As an application, WordPress is in a unique position.
For one thing, it powers roughly 25% of the web in that it serves as both as a blogging platform and content management system. But it's also an application that has a vibrant economy of designers and developers around it who can extend the application and push it to do far more than the core application can.
When it comes to software development, it's not at all uncommon to see this type of economy built around other libraries, frameworks, and languages, but to see this built around an actual application is unique.
In short, we not only have users who are using WordPress to power their site or their blog, but we have people who are making a living by providing services to these individuals and businesses and customers at large by building unique products.
Ultimately, it's about solving problems that these customers need to fully round out what WordPress provides.
But if you're someone who is moving from another field into WordPress, or you're looking to get started in WordPress development, how can you identify where your talents would be best utilized?
WordPress is a large application, and it provides a lot of functionality and a lot of opportunities, but knowing what potential exists coupled with what talent and passion you have can help you decide where you want to get involved with the project.
Before we get too deep into discussing how you can get involved with designing or developing with WordPress, it's important to note that I'm not setting out to provide a three-step guide on how to start a business.
Furthermore, the purpose of this article has nothing to do with what's entailed in setting up a business. Instead, it's about finding the aspects of WordPress that align with a skillset that you have (however mature it may or may not be) and finding the best fit for them within the overall WordPress economy.
If you're a web designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, database engineer, some of the above, or all of the above, then there is a place for you when working with WordPress.
And now that we've clarified that, let's move forward.
Depending on the articles you read throughout the web, the definition of "web design," "code," "coding," and "writing software" may all carry different connotations than how they will be used in this article.
To help make sense of what I'm saying throughout this article, I want to define the terms above so that we're all on the same page:
Though I'm sure we could discuss the nuances of these in depth, this article is not the place for that particular discussion. This is how these terms will be used throughout the remainder of this article.
If you have questions, comments, or anything to add to this, don't hesitate to contribute to the conversation in the comments as I'm always open to hearing how others look at these topics and apply them in their work.
When working with WordPress, you can think about projects as falling into one of two camps:
The presentation usually refers to a theme, or how a website, a web application, or a blog appears to the user. Functionality refers to a feature of a given project. This may enhance the existing functionality of WordPress or add to the core application.
This is not to say that the two are mutually exclusive, though. Themes may sometimes include a functional feature, and plugins may include a component that interacts with a theme.
Furthermore, depending on where you purchase your theme, you may find that a theme has a lot of features baked into it. Depending on your school of thought, this may or may not be a bad thing.
Applying your skills in web design to WordPress requires that you have a knowledge of templates and how a given theme should work. That is, will it be used for a blog or a website?
And regardless of which it is, you'll need to be familiar with the various templates WordPress provides so that you can design for those. At an even finer level of detail, it's important to understand the parts of templates that are included (such as the header, the sidebar, and the footer) so that you can properly design for those as well.
This isn't so much about providing constraints just because. It's about knowing how the platform for which you're designing structures its content. Additionally, creating a design and shipping the assets to a development team can ease the burden on both of you if the design is sliced up properly for a given template.
Above all else, you're most likely going to find your strength in design most applicable in the area of WordPress themes. After all, this is the area of the platform that provides what users see whenever they interact with the application.
This doesn't mean that plugins don't need design work, as we'll see momentarily, but the amount of design that goes into a theme usually far exceeds that which is required of plugins.
The type of developer you are will dictate which area of WordPress you're going to be most likely able to contribute the most.
Case in point: If you're a front-end developer, and you're used to working with the three main languages and their associated tools and libraries for building out user interfaces, pages, templates, and so on, then you're going to be most likely comfortable working on themes.
This will require minimal knowledge of PHP in that you'll need to have an understanding of WordPress template tags, but how you end up presenting the data always falls back to the front-end technologies that are available today.
So if you're a front-end developer looking to get involved in WordPress in one way or another, then consider creating a theme. Or perhaps consider partnering with a designer to create a theme.
Though this is outside the scope of the article, you can submit this into the WordPress theme repository where others may download it for free, you can launch a site to sell the product to other people, or you can make it available in the Envato Marketplace.
If themes are for presentation, then plugins are for functionality. Again, this doesn't mean that plugins have no user interface components (because they often do), and it doesn't mean that designers have no place contributing to them (because there is an opportunity for this).
But the requirements and demands of working on a plugin differ drastically from working on a theme.
When it comes to creating WordPress plugins, the first things that come to mind on releasing plugins are the branding assets that come with the plugin.
