Automattic acquired what is probably the most popular third party WordPress publishing app, Poster. Tom Witkin, Poster’s developer, is joining Automattic to work on the official WordPress mobile apps. There’s a little more info on Mac Stories, TechCrunch and WP Daily, if you’re interested. I enjoy using the WordPress for iOS app, and am keen to have custom fields, which Poster had. It’d make approving articles on Post Status easier. So, yay!

I heard about Pantheon for the first time last year, when it was a Drupal-only platform. When Pantheon…

Ashley Rich compares Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, and AWS for hosting WordPress sites way you might with SpinupWP or ServerPilot and their forthcoming HostLaunch platform. Digital Ocean won the matchup, but all three platforms were are pretty close, and the data collected is worth a look. 🏆

  1. I don’t really find the current WordPress iOS app useful for posting anything. Sure it has a place when it comes to moderating comments and viewing stats, but writing? I’ve always found that it messes with my Markdown and is there custom field support now?
