Happy New Year (Plans for 2025)

Here’s what has been happening since the last podcast episode:

• I started as a Customer Success Manager at WooCommerce


• WordCamp US happened in Sept 2024


• The community exploded with the WPEngine situation, how it was handled etc.


• Spent a week in Tulum Mexico with the WooCommerce Division


• Immediately afterwards took a 3-month sabbatical from Oct 14 – Jan 14


• During my time off, spent time on house projects, traveled to Florida for Thanksgiving, 52 Christmas shows and coached basketball


• Also completely relaunched FunctionalMedicineCE.com with blocks and using LifterLMS. Jetpack page speed went from a D to a high A (on desktop)

Here are the plans for Your Website Engineer in 2025

• Release more than 9 shows 😬


• Restructuring shows
  
  
  
  • No more segments
  
  
  • Different type of episodes each month: WordPress News, highlight a service that integrates with WordPress, deep dive into a plugin to review, chat with someone in the WordPress community.
  
  
  
  


• If you have a plugin (free or paid) reach out and let me know if you’d like it highlighted on a show


• Also looking for business owners, course creators, WordPress enthusiasts to chat about how you use WordPress


• Roll out 2025 theme as the new theme for Your Website Engineer


• Set up templates in WordPress for efficiently creating new shows

Some of the upcoming shows are:

• State of the Word 2025 Recap


• New attribute features in WordPress 6.7


• Integrations with Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Zapier, Google Analytics


• Plugin reviews including LifterLMS, Loco Translate, Imagify and more!
