Automattic Announces CodePoet / I’m in the eBook!

My friends at Automattic just announced the re-vamping of their CodePoet Program. They have a fancy new website with great resources for developers, designers, and builders. WPCandy has a great article about the launch. Congrats to Pete Davies, Michael Pick, Evan Solomon, Rebecca Collins, Krista Stevens, and Dave Martin for an outstanding job on the site! I really can not wait to see where this goes. They’re really tapping into the community and sharing thoughts and resources from the best in the business. Its incredible.

I’m in the eBook Y’all!

Along with the great resource that is the site, they are also doing an eBook series. They interviewed me for their book on WordPress and Responsive Design – you can read my thoughts on the subject in the eBook! Get it! It’s Free!!! And it looks beautiful! Michael Pick did and incredible job designing it. It’s just lovely. See my incredibly designed bio page below.