That is the plugin's logo, and the collateral for the marketing material (like manual, branding, and/or the work that provides the look and feel in the WordPress Plugin Repository).
If the plugin includes some functionality that works on the front-end (like a widget or a form), then a designer's eye can help a developer provide a solid experience, especially as it relates to integrating with a given theme or collection of themes.
If themes are for front-end developers, then plugins are often for back-end developers. This doesn't necessarily mean a plugin developer shouldn't know any front-end languages, but it's more often than not the case that a knowledge of PHP and familiarity with WordPress hooks will be required.
After all, many plugins will need to pass data to and from WordPress throughout various points in the WordPress lifecycle. Furthermore, the knowledge of how the underlying database is structured and how to use the available APIs is important so that you're properly serializing, validating, and retrieving information to work with the user.
Does this mean you need to be an expert database engineer to work with the underlying database? No. But if you are a database engineer, then you'll likely find yourself in a good position to optimize the work that application-layer developers are doing.
Furthermore, if you're a developer who is working on a plugin that will interface with the underlying database and you're going to need to add custom tables, talk with a database specialist first as they'll be able to help you make smarter decisions when it comes to structuring your data.
And why wouldn't we do that? As developers, we often work with designers to help make sure our things follow proper standards concerning design and user experience. Why limit ourselves to just the front-end?
In addition to a solid understanding of PHP, hooks, and general server-side programming practices, I'd argue that it also helps to have an understanding of how to create well-structured, organized, maintainable, and testable code. This is something that we don't often see in WordPress, but it's never too late to introduce something like this.
Let's shift gears for a moment, though. What if you aren't a designer or a developer but you still want to work with WordPress?
Given that WordPress is all about the aspect of publishing and given that so many businesses build their web presence on the platform, that doesn't mean that work is limited solely to designers and developers.
Once a site is launched and ready to face the public, this doesn't mean that it's done. Far from it. Now, it's more common to see sites continually updated with information, media, and so on than just sitting on the Internet waiting for visitors to peruse what was published months or perhaps years ago.
This is where marketers, writers, and publishers come into play. Imagine if you were able to take your skills to a company that had their online presence built on WordPress and use your skills with the written word to help them grow their business through a combination of your skills and the WordPress economy?
This would make a strong case and a strong cause for what you do, all the while making a living (or perhaps a hobby) within the WordPress economy.
Whenever I talk with those who are interested in getting involved in WordPress, one question that often comes up is:
Should I get involved in building products or building custom solutions for others?
And that's not a question to which I can provide a direct answer. Instead, I'd say that it's important to recognize the pros and cons of each and how they'd play out in your career.
Products are often more about getting into the support business than getting into the software development business. Once a product has been developed and released, you're going to have customers (and hopefully many of them!) that you're going to need to support.
This means that you're going to need to have the necessary processes, infrastructure, and people in place to properly serve them. Each person's needs are going to be different as there are a lot of variables that come into play when working with WordPress.
These variables include the version of PHP their host runs, which host they're on, which theme they are using, the combination of plugins they are using, and so on.
Though you're not technically offering support for other people's work, you need to make sure that the product you've released works well with the ecosystem as a whole. And though things will ultimately come back to writing, modifying, and releasing code, it will start with customer support.
Custom solutions, on the other hand, are more in line with the type of work an agency does. This means that a customer needs some work done. Perhaps they need a theme, a plugin, some project management, hosting, something end-to-end, or something in-between.
Whatever the case, the problems you'll be solving will be about the customer at hand. The challenge with this is being able to work with a variety of things that fit a client's budget and any existing infrastructure they may have.
On top of that, you'll need to do a bit of marketing to generate a pipeline of clients so that you have a continual stream of work to keep your business or freelancing career rolling. Though that's outside the scope of this article, it's something worth considering and researching should you choose to go this route.
WordPress is a large application and serves a massive amount of the Internet. Getting involved in its economy is exciting, but knowing where to start can be challenging. Ideally, this tutorial will help you identify the places in the WordPress ecosystem in which you can get involved.
Ultimately, it's about identifying where opportunity exists and trying to find the intersection of what you're good at doing and what you enjoy doing. It's completely possible to build a successful business doing this, but it takes familiarity, diligence, discipline, and education.
At any rate, I hope the above tips have helped to explain where points of opportunity exist and how you can start putting your skills to work.
If you're looking to build products rather than custom solutions, you may be interested in getting involved in the Envato Market. Note that if you're also brand new to WordPress and looking for opportunities for how to get started, then review my series on how to get started with WordPress.

