Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel and the Git version control system, revealed that he prefers to work alone, in his bathrobe, in total silence. Although he heads up one of the largest open source projects in the world, with 1,000 contributors involved in every bimonthly release, Torvalds claims he is not a people person.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I did not start Linux as a collaborative project,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;I started it as one in a series of many projects I had done at the time for myself, partly because I needed the end result, but even more because I just enjoyed programming.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Torvalds said that open source wasn&#8217;t really on his radar at all. As Linux grew, it became something he wanted to show off to people and he made it publicly available. It wasn&#8217;t even open source at that point, which was mainly called &#8220;free software&#8221; back then. He had no intention of using open source to improve his project. He simply invited comments on his project and, to his amazement, people took interest in the code and started contributing ideas.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Every project before that had been completely personal, and it was a revelation when people just started commenting, started giving feedback on your code,&#8221; Torvalds said.</p>\n<p>As the Linux project grew, thousands of people wanted to contribute. Torvalds said that it reached a breaking point where he knew he couldn&#8217;t scale it to work with that many people without having some kind of version control system in place.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So git is my second project, which was only created for me to maintain my first project,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And this is literally how I work. I do code for fun, but I want to code for something meaningful. Every single project that I&#8217;ve ever done has been for something I needed.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Ironically, for someone who professes not to be a people person, Torvalds revolutionized collaborative development for teams and projects with Git. He said that he has often been in conflict with other people and can be &#8220;myopic when it comes to other people&#8217;s feelings.&#8221; Open source gave him a way to work effectively with other people:</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the things I really like about open source is it allows different people to work together. We don&#8217;t have to like each other, and sometimes we really don&#8217;t like each other. There are very, very heated arguments. You don&#8217;t even agree to disagree &#8211; it&#8217;s just that you&#8217;re interested in different things. </p>\n<p>Coming back to the point that I said earlier, that I was afraid of commercial people taking advantage of your work &#8211; It very quickly turned out that those commercial people were lovely people. And they did all the things that I was not at all interested in doing and they had completely different goals. And they used open source in ways that I just did not want to go. But because it was open source they could do it and it actually works really beautifully together.</p></blockquote>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about his story is that he first embraced open source out of practicality, not because of ideological convictions.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Without doing the whole open-source-and-really-letting-go thing, Linux would never have been what it is,&#8221; Torvalds said. Even so, he said he doesn&#8217;t necessarily think the principle can be applied to other aspects of life beyond code without a lot of grey areas.</p>\n<p>Despite having changed the future by creating technology that powers the internet, Torvalds does not consider himself a visionary.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not a visionary,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do not have a five year plan. I&#8217;m an engineer. I&#8217;m perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around staring at the clouds and looking at the stars and saying, &#8216;I want to go there.&#8217; But I&#8217;m looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole that&#8217;s right in front of me before I fall in.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Check out the 21-minute interview in the video below:</p>\n<p></p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 19 Apr 2016 05:05:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:16;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.6 Development Kicks Off This Week, Dominik Schilling to Lead Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53759\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:99:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-6-development-kicks-off-this-week-dominik-schilling-to-lead-release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4254:\"<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg?resize=960%2C511\" alt=\"photo credit: Angelina Litvin\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53775\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/JLXDNN5BNE\">Angelina Litvin</a>\n<p>As soon as WordPress 4.5 was out the door, WordPress 4.6 release lead Dominik Schilling opened up the floor for <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/04/14/wordpress-4-6-whats-on-your-wish-list/\" target=\"_blank\">discussion on wish list items</a> ahead of the kickoff chat on Wednesday.

As a <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative</a>, Sucuri joins <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic</a> as one of the first companies to fully automate free SSL Certificates for all customers. The company has also enabled the new HTTP/2 protocol by default, which offers significant performance advantages compared to raw HTTPS.</p>\n<p>Unlike WordPress.com, which <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/https/\" target=\"_blank\">does not allow users to disable encryption</a>, Sucuri offers a &#8220;No HTTPS&#8221; option which will force all traffic to be redirected to HTTP. Customers can also select from partial SSL, full SSL, and Custom SSL (where they can use their own certificates).</p>\n<p>Despite their sponsorship of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, Sucuri&#8217;s founders emphasized that SSL support is not a magic wand that instantly makes your website secure, since it only protects information transferred between the browser and web server.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though we are providing SSL certificates to all our clients, we don’t subscribe to the idea that every website needs HTTPS enabled,&#8221; Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said. &#8220;The idea that this makes for a more secure web is inaccurate.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cid and co-founder Tony Perez share a perspective tempered by years of experience fixing hacked websites. The majority of compromises come through brute force attacks, software vulnerabilities, and DDOS attacks.</p>\n<p>In a post titled <a href=\"https://perezbox.com/2015/07/https-does-not-secure-your-website/\" target=\"_blank\">HTTPS Does Not Secure Your Website</a>, Sucuri CEO Tony Perez identified three general instances where SSL is essential: when transferring personal identifiable information, transaction data in e-commerce, and other sensitive data. Outside of these scenarios, HTTPS is not as critical.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no doubt that HTTPS will continue to grow in popularity,&#8221; Perez said. &#8220;What I take exception to is when technology professionals say that one of the driving factors for HTTPS is it’ll secure your website, because it won’t.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Sucuri only recommends HTTPS for customers who are already taking security seriously and want to add protection for data in transit. The company suggests putting more basic security measures in place first &#8211; keeping your software updated, implementing intrusion detection, getting code reviews, and storing passwords securely.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 18 Apr 2016 04:21:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"Post Status: WordPress 4.5 — Draft Podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=23435\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"https://poststatus.com/wordpress-4-5-draft-podcast/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2142:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

