Feels odd to say this, but it feels like way too early for Spring. I mean, I very much prefer Spring and Summer but this early? I wonder if we are gonna wind up with an actual early Spring, or if we are gonna have such a mild rest of the Winter that the Summer never truly gets hot? I've experienced those before, they suck!

This gets me thinking about the Philadelphia Experiment – if you don't know what that is, go and look it up. It's pretty cool.

Dunno about the rest of you – but I really find snow rather irritating. I mean, with a snow blower it's a lot less so – but its… wet… and cold… and it sticks around long after its welcome has worn thin! It's like the guest that has overstayed it's welcome…
Although it IS a good excuse to drink more hot chocolate and cuddle up to your loved ones, so it does have that going for it. Hoping everyone out there is keeping warm and dry and enjoying their hot drinks with their loved ones!

Happy New Years! Well, I don't know about all of you out there, but here abouts it started snowing today. My youngest is all for the snow, meanwhile my oldest and I are both grumbling about the snow. Hopefully everyone out there is staying warm and dry through the colder parts of the winter season!

Amber's Rant:
Welcome to Episode 618 – Holiday Magic for WordPress Plugins!
We're not gonna be doing a regular show today where we do a couple of in-depth plugin reviews for you. Instead, we're gonna mainly be talking about where WordPress is today, and where we think it's going in 2024 and beyond. There may be some chatter about some favourite plugins we have covered throughout the last year, some mentions of past news and other things, but since this is a Holiday show we are really just gonna be ‘winging' it.
Our regular reminders before we start the show today….

WordPress Tips
Even though this isn't really a scripted show today, I do have one bit of advice that may or may not be useful for our producers out there.
Holiday Hours
Whether you have been in this business for ever now, or you are just starting out, remember to take some time for yourself this holiday season – and every other holiday season.
I know that you are probably busy, and you probably have a bunch of projects on the go all with deadlines just around the corner due to the New Years – but what good are you gonna be if you burn out?
Give yourself permission to take the time away from work.
And if you are doing these projects for your clients, and they are giving you a hard time, wanting you to to work through the holidays, just tell them that you are working on it. Don't tell them to bugger off (no matter how good that might feel), just placate them, sweet talk them, and then take your time off without guilt.
After all,
Customer Reviews
Great information on plugins
I don't find all the plugins applicable (not using WooCommerce), but generally in a month there will be 1 to 3 great plugins that I will explore to see if they will fit into my sites ... also the discussion of various plugins plants seeds in my mind of what could be used in websites.
I just wanted to mention about your last contest and why I didn't enter ... I live on Bowen Island just off the coast of West Vancouver and while the plugin sounded great the maps were for the USA ... don't live there ... not sure I want to visit there anymore. I would have entered if there was an option to get the map for Canada or even BC instead of the USA.
Would love to contribute to your podcast, but currently all but one of the websites I manage are for non profits and I work on them for free ... hopefully in the future I will get some paying clients that will allow me to expand. So unfortunately all you can get from me is an iTunes review ... 5 dragons!
Keep up the great work ... love the new format and sounds.
Oh Dear! Sound quality 😬
So many good ideas, great content but the sound quality finally got to me! Poor quality sound and acoustics on one mike. On the other mike, clear as a bell including unwanted, unmuted sounds like coughing, nose blowing, computer alerts, rustling and more.
Sound on an audio podcast is everything. Here I am on headphones folks! So also drop the Too Loud Jingle that makes me jump out of my skin. I will continue to read the online transcripts which are great.
Glad I found you!!
I can't tell you the time I search through the Wordpress repository looking for plugins.
I just found you guys a few days ago and after listening to a handfull of episodes I'm hooked.
Keep up the excellent work!!!
A must listen for Wordpress users.