Advanced Dating Techniques is a program by David Deangelo to improve men's seduction knowledge and skills.
Bullet Summary
- Address your limiting beliefs
- Always be flirting
- Use cocky and funny: be cocky and then take the edge off with humor
Advanced Dating Techniques Summary
The Advanced Dating Technique programs is a longish program with interviews, questions from the audience and lots of chatter.
I haven't taken extensive notes as I listened and little struck my fancy. I will summarize here some points which I remembered.
Limiting Beliefs
If a belief is limiting you, you can challenge it by thinking of any experience that disproves it. Or you can ammass experiences that disprove it.
Empowering Beliefs
Consistent effort CREATES luck.
Newcomers always look for the routine or the sexy trick. But there are no silver bullets. Learn and master the fundamentals instead. Focus on them before you even start thinking about the fancy tricks.
Assert Own Reality
When you assert your own reality you are the dominant one in it.
Build your own reality where others are a guest in it.
Beliefs of Successful Men
A high quality man has the following beliefs:
- I put myself and my life first
- I don't let women gain control over me
- I deserve high quality women
- I'm indifferent to the outcome
- I'm in control and don't let outside events control me
- I don't tolerate disrespect to myself, my time or my property
- I'm a catch
- I judge people on character, not looks or possessions
Look at Body Language
Pay attention and learn body language because it accounts for 93% of communication
My Note: not true, that's one of the most misunderstood and misquoted study ever.
High Novelty Seeking
High novelty seekers get more actions. Try new things, go for more experiences and take risks.
Approach Anxiety
There are four major fears when you approach a woman:
- Embarrassment
- Rejection
- Verbal confrontation
- Physical violence
To overcome fear, imagine the worst possible outcome and laugh about it.
Lots of Theory & Little Seduction
Deangelo talks, I quote "your DNA spontaneous comes apart and half of it goes to make sperm". Little later "sex is a very economic game. A woman produces one egg per month".
Deangelo even starts reading passages live, which felt way too theoretical for me.
Slow & Two Timing
Deangelo is slow and often repeats the same phrases twice, just to make it sound deeper.
It reminded me of Jimmy Two Times here:
Overuse of Cocky Funny
Some it felt like a few of the lines here were just one little step forward from cheesy pick up lines.
Little Depth and Details
Whenever it comes to techniques the program feels shallow. For example in approaching in difficult situations, the author lists a bunch of approaches types but gives little examples and little wisdom on each -and among those approaching types there is "entertain her with magic" :S-.
Didn't Like Some Advice
In my opinion, some the seduction advice was not that good. For example Deangelo shows some of his texts when she doesn't reply or when he's chatting online.
It seemed a bit childish to me and going nowhere.
Also the "fun" of sending the picture of an ugly guy… Definitely not my thing. If a woman were to send me the picture of an ugly woman to look better in comparison I'd think she's a low quality woman or has very low self esteem if she needs to make fun of others trying to look better.
That's the definition of social climbing, and it's not a high quality behavior.
Advanced Dating Techniques Review
There is quite a lot on limiting beliefs, but it's not as deep as on dedicated self-transformation programs like in Tony Robbins' Personal Power II for example.
And the second part on actual seduction I found it a bit watered down and underwhelming, not too unlike DeAngelo's Sexual Communication.
The whole program was too slow and too discursive in my opinion to be really be effective.
I now tried a couple different products from Deangelo and couldn't get into them.
I gave it a try and I wasn't impressed.
You give it a shot and maybe you'll have a different experience.

Integrating Capsule CRM with Better Proposals allows you to quickly and easily search for a contact in your CRM account when you're filling in who your proposal is for. This means that you don't have to remember every client's details off the top of your head.
Connecting your Account
To connect your Capsule account:
- Click the settings icon in the top right and then click 'Integrations'.
- Choose 'CRM' and then 'Capsule'.
- Click the green 'Connect Capsule' button and follow the instructions to log in to your account
- Once you're logged in (or if you're already logged in), you'll be sent back to a page that looks like this which confirms that you've connected your account
Searching your Account
Once your account is connected, when you create a new proposal, you will see a new third option to send to 'Someone from my CRM'.
When you click this, you'll see a search box. Simply type part of or the whole name of the company you're looking for and hit the 'Search' button.
Choose the company you're after in the results and then tick the relevant contacts that you'd like this to be sent to (don't worry, you can edit this later).
Click 'Continue' and finish filling in the rest of the details as normal.