The plugin has more than a million active installations and is critical for migrations, unless you are familiar with using more advanced tools. With years of unresolved support threads identifying the plugin&#8217;s many bugs, the importer is in need of some help.</p>\n<p>In a volunteer-driven open source community, important projects like the WordPress importer can go neglected for a long time until someone gets inspired to take on the responsibility. The good news, however, is that the importer is in the process of being completely rewritten thanks to Ryan McCue, who is also a leader on the WP REST API project.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Importer Redux</a> project is available on GitHub with fixes for some of the previous plugin&#8217;s most troublesome issues. McCue is rewriting the importer with the goals of making it &#8220;fast, lightweight, and consistent.&#8221; He summarized the major improvements that are part of version 2 in a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> on Make/WordPress core blog:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Way less memory usage:</strong> Testing shows memory usage to import a 41MB WXR file is down from 132MB to 19MB (less than half the actual file size!). This means no more splitting files just to get them to import.</li>\n<li><strong>Faster parser:</strong> By using a streaming XML parser, we process data as we go, which is much more scalable than the current approach. Content can begin being imported as soon as the file is read, rather than waiting for pre-processing.</li>\n<li><strong>Resumable parsing:</strong> By storing more in the database instead of variables, we can quit and resume imports on-the-go.</li>\n<li><strong>Partial imports:</strong> Rethinking the deduplication approach allows better partial imports, such as when you’re updating a production site from staging.\n</li>\n<li><strong>Better CLI:</strong> Treating the CLI as a first-class citizen means a better experience for those doing imports on a daily basis, and better code quality and reusability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Until recently, the new importer had no UI, so the only way to test it was to run it via WP-CLI. A new <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/tree/admin-ui\" target=\"_blank\">Admin UI branch</a> of the project is now available so you can <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/archive/master.zip\" target=\"_blank\">download the plugin as a zip</a> and activate it inside WordPress. McCue tweeted a sneak peak at the progress bar for the import summary:</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New WordPress Importer UI, coming soon. <a href=\"https://t.co/wM6cZY6BSk\">pic.twitter.com/wM6cZY6BSk</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan McCue ⍨ (@rmccue) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/717610812236410880\">April 6, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>He is also <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/719454867543076864\" target=\"_blank\">working on a better user mapping UI for the importer</a>.

Some users thought <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14\">their sites were hacked</a> after noticing the menu label changed and seeing a bright green menu icon.</p>\n<p>Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, along with Chris Christoff, lead developer of the MonsterInsights plugin, immediately responded to criticism in the forums. One of the biggest complaints from users was the lack of communication that the plugin changed hands.</p>\n<p>Christoff admits that the plugin&#8217;s changelog should have included information about the switch.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I thought I had included information about the acquisition in the changelog, but I apparently didn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s totally on me, and I can certainly understand why people might be a bit upset over that.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Complaints about the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14#post-8277576\">bright menu icon</a> were addressed with a recent update that lowers its opacity to be more in line with other icons. Even though the bright green is gone, the icon is still noticeable. Here&#8217;s what it looks like.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53708\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png?resize=149%2C240\" alt=\"New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\" /></a>New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\n<p>The menu label was also renamed from MonsterInsights to Insights. Not only is it shorter, it&#8217;s more in line with the plugin&#8217;s functionality. Its placement within the admin menu was also fixed as it no longer shows up near the top of the list.</p>\n<p>Another concern brought up by users are the four display ads on the plugin&#8217;s dashboard page. While some users thought these were new, they&#8217;ve always existed in the free plugin. Instead of advertising Joost de Valk&#8217;s products, they now advertise four complimentary products affiliated with Balkhi.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53709\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png?resize=1025%2C596\" alt=\"Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\" /></a>Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\n<p>Within the last 24 hours, the plugin has received a number of enhancements based on user feedback.

Peter is a web developer from the Land of the Danes. He is the creator of <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-pusher-aims-to-provide-pain-free-deployment-of-wordpress-themes-and-plugins-from-github\" target=\"_blank\">WP Pusher</a> and a huge travel addict, bringing his work along with him as he goes.<br />\n&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you run a typical WordPress agency, I will be bold enough to say this: Your WordPress team is probably not working as a team. Ouch!</p>\n<p>Developer productivity and workflow strategies are my passions. I try to talk to every WordPress developer I meet about how they work and what problems they face. If you ever used WP Pusher, signed up for one of my crash courses on Git, or if for any other reason I have your email address, there is a good chance that I have talked to you about this as well. I have spoken with hundreds of WordPress freelancers and agencies in order to get insights about how they work. You will be surprised to hear how many WordPress agencies are working as small one-person teams, instead of actually working together. The reason for this is a lack of some of the most basic enablers of teamwork.</p>\n<p>Here are 3 things that will make it very obvious to me that your WordPress team is probably not as much of a team as you would like to think:</p>\n<h2>1. Lack of version control</h2>\n<p>Did you read this headline thinking &#8220;Great, we&#8217;re committing everything to Bitbucket already, so we&#8217;re fine&#8221;? To be honest: Having an account on Bitbucket and pushing all your code there is not enough.</p>\n<p>Git is not just about backing up your code on Bitbucket or GitHub. It is one of the most basic collaboration tools for your developers. Git gives them the freedom to collaborate on the projects they work on, but only if used in a certain way. If the commit log is a big mess of huge commits with meaningless commit messages, it won&#8217;t be very helpful to the rest of the team.</p>\n<p>However, if a commit represents a small, isolated change and a commit message is well-written and concise, suddenly Git becomes a tool that your team can use to stay on top of what everyone else is working on. In teamwork, communication is key and Git is a great way for your team to communicate what is going on within the different code bases they are working on.</p>\n<h2>2. Lack of a code collaboration platform</h2>\n<p>The main reason to use a code collaboration platform like GitHub or Bitbucket is not to have a backup of your code. Dropbox would probably be easier to use in that case.</p>\n<p>GitHub in particular is a great place for code collaboration. The way pull requests are implemented on GitHub makes reviewing code very enjoyable. Pull requests are a way for your developers to act as a team, by helping each other out with knowledge sharing and feedback. By opening a pull request early in the process of building a new feature, you can invite your co workers to follow your progress and chip in with their knowledge. I have written in detail about pull requests on the WP Pusher blog if you want to learn more.</p>\n<p>Of course, GitHub is also a great place to see the current status of your team spirit. Are people sharing their work and asking for feedback? What are they getting it in return? Are people helping each other out? Are they working as a team?</p>\n<p>The culture is important as well. Giving each other feedback needs to be the norm. Using pull requests and having a list of well-written commit messages on GitHub is the first step, but the culture needs to be embraced as well. Asking for help should be rewarded and not frowned upon.</p>\n<h2>3. Lack of a deployment strategy</h2>\n<p>How are you going to review something that was edited live on a production site? The truth is, you are not.</p>\n<p>When your team is up and running with Git, a proper deployment strategy is a no brainer. It is the natural next step. If you do not have a proper strategy for your deployments, it tells me two things: 1. You are probably not using version control properly. 2. Your developers are manually uploading files over FTP &#8211; files that were never reviewed by any teammate.</p>\n<p>If you are using version control, having a deployment process that kicks in when code has been reviewed and is ready for production is easy. The lack of a deployment strategy is a very clear sign that something is missing in your processes.</p>\n<p>If you read this far and are realizing that your WordPress team is not really working as a team, here is my number one recommendation: Get every single technical person on your team on board with Git. Build a culture where communication and collaboration are the norm. In practice that means at least two things: First, when you look over the commit log on GitHub, you can actually see what happened and when. Second, when you go through the pull requests, the team spirit should be obvious from the way feedback is given and code reviews are done.</p>\n<p>My hope is that this post has convinced you that Git is more than just a backup tool.

