Yoast’s WordPress SEO to offer commercial support and bonus features

ByBrian Krogsgard Posted on Updated on

Joost de Valk announced that his insanely popular WordPress SEO plugin is soon going to have commercial support options. He’s going to charge $89 / year for a single site, or $349 / year for unlimited sites for support. I’ve never needed support for his plugin, but I know the .org forums are full of posts about it. Hopefully this will be a scalable option for those people to get help. He also teases in the post that the commercial plugin will have, “some other functionality that’s not included in the SEO plugin.” This, of course, is the most interesting aspect of his announcement. I use his plugin on every site, so I’m curious to see what I’d gain from the commercial version.

Welcome to the small leagues: On WordPress and journalism

A friend and former coworker of mine really likes the word “webmaster”. Because it’s a hilarious word. It suggests that this person has control over the web in general, which is pretty pretentious. However, traditional webmasters have long had a place in the workplace. Today, I stumbled upon a conversation between Marc Andreesson, of the…