Syncing your Proposal to an Opportunity
IMPORTANT: If you had connected the Capsule integration before 1st February 2019, you'll just need to disconnect and re-connect it to kick this update into action. You can do this in Settings > Integrations > CRM.
Once you've created a proposal using the above search feature, you will be able to sync your proposal to any opportunity associated with that company. Do bear in mind that the opportunity must already exist in Capsule.
Simply click on the proposal and click 'Sync Capsule Opportunity' on the right hand side.
This will open a sidebar where you can choose from a dropdown which opportunity you want to sync this proposal to. Simply select the opportunity and then click 'Sync Now'.
Once the opportunity is synced, you'll see a success message and a note will be posted to the opportunity in Capsule with a link to the proposal. The 'Sync Capsule Opportunity' button on the right hand side will now say 'Open Capsule Opportunity' so you can access it directly at any time.
Each time the proposal is opened and then when the proposal is signed, new notes will be added to the opportunity automatically.

We like Sad Boulders
mehhhh a few good ones, mostly not that big of a fan. strength in numbers is really fun, as is erotic terrorist and cow skull.
Cryptic and powerful movement on most of the lines. The concentration is lower than that of the Happy Boulders, and shade can be found here all day.
How can this be so close to the buttermilks? So sick. Ice caves and some ultra classics like Strength in numbers(V5) and Molly(V5).

The government has recognised the need for specialised approach to planning for people with disabilities that come from 'severe and persistent' mental health issues under the NDIS.
This follows a recommendation from Mental Health Australia in its National Disability Insurance Scheme Psychosocial Disability Stream Report. The intention is to provide better support for 64,000 people with psychosocial disability as well as their families and carers.
The Minister for Families and Social Services, Paul Fletcher and Assistant Minister for Disability Services Sarah Henderson made the announcement on World Mental Health Day.
Assistant Minister Henderson thanked the many people including NDIS participants, families, carers, mental health professionals, advocates and agencies who informed the report's recommendations.
The Psychosocial Disability Support Stream will be rolled out progressively. One of the things it includes will be to employ specialised planners and local area coordinators. Another is a 'focus on recovery-based planning and episodic needs.'
This is a recognition that mental health recovery journeys do not take place in a straight line. It is common for people to experience a 'zigzagging' in their level of wellness over time.
One of the big concerns of the mental health sector has been about people 'falling through the cracks' with the introduction of the NDIS.
As government funding was taken away from previous services like Personal Helpers and Mentors (PHaMs) it was feared that the people who accessed those services would not re-engage with them through the NDIS.
According to Pro Bono magazine, By July 2018, only 10 per cent, or 2,030 people, from PHaMs had transitioned to the NDIS.
Some estimates show that there are up to 690,000 people living with severe mental health issues Australia. Always remember that Flourish Australia can help you plan your NDIS package.

Afternoon all,
After West Brom's shock win over Liverpool last night, manager Steve Clarke has said that he focusing soley on Premier League survival this season, even though they are currently eigth in the table. The Baggies claimed their first win of 2013 and first win in six games against Liverpool who were very much the form side in the Premier League after putting in some fantastic performances against Arsenal and Manchester City already this month
Former Manchester United player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that he would love to return to the club one day as their manager. As a player, Solskjaer spent over 10 years as a player at Old Trafford and he then went on to manage their reserves. Since leaving United Solskjaer has been manager of Norwegian side Molde where he has won the league with them twice in successive seasons. In a recent interview, Solskjaer hinted that he would be up to the task of being United manager when current boss Sir Alex Ferguson retires
According to one of Anzhi's directors, QPR were "out of their minds" to sign Chris Samba for £12.5 million on transfer deadline day. It is rumoured that Samba is earning £100,000 a week at his new club, which is crazy for a club in QPR's situation to be paying someone. QPR currently find themselves sitting at the bottom of the Premier League seven points from safety and have a massive battle on their hands to stay in the division
Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris believes that the club can finish in the top three of the table if they keep up their current form. Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier Leeague, only one point behind Chelsea, who's form of late hasn't been the best. Where as Spurs are playing some incredible football at the moment, especially Gareth Bale who has scored 19 goals this season and has been linked with a big money move to Spanish side Real Madrid
Southampton midfielder Steve Davis has not ruled out a return to former side Rangers in the future. Davis joined the Saints from Rangers in the summer in a deal believed to be worth around £800,000. Davis has also stated that he still has a lot of love for the club where he played for four years and was devistated when he was told that he had to leave