Font Awesome introduced a new <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/icons/#accessibility\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility icon category</a> with 15 icons and more on the way.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility-icons.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility-icons.png?resize=1025%2C339\" alt=\"font-awesome-accessibility-icons\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53683\" /></a></p>\n<p>&#8220;We initially started with a set of common US disability access symbols, then expanded to others the FA community asked for,&#8221; Gandy said. &#8220;We’ll definitely keep adding to this category as more requests come in.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The Font Awesome documentation has also been updated with a new <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/accessibility/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility section</a>, showing users how to mark up icons so they work well for those using assistive technology to navigate websites and applications. Each icon page also has an updated example code block that users can copy and paste to ensure their icons are accessibility-ready.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-code-examples.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-code-examples.png?resize=1025%2C294\" alt=\"font-awesome-code-examples\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53688\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress plugin and theme authors who include Font Awesome icons in their work should update the <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/get-started/#bootstrapcdn\" target=\"_blank\">CDN link</a> to reference the latest version so website owners can use the new accessibility icons.

Users who are looking for a caching solution that simply works and has nothing to configure should check out <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a>, a new plugin on WordPress.org that offers a one-click install. The plugin promises lightning fast speed with a simple on/off switch.</p>\n<p>After investigating some of the <a href=\"https://taylorlovett.com/2016/03/25/wordpress-caching-plugin-comparison/\" target=\"_blank\">popular caching solutions for WordPress</a>, Taylor Lovett found most of them to have cluttered interfaces that make them unnecessarily complex to configure. Lovett, who has worked with many different caching solutions as Director of Web Engineering at <a href=\"http://10up.com/\" target=\"_blank\">10up</a>, decided to create his own implementation that would be easy for users to work with, hence the name Simple Cache.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I wrote my comparison blog post with no plans of creating my own caching plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;After doing the research, I had a few ideas on how to create a plugin that would really have a positive impact on websites.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Once installed, Simple Cache can be turned on with the click of a button. It also has a few optional settings for expiring the cache and enabling compression. The simple mode offers file-based page caching (similar to WP Super Cache), which is sufficient to speed up the vast majority of simple sites.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png?resize=1025%2C472\" alt=\"simple-cache-settings\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53661\" /></a></p>\n<p>Lovett also built an advanced mode that implements object caching and will automatically setup <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/\" target=\"_blank\">Batcache</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/\" target=\"_blank\">Memcached</a>/<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/\" target=\"_blank\">Redis</a> for you.</p>\n<p>After a quick test in simple mode on a blog with a handful of plugins like Akismet, Jetpack, Google Analytics, and a few others, I saw a roughly 38% decrease in loading time. Before installing Simple Cache, the site loaded in 3.9 seconds.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C257\" alt=\"Before installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53666\" /></a>Before installing Simple Cache\n<p>Simple Cache shaved 1.5 seconds off the loading time:</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C255\" alt=\"After installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53665\" /></a>After installing Simple Cache\n<p>These results came without touching the advanced mode, which would offer an even bigger performance boost.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The Redis functionality is forked from Pantheon’s WP Redis plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;The Memcached functionality is forked from Automattic’s drop-in. If you use page caching with object caching, a forked version of Batcache by Automattic is used.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If there is no object cache set up, page caching defaults to using the file system (simple mode). This is most likely what you would use if your site is on shared hosting.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So really Simple Cache gives you the best of both worlds,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;A very simple setup, or an advanced setup with the most battle-tested page cache and object cache drop-ins.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Users can easily purge the cache from the button on the plugin&#8217;s setting screen. If you try Simple Cache and don&#8217;t want to keep using it, it&#8217;s easy to uninstall, cleans up after itself, and, most importantly, doesn&#8217;t break your website. Lovett also worked to ensure that the UX, notices, warnings, and error messages are user friendly and understandable.</p>\n<p>The whole concept of caching is difficult for non-developers to grasp. It might as well be powered by Merlin&#8217;s wand, as far as most users&#8217; understanding goes. They need it to work without a ton of complicated settings. Simple Cache fits the bill and is hands-down the easiest caching plugin I&#8217;ve ever tested.</p>\n<p>Lovett plans to add more features and improve upon his implementation based on feedback from the community. If you&#8217;re looking for a new caching solution, you can find <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a> on WordPress.org.

