of spam from the web.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Akismet the best alternative to CAPTCHA?</h3>\n\n<p>Akismet is the best alternative to CAPTCHA because it successfully blocks spam by working behind the scenes, freeing your visitors from frustrating puzzles. With nearly two decades of experience, Akismet has one of the largest spam databases available and continues to improve its detection capabilities through machine learning technology.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:16:59 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"Jen Swisher\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:21;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:97:\"WPTavern: #105 – Pascal Birchler on Revolutionizing Image and Video Processing Within WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"https://wptavern.com/?post_type=podcast&p=152160\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:111:\"https://wptavern.com/podcast/105-pascal-birchler-on-revolutionizing-image-and-video-processing-within-wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45214:\"Transcript<div>\n<p>[00:00:00] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Welcome to the Jukebox podcast from WP Tavern. My name is Nathan Wrigley.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jukebox is a podcast which is dedicated to all things WordPress. The people, the events, the plugins, the blocks, the themes, and in this case, new ways to interact with your media within WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’d like to subscribe to the podcast, you can do that by searching for WP Tavern in your podcast player of choice, or by going to WPTavern.com forward slash feed forward slash podcast, and you can copy that URL into most podcast players.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a topic that you’d like us to feature on the podcast, I’m keen to hear from you and hopefully get you, or your idea, featured on the show. Head to WPTavern.com forward slash contact forward slash jukebox, and use the form there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on the podcast today, we have Pascal Birchler. Pascal is a longstanding WordPress community member, and Core committer, with a focus on internationalization, WP-CLI, and performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He’s been working on a project for the past six months to enhance the media capabilities of the WordPress block editor. His work includes client side image optimization, image compression, video enhancements, and speech to text features such as subtitle generation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever seen, you upload media into the block editor and it’s manipulated right there inside the editor, by the browser, not by some remote server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all achieved by harnessing the power of WebAssembly, and we discover what Pascal has managed to achieve thus far, and how he thinks that there’s going to be so much more to come.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We talk about how you can change images from legacy formats, like JPEG and GIF, into other, more modern formats, such as WebP and AVIF. Pascal explains how this is actually achieved, and why the new format so desirable. It’s all about reducing file sizes, server resource consumption, and the speed boost your site will gain as a result.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also get into the conversion of animated GIFs into videos, and creating videos with transcripts on the fly. And remember, this is all done in the block editor, with the browser itself as the workhorse.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal seems to be onto something here, and it’s really compelling listening to him argue that something like his plugin might be worthy of inclusion into WordPress Core at some point.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained some other projects, which he’s been working on inspired by the high volume of feedback he received after releasing his plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in pushing the boundaries of user experience, performance optimization, and compliance with evolving web standards this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to WPTavern.com forward slash podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well. And so without further delay, I bring you Pascal Birchler.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am joined on the podcast today by Pascal Birchler. Hello, Pascal.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:42] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Hello. Hi there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:43] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Very, very nice to have you with us. We’re going to talk today, well, I think it’s broadly, we’re going to be talking about images. But there’s an awful lot of different technologies that Pascal has been working on over the, well, I don’t know how long. But I’ve only recently caught sight of the projects that you’ve been working on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal, just before we begin that, would you just tell us a little bit about yourself? Perhaps what your day job is, what your relationship is with WordPress, and so on. Just a little bio time really.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:10] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Sure, yeah. So my name is Pascal, and I’ve been a WordPress community member for, I don’t know, 15 years now or so. So I’ve been doing a lot of contributions around internationalisation, so like anything multilingual. But recently also performance, and day-to-day, that’s really what I’m focusing on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I started as a WordPress contributor. Then I joined Google, as part of a team that is trying to make the web faster, that includes making WordPress faster.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:36] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, the performance team have been doing great work over the last, well, I’m going to say about 18 months it feels like they’ve been in existence. But WordPress itself has been made significantly quicker, over the various iterations of the project recently.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I know that the browsers themselves have become better at doing an awful lot of things. And so I think what we’re going to talk about today will probably involve conversations around what the browsers can handle, and things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it’s very rare, Pascal, that I watch something online to do with WordPress, or technology, and I am actually having to lift my jaw away from the floor. But a little video that Pascal posted onto Twitter, not that long ago, maybe 10 days ago or something like that, really did make my jaw hit the floor. Because you were showing things that you’ve been working on that I had never seen before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just that, I had no intuition that it was even possible. It’s going to make your WordPress life much better in the future, let’s hope.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to tell us a little bit about the project that you’ve been working on? And then we’ll get into the weeds of all of the different things that it can do, and yeah, just tell us how long you’ve been working on it, and what it really does.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:42] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Sure. Absolutely. First of all, that’s exactly the reaction that I hoped to get from people, as I’ve been working on this project, or these media experiments, how I would like to call them, for maybe half a year or so. Like I occasionally started working on it and didn’t stop, and start again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s basically a collection of things that enhance the media capabilities of WordPress, or specifically the block editor. Most of the things are around like client side image optimisation, image compression. But also anything related to videos or speech to text, like subtitle generation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So you just swept it to one side, really, how impressive it is. But the key component there, that was so amazing to me, was the fact that it’s all done client side. So perhaps, dear listener, the best thing to do would be to pause this episode, go and search for it over on WP Tavern, and watch from the links, the two little Twitter videos that Pascal put together, and you’ll be in a much better position.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what you’re going to see is truly remarkable. So it’s block editor based, so you’re in the Gutenberg editor. I don’t know if it’ll work in any other scenario of WordPress, with page builders or what have you. But that’s the paradigm that we’re talking about.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Pascal is sitting there, and he decides that he wants to have an image which is currently a jpeg, and he doesn’t want it to be a jpeg. He wants to reduce the size of it, so that it consumes less resources on the server, but also can be served up to the end user. He wants to pass Core Web Vitals, because he’s a good Googler.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so he throws it into Gutenberg, and Gutenberg seemingly converts it. Now I’m obviously doing it injustice. Please tell me what’s happening, because I haven’t the faintest idea how you’ve achieved this. So you put an image directly onto the Gutenberg canvas, and it’s no longer a jpeg. It’s been converted in some way, in the background, disconnected from the internet. This could be on a computer, completely disconnected from the internet. So it’s happening in the browser. How is it happening?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:40] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> So first of all, browsers are extremely capable of doing image compression, or even image conversion. But they’re also a little bit limited in like to what extent they can do that. So to overcome those limits, I’m using a technology called WebAssembly. Which allows basically like regular software that you would otherwise install on a computer, and bring that to the browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in this case, this is an image processing library that I’m using. For example, I’m using the VIPS, or libvips image library. And using WebAssembly I can do all sorts of image rotation, thumbnail generation, directly in the browser. And then from there I will upload it to WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So is this, therefore a plugin, that you have pre-installed into the version of WordPress that you were using for the demo there. So this is a plugin that you’ve built, you’ve installed it, and I don’t if there are any settings in there. But even if you just activate it, as soon as you begin throwing images, there is the option to convert them to different formats, right out of the box. You don’t have to do anything else.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:42] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Correct. It’s a plugin that I started. It works without any additional configuration, but of course, if you prefer not changing the image format, but just want to compress images. Or if you prefer, let’s say WebP or AVIF over jpeg, you can say so as well. And there are a few more settings that I added, but mostly for like testing and like, trying different things out.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:09:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. I mean, it’s a first run at this project, so maybe we’ll see some things in the future. We’re recording this at the end of 2023, so it’s still really hot off the press.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just to digress a little bit, and move away from the technology. Why have you done this? What is the purpose of it? Now I’m guessing that there’s maybe some sort of environmental impact here. There’s the cost of storage, and all of those kind of things. What’s the point? Why would you even want to convert images from one format to another? After all, it looks the same, broadly, once you’re viewing it. What’s the purpose?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:09:36] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Doing this has many advantages. So one is that if you want to do this, but you’re limited in server resources, now this allows anyone to use this technology and compress their images. And compressing images, or using a different file format, as you say, has like good impact on file size. Which means less bandwidth used, has a nice side effect of like images loading faster on your website, which is great for passing all these Core Web Vitals.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it’s also a user experience benefit. Your visitors will see the images faster. And I think that’s the nice thing about this project, is that it has some performance aspects, but in the end it’s a lot about user experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:10:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So the modern versions of image formats, it may be that some of the listeners aren’t really familiar with those. I’m pretty sure that if you’ve been on the internet for any length of time, you’re familiar with jpegs, and pngs, and GIFs, or GIFs, however you wish to pronounce it. But you’re trying, well, in the video at least, you are converting them into an image format, which maybe people haven’t heard of before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s called AVIF, but also I think you mentioned WebP as well. I know it’s maybe not in your wheelhouse directly, but can you just give us an idea of what’s going on there? What kind of reduction could we have? Let’s say if we took a, I don’t know, a two megabyte jpeg and pushed it through to be an AVIF. Roughly speaking, and I know it’s dependent upon what is in the image, but broadly speaking, what kind of benefits can you get in terms of percentages that are cut away?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:04] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Oh, that’s a great question. I think in my test video, I saw a reduction of like maybe 40% or so in file size.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:11] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Good grief. Right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:12] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> And there was like no noticeable differences to the eye. But there are like quality settings that you can change. Depending on the level of quality that you like for your use case, you can get it even further down.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:24] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So really significant amounts of data. You know, if your website is image heavy, then doing this, and there’s no noticeable loss to the viewer. Perhaps there is some sort of degradation, if you were to expand it, and you were a professional photographer, who knows? But something in the region of a 40% decrease.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know if, at this point, so again we’re in December 2023. Is it possible for all browsers to be able to show these images back to us? So it’d be fabulous to be able to use AVIFs, but then obviously if a significant proportion of the internet out there can’t actually see them, because their browsers don’t support that, that would be troublesome. So do you have any inclination as to what the compatibility is with browsers, displaying WebPs and AVIFs?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:08] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> I think last I checked, WebP is supported by all browsers. So that includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and so on. And AVIF is not currently supported by default in Edge. All the other browsers support it. And in Edge, it needs to be enabled with a flag.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:25] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Oh, so there is support, it just merely isn’t enabled. So if you’re an Edge user, you can make it available.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So really there’s no reason not to do this if pretty much every browser is able to support this, why wouldn’t you do this? And I guess the beauty of your system that you’ve built, is that there’s no, there’s literally no thing to do. You just put the image onto the page, or the post, or whatever it may be, in the same way that you would always do, and it just happens on the fly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a little bit of a wait there? So let’s say, again, my image of two megabytes, something like that, jpeg uploaded. Is this happening more or less instantly in a typical modern computer, or do I have to sit there and twiddle my thumbs for a little while, as I might have done in the past if I was using a server side technology to do this?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:13] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> It’s pretty much instantly, but only because you don’t see what’s going on in the background. So when you drop the image in the editor, you can already see it, you can already, you know, add some gradients in the block editor, or continue writing your post. And in the background, the image is compressed, and all the thumbnails are being generated, and finally uploaded to WordPress. But you can already continue editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So really you can just carry on with your day, keep editing as normal, and in the background this will happen.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what’s the flow in terms of where this is getting saved? So, again, we’ll use my example, I’m using a jpeg. Will the jpeg be saved in the media library, ultimately, as well? Or will just the converted image get kept? Because I know that a lot of the other server side solutions, some commercial solutions and what have you, which compress images, they have loads of options and many of them are, for example, keep the original. We’ll convert it for you, we’ll compress it for you, but we’ll also keep the original. And it may not be that that’s what your plugin does. So how does it handle the original? Where does it put that?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:15] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Right now it keeps uploading the original to WordPress, in case you want to restore that or use that for, I don’t know, downloads or something. But this can be made optional, because everyone has different needs. For example, photographers prefer to have the full size images available, just in case, maybe for their clients. But this can be turned off if you prefer to save resources.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:37] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay. So that, I guess, brings me to the next question. What are the settings that you have at the moment? So, you’ve mentioned that you know, you can keep the original, or delete the original, or what have you. Are you able to specify, okay, every time I upload a jpeg, turn it into an AVIF, every time I upload a WebP, turn it into an AVIF? Are there different settings in the backend there that I can configure, so that it just meets my exact requirements?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:58] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> You pretty much nailed it. Right now the setting is limited, like you can choose your preferred format, and it uses that. But the next step is to provide a setting per file type, so that you can really specify what you want to be for every type of file that you upload.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The settings are really fine grained in that regard. I hope them to be fine grained. There are also more settings, for example, for thumbnail generation. You can choose whether the thumbnail should be generated on the server, or in the browser as well, which is the default.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third option is to have the client side thumbnail generation, but make it smarter. So for example, if you have a photo of a person somewhere, right now WordPress just crops like these 150 by 150 thumbnails from the center of the image. But with the smart option, it will focus on the person’s face to be in the center, just so much more useful.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:50] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Wait, it makes a decision about what to crop, based upon the content of the picture. So it’s intelligent enough to know that there’s an object over here which is of significance, crop around that. That’s great.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>How would that work for other things? This is going to go off in a strange direction. Let’s say I had a, I don’t know, a cat or something like that in the picture, but there was nothing else. There was just this singular cat, and it was top right. Is it able to intuit that there’s an object in this picture which needs focus?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:16] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Yeah, so the image library that I’m using tries to detect the most prominent object in a photo. So there could be an animal, or something else. Of course it’s not perfect when it’s, I don’t know, a photo of like a group of people or something, but it’s better than nothing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:30] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it has to make a decision about which person is more important in that picture. But again, just to emphasise, if you’re listening to this, we’re not talking about this data leaving your computer, getting crunched on somebody else’s machine, and then being sent back. This is all happening inside the browser, right before your eyes, or not before your eyes. It’s really just happening, and the result comes out before your eyes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not know the answer to this, I hope that you do. But, why do browsers have all of this technology baked into them? What’s the reason for that? I mean, I could guess what some of the reasons would be, but I’m interested to know if you’ve got more concrete data on that. Why would a browser ship with all of these image conversion, formatting options, all the other things you’ve described?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:14] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Well, as I said, the browser does have some image formatting or conversion options, but they’re limited. That’s why I’m able to use external libraries, through Web Assembly. And the reason that Web Assembly is a thing is it just, it makes the web so much more powerful. It allows things like Photoshop to run on the web, which previously wasn’t possible. I think for the web to still matter in years to come, browsers and websites and web technologies need to evolve, support use cases like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:41] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I have this intuition, I could be wrong. But I have this intuition that in a decade from now, more and more of the things that I’m still holding out on my computer at home, will have gone over to the browser. And it feels like video and images are still in the domain of the desktop computer often, just because of, well, the amount of data that has to fly around for a start.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also, if you’ve got an hour long video and you’re trying to edit little bits, it does seem that online solutions don’t quite make the grade yet boy, it’s changing quickly. And if we stare into our crystal ball, a year into the future, two years, five years, I feel that a lot of this will have been taken over by online tools.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we talked about the fact that you can upload an image, but it goes a lot further than that, because you can take a bunch of images. Now I don’t know how much you’ve battle tested this, whether or not you’ve put in 500, 1,000, 10,000 images. But in the example you used, I think you put three images in, and it did the same thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you were a photographer, or you had a post that was heavy with images, this can all be done. You don’t have to do one at a time, wait for it to happen. It’ll just put them all into a queue, I’m guessing, and tackle them one at a time.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:18:43] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> That’s exactly right. Yeah, I have this sort of queuing system that I built. It can do multiple images at a time, or only one. That depends on a lot of factors. For example, like how many CPU cores that you have on your machine.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is that everything happens in the background in so-called Web Workers. And these are separate threads from the main website, which means even if you throw more than one image at it, it will be separate from the main thread, so you’re not blocked from writing any more content. I don’t have 10,000 images on my computer to test it with, but maybe I should.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:19:15] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> But it will cue them, and so we’re expecting it to work in the normal way. But certainly for a normal amount of images, it’s going to handle it correctly. Let’s say though, that I did throw 100 images at it, which is going to consume a little bit of time. I’m imagining, you know, there would be some human noticeable amount of time for that to happen.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then I was to stray away from that post. Close it down, for example, or go to a different screen inside a WordPress. Does the browser continue that operation? What is the connection? How is it bound? Does the post need to be open for all of this to happen? And also, what about just failure? If something fails to happen, do we get a notification to say, whoops, it didn’t do what it was anticipating to do?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:19:55] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> So yes, you definitely need to stay in the editor while the upload is in progress. There will be a warning if you try to navigate away. Of course, if this were like a single page application, where you’re not actually like changing origins, going to another website that could continue to upload. But for the upload to finish, you need to stay in the editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an upload errors, there will be notifications of course. Thanks to this queuing system, it’s even possible to change your mind and cancel uploads, if you prefer. For example, if you notice, oh dang, I uploaded wrong image. You don’t have to wait for the upload to finish to fix that mistake, so you can just cancel it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:20:29] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, that’s great. Now, it’s not just images though, it will handle a whole load of other things. And there’s a couple that you demonstrate. The first one is something which is, obviously something that irritates you a little bit. Animated GIFs or GIFs, however you wish to pronounce them. You’d rather that they were made into videos, and so it will do that as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were to throw an animated GIF into it, it will recycle that as an actual image, with a play and stop button, so that you’ve got some agency about what’s actually happening on the screen there. Again, so that’s presumably just for GIFs. I can’t think of any other image format off the top of my head, which has that animation possibility. But that will create a video of the same dimensions or, what’s it doing there?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:21:11] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> So yeah, animated GIFs or GIFs are painful. WebP also supports animation, but it’s not that common. But for animated GIFs, they’re really bad for, not just performance, but also user experience, because you can’t stop them. They just autoplay, they’re super heavy in file size usually. And if you, for example, prefer reduced motion, which is like a setting in most operating systems and browsers. A GIF won’t stop. But a video can be stopped, but it can also be preloaded, can have a poster image. So it’s just way better from a user experience.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the plugin converts GIF or GIF to a video with the same size. Creates a poster image as well. So if the video is stopped, or still being loaded, you will see a preview image as well. You can have either the controls to play, pause, or it just loops and autoplays, like a GIF. You don’t see the difference.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:21:59] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> It’s what we need. Agency over animated GIFs, that’s for sure. And it just all happens seamlessly. But again, another jaw off the floor moment was when I saw that you were creating video content inside the post editor. So, you know, imagine, dear listener, that you are in a post, you’ve clicked add new post, and there you are.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoot video from the webcam, or I’m guessing any camera that might be attached to the machine. Shoot it, save it into the media library inside the post. As if that wasn’t enough, also transcribe it in real time. Now, I don’t know if that transcription gets burned onto the video, or if it’s just something that’s happening as you are watching it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that’s truly remarkable as well. And it leads me to all sorts of thoughts about being able to, I don’t know, communicate with other people, with synchronous video, a bit like we have with Zoom, or something like that, inside of a post. I’m not entirely sure why you would wish to do that, but those kind of possibilities becoming available. How did you do that? How does that work?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:05] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> You bring something interesting up, because there’s like this collaboration feature being worked on in the block editor. So just imagine having a video call, and maybe saving that video afterwards, who knows?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for this particular feature I’m again, using the powers of Web Assembly to use the FFmpeg video library in the browser. So FFmpeg is a really powerful tool set. It can do video conversion, all sort of things. And I use that in a browser to basically record the video, or take the recorded video and convert it to like a MP4, whatever is a good format for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the subtitles, I’m using a different solution, which is based on an open source machine learning models, that do transcription, like speech to text. And that generates a vtt captions file. Similar to srt, it’s a separate file, it’s not burned into the video. And you can use other tools to then edit the captions, or you could even build a caption editor directly in WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:24:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Most video solutions allow you to upload and combine the two, don’t they? So it’s got timestamping in, so it knows when a particular word is about to appear on the screen. And so it can handle all of that. But it creates that file on the fly. So it not only creates the video file, stores that into the media library, but if you have the option set for the vtt file, it will also save that. And presumably, because of the time that they were saved, there’s a very high probability they’ll end up right next to each other in the media library. So you could associate the two.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is truly impressive. I can only imagine what could be possible with that. Because all you are doing is showing that it can be done, and it can be saved right there. But yeah, I kind of feel that once that gets out into the wild, other developers will have intuitions as to what to do with that, aside from you, and may well wish to do something.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you’re right, you know, can you imagine a scenario where, I don’t know, a graphic designer wants to talk to another graphic designer about a particular post, or a particular page that they’re working on and, well, let’s just hop in, and actually work on it together whilst we’re in the page. We don’t need another third party solution. I don’t know, maybe that’s a bit extreme. But absolutely fascinating how you’ve managed to pull all of this off.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You mentioned the libraries that you were using there to do the video transcoding. Again, is all of that bundled in with the plugin, or is any of this going out of our computer, out of our browser somewhere, and getting converted, and then being sent back? Or is it all happening on our machine?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:27] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> It’s all happening on your machine. I know it’s sometimes crazy to believe, but yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:32] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> I mean, really, truly crazy. One thing that you own that I don’t own is you have an iPhone, which it turns out also has an unusual, well not unusual because there’s a lot of iPhones out there. But it’s not a web friendly image format. I didn’t even know what it was called until you showed it on the screen, it’s HEIC or HEIF. And it’s simply for Apple devices.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I’m guessing if you’ve got a Mac or an iPhone, it will show it just fine. But if you’re trying to upload that to the media library, you’re going to have a problem. So conversion has to happen there. And you’ve got a nice, another nice little option there. If you throw that in, that will also get converted, again to your preferred one. So it could be, I don’t know, AVIF or WebP, whatever you’d like.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:13] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Yeah. So it’s a super annoying format to use on the web. Right now, it will convert to WebP or AVIF, whatever you have set. The file format itself also supports like multiple frames, because on iPhone, you have this feature called live photos, where the photo is sort of like a video. So you could technically even convert this image to a video when you upload it. So you have this live photo effect also on the web.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:26:36] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> But it’ll do all of that out of the box. So all of that is absolutely fascinating, and we’ll get to something else that you showed in a slightly different video in a moment. The purpose of this, obviously, you’re scratching your own itch, you’ve done something which will definitely be helpful in the future. It does strike me that a lot of this is definitely within the scope of being put into core.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I know that an awful lot of stuff comes through the news outlets each and every week about amazing WordPress products, and some of it clearly is really out of the scope of core. But do you have an intuition that some of this really could be baked into core, would be useful in core? Is that something you are going to be trying to push for in 2024?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:27:19] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Well based on the reactions of people to the demos I’ve shared, there’s definitely interest. Seems to be useful for many people. Be that the HEIC conversion or the thumbnail generation. So I definitely see potential for this to be in core, and it’s something that I want to strive for in the next year. But it will be definitely limited in scope. Like, you won’t see fancy video recording or something in core, I would say. So I would want to start small, focus on like an M.V.P. solution, and bring that into core and then we can go from there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:27:51] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. That’ll be an interesting thing to see. One last thing, just before we move on to your upload an image with your friend idea. Another thing which you do is, and this is curious because we had a chat about this before we clicked record. If you upload an image and that image is going to take a few moments, an opaque, hazy version of the image is shown. And it almost looks like you’re squinting your eye or something, you know, it’s gone a little bit blurred.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the technical side of how you’ve done that is really interesting, because I was anticipating it was just another image, but it’s not, there’s some really interesting work going in the background there, and gradients and CSS. Just explain what’s going on whilst we have the image load. You show us something, which kind of looks like a faded out version of the image. What’s happening?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:28:33] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> So the itch that I wanted to scratch there, is that the experience when you have to wait for images to load is really not great. Let’s say if you’re on a 3G connection on a train, or something. So what I wanted to do is have like a blurred version of the image showing. So as soon as you open the page you immediately see something. You know, oh, there’s an image that might be loaded here, and it looks interesting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what I’m using for that is a technology, or an algorithm called BlurHash, which generates these blurry placeholders. And usually to display that placeholder on the website, you would need JavaScript. But I’m converting this blurriness to simple CSS gradients instead. So that when you load the page, you’re not seeing another image while the main image is loaded, it’s just all CSS gradients.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:18] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So no JavaScript in sight, it’s just CSS, which obviously has its benefits. So upon successful completion of that image, what are you doing with the CSS that you’ve created there? Where is that data going when it’s no longer needed? Do you just expunge it and get rid of it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:33] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Well, you will still need it for like the next page load, right? So it’s always there, it’s always in the database. And it’s super small, like even for a larger image. The amount of gradients is not that big, so it doesn’t really impact performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:47] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah it’s a really nice experience, because it just gives you, well, you’ve all been there where an image hasn’t even begun to load, and you get all this cumulative layout shift where things are being pushed around, and buttons go further down and everything moves. It kind of gets rid of that, because right away you get this block, which is going to be the same size and shape as the image, which will eventually load.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think in most cases these days, certainly in the part of the world where I live, we’re really not faced with those problems too much these days. But as you said, if you’re in a place where there’s a slower network or a, let’s say a 3G network or something like that, then having that as an option is great. So yeah, fascinating solution to that problem, I really like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I think you probably got a little bit of interest, and I don’t know if the second Twitter video came along after the first one that I saw. So we’ve just discussed what I believe is probably the first one, and we’ll discuss the second one. And I’m hoping, Pascal, in the days and weeks to come, we’ve got Christmas in the way, I realise that. But in the days and weeks to come we’re going to see many more such videos.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ve got this really interesting idea of being able to upload images into a post, with a link, or a QR code, which I guess is a link of a different kind. But you could send it to a friend, who could then upload an image into a post, without being logged into the WordPress website. Where did that need arise? What was the scenario that you were thinking, okay, I need people to upload images into my posts, which they don’t have access to edit, and so on? What’s going on there? It’s fascinating.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:13] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> I have to admit, I did not come up with this idea actually. So after I published the first demo on Twitter, John Blackburn, I actually opened an issue on GitHub and he was like, hey, you know, on apps like eBay or online banking apps, for example. There’s the option to upload your receipts or something from your phone. So why not make that possible in WordPress? And I was like, oh, that’s interesting. So I built it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s really cool because, I think the scenario is, you’re editing a blog post, you want to add this nice picture and you realise, oh, it’s on the phone. Maybe it’s on your friend’s phone, or like colleague’s phone. So you can scan the QR code, or send the link for that code to someone else. And then they’re able to upload the image to WordPress. And after that is done, and you’re still in the editor, so once they’re done uploading the image, you’ll immediately see the image in your editor, you can continue editing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:32:04] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So you wouldn’t need to refresh that post and come back to it, it would just appear. So let’s say, for example, that I send you that link, and I’ve got my post, it’s half completed, but I just know that I need that image to finish it off. And I know that you, Pascal, have got your hands on it. I could send you the link. You click on the link, select the image in question, and there it is, right inside my post, immediately without a need for a refresh or anything.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s so great. That’s just such a curious thing. But now I get the point, and I guess the idea of being able to send it to somebody else is quite interesting. But the idea, certainly for me, you are right, there’s a lot which is held on my phone, there’s a lot which is held on other computers. I have a detachable hard disc over there, and quite often the computer that it’s attached to is, you know, in no way connected to this one. So being able to send myself another link over there, that’s really curious.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels to me, Pascal, as if you are just getting your feet wet here. You’ve just got yourself all excited about images and what you can do with them inside of WordPress. So that’s the next question. Do you have any intuition as to what’s coming next? What fun projects you might work on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:33:09] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Well, you know, just talking about this with you, gives me a lot of ideas. And sharing these demos with people also sparks ideas in them. And you mentioned that holidays are coming up, so maybe, I don’t know, over the holidays I’ll build something new. We’ll see.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:33:22] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Well, I would very much like to see the outcome of your endeavors. Yeah, I’ve definitely got a few ideas of what I would like. For example, being able to record a podcast directly inside the editor. I know that, obviously, video and audio are very similar, it may well already be possible with everything that you’ve done.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the ability to do things like that inside the post editor, and not have to save it elsewhere, would be kind of interesting. You know, what we’re doing right now, we’re using a third party SaaS app to record this. I can’t see any reason why all of this couldn’t potentially happen inside the block editor as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, exciting times. And Pascal, I do thank you for piquing my curiosity. It really was quite a moment when I saw that video.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anybody wants to contact you, if anybody has been intrigued by what you’ve said, and they want to reach out, where are the best places? We know that you’re on Twitter, but tell us what your handle is, and where else we can find you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:34:10] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> So my Twitter handle, or WordPress.org, everywhere else is swissspidy with three S’s in the middle. That’s the best place to reach me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:34:19] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Alright. Well, thank you so much. And Pascal, I really appreciate you coming on the podcast and chatting to us today. Thank you so much.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:34:25] <strong>Pascal Birchler:</strong> Thanks for having me.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://twitter.com/swissspidy/\">Pascal Birchler</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal is a long-standing WordPress community member and Core committer, with a focus on internationalisation, WP-CLI, and performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He’s been working on a project for the past six months to enhance the media capabilities of the WordPress block editor. His work includes client-side image optimisation, image compression, video enhancements, and speech-to-text features, such as subtitle generation. It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever seen. You upload media into the block editor, and it’s manipulated right there, inside the editor, by the browser, not by some remote server.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all achieved by harnessing the power of WebAssembly, and we discover what Pascal has managed to achieve thus far, and how he thinks that there’s going to be so much more to come.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We talk about how you can change images from legacy formats like jpg and gif, into other, more modern formats such as WebP and Avif. Pascal explains how this is actually achieved, and why the new formats are desirable. It’s all about reducing file sizes, server resource consumption, and the speed boost your site will gain as a result.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also get into the conversion of animated Gifs into videos, and creating videos with transcripts on-the-fly, and remember, this is all done in the block editor with the browser itself as the workhorse.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal seems to be onto something here, and it’s really compelling listening to him argue that something like his plugin might be worthy of inclusion into WordPress Core at some point.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explains some other projects which he’s been working on, inspired by the high volume of feedback he received after releasing his plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in pushing the boundaries of user experience, performance optimisation, and compliance with evolving web standards, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful links</h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/swissspidy/status/1733138082591912154\">Pascal’s Twitter video #1</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/swissspidy/status/1735019049686368342\">Pascal’s Twitter video #2</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://webassembly.org/\">WebAssembly website</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://github.com/libvips/libvips\">libvips on GitHub</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://ffmpeg.org/\">FFmpeg website</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://blurha.sh/\">BlurHash website</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/swissspidy/\">Pascal’s Twitter</a></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nathan Wrigley\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:22;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Matt: Sonos Tip\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:23:\"https://ma.tt/?p=110280\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"https://ma.tt/2024/01/sonos-tip/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1204:\"<p>If you’re obsessed with <a href=\"https://www.sonos.com/\">Sonos</a> like I am, a nice MacOS utility is the <a href=\"https://mbc-for-sonos.app/\">Menu Bar Controller</a>. <cite>Hat tip to <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/miketatum/\">Mike Tatum</a></cite>, who happened to be the gentleman who convinced my parents it was okay for me to drop out of college and move to San Francisco to take a job at <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET\">CNET</a>.

I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:28] (Intro music) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:40] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Hello, my dears, and welcome to 2024. I hope you’ve had a lovely break. At the top of the year, I like to look around and gather the projects that the community is interested in. We can’t always commit to everything, and sometimes even the things we plan to do can’t make it across the finish line. In the next few weeks, I’ll be publishing kind of the big picture goals for the year, but I wanted to share a little bit about what I’ve collected so far.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:05] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Firstly, we’ve got Phase 3. This has been called a few things over the years: collaborative editing, multiplayer, co-editing. But whatever it’s been called, the biggest changes to writing and design workflows are likely to happen in this phase. A redesigned workflow can be a bit of a shock. But fortunately, we already have a prototype out there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ll include a link to some resources in the show notes, or of course, you can always stop by make.WordPress.org/core for some insights. But I would encourage you to, at the very least, get your hands on that prototype to see what it looks like is coming in Phase 3 so that you can be aware and provide your feedback.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing on our list is Data Liberation. This is a new-to-us project that was introduced at State of the Word. Fortunately, though, it’s not a new concept overall. Data Liberation is actually one of the earliest ideas that sold me on WordPress. The idea that you could set up a site for a client, or yourself, and that hard work wasn’t lost if something went wrong, was really important to me. It’s been a long time since we put any effort into our importers and exporters, and I think this will be a good focus for the year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:02:14] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The next thing that I’ve picked up, kind of a list of three things, but there are three mid-sized areas that I want us to pay attention to this year: plugins, old tickets, and new meetups. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugins, because they really have turned a corner on where they ended 2023. A lot of work has been done to make sure that they’ve streamlined some efforts, gotten some better onboarding for folks as they’re going in, and we could really use a hand to keep that momentum going.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old tickets, because it’s something that we hope for year after year when we’re talking to people about what they want in new releases. So often, part of what they say is some way to work through all of these old things that have been around forever, some with patches. And why not, after all?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then new meetups, because I really still think that meetups are the best intro to WordPress. No matter whether you’re wanting to become a developer eventually or, like, the community-building aspect is the thing that hooks you forever. Meetups are the place to encourage those and discover those. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:20] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The next thing on my list is also two things. It’s two things, but kind of a guess at the moment. There are two summit items that I want us to try to consider this year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the first one is contributor recognition. Acknowledgment and recognition, I think, are two different things, and there was an entire series of sessions at the summit where we talked about it. And so I think that it’s worth us digging in on that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing from the summit that I would really like us to all kind of dig in on is accessibility, how we do it, how we confirm it, what we think we should do versus what we actually do, and see what we can move on the needle there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the last thing is sort of a personal wish. I think it’s about time that we take a look at the way that we kind of manage ourselves as a project, the way that we do our meetings and report on our successes, things like that. And I realize that this is a big thing, and it might be a little bit scary. But, I mean, we’ve been doing this for a really long time, and it’s probably as good a time as any, frankly, to look at what we’re doing by habit or tradition and see if it still suits us.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that’s my back of the napkin set of notes so far. Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks for the annual Big Picture post so you can get some context, notes, and discussion opportunities. And, of course, anything that has shown up that’s a bit bigger, a bit more final will be in there as well. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, our small list of big things. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:52] (Music interlude) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:00] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Firstly, State of the Word had nearly 200 questions submitted, and Matt has been answering the overflow on make.WordPress.org/project. So, I’ll include a link, but head on over there to that post if you would like to catch up on those.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then the second item, and last item, is that you’ve got a few more days left to give us feedback on WordPress meetups in 2023, and give us an idea of what we can do to improve those. I believe those close on January 14th. I really love my local meetup, and I hope that we can get some of that same sort of feeling going in all of yours, too.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:33] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And that, my friends, is your small list of big things.