Former Sunderland and Everton forward James McFadden could be offfered a chance to return to Sunderland. McFadden's Sunderland contract expired in January even though Martin O'Neill was keen to keep him on. But McFadden was due to move to Championship side Nottingham Forest until Alex McLeish left the club, so the deal was cancelled
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he can't wait for midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa to be fully fit again and he thinks that it will be exciting because of all of the options that he will have at his disposal. If Ben Arfa's recovery goes to plan, he should be in contention to face Southampton on 24th February
Southampton's Steve De Ridder who is currently on loan at Championship club Bolton is relieved to have made his first league start in almost a year. De Ridder's last league start was for Southampton last March in a 2-1 win against Burnley. De Ridder had found it hard to break into the Southampton first team last season and was mainly used as a substitute. But since his move to Bolton, De Ridder has already started two games and he has claimed that it feels great
Bury have signed former Belgium Under-21 international Jeanvion Yulu-Matondo on non-contract terms subject to international clearance. The 27-year-old had been on trial with the club for the past three weeks with the side who sit five points from safety in League One

Coders Safeguard Vulnerable Ethereum Wallets Following Security Breach
Ethereum suffered large-scale security breaches last week after anonymous hackers targeted vulnerable wallets in the network, resulting in the loss of tens of millions of dollars. However, it didn't take long for a volunteer group of coders to "rescue" the funds in 500 at-risk wallets before the same attackers could get to them too.
White Hat Group Takes Charge
The so-called White Hat Group showed initiative by "rescuing" the funds using the same techniques the thieves employed to compromise $32 million USD worth of ether from three multi-signature wallets. As of Monday, the White Hat Group of ethical hackers was in possession of $86 million worth of ether and an additional $122 million in tokens.
Tokens are digital assets that are sold during an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) fundraising event. They have proven to be extremely popular.
Tens of millions of dollars worth of ether and tokens have already been returned to their owners. The White Hat Group says it will issue full refunds by the end of July.
Blockchain-based trading platform Coindash was also breached last week, resulting in the loss of more than $7 million worth of ether.
Security Breaches Nothing New in Crypto World
For all its benefits, cryptocurrency has been vulnerable to several high-profile security breaches. Last summer, Hong Kong-based Bitfinex was the target of a major attack that resulted in the theft of around $70 million worth of bitcoins. In response, the exchange announced a controversial plans to "socialize" its losses among all users. Each Bitfinex trader was docked 36% as a result.
Bitcoin prices declined sharply following the attack, stopping what had been a blistering summer of gains.
Ethereum Enterprise Alliance
For anyone doubting the potential of the ether, take a look at the list of companies participating in the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA). The EEA is a forum that connects Fortune 500 companies, startups and academics with ethereum subject matter experts. The EEA is made up of multinational banks and some of the world's biggest technology companies.
The forum has made cyber security a top priority, according to a May 22 press release. In the release, companies like Infosys, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Synechron and others expressed their intent to contribute to the future of ethereum's security.

Nursery rhymes facing extinction
Of late, parents are familiarising their kids with pop songs and not Humpty Dumpty or Jack and Jill, says a survey.art-and-culture Updated: Jul 10, 2007 13:51 IST
Nursery rhymes like Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill are on the verge of extinction, for a new survey has revealed that these childhood verses are no longer sung by parents to their children due to their increased preferences for pop songs.
According to the poll, more than 50 per cent of the parents could not recall a single rhyme and though research says that singing to children can be an advantage at school, 37 per cent of the parents admitted that they hardly sing to their kids.
Thirty eight per cent admitted that they sing only pop songs to their children. The survey, which was conducted for the pre-school channel Cartoonito, quizzed more than 1,200 parents across Britain.
<b1>Out of the total respondents, only 12 per cent could recollect full three rhymes and those in London and the Midlands were least probable to know a complete rhyme.
Parents did not know most popular rhymes like Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, Ring-a-Ring O'Roses, Baa, Baa Black Sheep and Hickory, Dickory Dock.
About 71 per cent did not know the historical meanings of the rhymes and only 28 per cent of young parents sing to their kids 'all the time'.
"Not only are nursery rhymes an important historical part of our culture, but by singing them to young children you can help speed up the development of their communication, memory, language and reading skills," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Janine Spencer, development psychologist at Brunel University, as saying.
The study also found that those in the South West and Wales are the regions well-versed in rhymes.
A spokesman for Cartoonito said that "It would be an incredible shame if they slip out of popular culture, particularly when song is proven to help children learn".