That&#8217;s because Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">has acquired it</a> for an undisclosed amount and has renamed it to <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/\">MonsterInsights</a>.</p>\n<p>Joost de Valk, founder of Yoast.com, <a href=\"https://yoast.com/new-home-google-analytics-plugins/\">says</a> the company is focusing on its core offerings surrounding SEO and that the plugin no longer fits into its roadmap.</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the &#8216;problems&#8217; of a quickly growing business is that you have to choose what to focus on. We’ve made that choice: we’ll focus on building best in class SEO products, from plugins to reviews, eBooks and training programs.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Apart from the changes to its name and the new menu icon, the plugin remains the same and should function normally for existing users. <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">According to Balkhi</a>, additional features are on the way.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the next 8 months, we will be adding some amazing new features that I know you will love. Since it’s a plugin that we will be using across our suite of products and websites, you can expect it to be the best.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Since Google Analytics for WordPress was the first major plugin created by de Valk, handing it over to a new owner is bittersweet.</p>\n<blockquote><p>While I’m very happy about the decision to give this plugin a new home, I’m also feeling nostalgic. It’s been &#8216;with me&#8217; for a very long time, but I trust Syed and team will take it to even greater heights.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The acquisition seems like a perfect complement to Balkhi&#8217;s other products like <a href=\"http://www.optinmonster.com/\">OptinMonster</a> and <a href=\"http://www.wpforms.com/\">WPForms</a> where analytical data helps make crucial decisions.

The initiative, which aims to encrypt 100% of the web by making trusted certificates available to everyone at no cost, launched its beta seven months ago.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Since our beta began in September 2015 we’ve issued more than 1.7 million certificates for more than 3.8 million websites. We’ve gained tremendous operational experience and confidence in our systems. The beta label is simply not necessary any more.\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>According to Let&#8217;s Encrypt sponsor <a href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2016/04/12/mozilla-supported-lets-encrypt-goes-out-of-beta/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla</a>, more than 90% of the certificates are protecting websites that never had encryption before. Automattic is one of the early sponsors of the initiative and has partnered with Let&#8217;s Encrypt to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">add full SSL support for all sites hosted on WordPress.com</a>. With the success of the beta period, Let&#8217;s Encrypt continues to renew and add sponsors to its roster, including Cisco, Akamai, Gemalto, HP Enterprise, Fastly, and other organizations.</p>\n<p>“A mix of people and organizations use Let’s Encrypt,&#8221; Mozilla representatives told TechCrunch. &#8220;Many individuals and smaller entities use it, but quite a few larger organizations such as WordPress.com, OVH, Akamai and Dreamhost use it as well. It’s especially nice to see services like Dreamhost and Automattic opting to secure all their customers at once, which is something that Let’s Encrypt really enables.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>How to Set Up a Let&#8217;s Encrypt Certificate for Self-Hosted WordPress</h3>\n<p>If you want to install a free Let&#8217;s Encrypt certificate for your self-hosted WordPress site, <a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-free-ssl-in-wordpress-with-lets-encrypt/\" target=\"_blank\">WPBeginner has a tutorial</a> with instructions for commonly used hosts, including SiteGround, DreamHost, and Bluehost. It also includes tips on updating WordPress URLs after setting up SSL and updating Google Analytics.</p>\n<p>If your host doesn&#8217;t have a fancy UI for setting up Let&#8217;s Encrypt, Brad Touesnard wrote a <a href=\"https://deliciousbrains.com/http2-https-lets-encrypt-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">tutorial</a> for manually requesting a certificate via Let&#8217;s Encrypt&#8217;s command line client and setting up automatic renewals. Touesnard also encouraged readers to support the development of the <a href=\"https://github.com/tollmanz/lets-encrypt-wp\" target=\"_blank\">Let’s Encrypt Plugin for WordPress</a>, a project that Zack Tollman and John Blackbourn are working on to make it a less painful process for users.

Today however, the company pushed <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\">Edit Flow</a> 0.8.1 to the WordPress plugin directory which is the same version that&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">on GitHub</a>. According to the plugin&#8217;s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/changelog/\">changelog</a>, 0.8.1 includes the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New German localization</li>\n<li>New Spanish localization</li>\n<li>Performance improvements for the calendar, custom statuses, and editorial metadata</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Show &#8220;(no title)&#8221; on the calendar when a post doesn&#8217;t have a title</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Persist the future date position of a post on the calendar when a post is updated</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So why the sudden surge in activity? Philip John, VIP Wrangler for Automattic, stopped by and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comment-164215\">provided the following statement</a> to the Tavern.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Folks, we’re sorry that it looks as though we’ve abandoned Edit Flow. We certainly haven’t, and we should have at least updated the tested tag for the plugin as you rightly point out.</p>\n<p>We’ve done that today, as well as make sure GitHub and WordPress.org are in sync.</p>\n<p>Internally I’m working on an effort to make Automattic better at maintaining our own plugins. We want to avoid this situation as much as we can, and I promise we’re trying.</p>\n<p>Thank you for calling us out on this. Let’s see what we can all do about getting some attention for Edit Flow.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This is welcome news to anyone who depends on the editorial workflow options provided by the plugin. While Edit Flow is a WordPress.com VIP project, the team is open to contributions from the community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to give folks a better structure for contributing and build confidence that their contributions will go somewhere,&#8221; Paul Maiorana, VP at Automattic who helps run WordPress.com VIP said.</p>\n<p>Now that the team is rectifying the situation, <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comments\">those who showed interest</a> in continuing its development are highly encouraged to submit pull requests or open new issues on the <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">project&#8217;s GitHub page</a>.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:11:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"WPTavern: WordPress.com Adds Sharing Buttons for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53592\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-adds-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4431:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png?resize=1025%2C452\" alt=\"messaging-buttons\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53595\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress.com is finally adding sharing buttons for some of the world&#8217;s most widely used messaging apps. Users can now <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/new-on-wordpress-com-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype/\" target=\"_blank\">add WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype to the lineup</a> by editing the sharing buttons for their sites.</p>\n<p>Private groups and messaging are rapidly overtaking social networking. This was the driving factor behind Facebook&#8217;s purchase of WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion, an acquisition that lodged the company even deeper into its users&#8217; pocket communications. The app now has <a href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/1/10889534/whats-app-1-billion-users-facebook-mark-zuckerberg\" target=\"_blank\">more than a billion users</a>, which you would be foolish to ignore when presenting options for sharing your posts.</p>\n<p>As of February 2016, Telegram <a href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/23/encrypted-messaging-app-telegram-hits-100m-monthly-active-users-350k-new-users-each-day/\" target=\"_blank\">reported 100 million monthly active users</a>, with 350,000 new users signing up every day. The app delivers 15 billion messages daily. Skype has an estimated 300 million users.</p>\n<p>These &#8220;Dark Social&#8221; streams of traffic, which cannot be tracked by traditional analytics, are now dominating social sharing. This includes sources like emails, instant messages, and forum posts. According to a <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">research poll of 9,000+ consumers conducted by RadiumOne</a>, dark social sharing accounts for 69% of all sharing worldwide. That percentage is even higher in Europe and Australia.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png?resize=1025%2C524\" alt=\"credit: RadiumOne\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53608\" /></a>credit: <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">RadiumOne</a>\n<p>The survey also found that 32% of people who share content online will only share via dark social channels. This type of direct sharing to friends, family, and colleagues often carries more weight than tweets or Facebook posts broadcasted to the masses.</p>\n<p>Most messaging apps are not limited to one-to-one sharing; users often share to large groups curated for a specific purpose or interest, such as poker buddies, mom friends, extended family, or work friends. The ability for users to easily share blog posts or even e-commerce products to dark social channels is crucial for exposure to these networks that are not diluted by algorithms and advertising.</p>\n<p>With user bases in the hundreds of millions to billions, messaging applications are channels that publishers can no longer afford to ignore. Hopefully the team at Automattic will prioritize making these buttons available to Jetpack users on self-hosted sites in the near future. Until then, you can add <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/new-plugin-adds-a-whatsapp-button-to-jetpacks-sharing-module\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp</a> and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/add-telegram-to-jetpack-sharing-buttons\" target=\"_blank\">Telegram</a> sharing buttons to Jetpack using a couple of existing plugins created by Brazilian WordPress developer Valerio Souza.</p>\n<p>If everyone were to agree on <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/2015/08/time-to-ditch-texting/\" target=\"_blank\">a universal messaging app</a> we could reduce the number of sharing buttons that clutter the ends of posts. Since that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, now might be a good time to find out what apps your readers are using so you can reevaluate your lineup of sharing buttons for additions and/or removals.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 20:37:36 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:30;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"WPTavern: Mendel Kurland Interviews Konstantin Obenland at WordCamp London, 2016\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53604\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:89:\"http://wptavern.com/mendel-kurland-interviews-konstantin-obenland-at-wordcamp-london-2016\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:650:\"<p><a href=\"https://mendel.me/\">Mendel Kurland, </a>GoDaddy’s evangelist who participates in a number of open source communities published a great interview with Automattic employee, <a title=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it\" href=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it/\">Konstantin Obenland</a>.</p>\n<p>In the interview, Obenland describes how he got involved with WordPress, what motivated him to learn PHP, and what it&#8217;s like living the dream.