I hope you all had a great time off during the holidays and a great start to the year 2024. I like the year 2024. 2023 wasn’t so good, but 2024 was good. In today’s episode, we will talk about State of the Word, Gutenberg 17.2, 3 and 4, and we take a sneak peek at the 6.5 WordPress roadmap, and we also discuss steps on migrating from a classic theme to a block theme. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m your host, Birgit Pauli-Haack, curator at the Gutenberg Times and a full-time core contributor for WordPress open source project sponsored by Automattic’s Five for the Future program. And I’m thrilled to have as a guest today, Sarah Norris, JavaScript developer, theme builder and core contributor and editor core tech lead for WordPress 6.4, also sponsored by Automattic. Happy New Year to you too, Sarah. How are you today?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Happy New Year. I’m really good, thank you. I’m very ready to talk about all the work that’s been happening over the last few weeks, especially as we lead up to a fast approaching 6.5.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yes, it’s fast approaching and we are going to talk about that. But yeah, catching up on everything. The year-end vacation kind of always puts a little bit of a dent in being up-to-date with Gutenberg and the block editor and this is your chance to catch up on it. We have a big show, so it might go over the hour limit, but I hope we can get it brief. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Announcements – State of the Word</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So State of the Word, there was a lot of celebration around 2023 in the State of the Word and brought it to the WordPress community. And if you haven’t watched the keynote yet, there is a YouTube video. There’s also a YouTube video about the Q&A afterwards and I’ll share the link to the Weekend Edition 228. That’s the last one on Good Work Times where I shared a ton of links, so this will be in the show notes, but it was the first State of the Word outside of US, a huge success with livestream on multiple channels. And is there anything that stood out for you, Sarah?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes. Yeah, so much fun. It was such a good State of the Word. So it was discussed how many… the number of WordCamps that’s increased. So I think we’ve doubled the number of WordCamps and Meetups, and that has to come in more and more countries as well. I attended the first UK WordCamp, so the first UK WordCamp since the pandemic last September. It was so much fun. It was held in Whitley Bay, which is in the northeast of England, and I’d just love for everyone in the WordPress community to experience this, and as the number of meets and word camps grow, I hope everyone is able to attend. It’s almost like… unable to put it into words how good it is attending local events and being part of your local community as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, it’s the live, the person-to-person interaction. It’s kind of how relationships are built and it’s such a richer experience than just doing it online. And I just happened to think of it, but there is a new page on wordpress.org, it’s called Events, it’s <a href=\"https://events.wordpress.org/\">wordpress.org/events</a> and it has a big map with all the events happening and a list and you can filter down to location or what type of events. And so you learn about all the local Meetups, so if there isn’t one near you, there is the chance that you could actually start one. Yeah, it’s a lot of work and it’s a ton of fun. For about four years, I organized the meetup in Florida when I was still living there and I had so much fun with the local community, and I was always up-to-date on WordPress because I had to do a little intro every time and… Great speakers. So it’s a ton of fun.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want to do that, the make.community… No, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/\">make.wordpress.org/community</a>, that’s a handbook for meetup organizers and work group organizers, and out of the small cell of a local meetup will grow the bigger one. That’s the WordCamp. Yeah, thank you for letting me rant on about this. I’m by heart a community organizer, so I’m kind of really happy about… That those come back. Although we doubled the number of WordCamps, there is still a lot of work to be done to get on the level of pre-pandemic. So 2018 and ’19, we had about 140 WordCamps around the world, which is double the number that we had last year. So we are on the way because it’s going to be maybe a hockey stick growth rate there with all the local Meetups coming back. All right, so back to State of the Word, what else stood out for you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I’d also like to give Playground a shout-out. It’s become one of my absolute favorite tools to use when developing and testing for Gutenberg and also when building themes and plugins. I’m just so excited for what the future holds for this tool and just well done to everyone involved in building such an amazing tool as well. Yeah, I’d recommend everyone check it out if you haven’t already.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, check it out. WordPress Playground. It’s actually WordPress in a browser. You don’t need a local server and you can have a plugin, can use it for demos as can themes, but it’s also… Some of the tutorial educational content will have some Playground links as well so you can see how it actually works and… Without having you setting up all your local development and all that, so it’s really cool. Yeah. I think they’re also working on a VS Code extension, so you get a little WordPress button in your left taskbar and then you click on it, and then from the directory you can call up the Playground instance. So that would be really cool. It’s still in the works, but I think that’s the goal for it, yeah. Anything else that stood out from State of the Word?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes. Yeah, I’m also excited about the admin redesign, so yeah, I’m just looking forward to… I think this is another maybe long anticipated feature. Yeah, like anything, any big redesign of any long-standing tool is always exciting and I think this is… Yeah, it’s just going to be incredible.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, it is. Yeah. And that’s the unification of all the list views on… List of posts, list of pages, list of categories that I haven’t tackled yet, but the list of templates. So it’s all a unified kind of system. So I really excited about that too. And it looks so modern. It looks so… Like, “Oh, this is from the 21st century.” Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Exactly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Well, what stood out for me was kind of a little bit a higher level thing from State of the Word. There was a data liberation project that Matt Mullenweg announced. That’s a community initiative to bring all the tools that agencies and hosting companies put together for migration in and out of WordPress. So in and out of… From Wix to WordPress, from Squarespace to WordPress, from Google Docs to WordPress and all that. And I think that is a really good step forward to the open web, that a user or a site owner can take a hold of their own data and they’re not beholden to a centralized kind of system that doesn’t let you get out of it once you have signed up for it because the switching costs are too high or not possible at all and you have to start all over again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I think that is a really good initiative. We’ll see how it plays out in the next year of course, but there are some… So I’ll share a few links in the show notes about that. And the other thing that stood out for me was everybody was waiting for the date of WordCamp US, which is September 20… No, what is it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: September 17th to September 20th. Yeah, September next… This year.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: September was good. So September 17th through the 20th, and if you count the dates right, there are two days… Contributor day and two-day conference. So this is kind of a new format and I’m excited to see that and how that plays out. So that’s it from the State of the Word. Anything else?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: No, I think that’s it from the State of the Word.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. Of course, we also have a lot of recap posts if you’re not into video watching, it’s also on the link then. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 6.5</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So next up, WordPress 6.5, that’s the release coming now and it’s fast approaching. We have a schedule, so Beta 1 is scheduled for February 13th, 2024. That is feature freeze kind of thing. And I did a calculation, 38 days from today, and today’s January 5th. And the last Gutenberg release that’s going to make it new, feature-wise, will be 17.7, which is actually only three Gutenberg releases away. It’s fast approaching. After Beta 1 comes weekly Beta 2 and Beta 3 with bug fixes after testing and then brings us to release candidate one for March 5th, though in exactly two months, March 5th, 2024. That is the deadline for string freeze and also for developer notes to be published and collected in the field guide that accompanies every major release release candidate is actually right before WordCamp Asia, which takes place on March 7th through ninth.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this is great timing because everybody who wants to go to WordCamp Asia already has a release candidate. Whoever is on the release squad can… Oh, release candidate’s done. So the major work for the release is probably done by that time and that’s a good thing. You don’t want to be on a WordCamp and have to deal with releases at all. Yeah. Final release is scheduled for March 26th, 2024. So here is your schedule for that. That seems to be a pretty good schedule in terms of spacing out the betas and release candidate, that’s some kind of tradition with WordPress release. You were on 6.4. How is the weekly kind of updates and what goes into next beta and all that? Is it particularly important?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, yeah, the dates are important. It’s almost like time… If you didn’t think time went quick enough already, being part of a WordPress release. Yeah, I think one of my ways to deal with the release dates is usually I have a deadline for myself that’s just ahead of the important dates. So usually the Friday before a date, but also that reduces the time, because I don’t know if I’m stressing myself out more. No, it’s all good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack:</em> No, it’s all good. I think you need the Monday to do all the backboards and then… The beta releases and release candidates are all on Tuesdays because Wednesday is too late, and if you want to move it, you could move it to Wednesdays, but you don’t want to release anything on Thursday or Friday because then the whole weekend is kind of full with anxiety and communication and feedback, kind of that. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roadmap 6.5</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, so early December, Anne McCarthy has published the roadmap for 6.4, and it’s a very long post and we are certainly not going to… We would need to have another two-hour show to go through it in detail, but let’s look at the highlights for it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it has four major topics from the editor part, that’s design tools, that’s adoption pathways, the foundational experience, which is some of the redesign, and new APIs. And I think the first three are really interesting for users and those who build interfaces for others but not… Or do site builders that are no-code. So the fonts library, we are waiting for that for quite a while now, but I think it’s coming into 6.5 eventually, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes. Yeah, a long anticipated feature coming to core. Yeah, so this brings font management directly to core, allowing users to edit and remove custom fonts all within the editor. It has been available from Gutenberg 16.7, so there’s some underlying changes currently going on, but if you do want to test it, you can already test it using the Gutenberg plugin. But yes, a brand new redesigned API and the UI will be coming to 6.5 and yes, it’s extremely exciting. I know I’ve spoken to so many users who are looking forward to this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And the waiting was really hard on those users that are looking forward to them because it got pulled from the 6.4 release at pretty much last minute, like Beta 2 or something like that, because it wasn’t ready for the REST API kind of thing. What’s also coming is sync specific blocks and patterns. We have sync patterns, but it’s the partially synced patterns where you can change layout and styling of a pattern, but not the content. Right now, synced patterns are when you change something on the pattern and it changes through all the instances that it was synced, but if you have partially synced, you can kind of have a little bit… You have a granular control on what should be synced, a role of the pattern instance that it was used, and what shouldn’t, and I think that is pretty much, as of this week, ready for testing. We probably need to wait for 17.5 to get it into Gutenberg plugin, but look out for that release to start testing on this.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third item in the design tools was the section specific theme.json and Colorways. So you have multiple palettes that introduce some of the sections that you use in your theme and have a different color palette that you can style it with. I think that’s the idea there. I think the work is on the Group Block right now.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, that’s right. Yeah, it’s like sectioning off the theme.json… Well, specifically at the moment just for colors, but I think this will be great. It’s kind of like a great gateway into expanding the design tools, especially for theme builders. And like you say, this is only going to apply to the Group Block, but it’s a good example, for instance, of a theme author being able to provide colors that work well together, but in a specific instance, so just for the Group Block. So you could make sure that text is accessible in that specific instance. I think it plays a really exciting future for splitting up theme.json, also because theme.json can get really long as well and that file can get big. So yeah, I think it’s heading in the right direction with this as well, to splitting it all.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: I think it also bridges the gaps between… I don’t know if that’s part of it, I need to test it out, but when you have styling for certain blocks or block styles, those don’t have the design tools to further style them later on. And I think this will be one that’s built out, not just for the group log or for a certain instance, it could help with the additional styles that theme developers offer their users to also give additional styling to them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: All right. And then on the roadmap, there’s a section adoption pathways, and that is to make certain features available for classic themes or make them easier to handle support for appearance tools and classic themes. So I think we have one of the change log items that we discussed further is about colors and dual tone and color settings, and then also improved pattern management for classic themes. Yeah. You wanted to say?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I was just saying yes to the features that are coming up in the Gutenberg releases we’re talking about. Yeah, I noticed there was a lot in relation to the appearance but also the classic themes. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And then for the foundational experience, that’s the part where the data views come in on the roadmap and they will come in for templates, template parts and patterns in the site editor. At least that’s on the roadmap, but they are also… You can already test those, but you need to open up the experiments tab for that to switch them on and then you can see them for pages, you can see them for… Patterns? No, not patterns. Patterns is the only one that doesn’t work yet, but for templates and template parts, and definitely a feature that needs feedback, that needs definitely testing and bug fixing, especially for backwards compatibility for the previous versions. That’s definitely something, if you want to dive into how things are going. The next one, it’s called robust revisions. Do you know what that is about, Sarah?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: So this is improving revisions but across multiple places. So I think we’ve started templates and template parts, so they’ll now show revisions alongside style revisions and you can also compare this revision side-by-side as well, which I think is brand new. And we’ve also added pagination. So yeah, a whole ton of improvements for revisions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Right. Yeah, definitely.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: We’re also integrated with the style book now. This may be coming up as well, I think in the change log, but yeah, we integrated with the style book.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, it’s definitely something you need to test, you want to test and it’s a part of the bigger project also to have revisions for any post metadata, which hasn’t happened in WordPress before. So a lot of plugins probably will be happy to use those revisions screen when they’re ready and available for extensions as well. And then one thing I’m pretty excited about, but it has also seemed to be quite a complex issue to actually have a customizable Navigation Block for mobile headings or navigation, the little hamburger, what goes in and what goes out because it’s never going…</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time it’s not one-to-one with the normal site navigation, but there will be an overlay that you can switch in and out, but it seems to be quite complicated. I looked at some of the issues, one of the issues exactly, and it has a long discussion on which way to go on it. So it’s still in the design phase, I believe. Not sure if it’s going to make it to 6.5, but maybe it’s easy once the design questions are all answered to then dive into the development. But yeah, computers are involved, so nothing is really easy. I don’t know how you see that, if you have some insight into that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I know it’s a lot. So I think on the face of it, especially because it sounds like it’s a section of the Navigation Block, but I think when if… Anyone who’s built a responsive navigation knows it’s not simple, so then as soon as you start trying to do it, to cater for so many of the people to be able to build this kind of tool. Yeah, it’s pretty complicated, but there’s some really good work going into this, some good conversations. Yeah, we’ll get there. And I think all the discussions and a long design discussion, it always ends up with a good first pass.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And then there are three new APIs coming with different outlooks, kind of, or goals. The Interactivity API we have been talking about for about a year now, and some of the Core Blocks are using it in a private API, but for 6.5 it’s coming out of experimental and will be a public API for everybody who develops blocks to be able to use the custom fields API and binding API, I’m not quite sure how far along they are. They haven’t been released yet in a private API kind of setting. I’m not sure they’re actually going to make it. There will be underlying… They will support some of the new features but in a private API to see if they all work as they’re supposed to be working. I think that’s pretty much the high level idea about that. And then lastly there will be some… There’s PHB compatibility work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There’s a rollback between plugin and themes, updates with automatic updates. That has been testing also for quite a few months and is supposed to come also a better handling of plugin dependencies. And of course, the performance team does a fantastic job in going after all those performance improvements that are possible with WordPress, be it for the block editor or for PHP or for the backend as well. So those are also coming to 6.5. But as Matias and Matt said, just because we say phase two is done, doesn’t mean the work is done. So there will be UX iterations and quite a few listview background image support for Group Block, some of it is already there. Then revisiting template versus content editing modes. That kind of confuses a lot of people. “Are we adding a template or am I adding a page or what am I doing here?”</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those questions come up with testing quite a bit. And then what has been progressed quite a while is to align the edit features that are available in the site editor and the post editor. So it can be reused is pretty much… That’s one thing. And users, the advantage of it is that users don’t have to relearn what’s available in which editor because they… Maybe that’s also part of the confusion that we have on, are we editing templates or content. And so the background image support and the aligning the features are ready for testing. I think there has been some great progress made in the Gutenberg releases. And then the last point is adding box shadow component. There is box shadow support, but I think it’s only made available for theme.json level but not for user interfaces. Is that right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, that’s right. Yeah. So the work for 6.5 will expose this to the UI as well, so end users can use the box shadow component as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. We’ll see how that all… And then the last thing that’s on the roadmap is that the minimum version for MySQL is going to be raised from 5.0 to 5.5.5. Very specific, but look out for it and talk to your hosting company to make sure that there is an upgrade path if you’re still on an older MySQL version. All right, so anything else about the roadmap that you want to add?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: No, I think that was everything. It’s a very long roadmap.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, it’s ambitious. Yeah. Roadmaps are always quite ambitious. And then you see on Gutenberg 17.6, we’ll see how we wiggle down that ambition a little bit and kind of what’s realistic and then we’ll see what’s coming into 17.7. Yeah, that’s the last one. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s Released – Gutenberg 17.2</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All right, so let’s go into the weeds. And we start with Gutenberg 17.2, it was released on December 6th. Wow, that’s a month ago. And there were a few things that stand out and one was the data views, and that added extra context to… So the data views are the ones that are in the admin section, the list of things, list of properties or entities or whatever you call it, I call them things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so there are quite a few features in the old admin screen that needed to come in a better way into the new admin screen. And there was kind of a filter row, the table header pagination and there’s extra… You can now scroll down and have the larger data sets. You don’t have to scroll up and down. So there’s a sticky table header that’s really good. That wasn’t available in the old one. So that’s the first… Yay.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, it’s very helpful, especially when the scroll bar is really long, so you don’t have to remember… The pagination is also sticky as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh yeah, that’s great.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Same with that, you don’t have to scroll… Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Good. And then one of the things is that drag and drop is now a little bit more refined. There was a problem to drag and drop to the beginning of a post or page and to the end, and contributors have figured out how to make this better and actually functioning. And so it kind of virtually enlarges the area. It was really irritating that you could do it in the second one. You can drag into between the first one and the second one, and then you had to move it up if you wanted to get a block to the beginning of something. So it’s really good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, yeah, it was really finicky. It was like you were fighting with the top on the blocks. It was just like it wants to drag you into this, but yeah, and now you don’t have to fight.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, yeah. I also think that the drop zones are better marked now than at the previous versions of the block editor. So I’m really grateful for that. I just it saw, that the list view… You can also now drag into a collapse block in the list view, which is really cool. So you don’t have to just first expand a block to put additional blocks into a Group Block or a Columns Block or something like that. So you can just drag it there. Of course, the order of that, that’s random. But yeah, once you get them in, you can organize it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, that’s cool. It’s less clicks, it should be less clicks.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Do you want to take the next one?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, what else have we got? So we’ve also got the adding the toolbar for distraction free mode. So distraction free mode removes all of the UI? All the UI. So you are only looking at your content and you’re only… So you can write a long blog post hopefully. The problem with this is that it could be hard to format some of the content. So this brings in the toolbar when you mouse over the top of the editor, it’ll bring in toolbar when you’re in distraction free mode. So yeah, I recommend checking that out as well, if you haven’t checked that distraction free one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, I really like it. And it should be actually a default setting for the writers of the users that still like the white box from the old classic block editor that… And there is no distraction, every time you move the mouse or you move the keyword, there’s something popping up and coming down and you don’t remember where it was and what it was and it kind of totally gets you out of the flow for your writing session. So distraction free mode is a really… Extension there, and refinement definitely helps with all the writing tools in the block editor.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the Gallery Block now has styled scroll bars for the image captions, which is really an additional design tool because the image captions were always a little bit randomly placed on the Gallery Block. Yeah. The Interactivity API, they add… Luis Herranz, I think, did the proposal to have the Interactivity API use modals instead of scripts on the front end, which kind of makes it native JavaScript… A little bit closer to native JavaScript. So I think that’s for the developers amongst us to check out. And do you have any thoughts about that?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I’m really excited about the Interactivity API going out into the world. I think it really opens up… Well, so I’m from a front-end development background, so if I wasn’t already working at Gutenberg and I was building WordPress sites, I would be really excited about this. I’d be looking forward to using it so much. Yeah, it’s basically… I don’t want to say it’s React and you can look under the hood, what it actually is, but yeah, it basically surfaces so much functionality to the WordPress front end.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: There wasn’t before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Especially you’re building custom block.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So check it out as it’s coming to 6.5 as a public API, so let’s definitely start checking it out. There are efforts to bring introductions to the Interactivity API as well as case studies to the developer blog. I’m not quite sure they will be ready by March, but definitely subscribe to the WordPress developer blog on developer.org… <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/\">wordpress.org/news</a>. So you get notifications when there’s a new post coming up, and it actually has some great additional tutorials in there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about documentation, there was an initiative to put the fundamentals of block development, rewrite some of that or put it in a different order. So when you’re trying to learn more about block development, that the official documentation in the block editor handbook helps you get started and learn all the concepts about the file structure, registration of a block, the block wrapper, working with JavaScript and the block, what block.json can do for you, landing and first pages and the landing pages and all. And they’re all kind of getting a revamp.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Riad, I think it’s mainly Riad Benguella who is also writing the documentation for using Gutenberg as a framework, as a platform outside the WordPress context. It hasn’t been published yet, but if you fork the Gutenberg repo and you can start reading it. And he has some great tutorials on attributes, definitions, transform pages and blocks, and also the block supports for the framework, which is a little bit… Works a little bit differently than in the WordPress context, of course. So this is pretty new on the… And then, of course, there’s always some work to be done on the documentation with the new components, theme.json, and also template names and web pack options and all that. So this is highly technical and I would suggest you read the change log on the documentation part, if you’re interested in that and learning about new things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I think, yeah, it’s also the Create Block scaffolding. I don’t know if you have used it, Sarah, but I’m a big fan of that scaffolding tool since the beginning because I don’t have to remember all the things I need for a plugin that has a block. And you can also use an interactive template that makes the new block ready-to-use Interactivity API. And because there’s a new Store API for the Interactivity API, the Create Block scaffolding tool has already been updated to use that. So this is pretty cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, it’s very cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Very cool. And I think that’s it from Gutenberg 17.2, and we go right headfirst into 17.3. Do you want to start us off?</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gutenberg 17.3</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, sure. So this also included many improvements to the revision changes like we highlighted before 6.5. So 17.3 included adding a brief summary of the revision changes to global styles. So when you view the revisions in global styles and you click on the dates, it’ll now give you a brief summary of the blocks that would change and the styles… Yeah, the blocks that would change with the style changes. Yeah, it’s very good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, that’s excellent. And there’s also enhancement of the social icons that is now using or adding the Gravatar service and it’s also updated. Well, sometimes I’m really cool. I’m really excited when I see consistency be applied to all the controls. So the default typography controls are now consistent across all the blocks, because different contributors write the different pieces of it, and then once you have the pieces you kind of need to see, okay, how can it make this a little bit more consistent, because then it’s easier on the eye end. You don’t have to worry, why is that distance longer than the other one, or whatever. So that is really good work. It’s God’s work, but it’s not always appreciated or seen that much. So I wanted to point that out. The same is also… Or the color dimensions of the List items Block, I think that’s new. That’s an enhancement for the List Block. So you can do the margins and the padding around list items. You can also have controls over it. It’s really cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: The preference is modal as well. It’s also had a nice update, maybe something you wouldn’t expect to see updates for, but in 17.3, it’s had an organization update with the introduction of some new panels for appearance and accessibility settings.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, that’s really cool.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Nice UX enhancement.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh yeah, there were also some updates to the external… Have you ever noticed the external images panel in the Post publish sidebar?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes. Yeah, right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: That’s such a cool feature. So what does it do? And it kind of seems to be unnoticed, but it helps you. So if you copy paste from a different webpage or from Google Docs into your block editor canvas, out of the box or automatically, it links the images from the original space. So once you publish it and you delete the Google doc where… Yeah, all of a sudden your images go away or if you migrated from a different webpage, those external images don’t come automatically over. So each of the images in the toolbar has an upload to your own media library. But if you have 10 images, you don’t want to do it one at a time. And when you publish the post, the pre-published view has kind of thumbnails of all the images that are external and gives you a button to upload them all at once into your media library before you publish your post. I think that’s genius.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: It is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Because in the preview you see the images because the original place still has them, and all of a sudden the post goes away. We actually have met the developer blog quite a bit when… So it’s a really cool feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, it is. It’s something that’s maybe easily forgotten about as well because like you say, if you’re copying and pasting, like a lot of people do, and then you’re just like, “Yeah, they’re showing, they’re fine,” and you can just easily forget about them. Yeah, so really good feature.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, really good. Well done, Ella. So was that all that we had? I think there wasn’t a whole lot of… In that release, but I like all the accessibility improvements that are listed in there and the performance as well. There’s quite a few performance improvements, just because improving the code quality and having not so many calls to the same feature or same store kind of reduces that load times and the reloading of things. The experiments, I’m pretty much done with that. Are we? 17.3?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I think there’s one about the update for matching the front-end layout class names between the editor and the front end. So it’s a minor change, but I think anyone who’s working with CSS, especially with WordPress, will appreciate any updates like this where the generated layout class name in the editor will now match to the front end.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yay.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: So yeah, it’s a nice little enhancement.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: So those who have dealt with that before, they need to revisit the code to not… Are there compatibility issues with that or…?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: No, I don’t think so. I think just going forward the class names will match. So I guess previously there would be a lot more work involved, so things should be more simple going forward. So I don’t think there’s any backwards compatibility.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Good, good, good. Yeah, sometimes I wonder when CSS changes come. And we had a few hiccups with releases there as well. Yeah. All right, well, we are really good.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gutenberg 17.4</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are through 17.3, and then this week Gutenberg 17.4 was released and also had a few highlights, and definitely the unification between site and post editor has progressed rapidly. So now we have Page Attributes panel, post taxonomies panel, the view link thing, panel. Discussion panel and feature image panels are now available also in the site editor. And that’s really good. So when you create pages and edit pages, you have all the tools that you need there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Next one, there’s so many improvements to the DataViews as well with this release. So we’ve stabilized the experience of the template screen, making it available outside the experiments flag and without the additional views options, but templates have been marked as stable. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. So DataViews testing is now on. If you install, you can use the plugin also on the test site or on Playground and install it there and test those template pages. So the DataViews of that is really… You can start now. For the design tools, the 17.4 has the first iteration of support background image in the Group… Well, we had background image in the Group Block before, but now it also has some tools, controls for the background size and also for tiling or repeat feature on the background image. So there’s a cover option there that means it covers the whole size of the Group Block, or you could have a contains option that it contains the aspect ratio and the Group Block can display something on top or below. But with that you can also enable the repeat feature and then it would only repeat in one dimension.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if the block is longer than the image, then it would repeat in the height of it and if the Group Block is wider than the background image, then it would tile it in the width of it. And then there’s a custom size. So you can say, “Okay, use that background image but only in the size of 200 width and then repeat it.” And then it gives you the repetition over the full set of the Group Block. Did I explain this right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, expanding the background image options to include cover and contain, and then with all those options you just described. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And I think that’s pretty cool because then you can have some great… Well, some people say it reminds them of GeoCities, but that’s not a bad thing. Giving more controls to the user and to designers to make some interesting layouts and interesting designs for the websites.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: And I think anything that reminds me of GeoCities can only be a good thing. Maybe that’s just my age showing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Or mine. I love it. Played quite a bit of a part. The next step?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: We’ve also got some updates… Yeah, the global Styles revision. So we mentioned these as part of the 6.5 roadmap, but as part of 17.4 we’ve got some updates to the revisions for adding pagination and the integration into the Style Book. So global Styles revisions, you can now navigate between lots of different revisions over multiple pages of revisions and you can also see them from the Style Book itself as well. And I think that that really highlights the Style Book as such a useful tool as well, especially for styling. It’s in the name, Style Book, but especially for styling many blocks, many blocks at a different… Sorry, at the same time, rather than… I don’t know if maybe some people who are new to the editor may feel that they have to edit certain sections in different places because things feel new and they’re all over the place. If you start with the style book and you can see all the blocks in one place, I think it may help understand how they all interact with the different styling and how they interact with each other as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And the Style Book is actually something that I, at the beginning of the block editor when I was trying to figure out if they… In 2018 actually, trying to figure out if we should enable the block editor for certain websites, and I was putting all the blocks in one post and then make them available for that particular site. And then we were able to look through it, how do the blocks behave? Whereas the styles need to be adjusted so they actually show the cover block and all that. And the Style Book is really replacing that totally. But it’s really helpful for… As you said, you have so many places where you can change the appearance of a block, of an element, more of a… That, or of a section, that it… Or in a post or globally on the style IU, you sometimes have a hard time figuring out, “Where did I change that or where is that red line coming from?” So the Style Book really helps you with that, to kind of track that down.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: We’ve also got the right-click for blocks. So yeah. So in the list view, yeah. So you can now right-click blocks in the list view, so on the left-hand side when you’re in the editor, and it’ll open the block settings panel for that block. And I think this is super cool because it makes Gutenberg feel a lot more like an app. It already feels like an app. And then we’ve got the admin redesign coming as well, and now we’re going to have right-click menus. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah, right-click menus. Yay.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Right, yeah. Right-click menus, yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And that’s the block settings menu that will come up. That’s where you have add, before and after, copy things, create patterns. Those are the menu items that are in the block settings menu that shows up when you right-click on a block in the list view. It also makes you streamline the whole process quite a bit because you only have one list view and you don’t have to scroll up and down the canvas, you can just kind of collapse and expand on the list view and do some fine-tuning there. What’s also quite interesting here is in 17.4, all the performance enhancements or improvements that people are working on as well, most of them, again, also store subscriptions and improvements that take down the load times and the reload times. So that is definitely yay to the performance improvements. There are quite… I don’t know, I haven’t counted them, but it might be 40 or so items that are concerning the data view.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that experiment is really progressing quite a bit. So even if that’s the template part, you can enable the experiment and then get all the other data views as well to test things. Yeah, list view, the sync patterns is kind of working. Yeah, the documentation updates, one is that there is a new build your first block tutorial in the Getting Started section of the block editor handbook. And I’m not quite sure how finished that is, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye out for that, as it made the start of your block development experience easier than before. At least, that’s the hope. And if it doesn’t, yell at us. It’s good to get your frustrations out because that’s how we learn, we’ve got to get over it, then we need to get back to it. I did one of the courses, the data layer introduction course on <a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/\">learn.wordpress.org</a>, and I’ve really found it quite interesting to go through that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I learned so much about using the components also for plugin outside the block editor context and a plugin settings page, and also how to interact with the WordPress data. And I shared my enthusiasm for that course on Twitter. And then someone who also went through that said, “Well, it’s not always quite clear which code examples need to be changed to get to the next step.” And I said, “Yeah, you’re not alone.” And I definitely have a set of notes for that, for the faculty member who created the course, but I also found it quite satisfying that I actually figured out what needs to happen. And that’s part of the learning piece, that you cement the learning so much better when you figure it out yourself than somebody spoon feeding that to you. So I’m in two minds about that. But yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: You can fall into the trap of just copying and pasting everything, if everything is there. But I also understand examples are amazing to be in docs. So yeah, we need a good balance of just enough examples to get people to figure out the next thing on their own so they feel like they’ve learned something too.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: And I think it’s also… It might be the experience of a web developer that we had to figure out so much before on our own that it’s kind of part of the habit, too. “Yeah, it’s not working the first time.” That expectation is not there, so we always have to figure it out. Same with using different scripts and all that. As I said, computers are involved, easy is not always easy as it seems. But if you are on the developer path and you’re listening and want to learn something, they have some great courses on the learn.wordpress.org site, and they’re relatively fast to get through. Not always easy, as we said, but yeah. And speaking of which, the easy part, I think we are through with Gutenberg 17.4, right? So this time you got it, three Gutenberg releases in one hour, just about.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What’s in Active Development or Discussed <strong> </strong></h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah. But I sat down on a quest during the holidays… Or between the holidays or between the year, as we say in Germany, between the year, I sat on a quest to migrate the Gutenberg Times to block theme, and I now take the opportunity to have discussed that with Sarah, who’s the professional theme developer and builder of tools, to see if I’m on the right track. So I migrated Gutenberg Times off to a different hosting to Pressable. They’re very impressive. It’s a really great hosting company, but that was the first part of it. So now I wanted to scope out what needs to change visibly, and I thought, “Okay, how can I look at 2024 without changing my front end and without getting all my site door mixed up?” And I remembered there is this site health and troubleshooting plugin from the WordPress community where you can kind of switch to a different theme for the admin, but the front end stays the same.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visitor sees what they see and you don’t change it. So I enabled the 2024 and the necessary plugins that I needed for content, like the plugin… The podcast plugin or the blocks that I have from a different plugin. I use the Post Grid block from the Genesis Blocks for a long time. So I needed to enable that. And then I navigated the site like I was the visitor and took notes. I have a list of to-do items, and so I get the scope for that. And now, but how do I execute that? So I was thinking, and I wanted to check with you, Sarah, if that’s the right approach or if there’s a better way to do this. So I would create a clone of my site, then install the Create Block Theme plugin, which is in the repository. Then I would activate for real the 2024 theme and then make the changes to the template, create new templates, change the styles of things, and then, what? I export the new theme and then upload it to the live site? Would that be a good place? Good way to do it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Yes, I think so. A really good shout out to the Site Health plugin as well, I never would’ve thought of it. Yeah, it’s a good starting point. Yes, I think… So you’ve already created a clone of the site, so you’ve isolated a copy of your site, you’re working on that as a separate theme and then you’re going to export that as the new theme in order to activate it on your live site. So yeah, I think that sounds like a perfect workflow. The only other option I was thinking was that… But I don’t think in your specific case… I’m not sure how much it’d help, but just to put another option out there, Create Block Theme also has the option to start from scratch, so create a blank theme rather than starting with an existing theme.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I definitely would recommend starting with 2024, but I know that some people, especially if you’re used to designing from scratch or a blank canvas, some people might like to start from a blank theme and you do have that option with Create Block Theme. So yeah, you’ll get completely empty templates, empty pages, but it will be a block theme starting point, so you don’t have to figure out how to actually get started.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Oh, good. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: In the theme technical terms. But yeah, you’re ready to start inserting things into the page templates and creating new menus. So yeah, probably if you’ve got an existing site. I guess it depends on the layout, and you could also choose another existing block theme that maybe matches the current classic theme more closely. But yeah, so it depends on your use case. I guess the biggest thing to decide is where your starting point is going to be, whether it’s an existing theme, a default theme, or the blank theme that comes with Create Block Theme. But yeah, the approach you suggested sounds perfect. Yeah, export a new theme and then you can upload it somewhere. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Okay. Yeah. All right. Okay. Yeah, so I’m not missing any step and then be surprised, like, “Oh no, that doesn’t work.” And start from scratch again. No, I think I want to start from an existing theme. So with the step on the Site Health and troubleshooting plugin, you could install… Or before you enable the troubleshooting mode on the plugin, install other plug themes. So I would think maybe Brian Gardner has some… Two block themes, the Frost and the Powder. Then Ellen Bauer has two great themes. One is the AinoBlock and the other of the Aino theme, but I think it was an earlier block theme. And then the latest one is MOOC, which is actually for magazine sites, which I am going to review again to see if that matches up. It’s quite a nice theme. And then my classic theme is Excel from… And there’s NorĂ©n, who also has quite a few block themes, and is actually an early adopter of block themes. And he has, I think, four or five block themes in there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I’m not yet quite sure on my decision on the 2024 theme, but Eat Your Own Dog Food is probably… That’s where I’m going to end up. But I like exploring the different themes. And the troubleshooting mode on the plugin, SiteHealth plugin, is definitely helping quite easily because you don’t have to set up a new site and all that to just test out some of the themes. And of course I could do Playground… No, I can’t. Well, there are ideas around Playground to actually create a copy of your site and then you can test things out. But I think that’s not that far yet. But keep out, watch out for Playground, it can really help you with things.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: At the moment, with Playground, you could install the Create Block Theme plugin in a Playground instance and then build a theme in that instance and then export it from there. So again, maybe not a hundred percent for your use case, but just to know there’s another option, yet another option out there. It’s good for isolating the WordPress instance, and you don’t have to worry about all the other things that come with it, like hosting and setting up WordPress, obviously all the benefits of Playground. So you can just start from Create Block Theme, basically.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: That’s so true. So any designer could just use Playground, click on one button on the Playground site and then install the plugin. And then once you… The Create Block Theme and then create from scratch or use the 2024 one and then export it and use it on any other site. But it goes away, right? Playground goes away again, when you close the browser, right?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: You can now change the option so it will persist. So yeah, there are other options. So if you’re looking for these options, they’re in the top right when you visit the Playground site. But yeah, so not everything disappears now when you close the Playground, you can persist it in the browser, in the browser history.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Wow, that’s fantastic. You don’t even need anything, any websites. Yeah, you can just use Playground to persist it. All right, well, this has been such a great show to talk to you about and chat about. Thank you so much, Sarah. So when people want to reach you, where do they find you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: I am mikachan or mikachan underscore. Someone else has already taken my username on everywhere, basically, on wordpress.org and Twitter and yeah. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: All right.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sarah Norris</em>: Please reach out. Yeah.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Birgit Pauli-Haack</em>: Yeah. And I will share the contact information in the show notes so you can follow up with them. Well, this was the first show of 2024.

Many developers, freelancers, and site builders use the downtime around the holidays to work on their side projects or sit down to write about their learnings. What was your side or writing project? I want to know! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, it meant moving the Gutenberg Times to a new hosting space. I feared it to be difficult going from a very opinionated hosting environment to <a href=\"https://pressable.com/\">Pressable</a>. I was pleasantly surprised how, with the help of customer service, we got it done in a matter of minutes. What took the longest was the propagation of the DNS server changes over the Internet, that took roughly an hour. The main reasons for the switch was that using <a href=\"https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/\">WordPress Playground</a> with <a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/need-a-zip-from-master/\">Gutenberg Nightly</a> didn’t work at the old host. After testing various configuration also on other hosting spaces, I am excited that it worked out of the box on Pressable. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let’s see what others published in the WordPress editor space in the past three weeks. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours, đź’•<br /><em>Birgit</em></p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: The sixth anniversary of the start of Gutenberg Times is coming up this week, and I just wanted to say, it has been a great pleasure curating all the things around Gutenberg for you.

The topic covers creating a card with three blocks and some InnerBlocks rules and how to modify the styles for the custom block. It’s a great starting point.

