#WordPressWednesday 2013 Volume 6

The WordPress community is a lively one indeed! I hope this week’s #WordPressWednesday roundup is a nice little slice of the pie.

I’ve gotten some emails from several people submitting their website for consideration as a WordPress resource to check in on. Many of them did not make my cut as they were re-written articles from other places, including articles that I have written in the past. In fact, I am planning a post that is not a rant, but some food for thought to content scrapers just wanting people to make money. Stay tuned for that post.

In the meantime, please enjoy this week’s #WordPressWednesday issue.

WordPress Community News

WPBeginner shares a beginner’s guide on the 25 Most Common WordPress Mistakes to Avoid.

WPAvengers is rocking the WordPress community with one big kerfuffle on a WooCommerce related plugin that people are either: up in arms, not sure what to trust, or confused. What is definite is that a lot of the talk boils down to their ethics in taking others products (regardless that those extensions are all under the GPL licensing), and forking it to sell to people. Some of the original developers of the extensions they are selling have even come to voice their opinion. Some developers who chose the GPL model are seeming confused on what really is GPL and what the rights are for it.

Al Davis shares his thoughts on The State of WordPress Education at Torque. Being that the number of WordPress sites are growing tremendously, Al states that with some places teaching WordPress, there should be a standard curriculum. Side note: There is a very nice discussion going on in this post.

See you next Wednesday for another #WordPressWednesday roundup!