The <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-day-of-rest-conference-successful-81-would-attend-again\" target=\"_blank\">first edition</a>, held in London in January, was a success, with the majority of participants indicating they would attend again. Last month, <a href=\"https://hmn.md/\" target=\"_blank\">Human Made</a> announced that the organization team is planning an expanded <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-week-of-rest-wordpress-rest-api-developer-bootcamp-coming-to-the-uk-late-2016\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Week of REST&#8221; developer bootcamp</a> to be held in London later in 2016.</p>\n<p>Today the team <a href=\"https://hmn.md/2016/04/12/announcing-a-day-of-rest-boston-workshops/\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> its third planned event for this year &#8211; A Day of REST in Boston, MA, on October 28. Human Made will be hosting the event in partnership with <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Post Status</a> and the team at <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bocoup</a>. This edition of the conference will include workshops on the 27th and the 29th to educate attendees on how to use some of the most popular frontend technologies for building applications with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>Human Made representative Petya Raykovska said that Bocoup being located in Boston was one of the main reasons for hosting the event there, since they wanted to partner together for the workshops. Prospective attendees were also eager for a US-based event where they could go in-depth with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We never planned to do the event only in Europe,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;We had a lot of people asking for live streaming or if we’re planning to organize an event in the US while we were planning A Day of REST London. It was always the plan to pilot the idea in the UK and then bring it to the US and other places.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Organizers are planning for 300+ attendees in Boston. In addition to a lineup of speakers that includes WP REST API team members and experts, the event will put out a call for papers to give developers who are using the API an opportunity to share their work and tips.</p>\n<p>If you want to attend one of the frontend workshops, make sure to fill out the event&#8217;s <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b8RlgPxD7JaeKVgNErsbxS7vCe_9LMQLAvVaekHiFlY/viewform?c=0&w=1\" target=\"_blank\">survey</a> to indicate the topics you&#8217;re interested in.

The WordPress.com VIP team took over development and in some cases, <a href=\"https://vip.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/atlantic-medias-quartz/\">uses it on client sites</a>.</p>\n<p>If you visit the plugin&#8217;s page today, you&#8217;ll see the following notice:</p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"plugin-notice-banner-msg\">This plugin <strong>hasn’t been updated in over 2 years</strong>.

For more than a year, concerned users have created threads in the support forum questioning if the project has been abandoned.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assume-that-edit-flow-has-been-abandoned\">Assume that Edit Flow has been abandoned</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/abandoned-23\">Abandoned?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-edit-flow-been-discontinued\">Has Edit Flow been discontinued?</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>A user who goes by the name drtarnaizoltan who has used Edit Flow for more than two years even <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fundraising-for-continuation\">suggested</a> a crowdfunding campaign to continue development.</p>\n<blockquote><p>We have an online magazine, and started to use this plugin almost 2 years ago.