You likely already have measures in place to block hacking attempts. But did you know that you can also create honeypots to further protect your business?</p>\n\n\n<p>What is a honeypot? In a nutshell, this is a web app or system that mimics your company’s network. It’s designed to lure in hackers so that the security team can study their tactics and identify weak areas in your organization. </p>\n\n\n<p>In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how honeypots work and the different ways you can implement them. We’ll also discuss the benefits of honeypots in cybersecurity and spam protection. So, let’s dive right in!</p>\n\n\n<span id=\"more-283657\"></span>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are honeypots?</h2>\n\n<p>Let’s start by answering the most important question: what is a honeypot?</p>\n\n\n<p>Essentially, a honeypot is a network that’s designed to serve as a decoy for hackers. It’s made to appear as part of an organization’s IT infrastructure, but in fact, it’s completely isolated from it. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary purpose of honeypots is to attract cyber threats. This way, security experts can get a close look at the attackers’ tactics and behavior in a safe and controlled environment. Using this information, they can then enhance the overall security of the actual infrastructure. </p>\n\n\n<p>This technique is usually deployed by enterprises that handle large amounts of data. By being proactive, your organization can identify vulnerabilities in its network before they’re discovered by hackers. This ultimately helps prevent serious hacking events that can negatively impact your revenue or damage your reputation.</p>\n\n<p>Plus, creating a honeypot can help you test the effectiveness of pre‑existing security measures against cyber threats. Your enterprise can then use these findings to fortify its system.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The different types of honeypots</h2>\n\n<p>Now that we’ve answered the basic question on what a honeypot is, let’s look at the different types of decoys you can use:</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Form honeypot </h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bots will often fill out forms on your site to send spam or attempt to inject malicious code into your site. No, that fishy-sounding company didn’t really find “30 SEO errors on your site!” They used a bot to send spam to thousands of site owners hoping to catch someone off guard. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since bots typically fill out any available field, you can trick them into identifying themselves by essentially creating an invisible field that the bot can read in the code, but that won’t appear to users. If one fills it out, you know it’s a fake submission. </p>\n\n\n<p>While this is a decent way to catch spam, it’s not without its faults as bots can increasingly decipher these traps and work around them. </p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Email or spam trap</h3>\n\n<p>As you might have guessed, email or spam trap honeypots are designed to catch malicious emails that are sent to your organization. The way they work is quite simple.</p>\n\n<p>A spam trap honeypot would consist of “fake” email addresses linked to your organization. You might place these contact details on your website or any other online platform to lure in spammers.</p>\n\n<p>Your security team can then review and examine any unsolicited emails that come into the honeypot. This will help them design effective filters and spam protection measures for the “real” email addresses, thus protecting employees against phishing attacks and other malicious activities.</p>\n\n\n<p>To avoid any confusion, we’d like to mention that you may have also heard about these in the context of email marketing or email deliverability. That’s because email <a href=\"https://www.mailgun.com/blog/deliverability/spam-traps/#subchapter-1\">spam trap honeypots</a> are also used by blocklists and inbox service providers to catch mass email senders who acquire email lists via unauthorized methods. However, this isn’t something the cybersecurity division of your organization typically needs to worry about. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Spider honeypot</h3>\n\n\n<p>You already know about web crawlers or “spiders” — the bots that scan the contents of a website. Google uses these web crawlers to index the pages of your website and display them in relevant search results. </p>\n\n\n<p>But web crawlers are also used by hackers to discover vulnerabilities in websites. Spider honeypots are therefore designed to attract these bots to identify weaknesses in a web application or website.</p>\n\n\n<p>By simulating your web application and inviting these crawlers to do their work, you can study their behavior as they try to find a way in. This will help your team identify any specific attack patterns or common exploits, and take the necessary measures to protect your enterprise against web-based attacks. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Malware honeypot</h3>\n\n\n<p>If your organization has a malware problem, this type of honeypot can help you get to the bottom of it. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malware honeypots are designed to emulate systems or services that are usually affected by malicious software. Your security team can use this system to study the origins and workings of the malware in a controlled environment. </p>\n\n\n<p>This will enable them to implement effective measures against this threat. For example, they might develop a sturdier and more intelligent antivirus program for your enterprise.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Decoy database</h3>\n\n<p>One of the most common threats for enterprises is a data breach. If your company stores sensitive information, like customer details and financial records, it could be an attractive target among hackers.</p>\n\n\n<p>A decoy database is a type of honeypot that entices attackers who are looking to steal your data. It mimics your organization’s database but, of course, the information it contains would be fake. </p>\n\n\n<p>This type of honeypot can help you spot vulnerabilities in your database and study the techniques hackers use to access your data. This way, you’ll be able to implement stricter access controls in your database and develop more effective protection solutions.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Client honeypot</h3>\n\n<p>Client honeypots are another popular decoy. These mimic client‑side applications and personal devices.</p>\n\n<p>For example, you might set up a client honeypot to find security flaws in your company’s applications and software. This can be particularly useful if you have a large number of employees or customers using an online app. For instance, you might create a client honeypot for a learning management system (LMS) or an ecommerce app for loyal shoppers.</p>\n\n\n<p>A client honeypot serves as a trap for hackers that target enterprise software or web applications. Plus, it enables you to find better ways to protect your users from potential exploits. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Honeynet</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is possibly the most advanced decoy you could opt for. Basically, a honeynet is a large network of interconnected honeypots. It’s meant to emulate a complete enterprise network. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honeynets can be very useful in studying sophisticated cyberattacks and testing your company’s overall security. By implementing this strategy, your security team can gain a deeper understanding of the evolving techniques used by cyber criminals. </p>\n\n\n<p>These insights will then help them develop a comprehensive security strategy for your enterprise.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The different tiers of honeypot deployment</h2>\n\n<p>Each type of honeypot that we outlined above can be implemented on different levels. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the main tiers of honeypot deployment.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pure honeypots</h3>\n\n<p>Pure honeypots are designed to appear as real as possible, so they can attract highly skilled attackers. They are a form of high‑interaction honeypots (which we’ll be looking at more closely in a minute) and are deployed with minimal interaction capabilities.</p>\n\n<p>Security professionals use pure honeypots to gather in‑depth information about the strategies employed by sophisticated attackers. In particular, they’re concerned with tactics that can affect an organization’s entire system. For example, they can gain valuable insights into previously unknown vulnerabilities in your network.</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Low-interaction</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Low-interaction honeypots have limited interaction capabilities and only emulate specific parts of a real system. This makes them easier to deploy and manage compared to high-interaction honeypots. As such, they’re mostly ideal for analyzing common attacks. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low-interaction honeypots simulate services and applications at a basic level. This enables your security team to capture basic data without exposing your real (and potentially vulnerable) systems. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these honeypots do not provide the same level of depth as more advanced systems, they can be quite effective in detecting known threats and preventing attacks. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Mid-interaction</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mid-interaction honeypots offer a moderate level of realism and interaction. They’re built to emulate different services and applications, providing more “exploit opportunities” for attackers. </p>\n\n\n<p>With these honeypots, your security team can observe malicious activities in a relatively realistic setting. This enables them to collect more detailed data and fine‑tune your company’s existing security measures.</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. High-interaction</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-interaction honeypots provide the most authentic simulation of real-world systems and applications. Unlike low or mid-interaction honeypots, they allow attackers to interact with a full-fledged, genuine environment. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>These honeypots are set up with real operating systems and applications. This makes them highly attractive to attackers seeking valuable targets. </p>\n\n\n<p>As you can probably tell, these high‑interaction honeypots carry a higher risk as they use a legitimate environment, but they offer unparalleled insights into advanced attacks. Plus, they enable your team to study zero‑day vulnerabilities (more on this in a minute) and develop effective strategies to counter these sophisticated threats.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The benefits of honeypots in cybersecurity</h2>\n\n\n<p>We’ve already touched upon the benefits of honeypots for your company’s cybersecurity. But let’s take a closer look at how they can help protect your organization. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Identifying zero‑day exploits and vulnerabilities</h3>\n\n\n<p>A zero-day vulnerability is a flaw in software that is discovered by hackers before developers become aware of it. Therefore, attackers that target zero-day exploits do not give organizations or developers time to patch these vulnerabilities. </p>\n\n\n<p>As we have seen, honeypots (particularly high‑interaction ones) create a controlled environment where attackers engage with authentic applications. By analyzing the tactics used in these attacks, you can uncover unknown vulnerabilities in your company’s software. This will enable you to develop patches proactively or reach out to the software’s developers for an immediate fix.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Early threat detection and identification</h3>\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned earlier, honeypots are completely isolated from the real system. This means that any attack on the simulated environment will not affect your company’s operations. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, since they have no legitimate purpose, any activity in these environments will immediately spark suspicion. This means that your security team can detect threats at an early stage and respond to them swiftly. </p>\n\n\n<p>Early threat detection can prevent attacks from spreading to other parts of the network.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Real‑time attack monitoring and visualization</h3>\n\n\n<p>Honeypots also provide real-time attack monitoring. This means security professionals can observe the hackers’ movements and activities as they happen. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might use real-time visualization tools like graphs and heatmaps so that it’s easier to identify attack patterns and targets. Plus, these visualization tools can enable you to comprehend the scope and impact of the threats. This way, you can ensure that you implement a solution that encompasses all possible vulnerabilities. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Intruder profiling and attribution</h3>\n\n<p>When implemented effectively, honeypots can tell you a lot about the individuals behind the attack. This includes information about the attackers’ methods, preferred targets, and geographic locations.</p>\n\n<p>Your security team can then use this data to create intruder profiles. Such information is essential for understanding the motives behind the attacks.</p>\n\n<p>If you have accurate intruder profiles, you can collaborate with law enforcement agencies or other security organizations to track down cyber criminals.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The benefits of honeypots in spam detection</h2>\n\n<p>Honeypots can also be an effective measure in identifying and blocking spam. Here are a few different ways to use them for spam detection:</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Combating contact form spam</h3>\n\n\n<p>Contact form spam affects many businesses and can be very annoying. When it occurs, emails from genuine customers can be easily lost in a sea of spammy ones. </p>\n\n\n<p>Your organization can integrate honeypot fields within <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-add-wordpress-contact-form/\">contact forms</a> to trap automated bots. This way, you can automatically filter out spammy submissions and make it easier for your company’s administrators to manage their inboxes.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Preventing comment spam</h3>\n\n\n<p>Likewise, honeypots can be used to prevent comment spam. This can be particularly useful if you have a blog on your company website. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>When bots attempt to fill out the honeypot fields, their submissions will instantly be recognized as spam. <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-stop-comment-spam-in-wordpress/\">Stopping comment spam</a> can help you maintain a professional community. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Blocking malicious user registrations</h3>\n\n\n<p>Bots can also take over your user registration process. If you have an online store or membership site, these fake and malicious entries can make it nearly impossible to effectively manage your users. </p>\n\n\n<p>Honeypots can be integrated into <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-create-a-custom-wordpress-user-registration-form/\">user registration forms</a> to thwart malicious registrations. By taking a proactive approach, you can find an effective way to <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/how-to-stop-user-spam-registrations-in-wordpress/\">prevent fake accounts</a> and hackers from infiltrating your user database.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Preventing link spam and SEO manipulation</h3>\n\n\n<p>Spammers might also try to insert links into your content. Typically, they do this to <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/what-is-seo-spam-how-to-protect-your-wordpress-site/\">manipulate their search engine rankings</a> or drive users to harmful websites. </p>\n\n\n<p>Honeypots can be instrumental in preventing link spam. You can use honeypots strategically to attract spammers, study their behavior, and design more effective security solutions that guard access to edit permissions for your content.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Strengthening CAPTCHA and challenge‑response mechanisms</h3>\n\n\n<p>You might already be <a href=\"https://akismet.com/blog/wordpress-captcha/\">using CAPTCHA</a> and challenge-response mechanisms on your website. These make it more difficult for automated bots to submit spammy content, but they’re not always effective. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honeypots act as an additional layer of defense. They make it nearly impossible for malicious actors to interact with your forms undetected. </p>\n\n\n<p>But, you don’t need to implement CAPTCHAs to prevent spam on your website, and these kinds of tests are distracting for users and are likely negatively impacting your conversions.</p>\n\n<p>A comprehensive <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">anti‑spam solution like Akismet</a> can provide a better way to defend your site against spam.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1314\" height=\"630\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-19.png\" alt=\"Akismet homepage with the text \" />\n\n\n\n<p>This tool can identify spammy behavior without the need for a challenge-response mechanism. It does this with an AI-powered system that detects spam signals utilizing things like blocklists, IP addresses, names, and emails associated with suspicious activities. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it works with nearly 100% accuracy. </p>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Akismet offers a better user experience for visitors, as it doesn’t require them to solve any puzzles. Instead, it analyzes their behavior and blocks any suspicious entries.</p>\n\n<p>By combining honeypots with powerful tools like Akismet, you can ensure that only genuine human users can engage with your website.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Akismet: Taking spam protection to a new level</h2>\n\n\n<p>Akismet is a spam prevention plugin for WordPress websites. To date, it has blocked more than 525,000,000,000 spam comments. This is thanks to its powerful and advanced AI technology. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akismet is free for personal use and affordable for every level of commercial organization. The improved user experience and resulting boost in conversion rates will more than justify the investment in this valuable tool. If you’re ready to try it out, you can <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download it from the WordPress plugin directory</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"945\" height=\"423\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-20.png\" alt=\"Akismet plugin on WordPress.org \" class=\"wp-image-283660\" />\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you’re dealing with a larger volume of sensitive user data, you might want to request <a href=\"https://akismet.com/enterprise/\">a custom enterprise plan</a>. This will be tailored to your company’s needs and will give you access to personalized support.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of using Akismet?</h3>\n\n<p>Akismet offers an automated spam protection solution. It checks all submissions on your site and filters out spammy entries. This enables your admin team to handle queries more efficiently.</p>\n\n<p>Additionally, Akismet is a cloud‑based solution. This means that it doesn’t store any data on your website. As a result, it won’t have any impact on your website’s speed and performance.</p>\n\n\n<p>But perhaps the best thing about Akismet is that it integrates with a wide variety of tools. These include popular plugins like <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jetpack</a>, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, and Formidable Forms. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose Akismet over other spam protection solutions?</h3>\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering what makes Akismet a good alternative to other spam protection solutions. </p>\n\n\n<p>Unlike most anti‑spam tools, Akismet does not use CAPTCHA to block bots. This is typically a puzzle or challenge that users must complete to submit their entries. Its purpose is to make it more difficult for automated bots to submit spammy content.</p>\n\n<p>But CAPTCHA can be off‑putting for human users. It adds friction to the form submission process, and users with certain physical or cognitive disabilities might struggle to complete certain CAPTCHA prompts. This can cause people to abandon the entire process, and lead to fewer queries and conversions for your business.</p>\n\n\n<p>With Akismet, you won’t need to worry about CAPTCHAs creating a poor user experience for legitimate visitors. This plugin is powered by machine learning, which enables it to automatically spot spam through suspicious behavior. It does all of this in the background, without interfering with the experience of real users. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you’ll be able to provide a smoother user registration process. Plus, site visitors won’t need to complete a challenge just to send a quick message through your contact form or subscribe to your newsletter. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Akismet today.

Tim asked me to bring five things I’m excited about, five things I’ve changed my mind on in the past few years, and five things that are absurd or ridiculous but I still do, and that ended up being a pretty fun anchor for a two-and-a-half hour conversation, which you can watch here:</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>Or listen to on <a href=\"https://pocketcasts.com/\">Pocket Casts</a> or any podcast player, thanks to open standards:</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div> <div></div> </div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up having more than five things for each list, especially the excited one, but tried to edit it down.

It lets you handle everything from big stylistic changes to simple copy updates all in a single place. To help you make the most of this new way to WordPress, here are a few standout tools and features you’ll want to try. </p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Command Palette</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the Command Palette as the ultimate shortcut tool, letting you do more with less clicks and without needing to remember where each option might be. It’s available across the editing experience, whether you’re switching between templates in the Site Editor or toggling open settings in the Post Editor, with specific contextual options depending on where you are.<strong> </strong>You can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows to activate it and get started. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think of a command that doesn’t exist yet that would help with your workflow, open a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/new/choose\">feature request issue</a> so we can consider adding it.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\"><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/12/core-editor-improvement-commanding-the-command-palette/\"><em>Read more</em></a><em> about everything you can do with the Command Palette, including a </em><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-command-palette/#list-of-available-commands\"><em>list of available commands</em></a><em>. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Style Book</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Style Book helps you see all the blocks on your site as you style them. It’s built into the Styles section and can be toggled on/off as you’d like. This is especially useful when you’re aiming for design consistency for a client, trying to see how a change might impact a block that might not be visible, or wanting to get a different look at how a style variation will switch things up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work is also underway for the next WordPress release to <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56800\">integrate the Style Book into Style revisions</a> to allow for an at-a-glance view of changes made. </p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/how-to-use-the-wordpress-stylebook-with-your-block-theme/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about how best to use the Style Book.</em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Styling shortcuts</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you get a design just right—the color contrast, the perfect padding, the exact font size. Instead of needing to manually recreate the design or copy/paste the block to fill in with new content, you have two powerful options built into the editing experience: copy/paste styles and apply styles globally for all instances of the desired block. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copying and pasting styles is perfect for more nuanced and smaller changes, like headings on a landing page that you intentionally want to be distinct. Applying changes globally is best for blocks like buttons and for changes that are likely to work well across layouts, like setting a specific border radius and color. This helps keep the creativity flowing and makes achieving design consistency across your site much easier.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/02/01/core-editor-improvement-strengthening-style-options/\"><em>Read more</em></a><em> about the various styling options available. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distraction free mode</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like an artist might need to take a few steps back to view their in-progress artwork, sometimes we need to get a different view of our site before diving back in. Distraction free offers you that alternate perspective with a pared-down experience that lets you focus purely on creating, like:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hiding the top toolbar until one intentionally hovers over where it typically sits.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing many of the top toolbar buttons.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically closing any open sidebars, like block settings and list view. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiding the insertion point indicator, reducing visual clutter. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiding the block toolbar for individual blocks.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s worth noting that this mode can be used when writing posts and pages too! For an added bonus and more views of your site, you can use the preview options to see how your site might look across different devices.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/distraction-free-mode/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about making the most out of Distraction free mode. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patterns</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterns are a collection of blocks that make it simple to add complex layouts and designs to any WordPress site without starting from scratch. They save time by reducing duplication and ensuring consistency. You can create your own, use theme-provided patterns, or <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/patterns/\">lean on the Pattern Directory</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also specify whether to sync your patterns so that one change applies to all parts of your site, or to keep them unsynced so you can customize each instance. For any patterns you create, you can assign categories to make them easy to find and organize. Use the Inserter with easy filtering options to add patterns to your content, and head to the dedicated Patterns section in the Site Editor to create or edit patterns to your liking. </p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/creating-your-own-custom-synced-or-non-synced-patterns/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about creating patterns. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List View</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>List View is the go-to tool for navigating between layers of your content, selecting exactly what you need, and getting a sense of how everything fits together. Similar to the Style Book and Distraction free mode, you can toggle it on/off as you’d like. It’s currently visible in the Top Toolbar and will remain open as you navigate through your site. Beyond providing a simple view of the layers of your site, there are more recent additions to List View that makes the tool even more powerful:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>See previews of your images for Image and Gallery blocks reflected in List View to make it easier to find what you need.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Escape key deselects blocks to make it easier to purely preview your content without any blocks selected. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lean on a keyboard shortcut for duplicating blocks quickly: CMD+Shift+D for Mac or Control + Shift + D for Windows. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag and drop blocks at any level directly within List View.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rename Group blocks and have the custom name reflected in List View for improved organization.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s how a few of these improvements come together:</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/list-view/\"><em>Learn more</em></a><em> about using List View. </em></p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" />\n\n\n\n<p>As you explore these tools, remember that, except for the Style Book, you can use these features when writing posts and pages too. Expect the Site Editor and other tools to evolve with each release.

Lead generation is a constant challenge for businesses of all sizes and industries, but there’s a solution. A focused lead generation strategy attracts high‑quality leads, converts them into customers, and ultimately grows your business.</p>\n\n<p>Here are 20 tried‑and‑proven lead generation tips and best practices that can up your game in 2024 and beyond.</p>\n\n\n<span id=\"more-283573\"></span>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Define your ideal customer profile (ICP)</h2>\n\n\n<p>An ideal customer profile (ICP) is an informative blueprint that outlines the specific characteristics and needs of the customers who stand to benefit the most from your product or service. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICPs cover aspects like demographics, and psychographics that offer a 360-degree view of your ideal customer’s persona. Insights into your target customer’s age, location, values, and desires help you create tailored strategies that resonate deeply with your audience. </p>\n\n\n<p>The result? Reduced marketing waste, satisfied customers, and greater return on investment (ROI).</p>\n\n<p>Here are some <a href=\"https://offers.hubspot.com/customer-profile-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">templates from HubSpot</a> to get started.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"814\" height=\"626\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image.png\" alt=\"customer profile template with information like demographics and behaviors\" class=\"wp-image-283577\" />\n\n\n<p>Targeted lead generation strategies that keep an ideal customer in mind are like precision tools that allow you to reach the right audience and speak directly to their unique worldview.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use market research to know your audience inside and out</h2>\n\n\n<p>Market research involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data and insights about your target audience, competitors, and industry trends to guide your lead generation strategy. </p>\n\n\n<p>Think surveys, focus groups, in‑depth interviews, social media listening, and competitive analysis. These are just a few market research methods that provide nuggets into consumer behavior and preferences.</p>\n\n<p>Comprehensive market research pinpoints your target audience, the marketing channels they use, and what they’re interested in.</p>\n\n<p>Some tips on conducting market research:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Define clear objectives</strong>. Set specific research objectives. Determine what you want to learn about your audience, competitors, and industry trends to get focused and actionable results.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Use multiple methods</strong>. Combine multiple methods to get a more holistic view of your audience.</li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Segment your audience</strong>. Divide your target audience into segments based on demographics, psychographics, or other relevant criteria. </li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Engage your audience</strong>. Encourage customer feedback and reviews. Engaging with your audience through surveys or feedback shows you value their opinions.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Evaluate competitors</strong>. Study your competitors to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Identify gaps in the market that your product or service fills, and use this knowledge to differentiate yourself.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Solve problems and attract leads with valuable blog content</h2>\n\n<p>Create blog content that answers your target audience’s questions and builds trust and authority. This content positions your brand as a reliable source of valuable information, driving leads to your website.</p>\n\n<p>Blogging is powerful — most respondents in a <a href=\"https://www.orbitmedia.com/blog/blogging-statistics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey</a> reported that it drives results like website traffic, brand awareness, and, of course, lead generation.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-1.png\" alt=\"pie chart that shows 80% of bloggers are driving results in 2023\" class=\"wp-image-283578\" />\n\n\n<p>Not sure where to start? Create valuable blog content with these tips:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Use research to back it up</strong>. Support your content with data and research from credible sources. You gain authority and credibility this way.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Make it product‑led, but not sales‑y</strong>. Address your audience’s pain points and questions while subtly showcasing how your product or service can fit into a solution. The focus should be on providing the solutions, not a hard sell of your offer.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Keep the call to action (CTA) subtle</strong>. Guide readers to take action in a friendly and non‑intrusive way. Use CTAs that spark engagement, like inviting them to read more content on your blog.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Use stories and examples</strong>. Incorporate real‑life stories and examples that illustrate the points you’re making. Your content will be more relatable and easier to understand.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Solve specific problems</strong>. Focus on solving one or two specific problems in each blog post rather than trying to cover too much ground. Reading becomes more enjoyable and in‑depth as a result.</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>Content marketing is one of the most proven lead generation best practices. It consistently delivers strong results and can be used in a variety of ways. If this isn’t yet a priority, consider making it one in the near future.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use lead magnets and gated content to capture leads</h2>\n\n<p>Have you ever seen one of those pop‑up offers promising you a valuable resource like an eBook, report, webinar, or template in exchange for your email address? Those are lead magnets.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"833\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-2.png\" alt=\"WordPress VIP lead capture with a form and CTA to read a report\" class=\"wp-image-283579\" />\n\n\n\n<p>Lead magnets and gated content act as friendly invitations for your audience to exchange their contact information for something of value. </p>\n\n\n<p>Offering relevant and informative resources captures quality leads and shows your willingness to provide solutions. You can then use the data to send targeted offers and build a relationship with your audience.</p>\n\n\n<p>Make sure your lead magnet is high-quality, is relevant to your audience, and aligns with your overall content strategy. </p>\n\n\n<p>Design the lead magnet and pitch your gated content in a way that provides value to the reader, not as a pushy sales tactic.</p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reduce friction on your lead capture forms </h2>\n\n\n<p>Simplify the information you request from potential leads. It reduces the time and effort required for users to submit their information. The result is a better experience that results in higher conversion rates.</p>\n\n<p>Here’s what a lead gen form looks like from Litmus:</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1067\" height=\"879\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-3.png\" alt=\"lead capture from Litmus with a form that includes email, name, job title, and a few other fields\" class=\"wp-image-283580\" />\n\n\n<p>Include this information in your lead capture form:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Name</strong>. Ask for the visitor’s first name to personalize your communication.</li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Email address</strong>. This is the most crucial information for contact and follow-up. </li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You could end your form right here and likely get the maximum conversion rate possible. However, the effectiveness of your campaigns that follow this lead capture may hinge upon knowing a bit more about the visitor to segment communications. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the case, you may consider asking a few more questions, like: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Company name (if applicable)</strong>. The user’s company helps sales reps understand how to approach a lead and can provide you with better data about who’s responding to your offers.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Job title (if applicable)</strong>. The user’s role within their company is valuable for segmenting and tailoring your messaging.</li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Location (optional)</strong>. The location is useful for regional targeting or understanding your audience better. </li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Industry or interest (if applicable)</strong>. If your lead generation efforts are specific to certain industries or interests (or even product lines), include a dropdown menu or checkboxes for users to select from to tailor your communication.</li>\n\n<li><strong>How they heard about you (optional)</strong>. Understand how users discovered your brand to get insights into your marketing channels’ performance.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Replace CAPTCHA with an AI anti-spam solution </h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CAPTCHAs are those annoying puzzles or tests you often come across online that require you to prove you’re not a robot by solving them. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>These <em>do </em>serve an important purpose, however. Anti-spam solutions stop unwanted or malicious content or actions, like spam comments and emails, from infiltrating websites. </p>\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, CAPTCHAs lead to a poor user experience and potential drop‑offs from your most important visitors. A study shows that <a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/17/why-annoying-captcha-is-still-big-for-google-e-commerce-in-bot-battle.html\">19% of adults</a> in the United States abandoned online transactions in 2021 when CAPTCHAs appeared.</p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://akismet.com/\">Akismet is a powerful anti-spam service</a> that detects and blocks spam comments, form submissions, and other unwanted interactions <strong>without requiring users to complete a puzzle, check a box, or jump through a hoop</strong>. Its <a href=\"https://akismet.com/features/\">key features</a> include real-time spam detection, comment moderation, protection against harmful links, and the ability to learn and adapt to new spam patterns. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"824\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-4.png\" alt=\"Akismet website with information about the zero-friction tool\" class=\"wp-image-283581\" />\n\n\n<p>Visitors find a trustworthy and safe environment on your website thanks to these features. It creates a positive user experience, increases engagement, and improves the chances of converting visitors into leads.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Let prospects test your product with free trials or demos</h2>\n\n\n<p>Free trials or demos give prospects a taste of your tool by allowing them to experience its features and benefits firsthand before making a commitment. Types of free trials include: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Limited‑time trial</strong>. Users access the full product for a limited period, after which they subscribe or purchase.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Feature‑limited trial</strong>. Users can access the product’s basic features for free but upgrade to access advanced functionalities.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Demo or guided tour</strong>. Prospects get a walkthrough of the product’s capabilities, often with a sales representative explaining its value.</li></ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Jetpack’s AI Assistant, <a href=\"https://jetpack.com/ai/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an AI writing tool</a> built directly into the WordPress editor, offers a variation of the limited-time trial using credits. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"740\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-5.png\" alt=\"plan options for Jetpack AI\" class=\"wp-image-283582\" />\n\n\n\n<p>This is a strong offer because it explains the benefit right in the first sentence, “Try our AI Assistant for free to <strong>boost your content creation.</strong>” </p>\n\n\n\n<p>They’re also transparent about long-term pricing with the paid information directly next to the free trial breakdown. </p>\n\n\n<p>The goal is to make prospects feel comfortable, informed, and excited about your product during this phase. Think about ways you can adjust your trials or language to feel safer for prospects.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Showcase your value proposition with compelling case studies</h2>\n\n\n<p>A value proposition is a clear statement that explains how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a need for your target audience. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>SaaS marketers often use case studies to boost sales. Why? Because they provide real-world examples of how your solution addresses similar challenges for other customers. They work as social proof. </p>\n\n\n<p>Here’s a case study from Mailchimp:</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"851\" height=\"688\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-6.png\" alt=\"case study page from Mailchimp with a video\" class=\"wp-image-283583\" />\n\n\n\n<p>The video immediately makes the case study personal. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case study also highlights stats and customer quotes, which further increase its perceived authority. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1081\" height=\"465\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-7.png\" alt=\"Mailchimp landing page with stats and testimonials\" class=\"wp-image-283584\" />\n\n\n<p>It’s also skimmable. Mailchimp breaks down the case study with headers like “The challenge” and “The tools”. The word length also falls just under 1,000 words.</p>\n\n<p>Balancing emotions and hard data in case studies connects with the audience while providing compelling evidence to back up your value proposition.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Turn satisfied customers into brand advocates</h2>\n\n\n<p>Convert happy customers into brand advocates by using their positive experiences to spread the word about your brand through recommendations, reviews, and social sharing. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your existing customers are a powerful source of credibility and influence. This approach works for lead generation because it taps into the trustworthiness of online reviews — <a href=\"https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">46% of consumers</a> consider them as reliable as personal recommendations from friends or family. </p>\n\n\n<p>Want to encourage reviews?</p>\n\n<p>Try sending a reminder email to encourage people to leave reviews. Make the process as simple as possible. For example, you might include a button that navigates directly to the review form.</p>\n\n<p>You could also incentivize customers by allowing them to enter a drawing to win a $100 voucher.</p>\n\n\n<p>Once customers leave reviews, repurpose them as posts on social media platforms. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Create a referral program </h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Referral programs are systems where brands reward existing customers for recommending a product or service to others. </p>\n\n\n<p>People trust recommendations from friends and family members, so word‑of‑mouth marketing can lead to higher conversion rates and improved brand loyalty.</p>\n\n\n<p>PayPal, for example, has a popular referral program. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1223\" height=\"817\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-8.png\" alt=\"landing page about PayPal\'s referral program\" class=\"wp-image-283585\" />\n\n\n<p>If you refer it to someone, you and they earn $10. It’s a win‑win situation — you get up to $100, and PayPal gets more customers.</p>\n\n\n<p>But a referral program only works well if you offer the right incentives. </p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://info.saasquatch.com/rs/162-BJJ-156/images/StateOfReferralMarketing-SaaSquatch-V1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research</a> shows that dollar credit is the most common referral program reward type, used in over 50% of programs for promoters and referred friends. Other incentives include percent discounts, gift cards, subscription time, cash, and points.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Invest in user‑generated content to build credibility</h2>\n\n<p>User‑generated content (UGC) is any content created by unpaid contributors — typically customers or users — rather than the brand itself.</p>\n\n\n<p>UGC works well — <a href=\"https://715411.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/715411/TINT%20-%20Downloads/State_of_Social_and_UGC_2023_TINT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research</a> shows that prospective customers consider it the most trustworthy content. </p>\n\n\n<p>Why? UGC highlights genuine insights and experiences to create a sense of credibility and reliability.</p>\n\n\n<p>Chipotle’s entire social feed, for example, is full of UGC. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"739\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-9.png\" alt=\"Chipotle Instagram account featuring lots of user-generated content\" class=\"wp-image-283586\" />\n\n\n<p>Three ways to generate UGC:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Run a giveaway or contest</strong>. A contest encourages customers to share their experiences with your product or service in exchange for a chance to win a prize. It builds engagement and highlights real user satisfaction and enthusiasm.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Use a branded hashtag</strong>. Branded hashtags invite customers to share their content. These hashtags make UGC easily discoverable, increasing its reach and impact.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Collaborate with creators and influencers</strong>. Content creators and influencers help your UGC reach a broader audience. These individuals often have dedicated and engaged followers who trust their recommendations and experiences.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Use social listening to engage with potential leads</h2>\n\n\n<p>Social listening involves monitoring social media channels and online platforms to track and analyze conversations, mentions, and trends related to your brand or industry in real-time. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>People now spend an average of <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/433871/daily-social-media-usage-worldwide/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two and a half hours</a> on social media every day. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"730\" height=\"466\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-10.png\" alt=\"graph showing minutes per day spent on social media over an 11-year span\" class=\"wp-image-283587\" />\n\n\n<p>Social listening allows you to tune in to conversations, identify leads, and engage with potential customers you might have otherwise missed.</p>\n\n\n<p>Set up alerts to receive notifications about specific keywords or mentions. Social listening also gives you more visibility into brand sentiment. </p>\n\n\n<p>The result is a more proactive approach in your lead generation process — you can respond quicker, initiate conversations, and nurture potential leads through proactive engagement.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Expand your reach with cross‑promotion partnerships</h2>\n\n<p>Cross‑promotion partnerships, also known as brand collaborations, are two brands joining forces to promote each other. These partnerships are powerful because they introduce your brand to a new audience that’s likely to already be interested in what you offer.</p>\n\n\n<p>Let’s say you sell fitness gear, and you team up with a healthy snack brand. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both kinds of products are used by people interested in improving their health. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fitness-loving customers might discover those tasty snacks, and their snack fans might want your awesome gear. These collaborations boost both brands’ visibility and trustworthiness. </p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Use influencer marketing to reach new audiences</h2>\n\n<p>Collaborate with individuals who have a significant and engaged following in your niche or industry to tap into their established audience and credibility.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://influencermarketinghub.com/ebooks/Influencer_Marketing_Benchmark_Report_2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90% of respondents</a> in a survey consider influencer marketing to be effective.</p>\n\n\n<p>Skincare brand, La Roche Posay, for example, collaborates with Dr. Mamina Turegano, MD, a TikTok influencer and certified dermatologist. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"739\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-11.png\" alt=\"TikTok video of a collaboration between a doctor and skincare brand\" class=\"wp-image-283588\" />\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJwVy6yb/\">Source</a></p>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Marina’s expertise adds a lot of authority to the content, making it a powerful tool in reaching and engaging a specific audience.</p>\n\n\n<p>Her content is not just promotional — she delivers real value to her followers and backs up her advice with knowledge and experience.</p>\n\n\n<p>Collaborate with influencers who fit your brand and resonate with your audience for better results.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Host a virtual summit to build thought leadership</h2>\n\n\n<p>Virtual summits are online events where experts share insights on a specific topic over multiple sessions or days. </p>\n\n\n<p>These events establish credibility, build trust, and increase industry authority, positioning you as a go‑to source for information and solutions.</p>\n\n<p>Adobe Summit, for example, is a hybrid virtual summit for customers who use Adobe’s digital experience tools.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1134\" height=\"940\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-12.png\" alt=\"Adobe Summit landing page with information about the event\" class=\"wp-image-283589\" />\n\n\n\n<p>When hosting a virtual summit, follow Adobe’s lead by inviting authoritative speakers who are experts in your field. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"1393\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-13.png\" alt=\"Adobe Summit page with information keynotes\" class=\"wp-image-283590\" />\n\n\n\n<p>Promote the event well in advance. Adobe, for example, promotes the summit at least six months ahead of time. This builds anticipation and attracts a larger audience. </p>\n\n\n<p>Also, they provide sneak peeks of the sessions, allowing their audience to gauge whether the summit is worth attending.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"800\" height=\"625\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-14.png\" alt=\"list of sessions from Adobe Summit\" class=\"wp-image-283591\" />\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure virtual summits help you get new leads, use smart tactics like sign-up forms, materials people can download, and chances for attendees to connect with each other. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tricks help you collect info and generate leads from attendees and keep these prospects engaged even after the summit. </p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Create a podcast series to showcase your expertise</h2>\n\n<p>Podcasts are the new frontier for brand visibility and engagement. Currently, <a href=\"https://www.edisonresearch.com/the-infinite-dial-2021-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">38% of Americans</a> over age 12 —109 million people — listen to podcasts monthly. They provide a unique platform to share insights, connect with audiences, and establish authority in a format that’s both convenient and increasingly popular.</p>\n\n<p>Bloomberg, for example, has a podcast that focuses on financial and economic insights. It positions the brand as a trusted source for expert analysis and helps it stay connected with its audience.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1798\" height=\"878\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image12.png\" alt=\"Bloomburg Masters in Business podcast\" class=\"wp-image-283592\" />\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips for creating an engaging podcast series:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li>Focus on a specific topic or niche that aligns with your brand’s expertise and target audience’s interests.</li>\n\n<li>Outline episodes, create a content calendar, and build a consistent posting schedule.</li>\n\n<li>Share your podcast episodes on social media, your website, and through email marketing to reach a wider audience.</li>\n\n<li>Invite industry experts or guests relevant to your niche to provide diverse perspectives.</li>\n\n<li>Optimize your podcast titles, descriptions, and keywords to improve discoverability on podcast platforms.</li>\n\n<li>Maintain a regular publishing schedule, so your audience knows when to expect content and what each episode will include.</li></ul>\n\n\n<p>A podcast is a great way to establish your brand’s authority, connect with your audience, and tap into the growing trend.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Use webinars to educate and engage potential leads</h2>\n\n\n<p>Webinars are online seminars or workshops that allow you to present information, interact with your audience in real time, and provide valuable education on a specific topic or subject. </p>\n\n\n<p>A study by the Content Marketing Institute showed that <a href=\"https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/b2b-2023-research-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">47% of B2B marketers</a> said webinars produced the best results in 2021. It’s easy to see why: they offer an interactive learning experience and encourage engagement which builds your authority and relationship with potential leads.</p>\n\n<p>AI‑powered content tool, Clearscope, for example, hosts regular webinars with industry experts.</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"895\" height=\"853\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-15.png\" alt=\"Clearscope webinars list on their website\" class=\"wp-image-283593\" />\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips on getting webinars right:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Choose relevant topics</strong>: Focus on topics that address your audience’s challenges and interests to ensure engagement and relevance.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Create an interactive Q&A session</strong>. Include interactive Q&A sessions to encourage audience participation and address their specific queries.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Invite experts</strong>. Collaborate with industry experts or influencers to lend credibility and attract a wider audience.</li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Promote it</strong>. Promote your webinar on social and through email. </li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow up</strong>. Follow up with attendees and provide additional resources or offers to guide leads further down the sales funnel.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Engage and qualify leads with live chat operators and bots</h2>\n\n\n<p>Live chat operators and bots qualify leads by having conversations with website visitors. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>They ask questions to figure out if a visitor is a good fit for your product or service. If they are, the bots send those leads to the right place for follow-up. </p>\n\n\n<p>Lead qualification ensures you focus your sales and marketing efforts on individuals who are genuinely interested and likely to convert into paying customers. A strong focus increases efficiency and increases conversion rates.</p>\n\n<p>Tailor bots with specific filters and ask relevant questions. Qualifying questions include:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li>What brings you to our website today?</li>\n\n<li>Are you looking for a specific product or service?</li>\n\n<li>What is your marketing budget or price range?</li>\n\n<li>When do you plan to make a decision or purchase?</li>\n\n<li>Have you used similar products/services before?</li>\n\n<li>Do you have any specific requirements or preferences?</li></ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Use retargeting to bring back lost leads</h2>\n\n\n<p>Retargeting involves displaying tailored advertisements to individuals who’ve previously visited your website or engaged with your brand but didn’t take the desired action. </p>\n\n\n<p>It reminds potential customers of their initial interest and gives them a second chance to convert, ultimately improving conversion rates and ROI.</p>\n\n\n<p>Suppose you visit Old Navy’s website, browse through some clothing items, but leave without making a purchase. Later, you start seeing Old Navy ads showing the exact items you looked at. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"585\" height=\"602\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-16.png\" alt=\"retargeting ad from Old Navy\" class=\"wp-image-283594\" />\n\n\n<p>That’s retargeting in action — it gives you a nudge to come back and complete your purchase. It’s a smart lead gen strategy to re‑engage lost prospects and turn potential customers into actual ones.</p>\n\n<p>Retargeting only works when you don’t overdo it. Strike a balance and provide relevant, personalized content that genuinely reconnects with the audience’s interests and needs.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Target key decision makers with account‑based advertising</h2>\n\n<p>An account‑based marketing strategy creates customized lead generation campaigns just for important leads to win their business.</p>\n\n\n<p>A targeted focus leads to optimal use of resources, a direct link to key decision makers, and increased chances of landing big deals. </p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.gartner.ca/en/sales/insights/b2b-buying-journey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gartner’s research</a> shows that the typical buying group for a complex B2B solution involves six to ten decision makers. Account‑based advertising targets these decision makers with specific ads and messages to address their unique needs and concerns.</p>\n\n<p>Here’s an example of an Indeed ad that targets decision makers at Pepsi:</p>\n\n\n<img width=\"1202\" height=\"624\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-17.png\" alt=\"ad from Indeed targeting Pepsi employees\" class=\"wp-image-283595\" />\n\n\n<p>So, how do you create ads that speak to these individuals?</p>\n\n<p>Start with their challenges. Understand what keeps them up at night and tailor your messaging to provide solutions to these issues. Focus on the benefits of your product or service that directly address their concerns.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about lead conversion? What are proven best practices?</h2>\n\n\n<p>You’ve attracted leads to your business — what now? Focus on converting these leads into loyal customers. Here are some best practices to maximize your lead conversion rate:</p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Follow up with leads to maintain their interest</h3>\n\n\n<p>Following up with leads reminds them about your business and shows you care about their needs. Persistence matters — studies suggest it can take <a href=\"https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2021/03/18/how-to-follow-up-with-sales-leads\">seven to ten interactions</a> for a lead to become a customer. </p>\n\n\n<p>When sending follow‑up emails, keep them brief, upbeat, and focused on offering something valuable to the lead. Short and positive messages ensure your communication stays engaging and increase the chances of turning leads into loyal customers.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Develop a lead scoring system to prioritize leads</h3>\n\n\n<p>A lead scoring system is a method of evaluating and ranking leads based on their level of interest and likelihood to convert into customers. You identify the best prospects by assigning numerical values to different attributes and behaviors. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You focus your efforts and resources on leads with the highest conversion potential with this system. </p>\n\n\n<p>Scoring leads allows you to optimize your time and resources and maximize your return on investment. Consider these lead scoring tips:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Set thresholds</strong>. Define specific criteria a lead must meet to be considered “sales ready,” like a minimum score indicating high interest or engagement.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Establish rules</strong>. Create rules for how leads are scored based on actions, like opening emails, visiting pricing pages, or downloading resources.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Assign points</strong>. Assign numerical values to different lead behaviors, with higher scores for actions that show stronger interest or intent to purchase.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Review and adjust</strong>. Monitor and refine your lead scoring system as you gather more data and insights to ensure accuracy.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Collaborate with sales</strong>. Establish what constitutes a qualified lead and adjust scoring criteria accordingly to improve lead handoffs and conversions.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use a CRM to manage and track your leads</h3>\n\n\n<p>A customer relationship management (CRM) tool, like <a href=\"https://jetpackcrm.com/\">Jetpack CRM</a>, is your go-to for staying organized with leads. It keeps all lead info in one place, simplifies communication, and automates tasks. </p>\n\n\n\n<img width=\"1600\" height=\"784\" src=\"https://akismet455732288.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-18.png\" alt=\"Jetpack CRM homepage with the text \" />\n\n\n\n<p>With Jetpack CRM, sort and track leads, follow their interactions, and watch their journey closely. This makes it easier to give them personalized attention, prioritize who to reach out to, and nurture leads. Plus, it provides smart data to make decisions that boost your chances of converting prospects into loyal customers. </p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Implement email marketing to nurture leads</h3>\n\n\n<p>Stay in touch with potential customers through email marketing and provide them with valuable content, updates, and offers that keep your brand top of mind. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering tailored messages at the right time guides leads through the buying journey and builds trust. </p>\n\n\n<p>Divide your leads into groups based on interests, behaviors, or demographics to send relevant content to each segment. Use personalization techniques to address leads by name and tailor content to their needs and preferences.</p>\n\n<p>Develop informative and engaging content that addresses your leads’ pain points and interests. You can offer blog posts, eBooks, webinars, or exclusive offers. Set up automated email sequences that deliver a series of messages over time. Gradually introduce leads to your brand, products, and services.</p>\n\n<p>Focus on solving problems and providing value in your emails. Show leads how your offerings benefit them with success stories, testimonials, and case studies.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Use customer feedback to improve your sales process</h3>\n\n<p>Gather feedback from customers through surveys, reviews, and direct communication. Encourage honest opinions about their experience with your sales team and product. Here’s how to make the most of the feedback you get:</p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Analyze responses</strong>. Review the feedback to identify recurring themes, issues, or areas for improvement. Look for patterns in what customers appreciate and where they face challenges.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Prioritize feedback</strong>. Categorize feedback into critical issues that need immediate attention and areas for long‑term improvement. This ensures you tackle the most pressing concerns first.</li>\n\n<li><strong>Adjust your sales approach</strong>. Based on feedback, refine your approach. Train your sales team to address common concerns and objections.</li></ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Follow up with customers to encourage repeat business and referrals</h3>\n\n\n<p>Stay in touch with your customers to build an ongoing relationship. A thank-you message after their purchase and asking how their experience was is always a great place to start. </p>\n\n\n<p>Also, keep them in the loop by letting them know about any new deals or products. If they have questions or issues, provide excellent support. Encourage them to refer friends by offering rewards and making it simple. Staying connected and showing appreciation keeps your customers loyal and earns new ones through their recommendations.</p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions</h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some common lead generation mistakes to avoid?</h3>\n\n\n<p>Common lead generation mistakes include not defining your target audience, neglecting data quality, and relying on a single lead generation channel. Failing to nurture leads, ignoring customer feedback, and neglecting mobile optimization can also hinder success. </p>\n\n\n<p>Make sure you measure and analyze your lead generation efforts so you can optimize them. Don’t forget personalization and adapt to evolving trends. Lead generation is more effective when you avoid these mistakes.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I improve my lead capture forms to maximize conversions?</h3>\n\n<p>Streamline the form by keeping it concise and requesting only essential information. Use a clear and compelling call‑to‑action (CTA) that conveys value and implement autofill and smart form features to reduce user effort. It’s also a good idea to A/B test different form layouts and CTA text to identify what resonates best with your audience. </p>\n\n<p>Lastly, reassure users about data security and provide social proof, like trust badges or testimonial snippets, to boost confidence. Regularly analyze form performance and iterate based on insights to optimize for higher conversions.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I use CAPTCHA on lead capture forms?</h3>\n\n<p>No, using traditional CAPTCHA can frustrate users and reduce conversion rates. Instead, use AI‑driven anti‑spam solutions like Akismet. This powerful tool filters out spam submissions while providing a seamless experience for genuine users. It also helps you maintain the security of your forms without subjecting users to the inconvenience and frustration of CAPTCHA.</p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Akismet, and how can it help with form conversion rates?</h3>\n\n<p>Akismet is an AI‑powered anti‑spam solution. It improves form conversion rates by filtering out spam submissions, ensuring you capture only legitimate leads.

