Over the past few days, the WPBeginner team has been in New York City at Blog World Expo East. While here we have the pleasure of being able to share interesting sessions with you like this panel, presented by Randy Adler, Christopher Prince Boucher, Jessica Kantor, and Bob Knorpp. Online content is competing with traditional print media every day. But unlike print media, online content is a space where the rules of copyright are blurred. Content sharing is huge on blogs and so much less so in traditional media, making it especially hard for big news giants to make the transformation from print to blog without some growing pains. The fact of the matter is, people are going to find and share your information. If you do not allow them to, by providing avenues for them to interact with you and get your permission for sharing, they will either steal your content or torrent it. Unfortunately, the legal world puts the burden on the copyright owner to protect and police their copyright, … [Read more...] about The black, white, and gray of cross linking, reposting, and media rights

If we received a dollar every time someone mentioned or asked a question about bounce rate, we would be millionaires. I mean, a lot has been said, written and asked about this “monster” traffic metric that seems to scare all and sundry. But that’s probably because many peeps who cower when bounce rate is mentioned usually don’t know a thing about the infamous bounce, or perhaps any other traffic metric for that matter. Oh the naivety that lives on the internet. It’s as astounding as it’s appalling. Here’s a moment of truth though: Bounce rate is simply the percentage of people who leave your site without viewing any page other than the entrance page. Confusing much? Let’s lift the shroud of mystery off this animal called the bounce rate once and for all.

Over the past week, I’ve been thinking a lot about George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. I have been thinking about white supremacy, the injustice that Black women and men are standing up against across the world, and all the injustices I can’t know, and don’t see. The WordPress mission is to democratize publishing, and to me, that has always meant more than the freedom to express yourself. Democratizing publishing means giving voices to the voiceless and amplifying those speaking out against injustice. It means learning things that we otherwise wouldn’t. To me, it means that every voice has the ability to be heard, regardless of race, wealth, power, and opportunity. WordPress is a portal to commerce; it is a canvas for identity, and a catalyst for change. While WordPress as an open source project may not be capable of refactoring unjust judicial systems or overwriting structural inequality, this does not mean that we, the WordPress community, are powerless.
