Using WordPress in enterprises with old browsers installed can be problematic. Developers whinge about it (and should stop) and staff struggle with it. Well, there’s an answer to both that may surprise you.
We have lots of corporate clients. They have important websites, sometimes with particular intellectual property and information that they’d rather not share with rivals. Consequently, knowing what information is being sent by the software underpinning your website is important. We knew that WordPress is chatty from previous articles such as Lynne Pope’s on WordPress Privacy, various discussions on WordPress support… continue reading ⇢
We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be talking at WordCamp UK yet again! The final details will be announced over at the official WordCamp UK site. In the meantime, a lot of times you hear the debate over whether or not it’s worth attending and speaking at this type of unconference. They’re relatively casual affairs, full of quite geeky types… continue reading ⇢
If you create great content, your WordPress site is going to get a lot of traffic. That’s a good thing! One of our clients has done just that, but we had a couple of problems – he’s become popular in general, bringing in, on busy days, over 10,000 visitors, many of whom look around the site. And worse, he’s also… continue reading ⇢

The attitude has been a straight “upgrade your blog and you’ll be secure.” Well, I have news for you. … continue reading ⇢
This is the presentation given by David Coveney at WordCamp UK 2009 in Cardiff. It covers the advantages, problems and implementations of WordPress as used by the News & Media sectors. If you need to view the slide notes (primarily for me, to be honest, but you may see some points that got cut during the presentation) you’ll have to… continue reading ⇢
Last year we decided to keep quiet at WordCamp UK, on the whole, beyond a spot of sponsorship – simply because we didn’t have that much to talk about that we felt could be exciting. But a year has changed a lot – WordPress is becoming popular for large scale blogging platforms such as The Telegraph Blogs, and for use… continue reading ⇢
