Web Performant WordPress
In January, I interviewed Kyle Simpson on Episode 4 the ATX Web Show. We discussed Web Performance and Google’s plan to “Make the Web Faster”.

How to Customize the WordPress Admin Area
WordPress is one of the best CMSs out there — if not the best (but of course, I’m biased because I’m a WordPress fanatic). It has loads of handy features that make site administration a breeze. WordPress is a publishing platform with a comment system, a GUI for creating, editing and managing posts and pages, handy built-in tools like the “Export” feature to back up your content, user roles and permissions, and more.