What is your opinion about?</p></blockquote>\n<p>The most <a href=\"https://github.com/automattic/Edit-Flow\">recent commit</a> to the project&#8217;s GitHub page is from Bachhuber six months ago. All of the communication channels used by Edit Flow developers to inform users are dormant. It&#8217;s ironic that a company that <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/automattic-no-email-no-office-workers-2013-11\">relies on so many tools to communicate internally</a> has <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-little-communication-goes-a-long-way\">failed to communicate</a> with users of its plugin. This is a classic example where a little communication about the project&#8217;s status would go a long way.</p>\n<p>Edit Flow is an important plugin that we use on the Tavern and as a user, I understand the frustration of not knowing what&#8217;s going on. The lack of updates, and inability to fix a critical bug <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow/issues/267\">I reported a year ago</a> that conflicts with WordPress mobile apps is forcing us to consider alternatives.</p>\n<p>I reached out to Automattic to find out whether or not Edit Flow is still an active project. Mark Armstrong, who represents Automattic provided the Tavern with the following statement:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Edit Flow is a plugin we maintain, and a number of WordPress.com VIP clients use it. We have no other updates in the works at this time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While his statement verifies that it&#8217;s an active project, all signs point to it being an abandoned plugin for those not part of the WordPress.com VIP program.</p>\n<p>Have you ditched Edit Flow?

