    Amber's Rant:

    Welcome to Episode 628 – Packing Them in – We've got a couple of great in-depth plugins to cover for you, some recent news in both the WordPress World and the Tech World in general, and some awesome WordPress Tips!

    We have an announcement to make regarding the show and how often we will be coming back over the summer:

    We will be doing the regular every other week throughout June, though for July and August we will only be doing one show per month. The dates will be:

    July 29

    and

    August 19

    We will be going back to normal for September though.

    Hopefully everyone manages to get out into the bits of sunshine that are showing up with more regularity now!!

    A few reminders before we start the show today….

    Reminders:



    * Reminder that our show is now every other week, and that it starts at 12:30 PM Pacific Time, with a pre-stream starting around 12:15 PM Pacific Time. Pre-stream is where we twiddle with the dials and knobs and really just warm up our voices, so join in for some entertainment value!

    * Our show notes for each episode can be found at wppluginsatoz.com – the newest show notes will be up within 24 hours and on our front page!

    * Don't forget that this is a value for value show, and that you are a big part of it's creation! You are our producers, and we need you to help us produce! Get out there and hit some like buttons, share an episode or two, and let people know that you help to produce the longest running WordPress Plugins podcast!



    That's it for reminders, don't forget to stick around until the end of the show for some possibly life altering advice!

    ...When you see this in the notes, it means we didn't read this on the show. The only way to find this information out is to read our Show Notes!

    …You can send any questions/suggestions or notes saying ‘hi' over to me at amber@wppro.ca, or hit up our site wpppluginsatoz.com/contact – Be creative with the title so that the spammer eater doesn't eat your note though!

    I hope everyone was able to get a glimpse of natures firework show on Friday night! I managed to get my entire little family outside and starring at the night sky – it was amazing! Sometimes looking like lightening almost as the waves hit – I noticed that the colours showed up way more vibrantly in the pictures I took then what I saw with my eyes though, how about anyone out there?

    The weather in our area is at that point where it can't decide what it's gonna be – it's nice and sunny during the day, but the nights are freaking cold! No more dropping down to 0, but really, 18 for the day and only 3 for the night? This transition time is the most confusing for the bodies – probably why so many people get sick.

    I really love trains! This looks like an older locomotive that is coal powered – the newer trains just don't have the same kind of artistic look to them in my opinion.

    Welcome to Episode 624 – Good April Fools Easter Monday!

    This is a pre-recorded show, didn't realize that Easter Monday fell on April Fools – i was kind of looking forward to reviewing some prankster plugins on the actual day of Loki – guess I will have to do that at a later date and be a little late to the party this year. Hopefully everyone is doing the fam-damly thing and enjoying some good grub! Personally I will be cooking at the time this is released for our fam-damly get together. 🙂

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.

Original Oracle ,

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.

Shadow-Allan ,

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.
