Did you know that HeroPress has stuff you can download? For a while now we’ve had a plugin available, but this evening I posted some cool wallpapers. I made them about a year ago, but had them only on my personal site. Now they’re available on this site as well. I’m interested to know if…
10 winners from across the globe! Congratulations to all, read the whole post to find out who won!
When HeroPress started I didn’t plan on having contributors from western Europe, any more than the U.S. As it turns out, we ended up with lots of people from both places. I’d still love to get people from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Ireland. If you know anyone in those places with a great WordPress story,…
Tomorrow is the last day to apply for the The Up and Running Scholarship, from HeroPress and WPShout! Once the entry time is closed then we’ll package up the submissions and send them to the judging panel. NO SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED after 23:59:59 UTC 09 May. If you’ve been waiting to apply, don’t wait…
The Up and Running Scholarship has been open for 10 days now, with 9 more to go! We’ve gotten many applications, from all of the world. I’ve been really pleased with the diversity of the applicants.

For the first time ever, HeroPress is taking part in offering a scholarship! The good folks over at WPShout are soon releasing some great new WordPress training material called Up and Running. As part of that release they’d like to offer ten copies for free to those who fit the application qualifications. How do I…
If you post the Monday after a holiday weekend, is it still part of the weekend? Of course it is! This week’s Geography collection is from Central and South America, and I’m stretching a bit and including one from the Caribbean. I hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave comments! A Minority Amongst…
This week’s HeroPress geography is from Oceania. I’d love more people from that area, so if you know anyone who would be good for HeroPress, please encourage them to fill out the contributor form. Actually, WordPress didn’t change my life. It All Begins With a Thought When Life Throws You a Curveball, WordPress is There…
For a while now I’ve been thinking about how to best leverage older content on HeroPress. People who’ve been a fan of HeroPress for a year now have missed an entire year of essays. Also, older content gets very little traffic, and there’s some really great stuff in there. One idea I came up with…
