Genesis Multisite Discussion

A few days ago, myself and a few others in the Genesis community had a great discussion on multisite. We discussed how to install it, how it works, some do’s and don’ts. It was the first discussion that we ever had and I think it came out great! You can check out the full post by Alan Smith and watch the discussion as well on his site: WordPress Multisite Hangout.

We’re going to have another hangout next week live on youtube discussing security on WordPress. If you have any questions or any ideas for discussions, make sure you check out the Genesis Community on Google + and let us know. Here’s the direct link: Genesis Community Events. Enjoy!

The most popular I’ve seen has been Bill Ericksons Easier, Better, Grid Loop. His grid loop works flawlessly when implemented. I think it may have just been a little too advanced for me.

I created a new Genesis Grid Loop that you can use on any theme you like. The concept is exactly like Bill Erickson’s, but the code is very different.Read More

The Design Contest Controversy

Earlier today I mentioned a company called 99designs to someone who was looking to get a book cover done. 99designs is a crowd sourcing company that runs “contests” to deliver on what the user wants. I’ve used their services before and was very pleased with the results. After I mentioned 99designs I received the following tweet:Read More