I had the good fortune to live a happy childhood where I was very much supported by my parents, each in their own way, in my passions. They both taught me to trust myself and to try things out, for which I’m very grateful. When I was a child, personal computers were already democratized, but many people didn’t have one. This was my case until I was 10, when my parents decided to buy one.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon gaining access to my first computer, I was intrigued by how it works and the possibilities it offered. It allowed me to explore new creative way (so much time on Pivot Animator) and introduced me to the realm of online games! Unfortunately for my parents, my experimentation led to the death of two computers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a strong fondness for browser games like Travian, Shakes & Fidget, Hordes… It was this passion that led me into the world of content creation for the web. Spending a substantial amount of time on these games’ forums, a friend and I created our first forum for our gaming guild. Using an online forum creation tool, we could inject some code for customization—a kind of initiation into Content Management Systems (CMS) and coding for me! I remember thoroughly enjoying it, investing a lot of time in managing this small, private forum.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, as I entered high school, I finally obtained what felt like a treasure trove to me at that time – my very own personal computer! Enthused by graphic design, I began crafting visuals using a portable version of Photoshop, mainly for the gaming forums where I spent a significant amount of time. I dedicated myself to creating banners, avatars, and wallpapers centered around the game themes that united us, providing these creations for my friends and forum users.<br /></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discover-a-new-world\">Discover a new world</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a strong desire to pursue this creative path, so in 2014, I opted for a web design program in Laval. The curriculum covered a wide array of skills: programming, mathematics, graphics design, photography, video editing, among others. I’ve consistently found mathematical and logical areas challenging, making the foundational aspects of the course in these subjects quite laborious for me. Conversely, I derived immense enjoyment from everything connected to graphic design.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_571a4b-06\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/1-discover-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Man looking through the eye piece of a video camera.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6320\" /></div>\n\n\n\n<p>My first encounter with WordPress came during an internship related to my studies. The company I joined specialized in selling products online through a small e-commerce platform they had internally built using WordPress and WooCommerce. My tasks involved managing the website: integrating visuals, updating content, configuring plugins, improving the interface using a page builder, and handling product management. It evoked a similar feeling to when I first created my gaming blog—there was a multidisciplinary spirit and a creative vibe. I enjoyed this hybrid approach that blended both creativity and technical aspects.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leveling\">Leveling</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of 2016, I made a move to settle in the south of France and initiated my first freelance endeavor alongside pursuing additional training in web design at Aix-Marseille University. My freelance work involved various graphic design projects and community management tasks. Despite realizing the challenges of generating sufficient income, I remained motivated by the sense of independence and freedom. I began experimenting with WordPress through personal projects. Over the course of two years, I self-educated extensively. I ventured into managing web hosting and a small server, acquainted myself with Linux and Ubuntu, learned to customize themes, and made simple PHP additions. I navigated through trial and error, learning from mistakes, and gradually honed my overall understanding of the tool, becoming better at adapting it to suit my needs.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_5dc9a3-bf\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2-leveling-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"View down old European street from the third floor window,\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6321\" /></div>\n\n\n\n<p>During a second company internship, I embarked on creating a website where I developed my first custom theme using PHP templates and a few custom fields. It was simple, but I felt quite proud to build a theme “from scratch” without relying on page builders or additional tools. Shortly after, a significant milestone occurred in my freelance journey: I sold my first website! It was an e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce for a local publishing house. This venture introduced me to new challenges such as SEO, ensuring site security, and providing client training in WordPress usage and essential plugins for the site. I felt incredibly proud to apply my skills to a tangible project and gain professional recognition.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-team-up\">Team Up</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After that project, I wanted a change. I liked working on my own, but I felt very lonely. Every day felt the same, and I struggled to stay motivated. After feeling excited about selling my first ‘real’ web project, things started to feel like a series of failures, which stressed me out because my savings were running low. I sent out my resume hoping to find a job that suited me. I had a few interviews with digital service companies (named ESN in French), and it was disheartening. I felt like my wide range of skills didn’t matter, and whenever I talked about WordPress, they said it wasn’t ‘technical’ enough.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After six months of searching, I finally found a job I was excited about at a web agency in Avignon. It felt like I’d been looking for a long time, but now I see I was lucky to find this opportunity quickly. I started as a front-end developer and mostly worked on WordPress projects, doing various tasks like crafting or customizing themes, configuring or developing plugins, keeping websites running smoothly, training clients and agency staff. Collaborating with complementary roles where everyone understood each other’s tasks was so nice. Finding a common way to handle different missions was so exciting! This team synergy, the great diversity of tasks, sharing our experiences and perspectives, greatly boosted my motivation and skill development.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_8ff45f-a9\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/3-teamup.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/3-teamup-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Office space with tables covered with computer monitors.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6322\" /></a></div>\n\n\n\n<p>I worked for four years in this agency, whose strategy evolved significantly as its size exploded (from 20 to 100 employees in three years). Choices tended towards large, architectured projects with less hybrid solutions. Over time, I felt less connected to the agency’s decisions and the kind of clients they had. I wondered about the meaning and impact of my work. Was I making things better for people? Was what I did ethical? In the end, did it really matter? </p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a while, I’ve been interested in eco-design, privacy, and web quality topics. I’ve been reading a lot of articles written by folks that resonated to me (like Framasoft, Designers Éthiques, Whodunit, Opquast…). There was a stark disparity between my professional experience and their meaningful discourse. The work atmosphere also changed; I didn’t feel the teamwork that I enjoyed when I first started, but more like a ‘fog’ of disagreements and noises.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was tough for me: I worried about going to work and had trouble sleeping. I truly felt like my time was slipping away. I left in March 2023, and what a good decision it was!</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shifting-for-better\">Shifting for better</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I started by going back to my roots; I need to slow down, reassess my desires to figure out where I stand, to do something different. I return to Brittany and settle in Saint-Malo near my family. My primary desire is to reclaim my time. Seven years in the South… what I missed the most was the sea. I know I had the Mediterranean nearby, but strangely it didn’t have the same effect on me. I’ve always wanted to surf, so I buy an old used board, a wetsuit, and I go into the water almost every day! It clears my mind and boosts my confidence. I’ve never been much of an athlete, but this really resonates with me.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m not particularly skilled with my hands, nor have I learned how to do things. I want to learn, with ecological and sustainable issues in mind. I sign up for participatory workshops and meet incredibly interesting people. We share our experiences, our knowledge, life moments… and it feels good.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I start reading a lot again – science fiction, fantasy, essays, classics, and discussions on forums, especially those on wordpress.org.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I come across a discussion about creating a WordPress site using a smartphone. “Wait, is something like this possible?” Through the conversation, I notice the name of a contributor: <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/alice-robert-and-wordpress/\">Mark-Andrew</a>. I visit his site and I’m blown away; the guy creates sites for people who need them for free, “Free Websites for good Humans.” It’s simple, yet I find it incredibly inspiring. For me, Mark-Andrew has found a way to give meaning to his skills and align it with his lifestyle.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_f15404-e9\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/4-shifting-1.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/4-shifting-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Two pictures in one. On the left, someone surfing in the distance. On the right a man holding a wooden framework.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6324\" /></a></div>\n\n\n\n<p>That’s what I want to do. I’ve learned a lot about the WordPress ecosystem, and I continue to learn every day. Why not try to help those in need with this open, free, and community-oriented solution? That would make sense!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the path I want to travel – to make this accessible solution available to all who need it to express themselves and create. Furthermore, I want to contribute to the WordPress community. I’m considering starting with translations into French, but I hope to also contribute to the new site editor, which I find simply fantastic. We’ll see how it goes!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress taught the jack-of-all-trades kid to trust himself and feel useful. For that, thank you. And thank you, Mark-Andrew; I hope we’ll meet for a surfing session (On the water or the asphalt as you wish).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read me <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f60a.png\" alt=\"đźŠ\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" />\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fr\">ĂŠtre utile aux autres, avec WordPress</h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salut-internet\">Salut Internet</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Je suis nĂ© en 1996, Ă cheval entre la gĂ©nĂ©ration X et Y. J’ai eu la chance de vivre une enfance heureuse oĂą j’ai Ă©tĂ© très soutenu par mes parents, chacun Ă sa manière, dans mes passions. Ils m’ont tous deux appris Ă me faire confiance et Ă essayer des choses, pour cela, je conçois beaucoup de gratitude Ă leur Ă©gard. Quand j’Ă©tais enfant, l’informatique pour le grand publique Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ dĂ©mocratisĂ©, mais beaucoup de gens n’avaient pas d’ordinateur personnel. Ce qui fut mon cas jusqu’Ă mes 10 ans oĂą mes parents en on acquit un.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lorsque j’ai eu accès Ă ce premier ordinateur, j’ai tout de suite Ă©tĂ© intĂ©ressĂ© par son fonctionnement et ce que je pouvais faire avec. Cela m’a donnĂ© accès Ă de nouvelles activitĂ©s crĂ©atives (que de temps passĂ© sur Pivot Animator) et aussi Ă l’univers du jeu sur PC ! Malheureusement pour mes parents, mes expĂ©rimentations ont conduit Ă la mort de deux ordinateurs. J’aimais beaucoup les jeux sur navigateur (Travian, Shakes & Fidget, Hordes…) et c’est cet engouement qui m’a mis le doigt dans l’engrenage de la crĂ©ation de contenu pour le web. Je passais pas mal de temps sur les forums de ces jeux, et j’ai crĂ©Ă© avec un ami un premier forum pour notre guilde de joueurs. Nous utilisions un outil en ligne de crĂ©ation de forum dans lequel nous pouvions injecter un peu de code pour la personnalisation. Ma toute première expĂ©rience avec un CMS et du code en somme ! Je me souviens avoir adorĂ© ça et passĂ© un temps fou sur ce petit forum privĂ©.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>En 2011, arrivant au lycĂ©e, j’ai enfin eu accès au saint Graal, mon propre ordinateur personnel ! Je m’intĂ©ressais Ă la crĂ©ation graphique, et j’ai commencĂ© Ă produire des visuels avec une version portable de Photoshop, toujours pour les forums de jeux sur lesquels je passais du temps. Je crĂ©ais pour mes amis et des utilisateurs : des bannières, des avatars et fonds d’Ă©crans sur les thèmes des jeux qui nous rassemblaient.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tellement-de-choses-a-apprendre\">Tellement de choses Ă apprendre</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>J’avais envie de continuer sur cette voie crĂ©ative et je me suis orientĂ© en 2014 vers une formation de crĂ©ation pour le web Ă Laval. La palette de compĂ©tence enseignĂ©e Ă©tait assez vaste : programmation, mathĂ©matiques, infographie, photographie, vidĂ©o… J’ai toujours eu du mal avec les domaines mathĂ©matiques et logiques, et le socle de la formation sur ces sujets Ă©taient assez laborieux pour moi. En revanche, je prenais beaucoup de plaisir Ă tout ce qui rapportait Ă la crĂ©ation graphique.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_2c4713-e3\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/1-discover-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Man looking through the eye piece of a video camera.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6320\" /></div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ma première utilisation de WordPress s’est prĂ©sentĂ©e lors d’un stage liĂ© Ă ma formation. L’entreprise que j’avais rejoint vendais des produits en ligne sur un petit e-commerce qu’ils avaient crĂ©Ă© en interne avec WordPress et WooCommerce. J’avais pour tâche de m’occuper du site : intĂ©grer des visuels, mettre Ă jour les contenus, configurer des plugins, ajuster l’interface avec un constructeur de page, gĂ©rer les produits… Je retrouvais le mĂŞme sentiment que lorsque j’avais crĂ©Ă© mon premier blog de jeu, un esprit multidisciplinaire et un sentiment très crĂ©atif. J’aimais beaucoup cette approche très hybride de la crĂ©ation et de la technique.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-premiers-essais\">Premiers essais</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fin 2016, je suis parti m’installer dans le sud de la France oĂą j’ai commencĂ© ma première activitĂ© de freelance en parallèle d’une formation supplĂ©mentaire sur la crĂ©ation pour le web de l’universitĂ© d’Aix-Marseille. Je rĂ©alisais quelques missions de crĂ©ation graphique et de community management. Je me suis rendu compte qu’il Ă©tait difficile de dĂ©gager des revenus suffisants, mais j’Ă©tais motivĂ© par les sentiments d’indĂ©pendance et de libertĂ©. J’ai commencĂ© Ă tester et Ă expĂ©rimenter sur WordPress Ă travers des petits projets personnels. Pendant deux ans, j’ai appris en autodidacte. Je me suis essayĂ© Ă la gestion d’un hĂ©bergement web puis d’un petit serveur, j’ai dĂ©couvert Linux et Ubuntu, j’ai appris Ă personnaliser des thèmes, Ă faire quelques ajouts simples en PHP. Je tâtonnais, je faisais des erreurs, je corrigeais… Petit Ă petit, je forgeais ma culture gĂ©nĂ©rale sur l’outil et j’arrivais de mieux en mieux Ă l’adapter Ă mes besoins.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_4071c3-b2\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2-leveling-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"View down old European street from the third floor window,\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6321\" /></div>\n\n\n\n<p>Au cours d’un second stage en entreprise, je rĂ©alisais un site pour lequel je dĂ©veloppais mon premier thème sur mesure avec des templates PHP et quelques champs personnalisĂ©s. Il Ă©tait vraiment très simple, mais j’Ă©tais assez fier de bâtir un thème “from scratch” sans constructeur de page ni outils supplĂ©mentaires. Peu après, j’ai vĂ©cu une grande Ă©tape dans mon expĂ©rience de freelance : j’ai vendu un premier site internet ! Un e-commerce basĂ© sur WordPress et WooCommerce pour une petite maison d’Ă©dition locale. Je me suis confrontĂ© Ă de nouvelles problĂ©matiques : Le SEO, la sĂ©curitĂ©, la formation du client Ă l’usage de WordPress et des plugins supplĂ©mentaires sur lesquels reposait le site. J’Ă©tais super fier de mettre mes compĂ©tences au service d’un projet concret et de cette reconnaissance professionnelle.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-travailler-en-equipe\">Travailler en Ă©quipe</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Après ce projet, j’ai eu besoin de changement. J’Ă©tais content d’ĂŞtre indĂ©pendant dans mon travail, mais je me sentais très seul. Les journĂ©es se ressemblaient beaucoup et je n’arrivais plus Ă trouver la motivation pour continuer. Après l’euphorie d’avoir vendu mon premier “vrai” projet web, j’avais l’impression d’ĂŞtre dans une spirale d’Ă©checs et ça me stressait d’autant plus que mes Ă©conomies commençaient sĂ©rieusement Ă s’amenuiser. J’ai diffusĂ© mon CV en espĂ©rant trouver un poste qui puisse me correspondre. J’ai eu quelques entretiens avec des recruteurs d’entreprise de services numĂ©riques (ESN) et c’Ă©tait franchement dĂ©primant. J’avais le sentiment que mon profil touche-Ă -tout Ă©tait sans valeur, et Ă chaque fois que je parlais un peu de WordPress, on me rĂ©torquait que ce n’Ă©tait pas assez “technique”. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Après six mois de recherche, j’ai finalement trouvĂ© un poste qui me faisait super envie dans une agence web Ă Avignon. J’ai eu l’impression que cette pĂ©riode de recherche avait Ă©tĂ© très longue. Mais rĂ©trospectivement, je me sens chanceux d’avoir eu cette opportunitĂ© aussi rapidement. </p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_6c0ba1-95\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/3-teamup.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/3-teamup-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Office space with tables covered with computer monitors.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6322\" /></a></div>\n\n\n\n<p>J’ai dĂ©marrĂ© en tant que dĂ©veloppeur front-end et j’ai travaillĂ© en majoritĂ© sur les projets WordPress qui comportaient beaucoup de missions diffĂ©rentes : dĂ©veloppement ou personnalisation de thèmes, dĂ©veloppement ou configuration de plugins, maintenance rĂ©gulière des sites, formation des clients, formations des collaborateurs de l’agence… Je trouvais trop bien de bosser avec des mĂ©tiers complĂ©mentaires oĂą chaque personne avait une bonne comprĂ©hension du travail des autres. Je dĂ©couvrais un rĂ©fĂ©rentiel commun pour effectuer des missions diffĂ©rentes, c’Ă©tait tellement enthousiasmant ! Cette synergie d’Ă©quipe, la grande diversitĂ© des missions, le partage de nos expĂ©riences et de nos points de vue ont beaucoup boostĂ© ma motivation et ma montĂ©e en compĂ©tence. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>J’ai travaillĂ© quatre ans dans cette agence dont la stratĂ©gie a beaucoup Ă©voluĂ© tandis que sa taille explosait (de 20 Ă 100 collaborateurs en trois ans). Les choix se portaient plutĂ´t sur des gros projets architecturĂ©s avec des solutions moins hybrides. Petit Ă petit, je me suis de moins en moins retrouvĂ© dans les dĂ©cisions et la typologie de clients de l’agence. Je me posais beaucoup de question sur le sens de mon travail et l’impact de celui-ci. Est-ce que j’apportais des solutions pour amĂ©liorer la vie des gens Ă mon Ă©chelle ? Est-ce que ce que je produisais Ă©tait Ă©thique ? Ă€ la fin, est-ce que c’Ă©tait si important ?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depuis un bon moment, je m’intĂ©ressais aux sujets de l’Ă©co-conception, de la vie privĂ©e, de la qualitĂ© web. Je lisais beaucoup d’articles Ă©cris par des associations, des entreprises et des acteurs du numĂ©rique qui m’inspiraient (Framasoft, Designer Éthiques, Whodunit, Opquast…). Je ressentais un Ă©norme dĂ©calage entre mon expĂ©rience professionnelle et leurs discours qui avaient tellement de sens pour moi. L’ambiance de travail, elle aussi, avait complètement changĂ©, je ne ressentais plus la synergie qui m’avait tant plu Ă mon arrivĂ©e, mais une espèce de “brouillard” de frictions, de cacophonie. <br />Cette situation Ă©tait très difficile Ă vivre pour moi : j’angoissais Ă l’idĂ©e d’aller travailler et je dormais très mal. J’avais vraiment cette sensation que mon temps m’Ă©chappait. Je suis parti en mars 2023, et quelle bonne dĂ©cision !</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-retrouver-du-sens\">Retrouver du sens</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Je commence par revenir aux sources, j’ai besoin de ralentir, de poser mes envies pour savoir oĂą j’en suis, de faire autre chose. Je rentre en Bretagne et je m’installe Ă Saint-Malo près de ma famille. Mon premier dĂ©sir, c’est de me rĂ©approprier mon temps. Sept ans dans le sud… ce qui m’a manquĂ© le plus c’est la mer. Je sais bien que j’avais la mĂ©diterranĂ©e Ă cĂ´tĂ©, mais Ă©trangement ça ne me fait pas le mĂŞme effet. J’ai toujours eu envie de faire du surf, alors j’achète une vieille planche d’occasion, une combinaison, et je vais Ă l’eau presque tous les jours ! Ça me vide l’esprit et me donne confiance en moi, je n’ai jamais Ă©tĂ© un grand sportif, mais lĂ , j’accroche.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je ne suis pas vraiment douĂ© de mes mains, on ne peut pas dire que j’ai appris Ă le faire non plus. Je veux apprendre, avec les problĂ©matiques de l’Ă©cologie et du soutenable en tĂŞte. Je m’inscris Ă des chantiers participatifs et je rencontre des gens tellement intĂ©ressants. On partage notre expĂ©rience, nos savoirs, des moments de vie… et ça fait du bien.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je recommence Ă lire beaucoup, des livres de science-fiction, de fantasy, des essais, des classiques, mais aussi des discussions sur des forums et notamment ceux de wordpress.org.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image6298_33c6f2-eb\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/4-shifting-1.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/4-shifting-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Two pictures in one.

Je visite son site et je prends une claque, le gars produit des sites gratuitement pour les personnes qui en ont besoin “Free Websites for good Humans”. C’est tout simple, mais je trouve ça super inspirant. Pour moi, Mark-Andrew a trouvĂ© comment donner du sens Ă ses compĂ©tences et Ă accorder le tout avec son mode de vie.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>C’est ça que je veux faire. J’ai Ă©normĂ©ment appris sur l’Ă©cosystème WordPress et je continue chaque jour, pourquoi ne pas essayer d’en faire bĂ©nĂ©ficier ceux qui en auraient besoin ? Cela aurait du sens !<br />VoilĂ le chemin sur lequel je veux voyager, rendre accessible cette solution ouverte, gratuite et communautaire Ă tous ceux qui en ont besoin pour s’exprimer et crĂ©er. Pour aller plus loin, j’ai aussi envie de contribuer Ă la communautĂ© WordPress, je pense commencer par la traduction en français, mais j’espère avoir le plaisir de contribuer aussi au nouvel Ă©diteur de site que je trouve juste gĂ©nial. On verra bien !</p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress Ă appris au gamin touche-Ă -tout Ă se faire confiance et se sentir utile. Alors pour ça, merci. Et merci Mark-Andrew, j’espère qu’on se rencontrera pour une session glisse.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merci d’avoir pris le temps de me lire <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f60a.png\" alt=\"đźŠ\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></p>\n</div></div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https://heropress.com/essays/being-useful-to-people-with-wordpress/\">Being useful to people, with WordPress – ĂŠtre utile aux autres, avec WordPress</a> appeared first on <a href=\"https://heropress.com\">HeroPress</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 27 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Quentin Le Duff\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:40;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"WordPress.org blog: WP Briefing: Episode 69: Reflections on State of the Word\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:53:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?post_type=podcast&p=16654\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:79:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2023/12/episode-69-reflections-on-state-of-the-word/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:10692:\"<p>In this episode, WordPress Executive Director Josepha Haden Chomphosy reflects on the recent 2023 State of the Word, which took place in Madrid, Spain, and some of the highlights of the work across the WordPress open source project.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Have a question you’d like answered?

The podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:28] (Intro music) </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:00:40] <strong>Josepha:</strong> We wrapped up State of the Word earlier this month, and while I was sitting there being the only person to clap for the love of cake, I realized just how much we have been able to accomplish this year. And on the one hand, I shouldn’t be surprised.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, progress is radical over time yet incremental in time. But all told, 2023 has been a big year for WordPress. There’s been some radical progress in a few places. There are the things you know because you’ve heard them all year. You heard them in State of the Word.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We turned 20, for instance. We shipped three on-time releases. We had three well-organized flagship events, and we prototyped essential parts of phase 3. But there’s a lot of work that happens outside of flagship events and software releases, and I’d like to highlight a few examples of operational excellence in our community and ecosystem.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:31] <strong>Josepha:</strong> First highlight goes to the contributors who are building community. Going back to 2021, we’ve been working to bring people back together in person.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in that year, we had 19 events. In 2022, we had 24 events, so a modest increase of just over 30%. But then, in 2023, the WordPress community banded together on a campaign to reignite passion in our Meetup groups and encourage playfulness in our WordCamp planning. And not only did we see a 57% increase in active Meetup groups, But we also saw a 116% increase in WordCamps, 54 WordCamps in all. That’s about a third of the way to our all-time annual high of 142.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to complement these in-person opportunities, Learn also shipped 104 pieces of new content and hosted 258 online workshops because location should never be a barrier to entry for joining WordPress. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:02:32] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Second highlight goes to the contributors who are managing our directories. We do have a lot of directories. We have Plugins, Themes, Photos, Block plugins. We got a lot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I’m sure that everyone saw the consistent and borderline pleading calls to join the Plugin team this year. And for folks who’ve been around a bit, you probably recall a similar set of consistent and pleading calls to join the Theme team a few years back. Concurrent with the work to refill that contribution pipeline, folks over in Meta and across the project generally, were working on automating as many checks as possible, loosening guidelines where it was reasonable, and modernizing as many processes as we could.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m happy to share that the theme wait time is at a historic low, with their longest wait sometimes just at a week. And as anxious as I am about the plugin wait times, we’re actually seeing a lot of progress there as well. As we follow a process similar to the one that we did on themes, I imagine it’s only gonna get better. So, in 2023, we’ve onboarded six new team members. And since September, the number of plugins awaiting initial review has been cut in half.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then coming up in Q1 of 2024, we’ll have a project focused entirely on automating as many checks as possible. So I still need you, but I also need you to know that your work there matters and is having an impact.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:55] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The third highlight goes to the contributors who are doing outreach. This year, we launched a mentorship program with an 89% completion rate because we’ve seen time and again that our most prolific contributors had someone at the start that they felt safe asking dumb questions with. We launched and nurtured the developer blog, which was a need identified by the community because there was no place for intermediate and advanced developers to get excited about their cool explorations. And there were 53 posts there this year with thirteen thousand views, which is a 251% increase for the record, which is a ridiculous increase, but it’s a lot. Thirteen thousand views is a lot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have focused on documentation as we suggested in Porto of 2022. And marketing, I know not always our favorite topic, but marketing, our ability to talk about ourselves to more than just ourselves, has increased dramatically this year. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only have we started rolling out a modern design across our website, but we also are present and engaged on eight different platforms with 20-plus episodes of this very podcast and also video content that netted us seven and a half million views this year. That’s a lot of numbers, and there’s a post that goes with it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:10] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Check out the show notes. But if you’re not gonna check out the show notes because you listen to this on Pocket Casts or Google or something, go to make.WordPress.org/project, and it’ll be over there. But the point is, it’s been a banner year for the software, and I am grateful for every tester, designer, and developer that showed up for it. But I also know that what makes WordPress truly irreplaceable is our ecosystem, and it’s contributions like this and the contributors who do them that make our ecosystem vibrant and responsive and thriving on into the future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, thank you all for the contributions you make to WordPress. Thank you for the shining example of how to do open source at scale, and thank you for another great year together. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:04] <strong>Josepha:</strong> Which brings us now to our small list of big things. It is indeed a small this time. First up, I would like to introduce our enhanced content safety features on Openverse. By default, search results now exclude openly licensed media containing sensitive textual content. But this new feature adds additional filtering based on titles, tags, and descriptions of the work as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:27] <strong>Josepha:</strong> The second thing on our small list of big things is that there is just a general alert. There’s a WordPress security team impersonation scam that’s going on out there. The team is aware of multiple ongoing phishing scams impersonating both the WordPress team and the WordPress security team in an attempt to convince administrators to install a plugin on their website which contains malware. I’ll include a link to that post just in case you have anyone that you think might need to be aware of that, but also all of our site administrators know. Like, WordPress is not gonna email you asking for passwords or anything ever. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:02] <strong>Josepha:</strong> And item number three, I would like you to join the Plugin review team. I know I just said it in the body of the episode. But, the Plugin review team is looking for new members still who believe in our mission of guiding plugin authors in responsibly transforming their innovative ideas into reality and ensuring a great WordPress plugin experience for end users. There is a deadline to apply; it’s December 31st. And so you can get that done over the holidays, over a glass of eggnog if that’s how you choose to celebrate whatever it is that you do. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that’s it for your small list of big things. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast app or subscribe directly on WordPress.org/news. You’ll get a friendly reminder whenever there’s a new episode. If you liked what you heard today, share it with a fellow WordPresser.