It&#8217;s named, as always, after a famous jazz musician, and this release is named after <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, a saxophonist.</p>\n<p>The Release Lead for WordPress 4.5 was <a href=\"https://getsource.net/\">Mike Schroder</a>, the Deputy Release Lead was <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/adamsilverstein\">Adam Silverstein</a>, and the Release Design lead was <a href=\"https://choycedesign.com/\">Mel Choyce</a>, with 277 total contributors.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video overview of WordPress 4.5:</p>\n<p><br />\n</p>\n<p>You can view all <a href=\"https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=4.5\">closed tickets for WordPress 4.5</a>, and view an evolving overview of changes on the <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.5\">4.5 Codex page</a> as well. I thought I would also highlight some of the most notable features (in my view) as well.</p>\n<h3>Custom logo</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23381\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/logo-core-752x270.png\" alt=\"logo-core\" width=\"752\" height=\"270\" /></p>\n<p>The site icon feature was released in WordPress 4.3, and for some folks, the introduction of a custom logo component was confusing. However, eventually, the user experience issues were ironed out and WordPress 4.5 boasts the ability to add logos with core support, and themes <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/10/custom-logo/\">can support the feature</a> with <code>add_theme_support( \'custom-logo\' )</code>.</p>\n<p>Custom logo support is a nice addition that was pretty well tested in Jetpack already. There were way too many custom implementations of this out in the wild before, and now changing themes and keeping your logo will be much more straightforward.</p>\n<h3>Editing shortcuts</h3>\n<div class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement(\'video\');</script><![endif]-->\n<a href=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4\">https://poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4</a></div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Editing shortcuts is my personal favorite change in WordPress 4.5 because it adds the ability to use inline text patterns for quickly writing lists, horizontal rules, and code. These are some of the most annoying TinyMCE buttons to use or HTML markdown bits to write, so this is definitely be a nice enhancement to the WordPress editor.</p>\n<p>The editing shortcuts from this release and the past few releases are some of my favorite updates for everyday WordPress writers.</p>\n<h3>Inline link editor</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23383\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-2.11.43-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-04-12 at 2.11.43 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" /></p>\n<p>The inline link editor is the second of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/28/the-editor-in-wordpress-4-5/\">two significant editor changes</a> in WordPress 4.5, to utilize a tooltip-style overlay for adding links, versus a modal dialogue.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a relatively minor UX change, and I personally prefer just highlighting the text to add a link to and using a keyboard paste command, but for folks using the traditional link button, this offers a less obtrusive experience.</p>\n<h3></h3>\n<h3>Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">selective refresh feature plugin</a> for the customizer aimed to create a better customizer experience. <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\">Weston Ruter summarized the feature on Make Core</a>, and describes its functionality in depth. He also hints at what it makes possible.</p>\n<p>Currently, <code>postMessage</code> enables live changes, but saving those changes requires a full page reload. <code>postMessage</code> doesn’t do any server side communication. Selective refresh enables server side communication (aka allows for actual saving of changes) and the ability to view changes without a full page reload.</p>\n<p>The code that is now a framework for selective refreshing started with the move of nav menus and widgets to the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>With the shipped example of selective refresh of nav menus in the Customizer, and an initial implementation of selective refresh for widgets, work progressed to generalize a selective framework that would support the complicated examples of nav menus and widgets, but also to support simpler use cases such as letting the server render the updated site title so that <code>wptexturize</code> and other filters can apply. The generalized framework has been implemented in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">Customize Partial Refresh</a> feature plugin, which also re-implements selective refresh of nav menus and introduces selective refresh of sidebars and widgets.</p></blockquote>\n<p>However, Weston buried the lede for what makes Selective Refresh awesome.</p>\n<p>As he notes toward the end of the post on Make WordPress Core, the selective refresh component doesn’t just allow for site changes within the customizer, but for customizer controls to be called from the site.</p>\n<p>It’s worth describing what partials are in this context, for those (like me) that aren’t into the nitty gritty of the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>This plugin introduces a selective refresh framework which centers around the concept of the <strong>partial</strong>. A partial is conceptually very similar to a Customizer control. Both controls and partials are associated with one or more settings. Whereas a control appears in the pane, the partial lives in the preview. The fields in a control update automatically to reflect the values of its associated settings, and a partial refreshes in the preview when one of its settings is changed.</p></blockquote>\n<p>And…</p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition to a partial being associated with one or more settings, a partial is also registered with a jQuery selector which identifies the partial’s locations or “<strong>placements</strong>” on the page, where the rendered content appears.</p></blockquote>\n<p>With selective refresh, an interface could be created within placements themselves to give focus on the associated control; but the whole customizer isn’t required, and just the control that’s needed can pop out. As Weston put it, “That is to say, selective refresh makes the Customizer a much better framework for implementing <strong>frontend editing</strong>.”</p>\n<p>And that, in addition to selective refresh itself, is awesome.</p>\n<h3>Better image compression</h3>\n<p>By default, WordPress has always compressed images upon upload. By making a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/22/proposal-increase-the-default-image-compression-in-wordpress/\">small change in the compression percentage</a>, from 90% to 82%, WordPress can enable, &#8220;reduced image sizes by an average of ~25%.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Additionally, unnecessary meta data in photos is removed automatically by WordPress, while still maintaining the meta data <a href=\"https://photowebo.com/wordpress-4-5-image-compression-metadata/\">photographers actually use</a>. So all in all, images in WordPress can be cut in size by half without losing detail, and that&#8217;s amazing.</p>\n<h3>Log in by email</h3>\n<p>This has long been a desire for WordPress installs, and there have been plugins to help accomplish it, but now it&#8217;s in core as it should be.</p>\n<p>Quite simply, users can now log in via their username, or their active email address. Thank goodness &#8212; this is a nice UX enhancement.</p>\n<h3>Of course there are more</h3>\n<p>These are the features I wanted to note, but there are many others, as always, that took a lot of effort and greatly improve WordPress core. Others to consider are responsive customizer views; core library updates for Backbone, jQuery, and others; and oEmbed template management (which is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/11/embeds-changes-in-wordpress-4-5/\">really slickly done</a>).</p>\n<p>For more information, be sure to see the developer <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/30/wordpress-4-5-field-guide/\">field guide</a> for WordPress 4.5, as well as a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2016/04/4-5-omg-wtf-post/\">4.5 support guide</a>, and the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman\">official release post</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 12 Apr 2016 19:27:33 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Brian Krogsgard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:35;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:121:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.5 “Coleman” Released, Introduces Custom Logos, Responsive Previews, Improved Editing Experience\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53467\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:122:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-coleman-released-introduces-custom-logos-responsive-previews-improved-editing-experience\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7256:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg?resize=1025%2C550\" alt=\"photo credit: BBC Radio\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53560\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl2hx\" target=\"_blank\">BBC Radio</a>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress 4.5</a> was released today, named in honor of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\" target=\"_blank\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, an American jazz tenor saxophonist. Hawkins was one of the first musicians to establish the tenor saxophone as a jazz horn. Compared to other major releases, this one is short on show-stopping features but keeps WordPress on the path of steady, incremental improvements.</p>\n<p>Most of the updates for users focus on making WordPress content easier to format, edit, and customize. Here are a few of the highlights.</p>\n<h3>Custom Logos: Native Support for a Theme Logo</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 introduces <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-to-introduce-native-support-for-a-theme-logo\" target=\"_blank\">native support for a theme logo</a> with code borrowed from Jetpack&#8217;s implementation. When a theme declares support for a custom logo, an upload form is added under the Site Identity panel of the customizer.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png?resize=1025%2C748\" alt=\"Image credit: Ryan Boren\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51779\" /></a>Image credit: <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/flow/2016/02/19/customize-site-logo-and-icon-33755-5-diff-iphone-6/\">Ryan Boren</a>\n<p>This feature is a big win for theme developers, as they now have a standard way of including support for a logo. When they opt to follow core&#8217;s implementation, users will always know where to find the logo upload.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the hundreds of themes with their own implementation, it makes sense that core would standardize this,&#8221; said WordPress Theme Review Team admin Justin Tadlock. &#8220;The concept has been well tested for years in themes (and Jetpack). It’s a natural progression that core would get it, just like core standardized post classes, body classes, featured images, and other features that started out in the theme space. There’s an obvious need for it.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Customizer Improvements: Live Responsive Previews and Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\" target=\"_blank\">Selective refresh</a> is one of the under-the-hood updates to the customizer that makes a big difference for users. It makes previews more instant, instead of reloading the entire preview for each setting change. This is a much needed improvement that gives the customizer the true live preview experience that it was previously lacking.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<p>&#8220;Selective refresh is a hybrid preview mechanism that has the performance benefit of not having to refresh the entire preview window,&#8221; Customizer component maintainer Weston Ruter said. &#8220;This was previously available with JS-applied postMessage previews, but selective refresh also improves the accuracy of the previewed change while reducing the amount of code you have to write; it also makes it possible to do performant previews that would previously been practically impossible.&#8221;</p>\n<p>After updating your site to 4.5, you can see a live example of selective refresh when editing menus. All core themes and core widgets now support selective refresh and users should see major performance improvements.</p>\n<p>This release also makes it easier for users to customize their sites with mobile devices in mind. It adds buttons to the customizer controls footer that enable desktop, tablet, and phone-sized device previews. Instead of having to test the site on different devices, users can see a live preview of how the design will respond while making changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif?resize=1025%2C537\" alt=\"customize-device-preview\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51464\" /></a></p>\n<h3>Improvements to Formatting and Editing Content</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 adds <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-adds-inline-editing-to-the-links-modal\" target=\"_blank\">a more intuitive interface for editing inline links</a> in the visual editor. The interface detects if a user is entering a URL or attempting to search for one. The updated search uses jQuery UI Autocomplete to populate existing content as the user is typing.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/links-modal.gif\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/links-modal.gif?resize=838%2C496\" alt=\"links-modal\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52178\" /></a></p>\n<p>This release also adds more formatting shortcuts to the existing ones for lists and headings. You can now use shortcuts for horizontal lines and code tags.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/formatting-shortcuts.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/formatting-shortcuts.png?resize=1000%2C600\" alt=\"formatting-shortcuts\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53494\" /></a></p>\n<p>Developers who utilize the REST API infrastructure will want to take note of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/04/06/rest-api-slashed-data-in-wordpress-4-4-and-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">a breaking change in this release</a> that could potentially cause issues with plugins that depend on the API. The changes break backwards compatibility for the sake of fixing a bug regarding slashed data.</p>\n<p>Other noteworthy updates include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-improves-comment-moderation-screens\" target=\"_blank\">Improvements to comment moderation screen</a> with visual enhancements and a maximum length for comment form fields </li>\n<li>Performance enhancements for images: Increased compression makes images <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/12/performance-improvements-for-images-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">load up to 50% faster</a> with no noticeable quality loss</li>\n<li>Enhanced script loader: Better support for script header/footer dependencies, new <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/08/enhanced-script-loader-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">wp_add_inline_script()</a> enables adding extra code to registered scripts</li>\n<li>Better embed templates: these are now split into parts and can be customized by themes using the template hierarchy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The 4.5 release was led by Mike Schroder and deputies Mel Choyce and Adam Silverstein. Schroder coordinated the efforts of 286 volunteers who contributed to WordPress 4.5.