Thomas talks on the podcast about Weglot’s involvement in WordPress initiatives and events.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get into how they decide what to sponsor, and what they hope to get in return. Thomas discusses the difficulties in tracking the effectiveness of marketing efforts at events. They’ve tried all manner of approaches, and we chat about the complex nature of measuring the return on investment, and whether it’s enough to have brand visibility as the only outcome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation turns to the unique engagement opportunities within the WordPress and open source community. And whether these events are different from other, more corporate, events held elsewhere.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weglot operates both within and beyond the WordPress ecosystem, and Thomas shares the company’s focus on adaptability and replication in other communities. While profitability comparisons between WordPress and Shopify events are not easy to measure, thomas acknowledges both platforms are strong partners for Weglot, expressing interest in engaging with new content management systems and communities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas wants to explore some innovative sponsor initiatives beyond typical events in the near future. He thinks that guest posts, supporting meetups, and sharing personal expertise might be potential ways for companies to effectively engage in the WordPress space.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not everything is new, and Thomas talks about Weglot’s approach towards flagship events, like WordCamp Asia and WordCamp US. They are hard at work already figuring out what they’re going to bring along, and how they’re always trying to think outside of the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in learning about the intricacies of sponsorship, the impact of sponsored engagements at events, and the future landscape of sponsor initiatives within the WordPress community, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in finding out more, you can find all of the links in the show notes by heading to WPTavern.com forward slash podcast, where you’ll find all the other episodes as well.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so, without further delay, I bring you Thomas Fanchin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am joined on the podcast today by Thomas Fanchin. Hello, Thomas.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:46] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Hey. How’s it going?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:03:48] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Good, thank you. Very nice to have you on the podcast. We’ve intended to do this podcast before, but we had some gremlins and so we finally got to it. And I appreciate you staying the course, Thomas. Really appreciate it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to give people some context, we’re going to be talking a little bit about sponsorship, perhaps about events today. But I guess it would be important to give you an opportunity to say who you are, and why your voice matters in this space. So a little time for a bio. Would you just tell us, Thomas, who you are and what your background is with WordPress. Who you work for, that kind of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:04:17] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Oh gosh. That’s a lot of information. I’m going to try to stay brief. Who am I? I work at Weglot, as a partnership manager there. My day to day task consisting interacting with tech partners, but also a lot with communities, including WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started my journey within WordPress during my time when I was a student. I wanted to create a website. It was a pet website, back in the days I wanted to launch my own business. So that’s how I discovered WordPress. But I didn’t know anything about the community. I was trying to do everything by myself.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started to work at Weglot, that’s when I started to interact a little bit with people from the community, meetup organiser, WorldCamps, organisers. But also just people doing podcasts and other things, inside of WordPress. Once you get to interact with people inside of the WordPress community, you’re just always going to talk with a lot of people, and do a lot of stuff around WordPress. So that’s how I got into where I’m right now today</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:23] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> We should probably explain exactly what Weglot does, because people may or may not understand what it does. But obviously it puts you squarely in the international localisation space. So just give us a, again, almost like a bio for Weglot. What does it do?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:36] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Yeah. So Weglot is basically a transition plugin, that allow you to translate our website into multiple language. It’s super simple plugin to use. It’s easy to set up. If you ever want to try it, just go for it and let us know what are your thoughts about it?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:05:52] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Okay, so we’re going to talk a little bit today about the WordPress community, and about decisions that Weglot have made, in terms of where their endeavors lie. Obviously, every company in the WordPress space would love to grow and grow, and one of the ways that people do that is to sponsor events. They might sponsor particular online events, or WordCamps, and things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we’re going to dig into that a little bit. We’re not talking about what you’re going to do in the future, that’s up to you to decide. But in the past, what kind of things have Weglot done to get themselves out there in front of the WordPress community?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:06:27] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> We have sponsored quite a few WordCamps and meetups, in the past. During my first year, we’ve sponsored around 50 WordCamps, and it was almost the same with the meetups. Like, we sponsored maybe 30 meetups, something like that. Which was great. There was definitely a lot of logistic behind it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And back then, we were thinking about becoming global sponsors. Because at some point it was hard for us to keep up with all the events, and for logistic matters too. We thought about it. And also, we were starting to think, yeah, what’s the next big move? What can we do more? What can we do better?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we tried the global sponsorship, for two years now. It was also super interesting. With the global sponsorship came also new challenges. We also started to invest more into Five for the Future. I would say, yeah, we’re still super invested and trying to support more initiatives, and support more of the WordPress community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:07:31] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> When you sit down with all of the decision makers in Weglot, how do you decide what it is that you are going to do? Because, obviously I’m not a sponsor, I have never sponsored anything, but I’ve spoken to quite a few people from different companies. And if we just take the example of WordCamp, let’s just stick with WordCamp and maybe some of the bigger events.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>My understanding is that most of the companies who support that with sponsorship, they don’t generally think about it as something which they can measure a return on investment immediately. So let’s say that they sponsor, and they put $50,000 into sponsoring a particular WordCamp. They’re not thinking, okay, we need to get that $50,000 back, or $100,000, or some multiple thereof.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s more about just being a good citizen. Making sure that people are aware that the company exists. And we’re in financial times at the moment, where every dollar spent is really something that has to be thought about. So I just wondered if you wanted to give us an idea, why do you sponsor? Why have you been a global sponsor? What have you hoped to get out of it, and has it delivered what you wanted?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:08:40] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> It’s another big question. So I’m going to try to reply with as much elements as I can. I think, first of all, it depends on the company culture. So if you are a company and you were built, or you are based, around one specific community, then it becomes easier for you to just talk about budget for the community support. Because, I mean, the company is originally based around it. Maybe the owners are already aware of what it is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you take, for example, Weglot, for us, the community, it’s equel feedback. So a lot of people from the team used to do support tickets, back in the days. And a lot of us are still doing it. So it make the connection between the users, the community, the support, which is our frontline, and the company. So it’s just a connection for us. Which can help us when it comes to decisioning to, yeah, we’re going to support this, or we’re going to sponsor this event.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other part that is also super important, obviously is the visibility part. You mentioned it. It’s super important for us to be visible, for people to be aware of the product, of what it does.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there is also the giving back part. Because obviously you are a company, you are growing and it’s good. But when you grow, you make the community also, the people that help you to grow, grow with you. So basically, it’s like creating a win win situation between your company growth, and the community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think when you combine the three, it’s let’s say, easier to set up budget, and to have this type of discussion. And it also depends maybe on your marketing strategy too. We can get into that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us, we divided into two type of strategies. So there is growth marketing, and there you have some KPIs, and it’s based on performance. And you have brand marketing. Brand marketing is not based on performance. But the Weglot brand, it’s combined with community, and with events. So we cannot dissociate both, which is good for us as a brand, and good also for the community. And it’s not based on performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing that mattered to us, is that the product, again, is visible. And when someone think about multilingual, we want him to think about Weglot. We know that there are agencies, freelancers, partners, people within the WordPress space, but also outside of the WordPress space, who think about Weglot, because they have met us somewhere in Asia, during WordCamp Asia, or at an event five years ago, or at a meetup, or during a conference. But it’s hard to track that. But we know that it’s working.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:23] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> When you say you know that it’s working, is that just an intuition that you anecdotally hear that people, when you maybe ask them, where did you hear about us? It may have been that they can link back to a sponsorship at a particular event. Or, is it more anecdotal than that? You just get a sense that there’s an uptick in sales immediately after events, and things like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:11:43] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Yeah. I think the tracking part is really hard to measure. We’ve tried a couple of things in the past, like coupon deals. It didn’t work out. We tried QR code too, because I know like a lot of us are trying to flash the QR code, and it wasn’t the best solution too. We tried to have people fill up forms. It wasn’t the best solution. And in terms of logistic, it’s just super hard to maintain.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know some companies are trying like this massive gift by participating an event, by entering your actual information, and so on. But I’m not sure that it has the best return on investment for them. It’s more a visibility thing, I think. I’m not sure. Maybe it’s working. If it’s working, it’s awesome and it’s cool. But I think it’s more a visibility matter.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think there is no real tracking that you can set up to measure this type of action. Which is why we separate both, and you have growth marketing and brand marketing. Both goals are set aside.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:12:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> We are in a very interesting community, in that we’re quite unique I think. The open source movement, but WordPress particular. In that we turn up to these events, and we know that there’s going to be sponsors there, and we may interact with those sponsors. But on some level, the open source, the nature of open source has this kind of no sponsorship feel to it, if you know what I mean? There’s this kind of, everything is free, and we give our time for free, and all of that kind of thing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I just wonder if you collide with that. You turn up to these events, you’ve paid a lot of money to be a part of the sponsorship area, and maybe the crowd that have turned up are not, you know, that willing to engage with you. Maybe in a different environment, a much more corporate environment, people would be willing to make that trade a little bit more, and they might be more willing to come and talk with you, because, I don’t know, they’ve got a different agenda.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you sense that a little bit? Is there something about this community which makes it harder to advertise towards them? And if that’s the case, I presume that you have to keep juggling that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:13:45] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> I guess the goal is to try to be really innovative, in a way that people come and interact with you. So, it’s really your role, as a sponsor to try to make sure that you do not cross a certain line. And that everything that you put out there, in terms of content, the booth, the people that are here, the people with whom you are working to, are aligned with the community culture, with the company culture too. That way you make sure that people come and interact with you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don’t see people as really like hostile toward us. Working at Weglot for the past five years, I’ve only had positive feedback about what we do inside of a community, and also about the product itself. From time to time, people don’t like it. It’s totally fine. And it’s good, because that way you can, yeah, like amazing feedbacks. To be honest, I don’t see anything wrong within the community and how it’s working out. From my perspective, and from the sponsor perspective too, I don’t know about what others might think, but that’s just my thoughts.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:14:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> In your introduction, when you were describing Weglot, you mentioned that WordPress is one aspect of that. But I’m reading between the lines, I could be wrong. Is it the case that Weglot operates outside the WordPress ecosystem as well? And if that’s the case, do you have a different approach to your marketing in the different markets? So firstly, let’s answer that question. Does it operate outside of WordPress? And if the answer to that is yes, what kind of things do you bolt onto? Is it other CMSs, or what?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:15:25] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> So the two founders of Weglot, they always had these goals of creating a solution for translation, that could be used on any website on the market. That was the purpose of the tool. We started to launch it on WordPress, but we also made a version for Shopify. And now you have this general integration that you can use on any website. And so the answer is yes. You can use Weget outside of WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding question two, I think it’s a similar approach. It might be because of the company culture, and because of where we started. WordPress is like a big part of what we do inside of different communities. We believe that what we are doing here is really positive. And if something is working, and it’s positive, what you are going to try to do is to replicate it in other communities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s really what we try to do, but at the same time, of course, you need to adapt yourselves to the other communities. Because, I don’t know, maybe it’s not the same people inside of a community. Maybe it’s more like corporate people. Maybe it’s people that are not interested about open source. Maybe it’s people who don’t know at all about how to code. I don’t know. There is various communities out there. And yeah, I would say like, we try to adapt ourself, and at the same time we try to replicate what’s working.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:16:47] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> This is going to be a difficult question to answer, potentially, because you may not have the numbers hand. But do you know if, let’s take the example of Shopify. Do you know if Shopify gives Weglot a greater level of profitability? For every dollar spent on events, or on advertising on Facebook, or Google, or whatever it may be, wherever those dollars get spent. Do you know if there is a greater profitability in one of those communities, than there is in another?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:15] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> That’s the big question. What I can say is that WordPress and Shopify, they are one of our big partners, with a strong attachment to WordPress. Because when the two founders launch Weglot, it was during WordCamp Paris. So that’s what I can say.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don’t have the specific numbers in mind, but it’s true that there is a lot of new communities and new CMSs out there that are emerging. And it’s definitely super interesting to interact with them for me as a partner manager. And to discover new CMSs, new communities, that comes with new people from like various communities out there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:17:54] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> So we’ve spent quite a bit of time talking about sponsoring events, but obviously sponsoring could be in all sorts of different directions. And I think you mentioned things like Five for the Future. I’m wondering if that’s something that Weglot explore. So, you know, if you’re listening to this podcast and you are working for a company, and you’re trying to think of innovative, interesting ways, and obviously you could sponsor a WordCamp, that one’s fairly straightforward.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any other things that you do? So for example, do you sponsor particular individuals to contribute to the code base? Do you sponsor some smaller events like meetups, or anything like that? Do you do things like Five for the Future, or any other things that we may not have heard of? So anything outside the normal typical WordPress events.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:18:34] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> I think it’s a quite interesting topic, because I think like everyone within the WordPress space, like companies, they can do like various innovative initiatives. We are all like super, super busy with our agendas. But you could contribute by providing, I don’t know, guest posts, content in the areas where you are an expert. For example, for us it would be like multilingual.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you have a content team, or people from your content team that could help others. You could also, let’s say, help meet up organisers with their venues. At Weglot, from time to time, there is like this marketing community. They come to have breakfast at Weglot in the morning. It’s not cool for the employees because you get to work and everybody is eating, and you need to work. You could also do that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a personal standpoint, I did a couple of talks during meetups, around multilingual. I mean, I’m not the best. I’m sure there is plenty of people with more knowledge than me. But I have my own expertise, and my experience, and I can share it. And so far I’ve received just positive feedbacks. There is various stuff that you could do at a personal level inside of a company.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yeah, of course we are also doing Five for the Future. We are sponsoring, I think, right now, three contributors inside of the community team, and the Polyglot team too. It’s quite interesting. It’s something totally new for us. We never did it in the past. And what we try to have various people who are really enthusiastic about the community, and who loves to do plenty of stuff. It will be like, I don’t know, recruitment, just someone that would come like to the Weglot team and work. We try to have the same type of people with whom we’re collaborating there, which is awesome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also supported, you mentioned meetups, we also supported a few meetups in different ways, because we try to always adapt the budget. And also the way that we support those meetups, because some of them, they need money for the venue. Other needs equipment. And there is like layers of people out there who have specific needs, so we try to adapt ourself.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We’re also doing something quite interesting. There’s the Weglot community there, where we invite our ambassadors, inside of the company, for one or two days. And they get to meet everyone from the company, and they get to teach about what they do inside of specific communities, and how it helps Weglot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s super interesting because it helps the company culture. When you are growing, and you have more and more people coming inside of the company, it’s interesting to learn the basics, but also to understand what we are doing inside of WordPress, or inside of other communities too.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because obviously for us, it’s simple. We know what the community is about. We know what we’re doing. We know what’s WordPress, what’s a meetup, what’s a WordCamp. But maybe like for others, it’s a little bit more, not hard to understand, but there is less visibility on this type of action. Which is why it’s super interesting to have community people to come and just interact with the team.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that is quite interesting, because you mentioned that we are present on different communities, and we also have different ambassadors. And this year we’re making a community day in March, if I’m right. If I’m wrong, my event manager is going to be mad at me. And some of them will be outside of WordPress. And they would meet each other and attend like conference during the day, and teach to each other what they do in different space. And also about their approach, because it’s not the same approach. So it’s going to be quite interesting to have those type of interaction. But yeah, maybe I’m being too long.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:22:12] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> No, that’s really interesting. You mentioned the ambassadors. Who are they then? it sounds like they’re people who are closely aligned with what you do, but not employees. They’re just people that use your services and products, but they’re not on the payroll. But they’re willing to give some of their time over to your endeavors. That’s interesting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:22:28] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Yeah. The ambassador program is something that we have put together because we started to sponsor quite a few WordCamps. And it was hard for us to be able to travel from point A, to point B, to point C. You could imagine having an event in France, another one in Spain, and another one in England. So it’s hard to commute. At the end you would be like totally tired. And it’s not the goal. The goal is, of course, to have a nice balance between personal life and work life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found out that there was plenty of people who were attending WordCamps, and were willing to do it for companies like us. We tried to find some community people who shared the same thoughts as we do, inside of Weglot. Love the product, want to talk about it, and want to participate inside of a community, That’s how it started.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we have a few ambassadors who are working with us. We try now, since this year, it’s the first time that we did the community day, so we try to have the ones that are representing us in like various countries, to come up in Paris with us and discuss with the team.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:23:40] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> That’s a really nice initiative. I like that. I also just like the fact that there’s people who are so into what you do as a product, that they’re willing to donate their time. It’s almost like a little microcosm of the WordPress project inside the Weglot project. You’ve got volunteers who are helping you out. Yeah. That’s fascinating.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m going to just encourage the listeners of the podcast to go to the show notes, and I’m going to link to a piece on the make.wordpress.org website by Cate DeRosia. It was published on the 29th of November 2023, and it’s called, Should We Allow Sponsor Demo Rooms or Tracks at Events. I’m also going to link to a piece over on Post Status by Marieke van de Rakt. The name of that piece escapes me at the moment. But it was all about the WordPress community getting divided into participants on the one hand, and sponsors and companies on the other hand.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I’m interested about this. I’m interested to know from your perspective. Now we’ve talked a little bit about how you make a return on investment, or whether that’s necessary or not. But I’m wondering if, as the years have gone on, you mentioned that you’ve been involved in WordPress for five years or more. Have you still got the same excitement for attending these kind of events, or do you wish there to be some kind of change?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in Cate DeRosia’s piece, she’s basically saying, do we need to think a little bit outside of the box in order to get sponsors to attend these events? It sounds, the undercurrent, I guess is that it’s harder than ever to get the sponsors, enough sponsors, to cover the cost of the events.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I’m just wondering if the people in the comments, you have any ideas on how your sponsor dollars could be spent? Such that you feel you’re getting more value than you are at the moment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:25:21] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> From a personal point of view, it’s definitely super amazing to be able to travel to this event. Because you get to travel from all over the globe, thanks to WordPress, which is super cool. I’ve never been in Asia, and I went to Bangkok earlier this year, which was awesome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you get to spend time there with people with whom you have a close relationship now, thanks to WordPress. And people with whom you are friends now during this event, and that you’re not probably going to meet throughout the year, which is just amazing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And from a, more of a sponsor level, I would say maybe five years ago there was more engagement. If you take an event like WordCamp Europe, we’ve talked a little bit about it, let’s talk about it again here. Yeah there were for sure like, maybe more participants and more engagement in WordCamp Europe in Berlin, than maybe now the last WordCamp Europe in Athens. It was like a really huge event, with way more sponsors than five years ago.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>People I believe, at least that’s my thoughts, were a little bit lost with all the sponsors, and all the tracks, and everything that was happening. It was still an amazing event. I love it. It was awesome. But yeah, maybe there was a little bit less engagement.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there were also other events, like in Asia, where it was just like WordCamp Asia, was just amazing. I’ve spoke with so many people that were interested about the product, about what we do. And it was something new, because it was the first time too. So I guess we’ll see like this year, next year, and the coming years how it’ll evolve. But I’m sure it could be positive.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, maybe right now there is less engagement. But if we go back to the beginning of this conversation, I think the job of a lot of sponsors here, is to try to be innovative to attract people. It could be your booth. It could be the activities that we are doing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think right now it is just, we are at a stage where we should all start to think about outside of the box, and think about crazy ideas that we could put together, to have people come interact with your product. But also with what you do inside of a company.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:27:44] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, I think Cate’s piece really is raising that question. So, maybe it’s off the back of data saying what you’ve just said, where the engagement is maybe down. And it’s curious that you found that the engagement was up in WordCamp Asia. So maybe that’s because they were doing things differently. Maybe they had a different, just a whole different approach, and they’re trying innovative new things. Certainly speaking to some of the organisers, that was very much the intent, was to try out some new things. And from your perspective, that seems to work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as attendees of the events will know, the ticket price is incredibly low. And that is largely offset by sponsors. And so if sponsors, like Weglot, determine that the engagement, it’s going down. Maybe we shouldn’t sponsor this particular event. That then jeopardises the event in the future. So Cate’s piece, I guess, is trying to figure out if there are things which would attract the sponsors.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So she’s suggesting things like demo rooms, and various other things are suggested in the chat. But she’s thinking things like, could we have a standalone room just for demos, for sponsors? Would it be possible to offer them different kind of packages? What would those packages contain? Could there be maybe some, I don’t know, an event which is at the end of the event as a whole, where the sponsors get up and get to give away prizes or something like that.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is thinking out the box. And we did an episode a few weeks ago, which again I’ll link to in the show notes, where we’re talking about next gen events. And all of that, again, seems to be talking about a picture of, these events are after the pandemic at least. We’re struggling to get them back. We’re struggling for the sponsors to be interested. We’re struggling to get the numbers back. And so being innovative matters.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think that you’ll be, in the next five years, sponsoring these events at the same level, or do you have an intuition that you’ll be going your own route and trying things own way?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:32] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Yeah. If we’re talking about the flagship events, I know that next year we will still support all of them, which is great. I already know that for WordCamp Europe, we are going to have a really nice booth there. And everyone is right now working to be as innovative as possible, to make sure that everyone has a super nice experience entering into the Weglot booth. I hope it’s going to be amazing.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In WordCamp Asia, I know that we are working right now on the booth, the concept and everything that we’re going to do there, which is awesome. And I think it’ll be the same for WordCamp US.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a more global perspective, I know that this year, we are not going to be global sponsors. But the reason behind it, is that we want to diversify the way that we support WordPress. And we are going to try to invest more into new initiatives, but also into contribution space, and into Five for the Future.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yeah, it doesn’t mean that we are stopping anything. We are still going to support the flagships, and other WordCamps too. We are going to be just more selective into the WordCamps that we are supporting.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I think, for us, it’s more the logistics behind supporting like all the events. It was hard to follow up. And we always had that goal in mind, that if we were going to be global sponsor, we wanted to have someone representing us in all the WordCamps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unfortunately, we were not able to maintain that. It’s cool, not cool, but it’s like amazing to support all these events. But you need to make sure that, at least you have someone out there, and not only is there like an empty table with no goodies or with some goodies and no one there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even the logistic behind like sending goodies in like, all the places in the world, it’s like crazy. And we were lucky. Now we have our event manager who is working with us, and she put together an amazing program for the goodies itself. So it was like something that she set up only for that. And we were able to work with ambassadors from a lot of places, which is also like super cool, because now we have more and more people working with us. But still it was hard for us to be able to be present everywhere, as we wanted to. So it’s part of the reason why. What was the initial question again? Maybe I got lost.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:31:57] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah, it was really about whether or not you see the landscape in the next five years being the same as in the last five years. So, obviously money is tight everywhere.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:32:07] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> I was speaking about this year, and about how we were going to support also like meetups too. So, I’m in touch with some meetup organisers too, and we’re going to support their meetups.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that a lot of sponsors are struggling, and as we talk about it earlier, it’s hard to keep a track on everything that we’re doing. And for sure, if there is room for new types of sponsorship, or new types of visibility action that we can put together, it would be awesome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing that you have to keep in mind, is that it’s cool to have these new ideas, but we need to make sure that it aligns with the community. And that we don’t cross that line that we spoke about earlier. The more that people are positive about the new ideas that we have, and the better it is for us, because it means more people are going to engage.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing that you want to have is to put out there like some, I don’t know, new ideas, or new things to get more visibility. And what is going to happen is that you have less engagement, and then sponsors are going to be, okay, it’s not working. There is less engagement than before.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:33:13] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Yeah. I think the endeavor at the moment seems to be to try a lot of these new ideas out on what they’re calling next gen events. Whether that name will stick around or not, I don’t know. But the intention, really, is to try these out on the smaller events. So try out some new things, try a different approach at a variety of different events. Who knows what that will be, but there was an example of a much smaller, newer event in the UK not that long ago. See how they go, and see if any of the ideas from those can percolate up into the bigger events, possibly.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you’re right, you risk alienating the community at your peril. If at the end of the day you go over a boundary that the community seemingly can’t tolerate, then you risk polluting the entire river, which would be a complete disaster.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I guess we’re going to see. Let’s see how these things change in the future. Let’s see how companies cope with the realities of post 2023. Over the next few years, see what their purse strings are like, and let’s hope these events are continued to be sponsored by companies like Weglot.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas, just a quick one. If anybody has listened to this and thought, do you know what, I’m struggling with the same sorts of things, it would be nice to chat to Thomas, see if there’s any alignment. Maybe there’s some sort of opportunities to work together. Where would be the best place to get in touch with you?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:34:24] <strong>Thomas Fanchin:</strong> Maybe on LinkedIn. You could all reach out to me on LinkedIn. I’m not posting every day, but i’m really reachable by message. So if anyone wants to reach out, talk about WordPress, talk about Five for the Future, or contribution, or you have a new podcast idea, you’re looking for support. Or you just want to discuss a little bit about partnership, feel free to reach out to me there.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also have a Twitter account. It’s my name, so Thomas Fanchin. Have a look at it on both LinkedIn and Twitter. You will find me, I’m almost sure.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And otherwise, you could just reach out to the support team. If you want to reach out, support@weglot.com, and just say that you want to talk with Thomas, and I would be tagged. So that’s also easy if you want to reach out to me. So yeah, it up to you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:35:14] <strong>Nathan Wrigley:</strong> Thank you Thomas. I really appreciate you talking to me on the podcast today. Thanks so much indeed.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the podcast today we have <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-fanchin-b31333137/\">Thomas Fanchin</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas is a WordPress enthusiast and is the partnership manager for <a href=\"https://www.weglot.com/\">Weglot</a>, which is a solution for translating websites, not limited to WordPress. His role means that he’s immersed in the WordPress community. He’s passionate about connecting with, and learning from, others in the community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas talks on the podcast about Weglot’s involvement in WordPress initiatives and events. We get into how they decide what to sponsor and what they hope to get in return.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas discusses the difficulties in tracking the effectiveness of marketing efforts at events. They’ve tried all manner of approaches, and we chat about the complex nature of measuring the return on investment, and whether it’s enough to have brand visibility as the only outcome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation turns to the unique engagement opportunities within the WordPress and open source community, and whether these events are different from other, more corporate, events held elsewhere.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weglot operates both within and beyond the WordPress ecosystem, and Thomas shares the company’s focus on adaptability and replication in other communities. While profitability comparisons between WordPress and Shopify events are not easy to measure, Thomas acknowledges both platforms as strong partners for Weglot, expressing interest in engaging with new content management systems (CMS) and communities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas wants to explore some innovative sponsor initiatives beyond typical events in the near future. He thinks that guest posts, supporting meetups, and sharing personal expertise might be potential ways for companies to effectively engage with the WordPress space.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not everything is new, and Thomas talks about Weglot’s approach towards flagship events like WordCamp Asia and WordCamp US. They are hard at work already figuring out what they’re going to bring along and how they’re always trying to think outside the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re interested in learning about the intricacies of sponsorships, the impact of sponsor engagement at events, and the future landscape of sponsor initiatives within the WordPress community, this episode is for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful links</h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/\">Five for the Future</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/\">Translate WordPress</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2023/11/29/should-we-allow-sponsor-demo-rooms-or-tracks-at-events/\">Should We Allow Sponsor Demo Rooms or Tracks at Events?</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/podcast/80-angela-jin-on-how-and-why-wordcamps-might-change-in-the-future\">Angela Jin on How and Why WordCamps Might Change in the Future</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://wptavern.com/podcast/98-marieke-van-de-rakt-on-uniting-the-wordpress-community-for-a-stronger-future\">Marieke van de Rakt on Uniting the WordPress Community for a Stronger Future</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/thomas_fch\">Thomas on X</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-fanchin-b31333137/\">Thomas on LinkedIn</a></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 20 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Nathan Wrigley\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:43;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:108:\"Do The Woo Community: A Post State of the Word Chat with Rocio Valdivia, Pooja Derashri & JosĂ© RamĂłn\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"https://dothewoo.io/?p=78732\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:96:\"https://dothewoo.io/a-post-state-of-the-word-chat-with-rocio-valdivia-pooja-derashri-jose-ramon/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:503:\"<p>Listen to insights and experiences in the Spanish WordPress community, features and updates announced at SOTW, plus getting involved in the WordPress community. </p>\n<p>>> The post <a href=\"https://dothewoo.io/a-post-state-of-the-word-chat-with-rocio-valdivia-pooja-derashri-jose-ramon/\">A Post State of the Word Chat with Rocio Valdivia, Pooja Derashri & JosĂ© RamĂłn</a> appeared first on <a href=\"https://dothewoo.io\">Do the Woo -

It was a time when nearly 2-5% of students embraced this opportunity. I also joined them in the excitement of learning how to use a computer.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our teacher kept emphasizing the importance of learning how to type. But sometimes, when he wasn’t around, we would search for the Internet icon, hoping to find interesting things. Sadly, we didn’t have an internet connection, but we still tried our best. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, in our little learning space, every chance to use a computer felt special. These early experiences, a mix of fear and curiosity, laid the foundation for our technology journey. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s proof of our eagerness to learn, even when resources were limited. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, those moments of exploring and trying to connect with the wider digital world were like planting seeds of curiosity. Which later grew into a strong love for technology.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-glimpse-into-my-roots\">A Glimpse into My Roots</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s stroll through my tech journey, from mastering algorithms to leading the WordPress theme team. It all began after completing ISC (Intermediate of Science) and believe it or not, it happened in a government school.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing school, I had to choose a path, and I went with IT. Now, the funny part is, that I was at a friend’s house one day, and I saw this cool digital ID card. I asked my friend about it, and he said it was the college ID card. At that moment, I thought, <strong>“If I study IT, I can get a modern ID card like this!”</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The interesting twist is that I ended up being the topper in the entrance exam for IT.</em></strong> </p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I joined, there were only 15-16 students. Surprisingly, only 7 of us made it through the entire degree because many decided to go to India, and some just realized IT wasn’t their thing. At that time, only a few people were keen on the IT field.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my studies, programming code seemed like a puzzle to me. It was challenging to wrap my head around it. However, when we started experimenting and learning to give commands, the real-time working of it all was still a mystery.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I neared the completion of my bachelor’s degree, technology was booming, and companies began realizing the importance of having a website. Simultaneously, I got involved in some social sector work, and people there started asking about IT. To understand this field better, I participated in IT events, and that’s when it hit me, I needed to do something significant in this field.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward, armed with a bachelor’s in Information Technology from Purbanchal University. In the 3rd – 4th semester, I wasn’t entirely sure what I would be working on afterwards. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>But being in this field made me realize that your degree doesn’t define what you can achieve. It’s the passion and dedication that truly matter.</em></strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following my bachelor’s, the next step in my journey was pursuing a master’s degree to become a specialist. This led me to Sikkim Manipal University, where I immersed myself in the world of Information Technology from 2015 to 2017.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it wasn’t just about learning Computer Science. It was a hands-on experience with a keen focus on the latest technology and software development. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my time there, I specialized in object-oriented software development, using the newest tools and systems available. The tech adventure included delving into courses like algorithm analysis, web applications programming, and more. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Providing me with a robust skill set to navigate the ever-evolving tech world.</em></strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I lead the WordPress theme team today, my journey from being an intern is a vibrant mix of continuous learning, personal growth, and a profound passion for shaping the digital landscape. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Join me in this exciting tech adventure, where every challenge is an opportunity to innovate and evolve!</em></strong></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attending-and-organizing-my-first-wordpress-meetup\">Attending and Organizing My First WordPress Meetup</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s an interesting part of how I got involved in WordPress. Back then, we used to install WordPress, add content to websites, and get paid NPR 5,000 for a website. We were thrilled with that!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, during the <strong>“<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibeksheel_Nepali\">Bibeksheel Nepali</a>” </strong>movement led by the late <a href=\"https://kafleg.com.np/an-open-letter-to-matt-mullenweg/\"><strong>Mr Ujwal Thapa</strong></a>, I got to know him. We participated in walking events together, covering the stretch from Mechi to Lumbini for a few days. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>During that time, Mr. Thapa emphasized the importance of contributing to the community and working together. He taught me that it’s not just about me learning and earning, everyone should have that opportunity. That changed my entire mindset!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let me take you back to 2010 when I attended my first WordPress meetup. In a gathering of 40-50 people, we discussed the basics of WordPress and how to create a site. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 2 years in 2012, I got a chance to organise a WordPress meetup. It was there that I discovered someone who created WordPress themes. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was both shocked and enthusiastic! That night, I went home, and searched for “Catch Themes” and “Graph Paper Press,” and that’s when my exploration began.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, I stopped using themes from others and started exploring Catch Box of Catch Themes. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back then, I had just heard about WordPress and was eager to explore its potential. Little did I know that this casual meetup would mark the beginning of an incredible journey.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the experience was exhilarating, bringing together WordPress enthusiasts, sharing ideas, and building a sense of community. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>It felt like planting a seed that would grow into something much larger.</em></strong></p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-volunteering-in-first-wordcamp-to-leading-contributor-day-in-wc-asia\">Volunteering in First WordCamp to Leading Contributor Day in WC Asia</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now moving into my WordCamp journey! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing my bachelor’s, I came to Kathmandu in 2014. Luckily, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a WordCamp event with the help of Mr. Ujwal Thapa. Knowing the organizers made it easy for me to blend in among them. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was an exciting experience for me! From that point on, my world has revolved around WordPress, and I haven’t seen anything quite like it.</p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-6254_16174c-0b alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-6254_16174c-0b kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none kb-gallery-magnific-init\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/45717552634_4b10a9f688_k.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\"><img src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/45717552634_4b10a9f688_k-1024x579.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6259\" /></div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">WordCamp Biratnagar 2018</div></div></a></div></li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/contributorday_tableleads_organizers.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\"><img src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/contributorday_tableleads_organizers-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6260\" /></div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Contributor Day table leads and organizers of WC Asia 2023</div></div></a></div></li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ujwal_3.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\"><img src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ujwal_3.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6261\" /></div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Mr Ujwal Thapa speaking in WordPress Meetup</div></div></a></div></li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><a href=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/with_worpdressers.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\"><img src=\"https://heropress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/with_worpdressers-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6262\" /></div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">WordCamp Asia 2023</div></div></a></div></li></ul></div>\n\n\n<p>On to the year 2015, I ventured into the theme reviewing team, delving into the intricate world of WordPress themes. The learning curve was steep, but the satisfaction of contributing to the WordPress ecosystem was unparalleled. Since 2018, I have been working as a team reps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>My WordCamp journey became a tapestry of experiences, from <strong>WordCamp Nepal in 2014</strong> to various international events like <strong>WordCamp Tokyo in 2017</strong>, <strong>WordCamp Bangkok in 2019</strong>, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, I got the golden chance to organize <a href=\"https://biratnagar.wordcamp.org/2018/\"><strong>WordCamp Biratnagar 2018</strong></a><strong> </strong>as a lead. At that moment, there were very few companies who relied on WordPress to earn. It was a hassle to convince people to attend and let them know about WordPress. But we made it successful though!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The years rolled on, and by 2023, I found myself organizing <strong>WordCamp Kathmandu </strong>once again, alongside events in Sylhet, Mumbai, and Manila. The swift of WordCamps continued into 2024, with Nepal and Asia taking the spotlight again.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on these years, I’ve not just attended events, I’ve woven connections, shared laughter, and learned valuable lessons. Also, personal anecdotes, like meeting fellow WordPress enthusiasts in unexpected places, make these WordCamps memorable.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward, I’m thrilled about the upcoming WordCamps and the new experiences they’ll bring. Each event adds something special to my journey with WordPress, like a unique stroke on a canvas. The adventure goes on, driven by my love for WordPress and the incredible community that makes it all meaningful.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-growth-in-career-from-volunteer-to-full-time-wordpress\">Growth in Career From Volunteer to Full-time WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the vibrant world of WordPress, I wear multiple hats with pride. By day, I’m a WordPress Developer and Theme Reviewer, channeling my passion into crafting digital experiences that stand out. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>My role as a team representative for the WordPress.org themes team, contributing full-time isn’t just a job, it’s a joyous commitment that I hold close to my heart.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Adding a special touch to this journey is the honor of being sponsored by Rank Math. </em></strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration with <a href=\"https://rankmath.com/\"><strong>Rank Math</strong></a><strong> </strong>goes beyond the professional, it’s a shared dedication to the vibrant WordPress community that fuels my passion.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let me share a bit about how this sponsorship unfolded. Well, <strong>Rank Math </strong>was on the lookout for someone to sponsor, and in that pivotal moment, I had the privilege of connecting with <strong>Bhanu Ahluwalia</strong>, the Co-founder of Rank Math. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our conversation became more than just a chat; it became the catalyst that made the sponsorship a reality. Working full-time suddenly transformed from a dream to a tangible experience. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the lines of code, my free time transforms into moments of contribution. I find comfort in adding my touch to the WordPress documentation team, weaving words that guide fellow enthusiasts through the vast WordPress landscape. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My involvement extends:</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>As a WordCamp speaker</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organize WordCamp as a lead organizer</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Volunteer in different WordCamps and tech events</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worke in diverse fields like core contributions, and translation, and even dived into theme/plugin development.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you’re curious about my take on these standards, you can catch a glimpse of my <a href=\"https://wordpress.tv/speakers/ganga-kafle/\">WordCamp presentation video</a>.</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>But my WordPress journey isn’t confined to screens, it extends to the heartbeat of meetups and open-source platforms. Actively participating and engaging with the community is not just a routine, it’s a source of inspiration and connection.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I’m not crafting code or contributing, you’ll find me at the seat of WPEntire, my WordPress blog, sharing insights and experiences. It’s not just a blog, it’s a canvas where my WordPress journey finds another expressive outlet.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-years-of-volunteering-and-getting-sponsored-by-rank-math\">10 Years of Volunteering and Getting Sponsored By Rank Math</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I’ve been part of the WordPress community for more than ten years, volunteering and sharing my love for technology. It’s been an exciting journey, from learning the ropes to contributing to a global community.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a volunteer isn’t just about coding; it’s a personal adventure of growth and connection. Every bit of code feels like a step in a journey filled with innovation and learning.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant part of this journey has been the support from Rank Math. Their sponsorship isn’t just financial help; it’s a vote of confidence. It encourages me to keep contributing to a community that has become a vital part of my life.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration with Rank Math goes beyond code. It’s a shared belief in WordPress and the power of working together. As I look back at the past ten years, I see a story of learning, growing, and building friendships. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every WordCamp and meetup is like adding a stroke to my WordPress story. I’m excited about what the future holds, and the support from Rank Math adds a personal touch to my journey with WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-gateway-to-explore-the-world\">A Gateway to Explore the World</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being part of WordCamps is like unlocking a door to a whole new world. It’s not just about learning techie stuff, it’s about meeting people from all over and discovering how big and diverse our world is.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a big gathering where folks who love working with WordPress come together. It’s like a big family reunion but with people from different countries and cultures. In this mix, we share ideas, solve problems, and learn from each other.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, WordCamps has been a game-changer. They go beyond talking about websites. They help us understand each other’s worlds. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I spoke at WordCamp Manila and WordCamp Mumbai, it wasn’t just about WordPress tricks. It was about learning how people in different places use WordPress to solve unique challenges.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At WordCamp Asia, being in charge of a team with people from all over was a bit like having a superhero squad. We had different skills and backgrounds, and that made us strong. It taught me that when we bring our unique strengths together, amazing things happen.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But WordCamps aren’t just about work. They’re about making friends from places you’ve never been. Sharing stories about how we do things in our hometowns and realizing that even though we’re different, we’re also pretty similar.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, WordCamps have become more than just events for me. They’ve opened up a whole world of friendships, learning, and exploring different cultures. It’s like having a passport to a global community where everyone speaks the language of WordPress and friendship.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-thoughts\">My Thoughts</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, if you’re in the IT field, you can find internships on your own by doing some research. Don’t hesitate to apply and use your resources.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in WordPress, consider spending 3-6 months as an intern. Instead of just thinking about money, focus on learning and gaining experience. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is not just for blogs, it’s also a place for programming where you can make money. Depending on your skills, you can find jobs in writing, front-end development, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, you can even work as an HR for US companies while living in Nepal without being there physically. Being a developer is also not too difficult. If you work within the WordPress community, companies might sponsor you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, as WordPress grows, more companies will want people like you. Technology and WordPress are always changing. For developers, it means earning in new ways. For others, it’s a chance for something new; bloggers can improve their blogs, and writers can create fresh content.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, WordPress offers opportunities for everyone involved. Ways of working and patterns might change, but you’ll never be outdated!</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" />\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

It was a great presentation with an outlook for 2024 and beyond. If you are not the video-watching type, you’ll also find quite a few links to Recap posts below. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing you and yours festive Holidays, and a prosperous, healthy and happy New Year! </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours, đź’•<br /><em>Birgit</em></p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-background-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Table of Contents</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-sortabrilliant-guidepost\"><ul><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#0-word-press-release-information\">Developing Gutenberg and WordPress</a><ul><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#1-state-of-the-word\">State of the Word</a><ul><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#2-list-of-recap-posts-from-around-the-word-press-space\">List of Recap posts from around the WordPress space</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#3-q-amp-a-after-state-of-the-word-2023\">Q & A after State of the Word 2023</a></li></ul></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#1-gutenberg\">Gutenberg Updates</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#5-strong-upcoming-events-strong\">Upcoming events</a></li></ul></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#0-p\">Plugins, Themes, and Tools for #nocode site builders and owners</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#7-theme-development-for-full-site-editing-and-blocks\">Theme Development for Full Site Editing and Blocks</a></li><li><a href=\"https://gutenbergtimes.com/feed/#3-building-themes-for-fse-and-word-press\">Building Blocks and Tools for the Block editor. </a></li></ul></div>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-word-press-release-information\">Developing Gutenberg and WordPress</h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-state-of-the-word\">State of the Word</h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7M4mBVgP3Y&t=1s\"><strong>State of the Word</strong> recording</a> is available on YouTube. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What stood out for me in terms of what’s coming next year?Here is my list: </p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/data-liberation/\">Data Liberation</a></strong> is a massive initiative. Empowering users to take their site with them from one CMS to another is such a pain right now. It’s not only from Squarespace or Wix to WordPress, it’s also from one WordPress host to another, and also from one-Page Builder to Core. A giant step towards an open web. <a href=\"https://github.com/wordpress/data-liberation\"> GitHub repository</a> and WP Slack channel:  <a href=\"https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C069AKUBPHB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#data-liberation</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The promise of connecting the Block editor to Custom fields is intriguing. <strong>Mario Santos</strong> posted a <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53300#issuecomment-1808020238\">proposal for the first iteration in WordPress 6.5</a>. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/discussions/categories/interactivity-api\"><strong>Interactivity API</strong></a>, has been mentioned in a few Weekend Editions. It has been used internally for a few core blocks, in WordPress 6.4 and will become a public API in WordPress 6.5. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patterns </strong>will become first class citizens of the site editor with their upcoming partially syncing feature. It means you can change the styling of a pattern that’s used over multiple pages without updating the content. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/\">WordPress Playground</a></strong> will also change how we preview and develop for WordPress. We use it as another way to work with the <a href=\"https://github.com/bph/gutenberg/discussions/81\">Gutenberg Nightly</a>. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mullenweg revealed that <strong>WordCamp US </strong>will be in <strong>Portland, Oregon </strong>with two contributor days and a two – day conference, <strong>September 17 – 20, 2024</strong>. Sounds like an exciting new format! Furthermore, I am excited about more WordCamps in 2024, especially in Europe with the shorter travel distances for me now. For now, I only have plans to be at <a href=\"https://asia.wordcamp.org/2024/\">WordCamp Asia</a> in Taipei, Taiwan and <a href=\"https://europe.wordcamp.org/2024/\">WordCamp Europe </a>in Torino. </li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-list-of-recap-posts-from-around-the-word-press-space\">List of Recap posts from around the WordPress space</h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matt Mederios</strong> was probably the first to publish a <strong><a href=\"https://thewpminute.com/state-of-the-word-2023/\">State of the Word 2023 Recap</a>. </strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/ioanamuresan\"><strong>Ioana MureĹźan</strong> </a>wrote the article on the WPTavern <a href=\"https://wptavern.com/state-of-the-word-2023-hola-wordpress\"><strong>State of the Word 2023: ¡Hola WordPress!</strong></a> and includes demo videos from the talk so you can review them in due time.

I went from carrying two laptops earlier in the year, a 14” as well to just this. I like the Space Black color because it’s novel but might go back to silver next time. Brand new so just a few stickers so far!</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V4LZS9S/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Black Magic Mouse</a>, steady and useful when I’m doing lots of emails. Looking to replace this, as it uses Lightning. At home I’ve been using the <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z81WS5L/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Mojo Pro Performance Silent Gaming Mouse</a> because it’s wired and quiet when you click, so something wireless and quiet could be nice for when on the go… I do like the gestures of the Magic Mouse though. I’ll be testing out some new mice over the holidays.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P8CNRK1/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Universal Airplane Phone Holder</a>, also good along with #4 for mounting an iPhone for using the <a href=\"https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213244\">Continuity camera</a> or <a href=\"https://ma.tt/files/2023/11/IMG_1637-scaled.jpg\">selfies</a> (after taking that he said “please don’t go to jail”). Also super cheap, <$20 for two.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5S7X6BN/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Capstone Continuity Camera mount for MacBook laptops</a>, easy way to mount your iPhone to your laptop to use as a webcam. Looks amazing, but a bit of a pain, which is why I’m excited about #6.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MF6TJLW/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Anker 655 USB-C 8-in-1 Hub</a>. I use this mostly for Ethernet, but since everything is USB-C now I can also use this with either phone or the iPad. I seem to have bad luck with USB hubs, I’m always burning through them, but this one has lasted a while. This thing is heavy! I could go smaller/lighter here.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM8V52PG/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Opal Tadpole webcam</a>, this is the <a href=\"https://opalcamera.com/\">Opal</a> product everyone has been waiting for. Quality close to iPhone at a smaller size, plugs in via USB-C so you don’t have to worry about connectivity or charging, doesn’t need any special software, looks amazing. Only fits a laptop though, not a bigger monitor. The way the cable works is really clever, great design.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is one of my most delightful new additions, a <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083SCPFQK/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Pixel G1s RGB Video Light</a>, it can cast warm light for a Zoom call or you can send it to a specific color to enhance the ambience of room for a party. It can rotate through a rainbow of colors. I ended up giving this to all my friends, and now when we’re in the same place we can instantly vibe out a room with two or three of these devices, and turn off any unpleasant default lighting a space may have. It charges via USB-C, natch. Hat tip: <a href=\"https://rjwalters.info/\">Robb Walters</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://pro.ultimateears.com/pages/ue-premier\">UE Premier custom headphones</a>. The best aural experience you can have. Invest the time in visiting an audiologist to get earphones and earplugs customized for your ears.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9W11QM?tag=photomatt08-20\">Belkin Rockstar headphone splitter</a>, great for sharing audio with others, especially if they have #8.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small USB-C to 1/8th inch converter, to be extra though <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F8M9PDG/?tag=photomatt08-20\">upgrade to this one from Belkin with power</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKGR5B76/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Rolling Square inCharge XL 6-in-1 Multi Charging Cable</a>, nice compact all-in-one I’ve been playing with. They make some <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/stores/RollingSquare/page/FAB0F15F-9BCA-46AF-A453-A2157CD94CC9?tag=photomatt08-20\">other interesting accessories</a>. A 100w Swiss army knife of cables, and the thing they do combining Lightning and Micro-USB is so cool.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C85BVS5V/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Baseus has made a retractable 100w/5a USB-C beautiful cord</a>. This is probably the one you’ll want to carry around. Someday it will replace all other cables when we achieve USB-C nirvana.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JG2YRFB/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Chafon USB-C multi-cable is my ultimate workhorse</a>, what I use the most. It’s available at different lengths. I like the way the attachments can be moved around, but there is some fragility being entered at every connection so I like to travel with these not linked so they don’t bend or break.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY8Q69DC?tag=photomatt08-20\">Tiny Miisso 6000mah battery pack with cables built in</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C34DL6Z7/?tag=photomatt08-20&th=1\">Pixel Fold</a>. I always try to have an Android device for testing and the pixel fold has been a interesting one, because I found myself using it in ways that feel like sci-fi. Reading a book on the Kindle where you can turn the pages it’s really nice. It’s just a fun tool.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1N7SGMZ/?tag=photomatt08-20&th=1\">Pixel Buds Pro</a>, they sound remarkably good. Airpods for Android.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHWRXH8B/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Airpods Pro</a>, now with USB-C as God intended. I have a little robot on mine. Just amazing, and how great that you can buy them anywhere in the world. This is the first thing I’d replace if I lost it.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-15-pro\">iPhone 15 Pro</a>, now that it has USB-C, my favorite iPhone ever. No notes.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T9CHYOU/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Maruman N196A Nemosine Notebook</a>, great paper. I have a small Pilot Couleur pen tucked into the spiral binding. Both brands are Japanese and I think I picked them up on a trip there, probably at the amazing <a href=\"https://store.tsite.jp/daikanyama/english/\">Daikanyama T-Site</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q5VZ8PU/?tag=photomatt08-20\">OHTO Needle Point Knock 0.7mm pen</a>, a nice daily driver. I was carrying around a <a href=\"https://www.montblanc.com/en-us/ballpoint-pens_cod19971654707127749.html\">Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania DouĂ© ballpoint pen</a> but I lost it somewhere.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://ugmonk.com/pages/analog\">Notecards from Ugmonk Analog</a>. I really enjoy everything they make, great company, I keep these on every desk as well. These cards are often what drives my day.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B495319/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, finally with USB-C</a>! I prefer the <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7TLZF4/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Oasis</a>, but they inexplicably haven’t updated it to be USB-C, so I carry the Paperwhite instead.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJLF3QVN/?tag=photomatt08-20\">11-inch iPad Pro</a>, always great in a pinch. I have the pen in case I magically develop an ability to draw and the keyboard and alway-connected 5G makes this great for hopping on Slack or <a href=\"https://texts.com/\">Texts</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-35w-foldable-compact-dual-usb-c-port-wall-charger-for-iphone-ipad-macbook-air-samsung-smartphones-tablets-and-more-white/6504662.p?skuId=6504662\">35w dual USB-C charger, from Insignia</a> I probably picked up at Best Buy. <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N94ZVFX/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Here is a 40w Amazon alternative I recommend and usually carry</a>. This is one of the items I give away the most, so I must have given away my Highsay version.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091Z6JNX4/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Ugreen 100w 4-port compact charger</a>, this is what I break out when I want to charge my laptop quickly.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09H6PJDWB/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Belkin 37-Watt Dual USB Car Charger</a>, I use this very rarely now but it’s great in a pinch, especially on older cars that have very weak USB ports.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG9192B4/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Epicka travel adapter</a>. Nice that it has some built-in ports, but I rarely use them. I probably should switch back to the smaller and lighter Muji adapter.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Still my favorite power cable:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVW27Y1Y/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Baseus 60w</a>. I tried the higher watt models, they didn’t always work on planes. This is a 6-foot extension cord and can charge a laptop directly. Really a joy. When they do an all-USB-C version I’ll probably upgrade..</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MT0H3AM/A/apple-watch-magnetic-fast-charger-to-usb-c-cable-1-m\">Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger</a>, of course with USB-C</li>\n\n\n\n<li>This year, I’ve been focused more on my overall health. As I’m getting into the habit of moving my body everyday, the <a href=\"https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-ultra-2/\">Apple Watch Ultra 2</a> has been motivating because it’s great at letting me know how much I don’t run. Jokes aside, I’m a data person so seeing the numbers of my habits have helped me optimize my goals. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>A candle can make a space feel cozy. Though I don’t travel with my own candle, I like to have my trusted <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GLRLH25/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Rechargeable Candle Lighter</a>. Light fire with USB! </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MF60UC/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Swiss Army Card</a>, let’s talk about cool gadgets. I use every feature of this card on a regular basis during my travels. It’s incredibly compact and slim. I’ve had to reorder this card a couple of times because they will confiscate the tiny knife. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KYTR0HM/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Petzl e+LITE Headlamp</a>, as a former boy scout, I’m always prepared for anything including a potential blackout. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://lockpicktools.com/folding-pocket-set/\">Lockpick set</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VW8QH4N/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Carabiner</a> is always good to have on hand.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>You know, a <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HS3JKDC/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Disposable mask</a> is just good practice. This mask shape is my favorite and very comfortable. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062ALC9U/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Immunity Throat Spray</a> was recommended to me by Paul Stamets. I’m not sure if it’s a placebo, but I haven’t gotten sick. Thus, 3 sprays twice a day will keep the doctor away… for me at least. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lately, I’ve been curious about the quality of air. I carry the <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YY7BH2W/?tag=photomatt08-20\">Aranet4 CO2 monitor</a> to gain insight about different spaces. <a href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthybuildings/2021/09/09/impacts-of-indoor-air-quality-on-cognitive-function/\">Higher CO2 literally makes your brain slower</a>!</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Winter is coming… <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FD7W4SD/?tag=photomatt08-20\">BioDerma Chapstick</a> is my go-to for dry lips. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>I must admit I don’t really eat the mints from this <a href=\"http://www.marunao.com/cms_en/products/308/\">Marunao Mint Case</a>. However, I have a high admiration for this elegantly crafted case. It has a soft finish feel and a satisfying magnetic closure.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKMY834?tag=photomatt08-20\">Kikkerland Red Plaid Earphone Case</a> is where I store my custom molded ear plugs. </li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DX1G5YM?tag=photomatt08-20\">SmartMouth travel packets</a> was the best recommendation I received in 2019. It really tackles mouth hygiene well for all day freshness. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloth card holder / wallet, simple minimalist way to carry some extra cards and a few bills. I believe <a href=\"https://tim.blog/\">Tim</a> uses one of these as well.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://twitter.com/helenhousandi/status/746057671531429889\">WordPress ring</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.sea2see.org/products/treviso-sun?variant=20495073771618\">Sea2See Sunglasses.</a> Sunglasses made from recycled plastic collected from the ocean. I discovered this from a goodie bag at the <a href=\"https://brilliantminds.co/\">Brilliant Minds conference</a> and have since purchased more to have it everywhere I go.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small plastic holder I got from my sister that helps me carry around stickers without them getting crinkled.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hermes business card holder. There are some occasions where exchanging business cards is a ritual. Also great to wedge it in a door jamb to keep it from autolocking. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passport, never leave home without it. Always be ready for adventure! My passport photo is actually AI-generated, because, why not? We live in the metaverse.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.sleepmastereurope.com/\">Eye Mask</a>. I like these because the material feels nice on the skin and the wraparound is excellent for blocking out the light and some sound since it covers your ears. Great for sleeping or just needing a moment away from overstimulating environments. Similar one <a href=\"https://us.drowsysleepco.com/products/eye-mask\">here</a> (the version I have doesn’t appear readily available outside of Europe). </li>\n\n\n\n<li>REI Goretex mittens. They’re shell liners, lightweight and water resistant. The ones I have are an older version and no longer in stock. <a href=\"https://www.rei.com/product/194829/rei-co-op-minimalist-gtx-mittens-20?color=BLACK\">Version 2.0 available.</a> There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gloves, nice in the winter but I carry them year round in case I need to carry wood or something. Also the fingertips have the conductive material that makes it touchscreen compatible for devices.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is a <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035N09CS/?tag=photomatt08-20\">grey wool buff</a>, which works as a scarf, a hat, or an eye cover if I’m trying to sleep. I tried this out because of one of <a href=\"http://tynan.com/gear2017\">Tynan’s also-great gear posts</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://www.gorewear.com/us/en-us/m-gore-windstopper-thermo-beanie-100391\">Gore Thermo Beanie</a>, my favorite feature are the slits by the ears for sunglasses. Kept my eyes and ears protected while in Antarctica with Tim. He and I recorded a podcast episode in our tent talking about our personal fears, bucket lists, and more. <a href=\"https://pca.st/qmwhc7zz\">Have a listen</a>!</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aersf.com/collections/backpacks/products/fit-pack-3\">Aer Fit Pack 3 backpack</a>, embroidered black-on-black with Automattic and WordPress logos. I upgraded this year from version 2 to 3, which changed some of the interior pockets a bit, and most notably added outside side pockets, which I have found super useful.

As the effects of global warming - or climate change, depending on your preferred terminology - become more apparent, the need to find a way to generate energy without damaging the Earth becomes all the more important. \r\n\r\nOne of the most talked about methods of making energy is <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\">solar power</a>. As the name would suggest, solar power involves taking the energy of the sun and using that energy to generate electricity on Earth. \r\n\r\nWhile solar power is not a new concept, it is nevertheless looking like it will receive much focus during the search for renewable energies. \r\n\r\nSolar power works by concentrating the heat of the sun in a specific place. To do this, solar panels or heliostats are erected in the sun\'s glare, where they capture heat. \r\n\r\nThe surfaces of these panels are usually mirrored or shiny, so as to increase the already potent heat of the sun. \r\n\r\nThis heat is then used to generate electricity through a variety of methods; the most common of these is to use the heat to boil water and general steam, which is then used to power a traditional electricity generator.\r\n\r\nSolar power is not infallible as a technology, but it is more reliable than was first previously thought. Despite popular conviction, it is possible to generate electricity using solar panels on overcast days, which opens the technologies up to most countries. \r\n\r\nFor solar power to be truly effective, however, the panels need to be placed where they receive continual sunlight and heat throughout the year. \r\n\r\nFor this reasons, countries such as Spain are becoming the pioneers of solar power - though their scientific advances will eventually benefit us all.', 'An Introduction To Solar Power ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'an-introduction-to-solar-power', '', '', '2011-06-12 09:03:26', '2011-06-12 14:03:26', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=3', 0, 'post', '', 0), (2, 1, '2009-08-24 04:10:46', '2009-08-24 09:10:46', 'This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from.

Fossil fuels include oil and coal; essentially, generating electricity from already-formed substances found on earth. \r\n\r\nMost of us have seen gigantic oil rigs towering on the horizon and coal mining is still an important industry for many countries; it is from these industries we get most of our energy and electricity. \r\n\r\nHowever, there is a problem. Fossil fuels such as oil and coal are not sustainable resources; in essence, one day, they will run out. \r\n\r\nOil and coal generate over thousands - if not tens of thousands - of years, and humans have been tapping these resources ever since the Industrial Revolutions of the 19th century. While it may sound like scare mongering, one day these fuels will cease to exist. \r\n\r\nVarious estimates can be found on how much fossil fuel is left, though most scientists agree we have mined over the \'half way\' point. \r\n\r\nThis is means that the Earth only has around 40% of its total supply of fossil fuels left to give, and it would take millennia to create more naturally. \r\n\r\nTherefore, the search for renewable and sustainable energy has become pressing. Various options are being presented, most of which capitalize on the free natural resources of the planet we live on. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\">Wind and solar power</a> are increasingly spoken of as the natural alternatives to fossil fuels, while tidal and water power are also viable alternatives. \r\n\r\nWhichever method is chosen as the way forward for energy generation, they will need to both viable and sustainable so they can meet the world\'s increasing demand for energy.', 'Renewable Energy vs. Fossil Fuels ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'renewable-energy-vs-fossil-fuels', '', '', '2011-06-12 09:04:07', '2011-06-12 14:04:07', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=4', 0, 'post', '', 0), (5, 1, '2009-08-24 04:17:54', '2009-08-24 09:17:54', 'With solar power being flaunted as one of the realistic alternatives to the burning of fossil fuels, it is only natural that enlightened thoughts are turning to the reliability of the energy it can create. \r\n\r\nAfter all, the sun is an intermittent energy source. It does not always shine, with most countries experiencing cloud cover for large portions of the year. \r\n\r\nThere is also the issue that the sun is only available for, at most, 12 hours out of every 24. Could the world\'s energy demands really be sustained from what seems like such an unreliable heat source? \r\n\r\nThe answer is probably no, which is why solar energy is only being spoken of as one of the options for continued energy production. \r\n\r\nHowever, solar energy is one of the most viable of the options mentioned, even if it could not meet the entire world\'s demands for energy by itself. \r\n\r\nThe reason for this is simple; the sun is a constant. The sun will continue to shine for as long as there is life on earth; by the time the sun begins to dim, the earth as we know it will begin to die. \r\n\r\nUnlike the expendable resources of coal and oil, this makes the sun very dependable - it will be here for as long as the world will. \r\n\r\nThe sun is also relatively easy to \'tap\' into, as it shines directly onto earth and needs no human interaction for it to work to its full potential. \r\n\r\nWhile manufacturing solar panels can be expensive, they are relatively hassle free once created, and the only engineering they require to function is to be pointed as directly as possible toward the sun. \r\n\r\nThis is certainly more viable than having to dig into the earth for coal, or send rigs out to sea to collect oil. \r\n\r\nSolar power is, therefore, a reliable energy source. How effective it is is a matter of debate, but one should largely assume that much - if not all - of the world\'s demand for energy can be satisfied by our most powerful celestial friend.', 'How Reliable Is Solar Power?

Solar panels need solar light (and it is assumed, heat) to function; without sun rays hitting the panels, it would make sense that no energy could be produced. \r\n\r\nHowever, there is a difference in what we consider to be the sun\'s power and what is the actual power of the sun. \r\n\r\nWe as humans associate solar rays with strong, yellow sunshine in a cloudless sky; the kind of weather conditions that have you reaching for a hat and for sunblock. \r\n\r\nWhile solar panels will flourish in these conditions, just because the sky is overcast or the temperature is low does not mean solar panels will cease to function. \r\n\r\nThis is because the sun is always casting rays down on earth, even if there is cloud cover interrupting its route to the surface of our planet. \r\n\r\nMany people each year, much to their surprise, find themselves suffering sunburn on what appeared to be a cloudy and overcast day. This is because the sunlight is still getting through, but it is just more filtered and obstructed than usual. \r\n\r\nFor solar energy, the important part of the above sentence is that the sun is still getting through. \r\n\r\nEven when we would consider the sun not to be shining, it is - unless it is night time!

Can solar panels function when there is precious little sunlight? \r\n\r\nThe simple answer is, yes. Even in winter, most countries experience six to seven hours of daylight, and to an extent this is all a solar panel needs to function. \r\n\r\nSolar panels, despite the name, do not necessarily need direct, hot sunlight to produce electricity; but what they do need is light. \r\n\r\nIn daytime, some of the sun\'s rays are getting through to earth even when it is cold and overcast. Quite simply, if these rays weren\'t getting through the cloud cover, it would not appear to be daytime! \r\n\r\nTherefore, for as long as it is daytime, solar panels can function and produce electricity to a degree. \r\n\r\nTemperature is a relatively unimportant consideration in solar panel development; in fact, some experiments have shown that the mechanisms and generation systems of solar panels actually function better when it is colder. \r\n\r\nAll electrical systems slow down somewhat in intense heat - such as trying to use a laptop on a hot day - and the crisper temperatures of winter can allow solar panels to work to their full potential. \r\n\r\nWhile all of the above it is true, it is nevertheless also a fact that the output of solar panels is effected by a lack of daylight - something which is characteristic with winter. \r\n\r\nOne would not get the same effective output on a winter\'s day as one would on a summer\'s day, and for this reason other energy generation sources are required for the winter months. \r\n\r\nThankfully, in most countries winter may decrease the amount of solar output, but the weather changes in a way that is beneficial to other renewable energies - such as tidal or wind power, which may be less effective in the more temperate summer months.\r\n\r\n ', 'Can Solar Panels Work In Winter?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'can-solar-panels-work-in-winter', '', '', '2011-06-12 09:05:24', '2011-06-12 14:05:24', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=7', 0, 'post', '', 0), (8, 1, '2009-08-24 04:18:47', '2009-08-24 09:18:47', 'The concept of solar generated energy has the kind of truths behind it that would make the vast majority of advertising executives salivate. \r\n\r\nFirstly, the environmental considerations of using solar energy are huge.

Yes, everyone. \r\n\r\nSolar panels can replace your dependence on electricity and gas - two of the most used utilities in any given home. \r\n\r\nFor the first few years what you save will be largely offset by the cost of the solar panels being installed, but most companies estimate that people will genuinely be saving money by their seventh or eighth year with solar panels. \r\n\r\nReduction in energy bills could be as high as 30% - no matter what or who you are, from a tiny flat to a large six bedroom detached house. \r\n\r\nPurchasing and installing solar panels should be seen as an investment rather than a quick fix for your energy bills soaring. \r\n\r\nHowever, there are various grants and loans available for people wishing to help switch their homes to solar energy - check your local authority to see if you, and the environment, could benefit.', 'Would Solar Power Save You Money?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'would-solar-power-save-you-money', '', '', '2011-06-12 09:06:14', '2011-06-12 14:06:14', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=9', 0, 'post', '', 0), (10, 1, '2009-08-24 04:19:17', '2009-08-24 09:19:17', 'Just outside of the city of Seville in Spain, one can see a monolith that largely resembles something from the Lord of the Rings. \r\n\r\nA huge, towering eye stands a 115 meter high tower, looking out over a sea of large, shiny reflective objects. To the innocent bystander it is an odd, or even alarming sight, but what is happening in this small corner of Spain could indeed be the future of energy. \r\n\r\nThe monolith is in fact a PS10 tower, a technical name for what is essentially a huge solar panel. Like many solar panels, it gathers the sun\'s heat and boils water to create steam; this, in turn, creates electricity, which can then be used to power anything from a small town to the oven in your kitchen. \r\n\r\nWhat makes the PS10 Tower different, however, is that it does not just receive sunlight directly from the sun. \r\n\r\nWhile it would be effective in doing so, the PS10 Tower looks out over 624 movable mirrors, known as heliostats, all of which are positioned to shine the sun\'s rays directly onto the solar panels atop the tower. \r\n\r\nIf it sounds complicated, that\'s because it is - but essentially, what the PS10 Tower generates in power which then becomes electricity is 624 times more powerful than your average solar panel. \r\n\r\nThanks to the heliostats bouncing the sun\'s rays directly on to its receiving panels, the PS10 is able to create steam to drive a generator at a rate previously unheard of for solar technology. \r\n\r\nWhat\'s more, the experiment has proved so successful that a second tower and second bed of heliostats - the PS20 Tower - has now been built.

While 80mph may seem pretty good, the cost of getting to that speed was extortionate - well out of the reach of most household budgets. \r\n\r\nThe other flaw is the design; solar panels on solar powered cars need to cover a large area atop the car to function, which leads to designs including wide wings and flat roofs.

The versions of wind turbines we see now are merely an extension of an old idea; using the wind for power is no new concept. \r\n\r\nWhat is new is using the wind to generate electricity. \r\n\r\nIn the past, farmers would use windmills - the forerunner to the wind turbine, which in design they closely resemble - to power machinery to grind corn. \r\n\r\nThese windmills can still be seen around the world, with Holland a well known location for windmills.

This effect is both psychological and physical, though there is more evidence for the former. \r\n\r\nThe issue of physical health problems caused by living near a wind farm are a matter of much debate in the medical community. \r\n\r\nThe psychological problems are more basic.

If one lives near enough to an active wind farm, this shadow may fall on your home at various points of the day. \r\n\r\nTo many homeowners, this in itself is annoying, particularly if they live in rural areas and did not expect to have to deal with shadows falling on their property. \r\n\r\nHowever, this is not the sole concern of those living near an active wind turbine.

For example, a singular wind turbine in Reading, England generates enough power to satisfy the electricity demands of 1,000 homes nearby. \r\n\r\nIndividual wind turbines also have an advantage over wind farms in that they do not require a lot of space. \r\n\r\nNumerous wind turbines combined to create a wind farm will require acres of land on which to erect the turbines and their electricity generators; just one wind turbine obviously only needs a fraction of this space. \r\n\r\nFor this reason, individual wind turbines are being considered a viable solution for urban areas, where there is not enough floor space to erect anything more than a singular turbine. \r\n\r\nWhile it is unlikely the future includes the idea of every street having its own wind turbine generating close-by electricity, the idea of individual wind turbines is growing. \r\n\r\nWe could well see a day when town planning includes the usual wind turbine to generate electricity, and from an environmental point of view alone, this is wonderful progress.', 'Individual Wind Turbines', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'individual-wind-turbines', '', '', '2011-06-12 09:00:06', '2011-06-12 14:00:06', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=23', 0, 'post', '', 0), (24, 1, '2009-08-24 04:24:27', '2009-08-24 09:24:27', '\r\n', 'Wind And Solar Store', '', 'draft', 'open', 'closed', '', 'store', '', '', '2024-01-21 06:21:49', '2024-01-21 11:21:49', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?page_id=24', 0, 'page', '', 0), (26, 1, '2009-08-24 04:24:41', '2009-08-24 09:24:41', '<iframe width=\"500\" height=\"407\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fft4UT7kGxg\" title=\"Are perovskite cells a game-changer for solar energy?\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe>', 'Videos', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'videos', '', '', '2024-01-21 06:26:20', '2024-01-21 11:26:20', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?page_id=26', 0, 'page', '', 0), (28, 1, '2009-08-24 04:25:22', '2009-08-24 09:25:22', ' <!-- privacy-policy -->', 'Privacy Policy', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'privacy-policy', '', '', '2009-08-24 04:25:22', '2009-08-24 09:25:22', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?page_id=28', 0, 'page', '', 0), (30, 1, '2009-08-24 04:25:48', '2009-08-24 09:25:48', '[contact-form-7 id=\"131\" title=\"Contact form 1\"]', 'Contact us', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'contact', '', '', '2012-08-11 10:03:50', '2012-08-11 15:03:50', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?page_id=30', 0, 'page', '', 0), (125, 1, '2012-01-02 09:22:39', '2012-01-02 14:22:39', '', 'Tos', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'tos', '', '', '2012-01-02 09:22:39', '2012-01-02 14:22:39', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?page_id=125', 0, 'page', '', 0), (73, 1, '2011-09-23 12:53:37', '2011-09-23 17:53:37', 'When we think of advanced vehicles it reminds us of speed that a vehicle has and all the newer vehicles that are coming out with all the modern gadgets and gizmos. Every time we turn the ignition on our vehicle we are sending a bad sign out into the world and the atmosphere. Scientist have worked rather hard at coming up with a way that our cars can be safe for our planet. So how is that done? \r\n\r\nAdvanced fuel systems include energy storage which is the batteries that help power it instead of the fuels, power electronics, thermal comfort and systems analysis. These fuel systems are constantly being studied and have made outstanding research and development topics. The main focus on the fuel systems in advanced vehicles is to find an alternative fuel in order to cut down on pollution and to restore our economy. We cannot continue buying fuels forever. We need an alternative to fuel. Sometime in the future, fuel will no longer be available for us to use. Advanced vehicles are designed to make it more efficient to run at top speeds. Convenience is another advantage to the advanced vehicles.\r\n\r\nThey plug in and charge instead of running out of fuel and refilling the tank. Running these cars may not break any records but it can help tremendously knowing that they are running clean. Ultracapacitors are designed to provide additional power to accelerate for climbing hills. Vehicle power electronics controls the amount of electricity through the devices. This may be the ignition, DC to DC converters, inverters, and motor controllers. \r\n\r\nVehicle Thermal comfort is how you control your temperature inside the car. You may have to roll the windows down or put them up. Turn the heat on or the air conditioning on. No matter what you have to do this is thermal comfort. The main goal for such an invention is to come up with a vehicle that can get us where we need to go in the amount of time that we allow ourselves. In the fast paced world that we live in today, it is hard to find someone who has the time to spend waiting on their vehicles to get repaired or refueled. That is because we need that vehicle to be up and running when we need it the most. Scientist are studying the car factor and what it will do for us in the future and what it has done for us in the past. As they strive to gather more information they can better the way the advanced vehicles have made it through. \r\n\r\nAdvanced vehicles are on the go and will one day be the car that we decide to buy because that may be our only choice in the future.

These systems work to concentrate the sunlight to one area and use the heat to heat up the liquid that flows along the pipes. This system is called Parabolic-trough system. This type of system heats oil that is flowing through the pipe. The oil is hot and that is why it is used to boil water to power a steam generator which in turns powers electricity. \r\n\r\nThe reason that this system works so well is because the U-shaped mirrors attracts and collects the suns heat which is then transferred onto the receiver. The receiver absorbs the heat and transfers into fluid which helps to power the engine. The heat causes the fluid to swell up against the piston and that produces mechanical power. \r\n\r\nThis type of power can be used to run things like generators or even an alternator that will produce electricity. This system works great when because it uses molten salt that flows through the receiver. When the salt heats up it can generate electricity through the steam generator. The salt holds in the heat for several days before it has to be converted into electricity. \r\n\r\nBecause this system uses so many panels it is mainly used for industrial solar power where acres of land can be donated to the Parabolic Trough. There can be enough power in the network that can create energy for several days or more. Because this system is so large that it allows the heat that it saves to be transferred days later. \r\n\r\nThrough this project and other solar power projects we can understand fully how solar power works. When we see how much <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> is conserved using these U shaped mirrors we can also understand how much energy is lost. \r\n\r\nUsing concentrating solar power systems are beneficial to the businesses that use them because they won\'t have so much time down when the power fails. Machinery is their only major concern and as long as their machines are taken care of there should be no problems. \r\n\r\nIndustrial type of solar power can attract and trap a lot of heat from the sun during the day, especially using mirrors that will reflect the sunlight. It also helps to have this type of solar power out in an open field free of trees and vegetation that may grow around and at some point crowd the solar light out. \r\n\r\nScientist are continuously studying this theory as businesses use it to power their machinery. Steam power was what was used from the beginning with solar power and is still what most systems depend on to service their production needs. In the future, fields may eventually be full of mirrors that somewhat point up to the sky in hopes of generating enough sunlight to heat the world.

This may sound difficult but it is possible. You experience energy from the wind whenever someone runs past you quickly. A second after they pass you can feel the wind from them going by. This wind that you feel if produced in a great amount can be converted into energy. \r\n\r\nYou may have seen the tall turbines standing in the fields when you drive by. There is the older classic model windmill that helped to crush grain when the windmill blades would turn, it would turn a mechanism inside which was attached to a device that would crush grain for flour. There are several different locations that are perfect for the wind power and depending on where they are as to how much energy they produce. \r\n\r\nOffShore Turbines can be placed offshore in order to produce energy from wind in the air and from the water. They don\'t bother the view as much when they are out on the water and the noise that they make cannot be heard on land. The average wind speed is higher on the water because the water has less surface roughness and can use every part of energy from the wind. \r\n\r\nThere are several different locations today that you might see wind turbines offshore and there are more building in the future. The one main complaint with people and turbines is the noise they make. It is constant and annoying to some. The other complaint is that they are tall and not pleasant to look at.\r\n\r\nWhile all of these are true the main reason for wind turbines is to find an alternative to using fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources to produce our power. When a tower is built offshore it may cost more money in the long run because the towers need to be higher so there will be no restrictions. Turbines access power through undersea cable which may use high voltage direct current. The sea salt may also cut down on the length of time these turbines stay in shape. \r\n\r\nNear Shore These turbines can be seen but not heard. They are on water so they can produce enough energy compared to being totally on the land. Because the sea shore lines are considered to be very windy due to the tides coming in and the wind on the water, it becomes the perfect location for a turbine. \r\n\r\nThere are issues and concerns with how wildlife is using these towers and zones for their nesting and habitats. There is another concern that the shoreline wind farms are not in the best interests of those who wish to come to the shore line to visit. \r\n\r\nIt becomes a sight to see and hear the generation of power through these <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">power wind mills</a>. The size of the towers can be minimal but this causes controversy as well because the smaller the tower the lesser amount of energy to produce. \r\n\r\nOff shore and near shore are the choices we have.

When you use solar power to heat your water you may find that you will need to purchase a solar powered water heater in order to do that. You may be able to make adjustments to your existing one but what ever steps you take to turn it into solar power it will be worth it. \r\n\r\nThere are several different ways to heat your water using solar power. You can even make your own solar power source. The water runs through pipes before it enters your home. Heating water using solar power will occur before the water gets into your home as it passes by the solar source that attracted the light. You may also have a tank to store the water in that can heat the water up. In order to heat your water successfully you will need to have both a solar collector and a storage tank. \r\n\r\nA flat plate collector is the most common collector. It is designed to be a thin, flat rectangular box that has a see through cover and it can carry fluid to be heated. This fluid could be the water or it may be a solution, such as antifreeze that will prevent the water from freezing. Next the water moves through the tubes to an absorber plate. \r\n\r\nThis plate is painted black to attract and absorb the heat from the sun. When the collector gets hot, it will heat the fluid that passes through the tubes. As the water passes through the tubes it goes into the storage tank. The storage tank holds the heated water. It is usually well insulated so the water will stay warm longer. Then the water flows into the home on demand. \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Solar water heating systems</a> are divided into two groups: Active and passive. When the heating systems are active, that means that they rely on the pumps or other mechanical device that can move the water between the flat plate collector and the storage tank. Active is the most common because it is quicker and more efficient. The passive system relies on gravity to feed the water from the flat plate collector to the storage tank. \r\n\r\nThis may be slow at times and may not be sufficient enough to keep up with the demand. Both ways are logical and may be more of a choice of preference for you. Another thought that you need to consider is that if your flat plate collector and your storage tank is not angled right it may be hard for the gravity to feed the liquid through. \r\n\r\nHeating water using solar power is very affordable and can be installed with minimal effort.

If electric and gas become hard to manage you may want to consider heating your home with the sun. Solar energy is the heat that comes from the sun down to the earth. When it reaches the earth it spreads evenly but you may need it to go to a certain area like your home. How do you get that much sunlight to heat a home? It\'s easy to do and takes a few extra steps to help get it started. \r\n\r\nBuilding or Remodeling your Home\r\n\r\nIf you are building your home you have several choices to choose from regarding your heating source. If you choose to heat from the sun you need to build your home facing in the direction that the sun rise\'s. This allows your home to get the most sunshine during the hottest part of the day. \r\n\r\nBuying <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar powered glass windows</a> allow the sun to come through and stay in the home without escaping back out. After the sun goes down your home is kept warm by the sunlight that came into the home during the day. You need to keep the door shut in order to keep the heat in and you also need to use insulated curtains on the windows at night so that the heat will not escape at night while you sleep. Make sure you don\'t allow too many windows on the side of the house that faces the evening sun as it may cause the home to cool down quickly.\r\n\r\nRemodeling your home to use the sun as a natural heating source is fairly easy to do. Although you can\'t change the direction that your home is built in to face the morning sun you can still trap the sunlight that shines through and reduce the amount of time that you use another source of heat. \r\n\r\nYou may want to consider building a sun room onto the side that catches the morning sun allowing it to heat up naturally and then install ceiling fans that will circulate the air into the parts of the house. During the day this may provide enough heat to maintain the warmth in your home. \r\n\r\nWhen remodeling your home, it will help to install solar power windows that are specially designed to attract the sunlight and allow it to come into the house but not let it escape. This is a natural way to heat your home.\r\n\r\nUsing sunlight to heat your home is an excellent way to safe money on your heating bill and also to improve the environment. You can install a backup heating source incase the sunlight does not heat your home efficiently during the day because of clouds.

These are the non-renewable resources that we rely heavily on today. We use these non-renewable resources to do many things, including supplying us with power, heating our homes, businesses and schools and more. \r\n\r\nWhen we use all the non-renewable resources up and there are no more to gather, then what? How will we go without the convenience that we are so accustomed to? It\'s nice to flip a switch to get power and it is even better when the latest technology allows us to press a button to do all the things that women and men had to work for hours to accomplish. We are fortunate to live in a world with so many modern gadgets. Unfortunately when we lose it we may be so accustomed to the modern perks that we will not know what to do when we don\'t have them any longer. \r\n\r\nWhat we have to rely on in the future is renewable resources. These resources are all resources that offer us an abundant supply and will never run out. They recharge and allow us to enjoy them again and again. The renewable resources consist of Solar, Wind, Biomass, Hydrogen, Geothermal, Ocean, and Hydropower We need all of these and right now we have access to each one of them. What do they do and how do they help us with solar power? Let\'s find out.\r\n\r\nSolar refers to the solar energy that we get everyday either directly or indirectly from the sun. <a href=\"http://solarblog.ikmangroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Solar energy</a> can be used for several things, such as heating, electricity to home, schools, businesses, or buildings, heating water, cooling and ventilation. \r\n\r\nWind helps the suns heat down to earth. When the wind combines with the heat of the sun, it causes evaporation. When the water turns into precipitation it produces energy that can then be captured by hydropower. \r\n\r\nHydropower takes energy from flowing water and captures it turning it into electricity. Hydropower is very complicated and requires a great deal of technology in order to successfully accumulate energy from water. \r\n\r\nBiomass is an organic matter that can help to make up the plants. It can be used for the production of electricity, transport fuels or chemicals. \r\n\r\nHydrogen is the most abundant element found on earth, usually with other elements. If hydrogen is found alone it can be burned or converted into electricity. \r\n\r\nGeothermal looks toward the inner parts of the earth for heat and can be used for power, heating, and cooling. \r\n\r\nOcean produces thermal energy using the heat from the sun. It can also use mechanical energy for the tides and waves. \r\n\r\nAs you can see the renewable resources are all around us. We know what they do and how we can use them. There are so many benefits to using renewable resources. If we don\'t use them now we may not have a choice later.

Teaching kids today how solar power works and how we can use it wisely will ensure that our future and theirs will be protected.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, learning about the harmful affects of our energy usage today is important for them to understand why there should be another way to produce energy. Because the electricity that we use today comes from non-renewable resources we are setting ourselves up for a big fall. \r\n\r\nWhen that resource runs out we will rely on an alternative to supply our power. Scientist are working today to ensure that when we do run out of that resource we will be able to switch over to another way without missing a beat.\r\n\r\nThe problem with that is we shouldn\'t wait until that resource is gone to switch over. We should be able to switch in the near future and preserve what we have left. Another problem with our energy production today is that it is harmful to the environment. \r\n\r\nIt pollutes the air and will eventually make it impossible for us to use the sun as a natural resource. We can\'t afford to lose that important alternative.

In order to make this affective we need to be able to find solar sources that are not expensive but can provide the solar power that we need. A standard home can benefit greatly to switching over to solar power. It is easy to do. \r\n\r\nAlso when you build your home you can build it using solar power as a way to naturally generate electricity into your home, heat your water, and other functions that can be controlled by using solar power. In the long run, we benefit by not paying for a resource that is slowly taking away from a natural resource. Our kids will be rewarded for our careful planning. \r\n\r\nAll ages can benefit from conserving solar power but it needs to start now in order to benefit the future. Teaching the kids the way to save the energy and how we need to come up with a way to save the solar power in the future in order to supply heating, water, and other necessities in large quantities rather than by individual houses, which is how we do it today.

You can find solar power in a parked car, in a building with no air circulating, in a home without windows opened or fans circulating the air. \r\n\r\nWhen you step into any of these places that have been in the sunlight for a while you soon become overpowered by the amount and the intensity of the heat. This kind of heat can be taken and converted into heat that can heat your home, your water, an outbuilding, or any other building you would like to have heat in.\r\n\r\nHeating by solar power is a free way of heating. When you heat using solar power you use a source that will direct the heat from the sunlight during the daytime to your solar source. A solar source is a device that you use to attract and trap the heat from the sun. \r\n\r\nJust like a car out in the parking lot gets hot when it faces the midday sun and the windows are rolled up. The seats can become very hot, too hot to sit on. These seats are a solar source because they trapped the heat inside and didn\'t want to let them go. When this happens the seats will still be warm long after the sun quits shining directly on that car. \r\n\r\nCreating a solar source can be easy to do with a little thought put into it. With a solar source you need to think about all the things that attract the sun, such as metal, the color black, glass that is tinted or clear, mirrors and more. There is an endless supply of idea to signal the heat your way and trap it for your use. \r\n\r\nTo get the heat to benefit your water system or even your heat, you need to come up with a way that you can circulate a liquid that when it passes by your solar source it will heat the water naturally because of the concentrated amount of heat that was trapped inside your solar source that day. \r\n\r\nWhen the liquid carries through the <a href=\"http://solarblog.ikmangroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power source</a> and travels into the home it can go directly to the water source where it can be kept warm, like a hot water tank, but naturally without using gas and electricity to keep it warm. \r\n\r\nThis solar source can be a great challenge to create but you will enjoy the rewards for years to come. You can also find solar sources in stores as well as online. Shopping for solar power items has never been easier and it is not expensive. \r\n\r\nComing up with a solution that will carry the heat into the home is simple and practical. If your idea is successful you will have heat during the winter and warm water all year around. The main goal is not only to preserve the natural resources and the environment but it is cost effective when you can use something that is natural that you need to use.', 'Make Your Own Solar Power Source', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'make-your-own-solar-power-source', '', '', '2011-11-03 03:55:15', '2011-11-03 08:55:15', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=80', 0, 'post', '', 0), (81, 1, '2011-10-01 14:17:57', '2011-10-01 19:17:57', 'It is a well known fact that the sun is the strongest from the south. People who want to conserve solar power uses this theory in order to get the most sun into their houses with minimal expense. If you are building a home that you want to be solar power, it is best to put the most windows facing the south side. \r\n\r\nAlthough it is not always true, depending on where you live, it is a general rule to go by. Passive technology turns sunlight into heat that can be used for several things, including ventilation and cooling. You can heat homes and businesses with passive solar. Passive solar systems depend on gravity fed and natural resources in order to make passive solar work. If it uses a pump or fan to force the liquid through, than it is an active solar.\r\n\r\nPassive solar technology offers direct and indirect gain for heating spaces, water heating systems, use of thermal mass and also phase change materials which helps to regulate the temperature indoors. There is also the solar cooking equipment, the solar chimney which allows for ventilation and earth sheltering. \r\n\r\nPassive solar can also be found in a solar furnace and solar forge, although these are a little more complicated. Sun rooms are another example of passive solar power as it lets the sun come into the room without allowing it to escape. There is no mechanism or no engine to power just the clear panes of glass attracting the sun and trapping it within. \r\n\r\nSolar gain is referring to the increase in temperature in an area, an object or a structure that is a result of solar radiation. The stronger the sun the more solar gain you have. A solar furnace is any huge object that is created in order to channel the heat directly to one place. \r\n\r\nThe heat can be unbearable but it does produce a lot of electricity from it. Temperatures can reach up to 3,000 degrees. When you compare the expenses associated with passive solar you realize that the cost of passive solar is minimal when you compare it to active wear.\r\n\r\nBecause there is no mechanism to power it makes it more affordable. With active solar you must have a device that can power the heat that you take in and used it. Passive solar is the most popular with those who are experimenting with the conception of solar power and may find that they like it enough to stick to it. \r\n\r\nWhen you are ready for an upgrade it is easy to move up to <a href=\"http://solarblog.ikmangroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">active solar power</a>. Adding a mechanism that will easily and conveniently pump the water on through the source is an effective way of combining today\'s technology with conservation and preservation that we have access to. \r\n\r\nPassive solar power is something that we will be seeing a lot of in the future as the need for solar power becomes more in demand. There will come a time when even those who depend on active solar may have to switch to passive solar.', 'Passive Solar Power', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'passive-solar-power', '', '', '2011-11-03 03:55:08', '2011-11-03 08:55:08', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=81', 0, 'post', '', 0), (82, 1, '2011-10-02 01:37:32', '2011-10-02 06:37:32', 'Solar power is the latest in saving the planet and conserving our energy. Solar power is energy produced from the sun and has great results when you use both energy and conservation. With solar power becoming more popular there is also the need for solar power products. \r\n\r\nPeople are now building solar power houses to live in more efficiently. They also want appliances, lighting, heating, water pumps and water heaters to be solar power efficient as well. That is why we now have a way of purchasing solar power appliances to use in the kitchen. Appliances are usually the most costly appliance in a home as they usually run almost continuously and get used often. \r\n\r\nAppliances Available\r\n\r\nNow you don\'t have to go through the time and effort of making your home solar power but using regular standard appliances. With solar power appliances it is easy to become solar power all the way. \r\n\r\nRefrigerators: The one great thing about solar power refrigerators is that they offer the convenience of a refrigerator and freezer in one at a minimal amount of cost. They are thermostat controlled which allows you to set the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer. There is minimal noise as it runs because the power to it is a natural constant flow. They also come in a variety of sizes as well as colors in order to fit into any solar power kitchen. \r\n\r\nAppliances that are Efficient: Not all appliances can be solar powered and for that reason appliances that are efficient are the next best thing. They conserve the energy that it takes to run that appliance and provide you with the service that you expect out of that appliance. Chest freezers, dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, washers and dryers are all appliances that can be purchased with efficiency to save on energy and money. When you use appliances that are efficient they usually cost more up front but in the long run they are worth the effort and can last you a lifetime with proper maintenance. \r\n\r\nToday most of the products and appliances that we buy are energy efficient and guaranteed to run on minimal energy which saves you money when you purchase it. Although you won\'t be able to see the cost decrease all at once you may notice it over time. There are several other ways that you can reduce the cost of appliances such as drying clothes on a clothes line indoors or outdoors to keep from running a clothes dryer.\r\n\r\nWashing the dishes by hand instead of in a dishwasher or using one or two days per week to wash clothing instead of one or two loads everyday is a great way to cut down expenses. Over time these helpful tips will decrease your bill and allow you to see a noticeable difference. When you save energy it benefits everyone. Once we can all use <a href=\"http://solarblog.ikmangroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> to provide energy we will all see a difference in the cost of energy.

Your RV could be a pull behind camper or a camper that you can drive. \r\n\r\nWhat ever you use RV\'s usually run off of electricity from another source or they have battery powered lights. When you use electric hook up in a camper you may want to consider turning your RV into a solar powered RV and never worry about electric hook ups again. Enjoy your vacation anywhere without restrictions.\r\n\r\nOnce you hook up to a power source you are able to have the comforts of home by turning on and off the lights and using the bathroom. If you cannot access a power outlet you may use a generator to supply power to the camper. These generators are nice in a pinch but you have the problems of running out of fuel to keep it going not to mention the noise that it makes. \r\n\r\nIf you want to turn your RV into a solar power RV it is simple to do and with little expense. There are a number of different products that you can buy to make camping fun and modern with little or no effort. \r\n\r\nYou can mount a solar panel to the RV camper in order to charge your energy in your RV. This is done by purchasing a solar panel mounting bracket that your solar panel will set on. You can buy RV solar panel kits that include both the mount and the panel. \r\n\r\nOnce it is installed you can power your camper and batteries using the suns warmth that was already there and it doesn\'t cost you an arm and a leg to do so. Run your solar panel wire to the battery compartment and you are ready to go. Each solar powered kit offers different wattages and sizes so you can select the right one for your RV size and what you will be using. \r\n\r\nWhen you are out on a camping trip you can feel good knowing that you can go anywhere you need to go. Your solar panel on top of your RV will also withstand any type of weather and because a camper is so small it won\'t take much solar power to operate the RV. Another hot solar powered item to buy for your RV is called the <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Solar Power Ventilator</a>. This provides the perfect ventilation system for small quarters, such as RV\'s. When it is hot in the summer or anytime that the sun is shining it doesn\'t take long for the RV to heat up and become very uncomfortable. The solar power ventilator will run all the hot air out and circulate the air with clean fresh air. \r\n\r\nWhen you take the RV out you want to enjoy your time in the great outdoors without giving up the fact that you have to rely on a power source or go without power completely. If you have to go without power you may find that it is inconvenient and hard to do, especially when you purchase an RV because of the way that it is convenient.', 'Solar Power for the RV', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'solar-power-for-the-rv', '', '', '2011-11-03 03:54:40', '2011-11-03 08:54:40', '', 0, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/?p=83', 0, 'post', '', 0), (84, 1, '2011-10-04 02:57:44', '2011-10-04 07:57:44', 'Have you ever noticed homes that have huge tinted windows in them as you drive by? You may wonder why someone would want such tall windows in their home. There is a reason for that and it is because of they are using solar power to heat their homes and to provide the energy they need to power it. Any home can be built to use <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> with just a few minor alteration to make and you too can build a solar power house that will save you a lot of money in the future as you use solar power to heat your home, pump and heat your water and also to provide energy to your home to power your appliances and lights in your home naturally and effectively without a monthly bill\r\n\r\nThere are just a few suggestions when building your solar power home. It depends on where you live as to which side of the house you should put the most windows on. For the most part is more common to assume that the sun rises more toward the south side of your home. \r\n\r\nThis is the side where you want to have the most windows in your home. That way you are allowing the sun to shine through and warm your home naturally. You also need to make sure that there are no trees that are directly close to the house that may prevent the sun from shining directly into the home. Don\'t use dark colors in your home to decorate with. Instead use bright and light colors that will attract the heat more evenly and benefits you more. \r\n\r\nAdding a solar source outside where you can use a solar power designed box to attract the heat from the sun can be transformed into energy to power your home and warm your water. \r\n\r\nThe products that it takes to get this accomplished will cost a little more than if you built a standard home without using solar power. The good thing about solar power is that it is an initial investment.\r\n\r\nOvertime when you totally rely on the sun to heat your home and all the other functions it can perform you will not have a monthly bill because you don\'t pay for the sun every month like you do with other power sources. \r\n\r\nUse ceiling fans to reduce the amount of time you may need to run your air conditioner. Ceiling fans can produce a more even amount of heat and air without having hot and cold pockets throughout the home. Use metal insulated doors that will keep out the cold and bring in the heat. Keep the doors closed during the time of day that the sun is shining in on that side of your home in order to save the heat inside your home longer. \r\n\r\nOwning a solar power home means that you are encouraging preserving our natural resources for the future.

Lighting is used in many different ways. \r\n\r\nYou can have different wattage bulbs of your lighting as well as different colors. Your lighting source may be a lamp, an overhead light, a porch light and a flash light, just to name a few. Light can be taken with us or left behind. The source that powers your light is what this article is about. Learn about indoor and outdoor lighting using solar power and ways you can get this type of lighting. \r\n\r\n<strong>Indoor Lighting </strong>\r\n\r\nSome really great ideas for indoor solar lighting include using it inside of your sheds, gazebos, garages, or inside your home. You don\'t need to continuously change light bulbs. The installation is easy and your maintenance is minimal. You need to install a solar panel that can receive the most possible sunlight in your area. That\'s it. Enjoy your lighting system all through the night. You will need to find a solar panel that is right for the size of building you will be providing light to. Once your indoor lighting has been installed you will be able to use the lighting both night and day. During the day you may not need it except on cloudy days. During the night you should have enough energy from the solar power to last you through the night. It is becoming the latest in lighting barns on farms as well because there is no wiring needed to get lighting out to the barn. \r\n\r\n<strong>Outdoor Lighting</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you are outside during the day you won\'t need much light but at night you will appreciate the lighting that you have installed using solar power. There are different types of outdoor lighting using solar power; flood lights, pond or pool lights, garden lights, post lights, spot lights, security lights, solar flag lights and sign lights. \r\n\r\nIf you have a pool or pond in your yard that you like to add lighting to it is easy to do and there are several choices to choose from as far as the design and shape. Everyone wants an eye catching yard that has been well taken care of and now your efforts can be reflected at night. \r\n\r\nIf you display a flag out in your yard people only see it at night, until now. Add your flag to a stand that is solar powered so it can be seen at all times. If your yard is too dark invest in security lighting that will work even when the power is off and trees are down. When the sun is out you are sure to have light at night. \r\n\r\nThe soft glow from <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power lights</a> calm and relax.

We use it in almost everything we do; we live in it, use it for all our modern conveniences and more. Without energy we wouldn\'t know what to do. In the past, before energy, there were lanterns for light and matches and wood for heat. \r\n\r\nThat was the only options people had. When power was accessible to everyone by running power lines through cities, towns, residential areas to allow everyone to tap into the new generation, people were skeptical as to how this would affect everyone in the future.\r\n\r\nOver the years, appliances became energy friendly, which made for less manual labor and more free time. Wash machines, dryers, dishwashers and the latest in cooking stoves that no longer needed wood. These were all great inventions and although people were skeptical they still took advantage of these appliances. \r\n\r\nToday we have the worry of saving the energy that we know and love so well. Our energy is fueled by non-renewable resources which will allow the depletion of these resources slowly and over time where we won\'t realize it until it is gone. We need to find an alternative to the way we power our energy but we also need to store the energy that we already have.\r\n\r\nSolar energy has been tested and experimented with as we learn more and more about how to conserve and store the natural heat from the sunlight. We all know how effective it is and why it is something that we should work very hard at conserving. Storing the solar energy can mean endless usage of water and other necessities by using conservative methods of saving energy. \r\n\r\nThermal mass systems are the process of using natural resources to make material that will store solar energy. This type of storage uses renewable resources from the earth, such as dirt, water and man made resources such as concrete to help store energy if only for a short period of time. \r\n\r\nThermal mass can help heat water at night or heat your home long after the sun goes down or on cloudy days when the sun doesn\'t peak through the clouds at all. These need to be worked on because there is no extensive long storage capability using <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> just yet. \r\n\r\nThen you have the thermo-chemically phase which uses types of devices to store heat. Some examples of this type of storage includes\r\n\r\nParaffin wax inside of a storage tank. When the paraffin wax is cold it is solid but when it is heated it is a liquid that can help hold heat for a very long time without cooling it down. As the paraffin wax cools it becomes hard which can hold the heat in longer. \r\n\r\nEutectic Salts are inexpensive and can store heat in a heating system which will distribute the heat evenly and lasting hotter longer. \r\n\r\nMolten Salts are an effective way to store solar energy because it allows the heat to remain hot without being non-flammable and cost effective. During the time that the storage tank is heating up, the salt mixture is heated and then used to make steam. \r\n\r\nRechargeable batteries can be a great way to store energy. This type of storage allows the power source connected to the battery maintain its power. Lead acid batteries are the more common battery used for this type of storage. \r\n\r\nAs you see there are several ways that we can store natural energy we just need to learn how to make these methods more practical and efficient.

When the sun\'s rays reach the earth\'s surface the intensity of the heat directly from the sun is not as hot because some of the heat is rerouted before it reaches the earth\'s atmosphere. When the sun is hot and it is summer time we think that it couldn\'t get much hotter as the mid day sun makes your run for shade, but it can get hotter if it wasn\'t rerouted.\r\n\r\nSolar power can be hot enough to power machinery and that is exactly what was discovered over one hundred years ago when a man working on machinery wondered if steam from the heat of the day could be used to power machinery. He was right and thus began a new form of production, heat and electricity. Today solar power is being used all around the world. \r\n\r\nThe solar power is being concentrated into a solar source where the heat is used in a variety of ways. We still rely on our way of heating and powering our homes but in the future it may all be powered by the sun. It is cost effective to use <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> as the only expense you have is in your solar source.\r\n\r\nIn order to use solar power you will need to have something that can attract the sun and allow the heat to be concentrated where it can stay warm for a long period of time. This is fairly easy when you consider all the knowledge and resources that we already have access to. When you use solar power for heating and power electricity you cannot go wrong. \r\n\r\nSolar power is entrusted in space shuttles as they know that this will help produce the most efficient energy with the least amount of complications. The solar panels are faced toward the sun at all times in order to be able to power the shuttle efficiently. \r\n\r\nThere are fewer problems from solar power than with other methods. Even though there are days that there are clouds in the sky and rain, snow or other weather, it is still possible to produce enough heat in your solar source to create enough energy to last until the sun can come back down. Solar power is in our future we need to be ready for it. \r\n\r\nRight now solar power is only being used by those who are more aware and worried about our earth\'s atmosphere when it is a concern that we should all be worried about. \r\n\r\nWe can learn a lot from the past and the way that <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> was used. Every minute of the sunlight was used doing everything that needed done because after the sun went down there was no more light. I don\'t think we could do that now.

These calculators may or may not have on and off switches. Some rely on the solar panel completely in order to stay or turn off. \r\n\r\nSolar power calculators need a certain amount of light inside the solar panel in order to turn the calculator on and perform what you want it to do; add, subtract, divide, multiply and more. The solar panel in a calculator is not as big as the one that you would to power your home. \r\n\r\nThe size needed for a calculator is adjusted before installation to provide the right amount of what it needs. Solar power products can be found in travel products, outdoor recreation, safety products, emergency products and more. \r\n\r\nRadios have are produced with a solar panel inside that transforms the sunlight into energy allowing you to listen to your radio while you are outside. You may also find solar power in flashlights, battery chargers, mobile phone chargers, watches, lanterns, emergency products such as sirens and lights. \r\n\r\nAs you see there are several products that are using the solar power technology. Portable chargers are great to use because they charge the product that you have using the sunlight just as easy as turning a calculator on. Camping equipment and supplies work well with solar power because it allows the sunlight during the day to supply their lanterns, flashlights and radios at night.\r\n\r\nCooking outdoors can also be done by using solar power in order to heat the element that will ignite and allow for even cooking.

Each one performs their own function and they each of their advantages and their disadvantages. You should pick the one that is best for you and your needs. They do have one thing in common and that is that they produce energy from winds. They just do it in a different way. \r\n\r\nVertical axis turbine has the main rotor shaft running vertically instead of horizontally. This direction can have its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is the gearbox can be put in the bottom of the turbine, unlike the horizontal turbines. All the weight is not at the top of the tower.\r\n\r\nIt also does not need to be pointed in the direction of the wind. The disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbines is that there can be pulsating torques that can happen during each turn when the turbine is running in the same direction as the wind. They produce a smaller amount of energy from the wind.\r\n\r\n<strong>Different Types of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines</strong>\r\n\r\nWindmill with a rotation sail. This type of turbine is the newest out there as it looks like sails on a ship once it is up and running. The sails can expand or contract to the changing winds. There is three sails on it and the speed is managed through magnetic counter that expands or contracts these vertical sails. It has a control unit that will help to control the sails so the damage will be minimal. The sails might tear but the frame is durable and will last through the storms. \r\n\r\nAerodynamic turbine is made up of airfoil base that is designed to capture the kinetic energy flowing from an artificial current to the center. It can utilize most of the air mass that passes through by redirecting it over the upper turbines. It can respond to wind and also rivers, creeks, oceans or other free flowing water systems. \r\n\r\nDarrieus Wind Turbines are efficient but because of their size and shape they can produce cyclic stress on the tower which can wear it out sooner. It features three blades that work well in higher winds. They are held up by external structures that are connected from the ground up.\r\n\r\nGiromill is a type of meal that features three vertical blades. It is self starting so the maintenance is low. These types of mills a low blade speed but they can create a high performance and success in channeling the energy from every turn of the blade.\r\n\r\nSavonius Wind Turbine mills have two scoops that are used for wind conversion. Some do come in three scoops that make it self starting. They look like long helicopter blades that are bent in a direction. This style and shape is to provide enough energy to be adequate. \r\n\r\nWindstar Turbines has straight aluminum blades that are attached on each end of the rotating shaft. This windmill features more than one rotor and they each have their own dual braking system that has pneumatic disc brakes. They are designed for <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">strong powerful winds</a>.\r\n\r\nThe advantages to running a vertical axis wind turbine is that they are easier to maintain and reduce cost, can withstand almost all wind, low high, smaller and easier to transport. The disadvantages are they take twice as much time to produce efficient energy from winds, need to be installed on flat land, low starting torque, some models use guyed wires which can add stress to the bottom.

There are several ways that we can capture the sun\'s heat even in winter times. In order to capture the sun\'s heat you need a solar source. This source can be something that will attract the sun rays but trap the heat from it when it enters the source. A good example is a sunroom.\r\n\r\nThese rooms are attached to a home or a building and are constructed of glass panels from the floor to the ceiling. It is usually facing the morning sun in order to get the full affect of the heat. When the sun shines into the room the glass allows the sunrays heat the furniture and everything in the room. These areas become the source that holds the heat in so that it will not escape back out of the glass. This type of heating is natural and can be very efficient if it is constructed correctly. \r\n\r\nOther forms of solar power heat are:\r\n\r\nThermal mass that absorbs and holds in the heat. It traps and holds heat while the sun is shining and disperses the heat when the sun goes down.\r\n\r\nTrombe Wall is a natural solar heating and ventilation system that uses air channels to hold the heat between a glass object and a thermal mass that is facing the sun. The sunlight gets trapped and stored inside this wall and is then circulated though vents and the top and the bottom of the wall. The wall radiates the heat.\r\n\r\nTranspired collector is also a wall that is used facing the sun. The wall absorbs the sunlight and heats the air when it enters into the ventilation system.\r\n\r\nSolar Cooling is a great way to ventilate a building. It absorbs the solar heat and cools it making ice with a solar powered steam engine that is attached to a cooling device.\r\n\r\nSolar Chimney is also a solar ventilation system. It is made of a thermal mass that is hollow inside. The chimney will warm the air inside the chimney and causing the heat to rise. The rise allows the air to circulate and vent properly. \r\n\r\nThere are several ways that we can provide heating and cooling to our homes, businesses, buildings or other structures that need to be heated. The ways listed above are by using all natural material that will pay off in the long run when you have heat using the sun and not an artificial heating source that may be produced by non-renewable resources. We all need heat no matter what. We need to find out what ways we can save the heat from the day to keep our house warm at night.

Solar energy is energy from the sun. When the sun is shining solar energy is being produced as it sends the heat radiating to the earth. \r\n\r\nYou can find solar energy anywhere or anything that the sun can shine on. There is a way that you can save the sunlight in order to provide heat during the cold, which is what millions of people have done throughout the years. \r\n\r\nIt started thousands of years ago when people where able to use a thick lens or magnifying glass on an object that would attract the sun rays on that particular object and could get so hot it would catch fire. This gave a new prospective on how strong the heat from the sun really was. \r\n\r\nThe problem with capturing the suns heat is the fact that when it reaches the earths surface it does not go to one particular spot. It is spread evenly over the earth where the sunlight is able to reach. When this happens you may find it difficult to heat something using only the sunlight. Although the area or object may be hot if left in the sun too long it will not reach the full heating potential of the sun\'s light.\r\n\r\nIn order to use the heat efficiently to heat a room after the sun goes down or when the sun is unable to shine because of clouds you will need to use a source that will attract the heat to one particular area. This source is called a solar collector. The solar collector attracts a lot of sunlight to one particular area allowing the sun to pass through the source and into the space. \r\n\r\nThe objects in the space absorb and hold the heat from the sunlight and trapping it so it will not get back out with the help of the source. Glass is a great solar collector because it allows the sun to pass through it and into the space but the heat from the sun can rarely escape leaving the space under the glass to become warm or hot from the heat. The objects in the space help to hold the heat as it comes in so that the space will stay warmer longer. This allows the area to be heated using solar power.\r\n\r\nBecause glass is a natural solar collector it makes it great to put into a greenhouse or a sun room. The glass attracts the sunlight and traps the heat inside so that they temperature in the greenhouse or sun room remain warm even at night when the temperature outside may be cold. \r\n\r\nSolar energy can be found anywhere the sun shines but in order to fill the heat you must have direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

Solar power can be used to power electricity, pump water, to heat your home or office and power vehicles. With all that we can do with solar power you have to wonder why we don\'t do enough to conserve the solar power. We could use it for almost anything and it would cost a fraction of what we are paying now. You can make a difference by doing your part is making solar power something you can use.\r\n\r\nIn order to power energy with solar power you need to know the basics of solar power and how it works. It takes a long time for heat from the sunlight to reach the earth. Unless it is concentrated into a particular area the heat from the sun will be distributed evenly over the earth\'s surface where the sun is shining. When you want to use the natural sun light to power your electricity, heat or water you need to know the process to it.\r\n\r\nYou need to direct the sunlight to a concentrated area in order to have enough energy to power your source. Some of the biggest solar power towers are set up around the world. Solar power is not something that a few people are trying but solar power is about the future, everyone\'s future. When you use a light in your home you may not realize the process that brings that energy to that switch so when you flip it on you will have lights. \r\n\r\nThe energy that it takes to run power to our homes are not a natural way of energy. Conserving the energy that comes from the sun is the most natural way to equip our homes with energy, heat and more. When we use natural resources we save in several ways; by preserving the earth, cutting down on monthly and over all costs, and no inconvenient power outages. \r\n\r\nPreserving the earth helps when you use natural resources that don\'t hurt the earths atmosphere and everything in it. If we continue to use the power that we use today we may pollute the atmosphere so much that the right amount of sun will not be able to make it down to the earth\'s surface in the future. Then we will have no other choice but to rely on our man made abilities to produce something that will cost us more than what it already does now. Pollutants will also harm life on earth as it starts to close in and start to harm us. Cutting down on monthly and over all costs can save you a lot of money in the future.\r\n\r\nIn the beginning you may pay a minimal amount to be solar power efficient by purchasing a solar source. You can buy indoor and outdoor lighting, solar power windows and insulated doors in order to make your home more solar efficient. After that initial expense you don\'t have the expense of paying a monthly bill to keep your service on. This also promotes others to use solar power to be more efficient. \r\n\r\nWhen a storm blows through we are sometimes left without power for at least a day but sometimes more. When this happens we are so use to our conveniences that we have a hard time adjusting to going back to the basics when we are use to flipping on a light switch, using the microwave, taking a shower or bath assuming that the water can be pumped and heated the same as it always is. \r\n\r\nLoading the dishwasher or washing the dishes, washing and drying clothes.

We could use solar panels to convert the heat from the sun into the energy we need to power things that run. Solar panels are common and can be seen in a lot of different products, such as calculators, satellites, or even space ships. Solar panels are an effective way to redirect the sunlight and use it for electricity.\r\n\r\nIt all starts over one hundred years ago when a man got the idea to use the heat from the sun to power his machinery. The main focus was to use the steam from the hot sun light in order to start and maintain their machines. This new revelation peaked the interest of several scientists who did not waste any time traveling to see how this discovery worked. Since then, there have been groundbreaking products that have increased the convenience and the need to use a natural resource such as the sun in order to work machinery. \r\n\r\nSolar panels can be different shapes and sizes but their main purpose is to convert the light in order to make electricity. Photovoltaic, or PV, is the process of converting the light into electricity. Photovoltaic cells are self generating and consist of a very thing film made of silver. This film is placed on a semiconductor layer that can be found on an iron substrate. The photovoltaic cells are very important in producing enough sunlight and heat in order to successfully produce the energy that is needed in order to heat up water, heat homes and power electricity. \r\n\r\nSolar panels can be found in all different shapes and sizes including round, square, and rectangle. You can see them on top of buildings and houses or standing alone in fields. Solar panels are in hand held devices and they are in energy efficient appliances. The sun is a wonderful natural resource and can greatly cater to our way of life. The study of natural resources like the sun is ongoing and the improvement that can be made in the future is anyone\'s guess but you can\'t go wrong when you use natural resources.\r\n\r\nBecause this new way of production was in trial and error stage, it was somewhat expensive to turn your home or business into a natural way to heat and power.

In the summertime we experience some power outages when everyone turns on their air conditioners in order to tolerate the extreme temperatures beating down from the sun. This heat is sometimes so intense it can make someone, who has trouble breathing, struggle for every breath. \r\n\r\nThe sun is a very intense ball of gas up in the atmosphere. It burns twenty four hours a day, seven days per week. We only see it during out daytime but on the other side of the globe they get the daytime when we get the night. When the sun light beams down on the earth\'s surface, a small percentage of the solar radiation heading for earth gets reflected. There are larger amounts of the sunlight that is actually absorbed. \r\n\r\nWhen you consider the fact that the sunlight must go through fog, clouds, dust particles and harmful pollutants in order to reach us that reduce the amount of sunlight that we receive even more. When it finally makes it to the earth\'s surface it is then radiated back up into space. When it reaches the earth, plants and vegetation absorb it and the oceans, winds and other resources absorb the sunlight as well. \r\n\r\nSome people use some of the heat generated from the sun in order to heat homes, power electricity and provide water to their families and businesses.

Approximately, 3850 Zettajoules (ZJ) per year is the total amount of solar energy available to the earth. The suns energy travels to the earth by way of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves but the frequency range is different. Some of this energy is absorbed as it comes thru the atmosphere. Heat and light are the primary forms of solar energy. \r\nSolar energy has many advantages over conventional energy. The energy from the sun is free the only expense is from recovering the energy. The cost of recovering the suns energy is recovered faster than with conventional energy. The recovering units don\'t have to be connected to natural gas or power grids, they stand alone. The supply of solar energy is limitless. It has no emission gases to harm the earth\'s atmosphere. \r\n\r\nThere are several ways to recover solar energy:\r\n\r\nFocusing collectors: This has a movable mirror, known as heliostats, is pointed to the sun and can provide a temperature around 4000 degrees C. This degree temperature is used for a solar furnace in industries and research. These solar furnaces don\'t contaminate our environment. The heliostats can focus the energy to a boiler that turns water into steam. To generate solar electricity, focusing collectors can be used.\r\n\r\nFlat plate collectors: These collectors can be used in schools and homes to provide heat using water that is heated in pipes. They cannot provide as much heat as the focusing collectors because they are smaller.\r\nSolar distillation: Solar distillation is about the same as flat plate collectors but provides distilled water instead of heat. Sea water is put in tanks or ditches on the roof of a house and the heat from the sun heats and evaporates the water and turns the water vapor into liquid water that is distilled.\r\n\r\nSolar electricity: By using focusing collectors and Photovoltaic cells, made of thin pieces of semiconductors, convert radiation from the sun into electricity. \r\n\r\nSolar energy would not be affected by the supply and demand of fuel for it is free and it doesn\'t polute the atmosphere.

Wind turbines are a machine that can transform the kinetic energy found in wind and convert it into mechanical energy. Mechanical energy works with kinetic energy to balance into the mechanical system. When the mechanical energy is converted into electricity it can be called a wind turbine. \r\n\r\nThere are two different types of wind turbines; Horizontal axis and Vertical axis. The most common of these two are the horizontal axis. Horizontal axis features the main rotor shaft and generator at the top of the turbine. \r\n\r\nThe horizontal axis is pointed into the wind. Most of these horizontal axis have a gearbox that allows the blades to turn quicker to generate more electricity. The tower is what provides turbulence. The turbine can be pointed somewhat upward and stand well above the blades. The blades are made of durable material capable of withstanding high winds.\r\n\r\nWhen you see these turbines in the field you may think that they are no longer helpful but there are several people who believe in using them still. Horizontal axis wind turbines can either turn upward or downward. If they choose to turn the blades upward, they don\'t hold good together for longer periods of time. They begin to crack and breakdown in high winds. When the blades are downward facing they stay in line with the wind longer and they can outlast through the high winds without breaking. Because they are so durable it keeps the cost down as well. \r\n\r\nTypes of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines\r\n\r\nWindmills Consists of four or more blades, usually short, and can wooden blades. These were used to grind grain. As the winds picked up it would rotate a mechanism inside allowing it to run the grain through a mill crushing it. \r\n\r\nRural Windmills was originally from Australia but later moved over to the USA. Farmers found that this type of windmill was good to pump water and electricity to the barns and fields. This windmill had several blades and can still be seen today in fields. They were constructed of metal usually in order to carry electricity for lights or maybe a radio.\r\n\r\nModern Turbines are what we have now standing in fields. They feature three blades that are pointed at the ends. The reason for their unusual shape is because they have been proven to exceed wind velocity up to 6 times more, allowing for high efficiency and reliability. \r\n\r\nThe advantages of this type of wind turbine include stability, tallness, bendable, durable and strong. The disadvantages my include cannot operate well close to the ground, hard to transport over sea, difficult to install, not in big demand, there are concerns with how they affect radar, structural damage done with storms and wear. \r\n\r\nThere are good points and bad points to owning these types of turbines.

The solar panels are faced toward the sun at all times in order to be able to power the shuttle efficiently. \r\n\r\nThere are fewer problems from solar power than with other methods. Even though there are days that there are clouds in the sky and rain, snow or other weather, it is still possible to produce enough heat in your solar source to create enough energy to last until the sun can come back down. Solar power is in our future we need to be ready for it. \r\n\r\nRight now solar power is only being used by those who are more aware and worried about our earth\'s atmosphere when it is a concern that we should all be worried about. \r\n\r\nWe can learn a lot from the past and the way that <a href=\"http://solarenergy.zmagz.com/\" target=\"_blank\">solar power</a> was used. Every minute of the sunlight was used doing everything that needed done because after the sun went down there was no more light. I don\'t think we could do that now. Solar power has so many benefits for us that we don\'t realize all of them and how it is more efficient to use the solar power than other ways.', 'The Benefits of Solar Power', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '87-revision', '', '', '2011-11-03 03:54:10', '2011-11-03 08:54:10', '', 87, 'http://infomagz.com/windsolar/87-revision/', 0, 'revision', '', 0), (129, 1, '2011-11-03 03:53:41', '2011-11-03 08:53:41', 'There are two different types of wind turbine; Vertical and Horizontal. Each one performs their own function and they each of their advantages and their disadvantages. You should pick the one that is best for you and your needs. They do have one thing in common and that is that they produce energy from winds. They just do it in a different way. \r\n\r\nVertical axis turbine has the main rotor shaft running vertically instead of horizontally. This direction can have its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is the gearbox can be put in the bottom of the turbine, unlike the horizontal turbines. All the weight is not at the top of the tower.\r\n\r\nIt also does not need to be pointed in the direction of the wind. The disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbines is that there can be pulsating torques that can happen during each turn when the turbine is running in the same direction as the wind. They produce a smaller amount of energy from the wind.\r\n\r\n<strong>Different Types of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines</strong>\r\n\r\nWindmill with a rotation sail. This type of turbine is the newest out there as it looks like sails on a ship once it is up and running. The sails can expand or contract to the changing winds. There is three sails on it and the speed is managed through magnetic counter that expands or contracts these vertical sails. It has a control unit that will help to control the sails so the damage will be minimal. The sails might tear but the frame is durable and will last through the storms. \r\n\r\nAerodynamic turbine is made up of airfoil base that is designed to capture the kinetic energy flowing from an artificial current to the center. It can utilize most of the air mass that passes through by redirecting it over the upper turbines. It can respond to wind and also rivers, creeks, oceans or other free flowing water systems. \r\n\r\nDarrieus Wind Turbines are efficient but because of their size and shape they can produce cyclic stress on the tower which can wear it out sooner. It features three blades that work well in higher winds. They are held up by external structures that are connected from the ground up.\r\n\r\nGiromill is a type of meal that features three vertical blades. It is self starting so the maintenance is low. These types of mills a low blade speed but they can create a high performance and success in channeling the energy from every turn of the blade.\r\n\r\nSavonius Wind Turbine mills have two scoops that are used for wind conversion. Some do come in three scoops that make it self starting. They look like long helicopter blades that are bent in a direction. This style and shape is to provide enough energy to be adequate. \r\n\r\nWindstar Turbines has straight aluminum blades that are attached on each end of the rotating shaft. This windmill features more than one rotor and they each have their own dual braking system that has pneumatic disc brakes. They are designed for <a href=\"http://solarblog.ikmangroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">strong powerful winds</a>.\r\n\r\nThe advantages to running a vertical axis wind turbine is that they are easier to maintain and reduce cost, can withstand almost all wind, low high, smaller and easier to transport. The disadvantages are they take twice as much time to produce efficient energy from winds, need to be installed on flat land, low starting torque, some models use guyed wires which can add stress to the bottom.

First it was the subsidies cut to PHEVs, which started on January 1st, 2023, and led to plugin hybrids crashing in 2023. The year ended with a 52% drop in PHEV registrations, to 175,724 units, representing just 6.2% of the overall market.</p>\n<p>Then, on September 1st, 2023, subsidies ended for BEV company cars, which created a delivery peak in August, usually one of the slowest months of the year, followed by a short hangover. Because subsidies to private buyers were also supposed to end by the end of December, another delivery peak was supposed to happen in the last month of the year.</p>\n<p>Only … in a very <em>un-German</em> kind of way, on Saturday, December 16th, the local government decided to end those EV subsidies earlier than expected, on Monday, the 18th. … Despite some brands discounting the value of the subsidy in the days that followed the abrupt subsidy cut, the truth is that the sales peak wasn’t as big as originally expected, with December ending at 54,654 BEV registrations.</p>\n<p>As such, BEVs scored an <em>okay</em> 23% share of the auto market in December, which added to the 7% on the PHEV side, leading to a 30% plugin share. The full-year 2023 numbers ended at 25% (19% BEV), which is a 6% drop over the 2022 numbers (31% share). Although, looking on the bright side, despite the subsidy cuts, the 2023 BEV share (19%) was up 1% compared to the 2022 result (18%), jumping a nice 6% over the country’s 2021 BEV result.</p>\n<p>Looking at the BEV vs. PHEV breakdown, there was also good news, with the former solidly outselling the latter. The sales breakdown between the two changed dramatically, from the 56% BEV vs. 44% PHEV of 2022, to the current 75% BEV vs. 25% PHEV. Expect PHEVs to rebound a little in the beginning of 2024, but the overall trend is for them to progressively lose relevance.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320946\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2041\" height=\"2661\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023.png 2041w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023-307x400.png 307w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023-614x800.png 614w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023-768x1001.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023-1178x1536.png 1178w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-EV-Models-December-2023-1571x2048.png 1571w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2041px) 100vw, 2041px\"/></a></p>\n<p>In the year of 2024, especially the first half, expect BEVs to experience a small sales hangover, which should be balanced in the second half of the year. We might see this market surpass the 20% BEV share threshold towards the end of the year.</p>\n<p>But the year for real growth in the German EV market shouldn’t be till 2025, when the local premium OEMs will launch their <em>true</em> volume EVs (BMW Neue Klasse midsize EVs, Mercedes CLA EV, Audi A4 e-tron…) and VW will launch the much awaited VW ID.2 small hatchback. And even the <em>honorary German</em> Tesla might have its compact offering ready by that time.</p>\n<p>This should allow the German passenger car market to become 100% BEV by the time the 2035 100% ZEV mandate from the European Union kicks in. Of course, all this is assuming that future governments do not change the rules of the game.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320956\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1389\" height=\"1930\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023.png 1389w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023-288x400.png 288w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023-576x800.png 576w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023-768x1067.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-Table-December-2023-1105x1536.png 1105w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1389px) 100vw, 1389px\"/></a></p>\n<p>Looking at last month’s best sellers, first we should disclose that December registrations are not very representative of general market dynamics, because of the chaotic subsidy cut. As such, the results have much to do with the OEMs’ willingness to absorb the subsidy cut or not.</p>\n<p>The German EV market surprised in December. The record 3,222 registrations of the BMW i4 in December allowed it to be the leader in the plugin market, almost tripling the sales of its <em>nemesis</em>, the Tesla Model 3 (1,131 registrations). For its part, the Model 3 had a horrible end of quarter, even ending outside the top 20! <em>Of course, the end of the subsidy run in neighboring France might have had something to do with this….</em></p>\n<p>The Skoda Enyaq and Fiat 500e rounded out the podium, in 2nd and 3rd respectively. In 4th, we have yet another surprise coming from BMW, with its other star player, the iX1 crossover, once gain beating its personal record, this time by scoring 2,730 registrations. That highlights the great month for the German make. The <del datetime=\"2024-01-18T11:16:00+00:00\">giant squirrel</del> big iX joined the table in #17, thanks to 1,219 registrations, the SUV’s best score in 2023. Heck, even the <em>compliance</em> iX3 scored 704 registrations in December.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Tesla’s Model Y crossover had a weak end of quarter, ending just 5th in December, with 2,721 registrations. While the Model 3’s slow month might be easily explainable (<em>see France’s article</em>), the somewhat disappointing month for the crossover is harder to explain. And it probably helps to explain why Tesla decided to drop the prices of the Model Y, but not of the Model 3, in the beginning of 2024. Is the Osborne effect of the upcoming Model Y <em>Juniper</em> already kicking in?</p>\n<p>Interesting to see is the fact that both the VW ID.4 and ID.3 were beaten by their <em>foreign cousins</em>, with the #7 VW ID.4 being beaten by the Czech #3 Skoda Enyaq and the #12 VW ID.3 being beaten by the Spaniard #6 Cupra Born. Coincidence?…</p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the <em>Volkswagen Group mothership</em>, the Spanish Cupra brand placed a second model in the top 20, with the crossover Formentor PHEV ending the month in #9 thanks to a year best 1,934 registrations. In Audi HQ, it was a bitter sweet mood, because while on the one hand, the big fat Q8 e-tron scored 1,289 registrations (the large SUV’s best result since it added the “Q8” moniker to the name), the brand’s current <em>bread and butter</em> model, the Q4 e-tron, only scored 1,365 registrations, ending the month in #14, just one position ahead of the Q8 e-tron.</p>\n\n<p>In other news, the trendy Opel Mokka EV crossover scored high in December, with 1,423 registrations. Added to the 2,287 registrations of the #8 Opel Corsa EV, that meant that Opel had a positive month and is apparently immune to the battery supply issues that some Stellantis brands (<em>we are looking at you, Peugeot</em>) are currently suffering. Still on the Stellantis stable, a mention is due for the 18th position of the Jeep Avenger EV, with the <em>chunky & funky</em> small crossover registering 1,203 units.</p>\n<p>Outside this top 20, a few models deserve some attention, like the BYD Atto 3 (<em>euro-spec Yuan Plus</em>) registering 555 units, the new generation Hyundai Kona EV ramping up deliveries to an already relevant 942 units (expect the Korean crossover to start showing up on the table soon), the Mercedes EQE sedan getting 670 registrations, and the <em>old-timer</em> VW e-Up scoring a meritable 565 units in December — not bad for a model that landed in late 2011!</p>\n<p>Speaking of <em>old timers</em>, the 11-year-old Renault Zoe had its best score of the year in December, 572 registrations, almost beating the best selling Renault in the table, the <em>also</em> <em>veteran</em> Renault Twingo EV (593 registrations). This is all while the much younger Renault Megane EV registered just 327 units in the same period. Yep, Renault’s current EV lineup is looking like US politics in 2024: two old geezers calling the shots, all while the young ones are waiting for them to go away.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320945\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2040\" height=\"2661\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023.png 2040w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023-307x400.png 307w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023-613x800.png 613w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023-768x1002.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023-1178x1536.png 1178w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-20-YTD-EV-Models-January-December-2023-1570x2048.png 1570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2040px) 100vw, 2040px\"/></a></p>\n<p>Regarding the final 2023 table, and looking at the podium positions, this year’s winner was the Tesla Model Y, with the crossover repeating the previous year’s title win.</p>\n<p>The VW ID.4 finally started to fulfill expectations this year, ending the year in the runner-up spot, only behind the all-mighty Tesla Model Y. That was the German crossover’s first podium presence, and the first silver medal for a MEB-based model, improving on the 3rd position achieved by the VW ID.3 in 2021.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, Volkswagen has never won its domestic best selling model award….</p>\n<p>In 3rd, we have another MEB-based model, the <del datetime=\"2024-01-18T11:16:00+00:00\">VW ID.3</del> Skoda Enyaq, allowing the Czech make to experience its first podium presence in Germany. That was thanks to a strong month in December from the Skoda EV as well as a slow month from the VW hatchback, which allowed the Enyaq to climb into 3rd in the last stage of the race.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, for the first time ever, all podium positions went to crossovers, which says a lot about the direction the automotive market is going in.</p>\n<p>Will 2024 bring new surprises to the podium positions? Expect the Tesla Model Y to remain there, most likely in #1. As for the remaining positions … everything is open for discussion. Volkswagen will try to pull both the ID.3 and ID.4 onto the podium, but that is far from a sure thing, especially considering their recent demand issues. On the other hand, the Skoda Enyaq will stay a strong contender, like the Fiat 500e. BMWs i4 and iX1 should be also strong candidates, but knowing how surprising the German EV market is, some <em>dark horse</em> might come out of nowhere and steal the show.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320957\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1397\" height=\"1921\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table.png 1397w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table-291x400.png 291w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table-582x800.png 582w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table-768x1056.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-EV-Sales-2023-Table-1117x1536.png 1117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1397px) 100vw, 1397px\"/></a></p>\n<p>Off the podium, there were some last-minute changes. Benefitting from the aforementioned slow month from the VW ID.3, the Fiat 500e went up one position in December, to 4th. Opel had a strong December, pulling the Corsa EV to #11 and adding the Mokka EV to the table at #20.</p>\n<p>Speaking of new entries, thanks to a record month in December, the BMW i4 stormed through the table, joining it in #14. Meanwhile, the smaller BMW iX1 also climbed higher, in this case from #11 to #9, ending 2023 in the top half of the table.</p>\n<p>An interesting consequence of the BMW midsize EV ending the year in #14, with some 13,000 registrations, is that it ended some 3,000 units behind its rival, the #8 Tesla Model 3, which was down a significant 52% in 2023. We might see an entertaining race between these two in 2024.</p>\n<p>Sure, the recent Model 3 refresh will probably help it to revive sales, but do not expect Tesla’s sedan to return to anywhere near the German podium anytime soon. The 4-time podium bearer (3rd in 2019 and 2020, 1st in 2021, 2nd in 2022) is now a clear second choice behind the <em>Made-in-Germany</em> Model Y. And with the BMW i4 on the rise, the Tesla midsizer will have its work cut out for it if it wants to keep the BMW rival behind it.</p>\n<p>The last position change to mention was the Mercedes GLC PHEV climbing to #17 and becoming 2023’s best selling PHEV, recovering the title from the Ford Kuga PHEV (the Mercedes GLC PHEV also had the title in 2021). Expect the PHEV category to continue losing relevance in 2024, with possibly only one representative on the table. Unless something unexpected happens, expect the Mercedes GLC to keep this category title in 2024, as it seems that Mercedes is the only brand now selling PHEVs in large volumes in the German market (it helps that many of their PHEV models have <em>usable range</em>).</p>\n<p>Looking at size categories, the #4 Fiat 500e again won the city car category, but it saw its sales dip by 21% year over year (YoY). The #15 Dacia Spring was a distant second, while the Smart Fortwo EV rounded out the category podium. Expect the little Italian to consolidate its leadership position in 2024, as no major disruptions are expected in this segment.</p>\n<p>In the category above, the <em>#10 Mini Cooper EV</em> won the B-segment title, but the Opel Corsa EV was a close second, ending fewer than 100 units behind the Brit. Interestingly, something similar had already happened to the Opel EV in 2022. At that time, it remained behind the #16 Hyundai Kona EV, now 3rd in the category. Better luck in 2024?</p>\n<p>The VW ID.4 won the compact category title for the first time, followed by the Skoda Enyaq in #2 and the VW ID.3 in #3. This created the first 100% MEB-based podium. In fact, all top five positions in the category belong to Volkswagen Group and are based on the MEB platform — #4 is the Audi Q4 e-tron and #5 is the Cupra Born. The German OEM might not achieve the same feat in 2024, though, as the BMW iX1 and MG4 seem strong enough to run at the same pace as them.</p>\n<p>In the midsize category, it was the usual #1 plus #2 win for Tesla, with the BMW i4 in 3rd. But as mentioned earlier, this could be the last time that Tesla manages to do that, as apparently the Model 3 now has a competitor worthy of the name.</p>\n<p>As for the full size category, as always, the Audi Q8 e-tron reigns supreme, with around 10,000 units registered. It is followed at a distance by the Mercedes EQE (6,700 registrations), but considering the most recent performances, the BMW iX (and also the i5?) could give both a run for their money in 2024.</p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Top Auto Brands for Electric Vehicle Sales in Germany — 2022</h3>\n<p>In the brand ranking, the leadership had a last-minute change, with Volkswagen (11.2%) surpassing Mercedes (11.1%, down 0.3%) in December and winning its 4th straight title, relegating Mercedes to the runner-up spot. So, the three-pointed-star make collected its 4th silver medal in a row, and yet, it was so close to gold this time….</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320949\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2041\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023.png 2041w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023-400x201.png 400w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023-800x402.png 800w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023-768x386.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-Brands-EV-Sales-December-2023-1536x771.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2041px) 100vw, 2041px\"/></a></p>\n<p>Tesla (9.1%, down from 9.5%) held onto the 3rd spot, but rising #4 BMW (8.9%, up from 8.3%) could have snatched the 2023 bronze medal if there was a 13th stage to the race.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, the 2023 podium is exactly the same as the 2022 one.

While the top three brands do not have any major new models to speak of, the same cannot be said of Audi, which will introduce a new A6 e-tron and, above all, the new Q6 e-tron midsize SUV. Both are coming from the new PPE platform. Depending on market demand, and most importantly, on how fast the production ramp-up goes (the PPE platform has experienced successive delays…), Audi could have enough arguments in 2024 to finally try and reach a podium position, something that the Ingolstadt brand has been missing since 2020 (it was 3rd then).</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320948\" src=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2041\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023.png 2041w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023-400x201.png 400w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023-800x402.png 800w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023-768x386.png 768w, https://cleantechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Germany-Top-OEM-EV-Sales-December-2023-1536x771.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2041px) 100vw, 2041px\"/></a></p>\n<p>As for OEMs, Volkswagen Group (27.8%) won again by a landslide.

Mencken was sadly spot on when he famously <a href=\"https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/07/17/solution/\">opined</a> that “there is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.” We are seeing this pattern emerge yet again in response to one of the most critical problems we face today on the climate front: how to rapidly build out the clean energy and transmission infrastructure we need in order to meet our carbon reduction commitments. A bedrock environmental law—the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)—has become the easy scapegoat for a complex set of problems bedeviling our clean energy buildout. And attacking and weakening NEPA and other federal environmental laws has become the <a>“neat, plausible, and wrong” </a>solution to those problems in the minds of too many.</p>\n<p>What everyone can agree on is that we need to build enormously more wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources in order to meet climate goals; and that this is not happening at the pace we need it to. Certainly, there is ongoing progress. Renewable energy generation has become incredibly <a href=\"https://www.irena.org/News/pressreleases/2023/Aug/Renewables-Competitiveness-Accelerates-Despite-Cost-Inflation\">cost effective,</a> with wind and solar now as cheap or cheaper than fossil fuels. These sources’ capacity is projected to double by 2030, <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/amanda-levin/nrdc-analysis-ira-will-spur-clean-energy-transition\">helped along</a> significantly by the climate measures in the Inflation Reduction Act. But if we are going to meet our net zero target, capacity has to not just double but <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/resources/down-wire-progressive-permitting-reforms-will-accelerate-renewable-energy\">quadruple</a> by 2030. And right now many factors, including and especially our antiquated and too-small electric grid, are standing in the way of that needed buildout. Solar and wind project developers are stymied by a mind-bendingly large backup in the queue to get their projects connected to the electric grid. Currently, there are roughly 2,050 gigawatts of new projects—94.4% of this compromised of renewables and energy storage—waiting for authorization from grid regulators to connect. That number <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/christy-walsh/we-cant-let-aging-transmission-stall-clean-energy-progress\">represents</a> more than the combined capacity of all power plants currently operating in the US.</p>\n<p>So yes, we have a problem. And yes, some of this has to do with the pace at which we’re approving and bringing into service renewable energy projects and the grid buildout needed to support them. But a lazy leap from that fact to a conclusion that NEPA and other environmentally protective statutes are the source of the delays is neither wise nor supported by the facts on the ground.</p>\n<p>Careful analyses of data on the project approval process over the last two decades have concluded that federal environmental laws are very much <em>not </em>the problem. Most recently, law professor David Adelman at University of Texas did an exhaustive <a href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4540734\">assessment</a> that looked at all federal permitting for energy infrastructure between 2010 and 2021 to determine whether the data backs up the frequent <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/13/opinion/berkeley-enrollment-climate-crisis.html\">assertion</a> that NEPA is a source of yearslong delay and a weapon that lawsuit-happy NIMBY groups relentlessly wield against the green energy buildout.</p>\n<p>Turns out it isn’t. A remarkably low percentage of projects that Adelman surveyed—3.9 percent of wind and 3.2 percent of solar—required a comprehensive environmental impact statement under NEPA or an individual authorization under other environmental laws, with essentially all of those in ecologically sensitive environments. Essentially, Adelman concluded, streamlined processes are already built into environmental statutes, and are deployed the vast majority of the time. And amidst thousands of projects over the course of 12 years, lawsuits were remarkably sparse. There were challenges to only 28 wind projects, 8 solar projects, and 14 transmission lines.</p>\n<p>Adelman’s results are consistent with multiple past studies of NEPA implementation that have repeatedly concluded that NEPA is not a significant source of delay, with respect to energy projects or any other kind of projects. The non-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) has <a href=\"https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-14-370.pdf\">estimated</a> that roughly 95 percent of all NEPA decisions do not involve any substantive environmental review at all because they qualify for categorical exclusions. The non-excluded projects mostly require only relatively brief environmental assessments (EAs)—which the Department of Energy (DOE) estimates at a median cost of $65,000 (in context of the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars that a renewable energy project can cost), and the GAO estimates generally take 12 to 18 months to complete. Recent deep dives into various specific types of permitting by the GAO (looking at <a href=\"https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-16-165.pdf\">hardrock mining</a>), Columbia University (looking at US <a href=\"https://journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/cjel/article/view/9479\">Forest Service</a> decisions), and the Environmental Law Institute (looking at <a href=\"https://www.eli.org/sites/default/files/files-pdf/52.10893.pdf\">critical minerals</a>) all concluded more or less the same thing: that approval delays often happen, but not generally because of NEPA.</p>\n<p>What is more, both the GAO and the <a href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL33152\">Congressional Research Service</a> (CRS) have concluded that NEPA actually helps with the coordination among agencies needed to complete the permitting process, serving as an umbrella to coordinate application of other environmental laws. CRS observed that some agency representatives “feel that the NEPA process, when implemented as required by the CEQ regulations, actually facilitates a more efficiently executed project.” GAO’s analysis describes other affirmative benefits of NEPA review, including discovering early and addressing design problems that might make projects more costly in the long run, and channeling public input in a rational way.</p>\n<p>This large and growing stack of as-yet uncontradicted data has not, however, deterred NEPA’s critics, who persevere in insisting that it’s why we can’t have nice things. These critics include not only the usual anti-environmental suspects but also many pundits and publications more generally supportive of environmental protection, such as New York Times columnist <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/13/opinion/berkeley-enrollment-climate-crisis.html\">Ezra Klein</a>, <a href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/04/local-government-community-input-housing-public-transportation/629625/\">The Atlantic</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/12/12/23500140/permitting-reform-inflation-reduction-act-congress-manchin\">Vox</a>. In unfortunate keeping with our modern political culture, the critiques tend to focus not on the unexciting data but rather on the captivating anecdata—individual stories of this or that project collapsing under the weight of public opposition that had called federal environmental review laws to its aid. However, as explained in a recent <a href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/article/nepa-permitting-process-crucial-to-renewable-infrastructure-project-success/#:~:text=Early%20and%20effective%20engagement%20with,project%20decisions%20and%20successful%20outcomes.\">report</a> by the Center for American Progress (CAP), it is virtually impossible to avoid public opposition to large projects, and the presence and occasional success of such opposition is not a valid criterion for assessing NEPA’s value. The standard should not be whether NEPA aided in sinking isolated projects that the public overwhelmingly disliked, but whether on the whole NEPA is facilitating public discourse and productively channeling public opinion, whether positive or negative. CAP’s analysis, and the multiple other studies of NEPA’s track record, strongly suggest that it is.</p>\n<p>If NEPA pushback were coming only from pundits, their fact-challenged assertions would not be worth further mental energy. However, their pile-on has aided a series of recent legislative attacks on NEPA and other environmental laws in the name of “permitting reform” by some who are hostile to NEPA altogether. Senator Joe Manchin and others last year introduced <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/christy-goldfuss/getting-federal-energy-permitting-right\">highly problematic</a> legislation that would extensively curb these laws’ reach. While those efforts have not entirely succeeded, Manchin’s agitation set the stage for a set of misguided <a href=\"https://legal-planet.org/2023/05/30/nepa-and-the-debt-deal/\">changes</a> to NEPA tied into last year’s debt ceiling deal.</p>\n<p>The concern now is that even federal agencies who are honestly trying to make the system work better may be buying into the unwarranted assumption that scaling back NEPA is the way to fix the approval delay problem. Recently, the DOE <a href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/16/2023-25174/national-environmental-policy-act-implementing-procedures\">proposed</a> to significantly broaden the scope of NEPA categorical exclusions that apply to renewable energy projects, without actually explaining how this move would hasten approvals. NRDC and others stated in <a href=\"https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOE-HQ-2023-0063-0001/comment\">comments</a> on the rule that while we are open any genuinely effective approach to speeding up clean energy projects, and to whatever research and data DOE might have indicating that excluding more projects from environmental review constituted such an approach, DOE had failed to make that case.</p>\n<p>So if the solution to the slow pace of clean energy permitting is not attacking NEPA and other environmental laws, then what is it? All of the NEPA studies, as well as <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/resources/down-wire-progressive-permitting-reforms-will-accelerate-renewable-energy\">NRDC</a> and <a href=\"https://collaborative.evergreenaction.com/policy-hub/warp-speed-clean-energy?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=100clean\">other</a> clean energy advocates, have identified actual problems with the infrastructure approval system and made recommendations for reform. These are many and varied, but mostly boil down to a few basic principles:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Effectively address local community concerns. </em>As reported by Adelman and <a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421522001471\">multiple</a> other <a href=\"https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/sabin_climate_change/186/\">scholarly</a> publications, most opposition to renewable energy projects comes from the local level, using local levers of power; and tends to be fueled by failure of developers and regulators to communicate early and effectively with the people who will be impacted. The obvious solution involves enhancing communication and providing meaningful substantive benefits to communities asked to host these facilities.</li>\n<li><em>Beef up agency resources. </em>As identified by most of the NEPA studies, the real source of agency delays in responding to permit applications is resource limitations. Authorities tasked with approvals are chronically understaffed, and simply lack the bandwidth to respond quickly to every application. This is particularly a problem when, in the case of applications to connect to the grid, the submissions are often half-baked due to the perceived urgency on the part of developers to get a spot in the overlong queue.</li>\n<li><em>Employ “smart from the start” planning.</em> Any large energy infrastructure project—particularly high-powered transmission lines, which usually cross over multiple states—is going to have impacts on natural resources and communities. Too often, developers try to address these impacts late in the game, after plans are solidified and applications filed, resulting in project delays. “<a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/helen-oshea/smart-start-planning-pays-renewable-energy\">Smart from the Start</a>” is the approach of ensuring that impacts are considered and addressed as early as possible in planning in order to avoid surprises.</li>\n<li><em>Use federal authority to balance interests.</em> A fundamental obstacle to building the large, multi-state transmission lines we need is that the benefits of the lines flow mostly to its end points, and not to the middle. If a developer wanted to build a line from, say, Illinois to Arkansas, the Illinoisans might be enthusiastic about a new market for their wind power, and the Arkansans might be enthusiastic about a new source of energy, but the Missourians will ask, what’s in it for us?—and may reject the project as having no perceived benefit for them. Certainly, we need to do our best to make sure something is, in fact, in it for the people and states along the route, and to pay heed to their local autonomy and legitimate interest in minimizing impacts, as discussed in the <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/resources/down-wire-progressive-permitting-reforms-will-accelerate-renewable-energy\">NRDC report</a>. However, we also need to balance that autonomy against the national need for a significant grid buildout, meaning that in some cases the national need must take precedence.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The upshot is, we don’t have time in our headlong careen toward climate crisis to chase after “neat, plausible, and wrong” solutions. We know what the real problems and real solutions are and have the ability to get it right the first time. So let’s do that, and stop pointlessly beating up on NEPA.</p>\n<p><em>Originally published on <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/ann-alexander/renewable-energy-and-environmental-protection-not-eitheror\" rel=\"canonical\">NRDC.org blog</a>. <a href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/bio/ann-alexander\">By Ann Alexander,</a> Senior Attorney, Dirty Energy, Lands Division, Nature Program</em></p>\n<div class=\"afterpost\">\n\n<hr/>\n\n<em>Have a tip for CleanTechnica?

To this day, Trump and his allies continue to insist that the 2020 election was stolen, despite the fact that his own administration <a href=\"https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election\">called</a> it “the most secure in American history” and judges <a href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/08/joe-biden/joe-biden-right-more-60-trumps-election-lawsuits-l/\">denied or dismissed</a> more than 60 lawsuits charging voter fraud.</p>\n<p>State legislatures have used their baseless allegations as a rationale for passing laws that restrict voting rights. As of mid-October, lawmakers in 45 states had introduced 325 such bills in 2023, according to a <a href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/voting-laws-roundup-october-2023\">report</a> by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice, and 14 states collectively enacted 17 of them. That’s more than in any other year this past decade besides 2021, when legislators passed more than 30 restrictive laws. Most of the laws enacted last year will make it harder for voters to cast their ballots by mail.</p>\n<p>But there is some good news. Legislators also introduced a record 606 bills <em>expanding</em> voting access through mid-October of last year, the center reported, and 23 state legislatures enacted 47 of them, more than twice the number of such laws enacted in 2022.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, access to the polls depends on where you live.</p>\n<p>“There remains a stark divide between states,” the Brennan Center report <a href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/voting-laws-roundup-october-2023?_ga=2.65697707.403166170.1697999115-1262830476.1697122938#footnote3_mfx6x6z\">noted</a>. “On one side are those that are broadening democratic participation. On the other are those making it harder to vote and easier for partisan officials to interfere in democratic processes. Many states passing new restrictive laws are the places where it is already hard to vote.”</p>\n<p>Certainly, state attacks on voting rights predated the January 6th insurrection. Many resulted from the US Supreme Court’s 2013 <a href=\"https://www.justice.gov/crt/shelby-county-decision\"><em>Shelby County v. Holder</em></a> decision, which voided a Voting Rights Act requirement that states that historically discriminated against Black voters needed permission from the US Department of Justice before they changed their voting laws. After the <em>Shelby</em> decision, there was an explosion of state voter ID and similar laws, as well as other efforts to keep people away from the polls.</p>\n<p>The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) entered the fray in 2018 when <a href=\"https://www.ucsusa.org/about/people/michael-latner\">Michael Latner</a>, a political science professor at California Polytechnic State University, came on board as our first Kendall fellow to focus on scientific integrity and bias in US voting systems. Before joining UCS, Latner coauthored <a href=\"https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/gerrymandering-in-america/C2A9A40879A353AC7484B49834CB54E4\"><em>Gerrymandering in America</em></a> (Cambridge Press, 2016). Since then, he coauthored <em>Gerrymandering the States</em> (Cambridge Press, 2021) and a number of UCS reports, including <a href=\"https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/our-unhealthy-democracy\"><em>Our Unhealthy Democracy</em></a> in 2019 and <a href=\"https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/achieving-multiracial-multiparty-democracy?_gl=1*v2ua3a*_ga*MTY0OTEyNTA5Ny4xNjIzNTI5Njk0*_ga_VB9DKE4V36*MTY2MTM0ODgzMS45OS4wLjE2NjEzNDg4MzkuMC4wLjA.\"><em>Achieving Multiracial, Multiparty Democracy</em></a> in 2022.</p>\n<p>Latner and his UCS colleagues are applying election science to promote election data transparency, equitable ballot design, and fair voting-district mapping to ensure all eligible US voters are able to exercise their right to cast a ballot. Below is an abridged version of my recent conversation with Latner about their plans for the upcoming election season.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: Before we get into the details, why don’t you define what the term “election science” means for readers who are not familiar with it.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>ML:</strong> Election science, in the context of our work, refers to the application of quantitative and statistical tools to evaluate election administration, operations and outcomes. Our goal is to be able to accurately capture all the relevant information in an electoral ecosystem, so we collect everything from registration and voting records—including electoral system rules, ballot data (who, how, when, and where people vote), as well as administrative records regarding how votes are counted or not counted—all the way through election results certification. We then use this information to diagnose potential electoral process problems and how they emerge, including such problems as low participation rates, errors in the ways that ballots are processed, and sources of bias in election outcomes.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: You and your colleagues have been reviewing election laws, procedures and rules in a number of states and are drafting guidelines that would guarantee public access to election-related data. What specifically are you looking at?</strong></p>\n<p><em><strong>ML: </strong></em>Our policy team has taken a deep dive into election administration rules and procedures in five states—Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—to understand specific challenges and solutions for ensuring election integrity. We also are taking a close look at a handful of other states with exceptionally high voter turnout or excellent administrative records to learn from them.</p>\n<p>Besides that, we are consulting with numerous election experts from a variety of fields to develop a set of universal standards and best practices to improve election data transparency in three areas: voter database maintenance; ballot tracing and processing; and <a href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/09/27/1125179062/voting-explainer-in-many-states-theres-a-process-to-fix-an-error-with-your-ballo\">ballot curing</a>, auditing and certification. Specifically, we are studying these data and procedures to figure out how states can reliably and regularly update voter files used to track voter participation and results at the precinct level while election results come in, and how such problems as ballot rejection and administrative errors can be quickly and accurately identified and fixed when they occur. Further, we are exploring best practices for conducting election auditing and publicly releasing election evaluation data prior to election certification. We can’t expect voters to be confident in election outcomes unless we can validate the integrity of the process.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: Another major concern is what you are calling “equitable ballot design.” I take it that in this case, “equitable” means better, more understandable design. No doubt, there is plenty of evidence that there is a problem with how ballots and voter application forms are designed. I vividly remember Palm Beach County, Florida’s notoriously confusing </strong><a href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/butterfly-did-it-aberrant-vote-buchanan-palm-beach-county-florida\"><strong>butterfly ballot</strong></a><em><strong> in the 2000 election and the </strong></em><a href=\"https://www.britannica.com/event/Bush-v-Gore\"><strong>hanging chads</strong></a><strong> that made it so difficult to figure out how people intended to vote.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>In 2020, you conducted an </strong><a href=\"https://blog.ucsusa.org/michael-latner/voting-ballot-rejection-and-electoral-integrity-in-the-2020-election/\"><strong>analysis</strong></a><strong> of ballot rejection rates in a handful of states and found that a significant percentage where rejected due to poorly designed application forms. What are you planning to do about this problem in the upcoming election season?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>ML: </strong>Indeed, our work with the Greater Cleveland Coalition (GCC) in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, opened our eyes to the data challenges that community organizations face in their outreach efforts, as well as how those challenges intersect with structural inequities in terms of whose votes count.</p>\n<p>In the analysis you mentioned, we looked at the historical correlation between ballot rejection rates and county racial composition, which showed there are higher rejection rates in counties with a higher percentage of Black voters. The purpose of the analysis was to emphasize the need to monitor absentee ballot applications and mail ballot rejection rates when the country was preparing to hold an election during the pandemic with millions voting by mail for the first time. Sure enough, we identified a surge of application rejections coming out of the Cleveland area and alerted GCC staff. They worked with Cuyahoga County election officials to contact and correct the applications of thousands of voters who might have never received ballots.</p>\n<p>By “equitable,” we mean not just better-designed election materials, but also materials that are designed in such a way that does not exacerbate existing inequalities in participation and representation. The primary reason the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections rejected those Cleveland area applications was because applicants put their birth date in the wrong place or failed to enter it altogether due to the form’s poor design. That’s what we mean by a design problem, and it occurs not only with ballots, but with lots of election materials.</p>\n<p>Studies have identified a number of design principles and best practices that reduce such ballot irregularities as voters failing to cast a vote for a specific contest, called undervotes; voters voting for more candidates than allowed, called overvotes; and voters failing to follow ballot instructions. Best practices include providing visual aids with voting instructions, listing candidates in single columns, providing a party ticket voting option allowing voters to support one party’s candidates, and ensuring that ballots are available in voters’ preferred language. All have been shown to reduce errors and improve ballot completion rates.</p>\n<p>We are working in our five target states to improve the design of 2024 election materials where possible. Some of these changes are administrative. Other improvements will require state legislative changes, greater collaboration between experts and elected officials, and litigation in cases where design problems violate voting rights.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: Congressional maps drawn after the 2020 Census in a </strong><a href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/redistricting-states-house-congress-control/\"><strong>dozen states</strong></a><strong> have been challenged in court, and in a number of cases courts are protecting voter rights. Just a couple of weeks ago, for example, the Wisconsin Supreme Court </strong><a href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-gop-drawn-legislative-maps-rcna130983\"><strong>ruled</strong></a><strong> that the Republican-drawn districts violate the state constitution and ordered legislators to draw new maps for the 2024 elections. And earlier last month, the New York Court of Appeals </strong><a href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/n-y-court-of-appeals-sides-with-democrats-orders-redrawing-of-congressional-maps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ordered</strong></a><strong> an independent commission to redraw the state’s congressional districts. Can we rely on the courts to handle this ongoing gerrymandering problem?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>ML: </strong>In a word, no. Court-designed redistricting is typically an improvement over a single party in control of a state legislature maximizing partisan advantage when designing their own districts and congressional districts. But we have also seen, in Ohio and North Carolina for example, that partisan majorities on courts are quite capable of okaying district maps that favor their party.</p>\n<p>Whether a redistricting authority for a given state is a legislature, a court, or even an independent redistricting commission, what matters more is the set of rules and standards that bind the authority’s activities. The standards we are developing are centered around two requirements: that redistricting authorities explicitly demonstrate and rank the criteria that guide the design of districts, including requirements that minimize racial- and partisan-vote dilution; and that the public be involved in the redistricting process. To that end, we are reviewing best practices and procedures to develop standards for public input and inclusion requirements for the redistricting process, from the beginning through the implementation of final plans.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: In November, a federal appeals court three-judge panel issued a </strong><a href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24172347-22-1395_documents\"><strong>ruling</strong></a><strong> asserting that only the federal government can sue under a Voting Rights Act section prohibiting voting laws, procedures and rules that discriminate on the basis of race. What is your take on this unfortunate ruling?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>ML: </strong>This decision out of the 8<sup>th</sup> Circuit, if upheld, would be the final nail in the coffin of the Voting Rights Act. If there is no “private right of action,” as the appeals court ruled, private parties—the civil rights groups, political parties and individuals who have filed most of the cases alleging discrimination—would have no right to bring such lawsuits. It will certainly be appealed and likely will wind up in the US Supreme Court. Apparently at least two of the justices are open to the argument that only the federal government can bring cases to enforce the Voting Rights Act, but such an interpretation violates more than half a century of precedent.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: Meanwhile, what is Congress doing to push back against state attacks on voting rights? There are a few bills pending in Congress that, if enacted, would go a long way to protect voters. I’m talking about the </strong><a href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/freedom-vote-act\"><strong>Freedom to Vote Act</strong></a><strong>, the </strong><a href=\"https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/fair-representation-act/\"><strong>Fair Representation Act</strong></a><strong>, and the </strong><a href=\"https://blog.ucsusa.org/michael-latner/a-call-to-action-on-the-voting-rights-act\"><strong>John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act</strong></a><strong>.</strong><strong> What is the status of those bills?</strong></p>\n<p>ML: First, I should mention that in December 2022, Congress <a href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/12/22/1139951463/electoral-count-act-reform-passes\">passed</a> the Electoral Count Reform Act and the Presidential Transition Improvement Act as part of an omnibus spending bill. Those laws, passed in the final days of the 117<sup>th</sup> Congress, directly addressed the tactics Donald Trump deployed to try to overturn the 2020 election: getting GOP-controlled state legislatures to claim that state elections had “failed” so that they could choose alternate electors; challenging the certification of electors through frivolous lawsuits; and of course trying to persuade Vice President Mike Pence to reject certified state electors and replace them with Trump loyalists.</p>\n<p>But the provisions in those two laws, necessary as they are, only protect against the corruption of the Electoral College certification process. They do not address the corruption of the election process on the front end, before ballots are even cast. Bills such as the Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act that address vote denial, gerrymandering, and equal access to the ballot—as well as bills that would establish structural reforms guaranteeing the integrity of elections and the quality of representation for US residents—are going nowhere in the current Congress. Consider the fact that Mike Johnson, the current speaker of the House of Representatives, was a <a href=\"https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-lawsuits-elections-fe784086a81497dcfe38f0eb5bffd36d\">leader</a> in the pitiful litigation effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He even voted against certifying Joe Biden’s victory after the January 6<sup>th</sup> attack on the Capitol.</p>\n<p><strong>EN: Finally, what can the general public do to protect voting rights?</strong></p>\n<p><strong>ML: </strong>Everyone can do something to protect our democracy.</p>\n<p>Let me give you a <a href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/21/fix-american-democracy-voting-rights-supreme-court-senate/\">great example</a>: In 2016, Katie Fahey, then a 27-year-old program manager for a Michigan recycling group, recognized that gerrymandering in her state was denying citizens adequate representation. At the time, the governing party in the state legislature designed its own district maps without constraint. A political neophyte, Fahey posted a short message on her Facebook page asking if anyone was interested in joining her to address the problem. Her post ultimately sparked a grassroots campaign with thousands of volunteers for a constitutional amendment creating an independent commission of citizens to oversee redistricting. The referendum for the amendment they placed on the Michigan ballot in 2018 passed with 61 percent of the vote, and after the 2020 census, the new commission drew new, fairer district lines.</p>\n<p>This year, people can take action in their own community by supporting and volunteering for organizations working to increase electoral participation, such as their local League of Women Voters and NAACP, or such statewide organizations as Common Cause. Besides getting out the vote, people can help local officials protect election integrity and lend a hand at election time at the polls, as election administrators are often dependent on volunteer workers. Most important, if governing party legislators are trying to insulate themselves through restrictive or biased election laws, vote them out of office. Voters should support candidates who advocate for electoral integrity and universal standards that ensure free and fair elections for everyone.</p>\n<p><em>Part of a series on <a href=\"https://blog.ucsusa.org/elliott-negin/can-election-science-ensure-the-integrity-of-the-2024-elections/\">Ask a Scientist</a>.</em></p>\n<p><em>Courtesy of <a href=\"https://blog.ucsusa.org/elliott-negin/can-election-science-ensure-the-integrity-of-the-2024-elections/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"canonical noopener\">Union of Concerned Scientists, The Equation</a>.

For the design of the platform support beams, gravitational loads and extreme wind gust loads were taken into account. The selection of the support structure concept was performed using a multi-criteria analysis, H2SEA says. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, an analytical fully dynamical model was constructed in Maple for fatigue assessment. The structure was simulated by the equations of motions, including airy wave force, rotor damping, topside and platform mass and rotational inertia, embedded length and homogeneous soil stiffness. The Maple model was used to simulate the dynamic behaviour of both structures, determine the first and second natural frequency, and present displacements and overturning moments in these two mode shapes.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a fatigue damage calculation including 500 combinations of wave height and period was performed, for a 25-year lifetime.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dutch engineering company has already been involved in hydrogen projects, including the Hâ‚‚opZee demonstration project, for which Neptune Energy and RWE awarded a contract to H2SEA back in 2022 for a feasibility study for the hydrogen platform concept design and engineering.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>For the Hâ‚‚opZee project, H2SEA’s sibling company Enersea was awarded the pipeline concept design work and Siemens Gamesa the concept work for wind turbine systems.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of last year, H2SEA announced that the company had developed <a href=\"https://h2sea.nl/2023/02/09/h2sea-achieves-breakthrough-in-off-grid-offshore-hydrogen-production/\">solutions for system stability</a> in off-grid offshore wind turbine hydrogen production. Three potential solutions were developed by H2SEA and have been analysed in an Electro Magnetic Transient (EMT) study together with high voltage engineering specialist Enersynt.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The preferred solution showed the feasibility of using conventional wind turbines in a system with grid-forming converters and energy storage.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October last year, H2SEA said it had put together a strategy, together with the consulting firm Guidehouse, for pipeline system operators NGT (NoordGasTransport) and NOGAT (Northern Offshore Gas Transport).