The new API allows developers to easily build applications that fetch the wapuus with their images and details:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: xml; light: true; title: ; notranslate\">\n[\n  {\n    \"name\": \"original-wapuupng\",\n    \"wapuu\": {\n      \"name\": \"Wapuu\",\n      \"url\": \"https://ja.wordpress.org/\",\n      \"repository\": \"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu\",\n      \"src\": \"https://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/wapuu-archive/original-wapuu.png\",\n      \"mime_type\": \"image/png\"\n    },\n    \"author\": {\n      \"name\": \"Kazuko Kaneuchi\",\n      \"url\": \"https://twitter.com/mutsuking\"\n    },\n    \"description\": \"Original Wapuu\"\n  },\n  ...\n</pre>\n<p>Miyauchi said he is looking forward to seeing applications, well-designed galleries, and games that the community will build with it. The <a href=\"http://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/\" target=\"_blank\">official Wapuu archive</a> is already using the new Wapuu API.</p>\n<p>Miyauchi also built a <a href=\"http://spacewapuu.com/\" target=\"_blank\">space Wapuu gallery</a> with it based on <a href=\"http://threejs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">THREE.js</a>, a library that makes WebGL (3D in the browser) easy to use. The gallery works well in <a href=\"https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Cardboard</a> to deliver a fun VR-type experience of the flying wapuus.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif?resize=1025%2C479\" alt=\"space-wapuu\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53535\" /></a></p>\n<p>Miyauchi is part of the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/community-translation-and-wapuu-how-japan-is-shaping-wordpress-history\" target=\"_blank\">vibrant WordPress community in Japan</a>, has three dozen <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/miyauchi/#content-plugins\" target=\"_blank\">plugins</a> to his credit on WordPress.org, and enjoys building projects with the WordPress REST API. He said that the REST API hasn&#8217;t yet caught on in Japan, but he has been working on tools to make it easier for developers to create applications. Miyauchi built a WP API client for <a href=\"https://angularjs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">AngularJS</a> and is also creating an <a href=\"https://github.com/miya0001/ionic-starter-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">Ionic starter template</a> for WordPress + the WP API version 2.</p>\n<p>After learning about how much work it is to maintain the official Wapuu archive page, Miyauchi was inspired to use his skills to create a JSON API for cataloguing the 80+ wapuus from around the world.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can update the wapuu&#8217;s data via a CSV file, maintaining the archive is much easier,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The API is converted from <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api/blob/master/wapuu.csv\" target=\"_blank\">a CSV of wapuus</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Miyauchi worked with <a href=\"https://twitter.com/tekapo\" target=\"_blank\">Taisuke Jotaki</a>, maintainer of the archive, and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/shinichin\" target=\"_blank\">Shinichi Nishikawa</a> to create the Wapuu API. If you want to add your wapuu to the archive, you can fork the <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api\" target=\"_blank\">Wapuu API repository</a>, add your wapuu information to the CSV, and send a pull request to the team.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 12 Apr 2016 17:18:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:37;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45:\"Post Status: A Day of REST is going to Boston\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=22279\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"https://poststatus.com/day-of-rest-boston/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3963:\"<p>I&#8217;m happy to announce that Post Status is teaming up with Human Made to put on <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">A Day of REST Boston</a>, following the <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/a-day-of-rest-review/\">successful event in London in January</a>. This iteration of A Day of REST will include both a day long conference and workshops catered to developers interested in using the WordPress REST API.</p>\n<p>Like in London, A Day of REST Boston will have speakers from the team that is actually building the API and using it in production environments. The main event will take place <strong>October 28th, 2016</strong> at Calderwood Pavilion. Workshops will be October 27th and October 29th.</p>\n<p><strong>Organizers:</strong> A Day of REST Boston is put together by experienced industry event organizers from <a href=\"https://hmn.md/\">Human Made</a> who have organized events like WordCamp London 2013 and 2015, WordCamp Europe 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and A Day of REST London. The primary folks from the Human Made team are Siobhan McKeown, Petya Raykovska, and Zoe Beardmore. And Post Status will be co-organizing!</p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:</strong> Like in London, members of the WordPress REST API team itself will be speaking and participating in the event. Also, industry experts and developers who are actually using the REST API in production will be there. We&#8217;ll have a call for speakers available soon as well, as we&#8217;re seeking new and exciting examples of the REST API out in the wild, and the stories of the folks that made it happen.</p>\n<h3>Workshops</h3>\n<p>One of the things I&#8217;m most excited about for the Boston-based version of this event is that there will be <em>two days of workshops</em> in addition to the event, rather than a hack day. It was clear in London that there was demand for more hands-on activities to allow people (new and experienced with the API) to dig deeper.</p>\n<p>Attendees will have the opportunity to attend front end workshops tailored to WordPress developers, covering everything from JavaScript basics to in-depth explorations of specific technologies. A Day of REST is partnering with <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\">Bocoup</a> (an incredible Boston based agency that loves open source technology), and perhaps a few other folks, to put on outstanding workshops.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the event and the workshops, please help us choose the most relevant and valuable workshop topics for you. <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b8RlgPxD7JaeKVgNErsbxS7vCe_9LMQLAvVaekHiFlY/viewform?c=0&w=1\">Fill out the workshop survey</a> to have your say on what should be included. One workshop day is before the main event, and the other is the day after.</p>\n<p>There will be a special limited batch of Early Bird tickets for the conference, but you have to be <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">subscribe for A Day of REST Boston email notifications</a>.</p>\n<h3>Post Status involvement</h3>\n<p>At A Day of REST London, I was a general media partner, covering the event and <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/resources/category/events/a-day-of-rest/\">I&#8217;m hosting the videos as we release them</a>. This time around, I&#8217;m a co-organizer.

One of the attendees who made its presence known the day of the event was a giant Wapuu. From left to right is WordPress co-creator Mike Little, Wapuu, and Jenny Wong.

This post is an assortment of items related to WordPress that caught my eye but didn’t make it into a full post.</p>\n<h2>Revolution Slider Possible Cause of Data Breach</h2>\n<p>Wordfence <a href=\"https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/04/mossack-fonseca-breach-vulnerable-slider-revolution/\">analyzed the Mossack Fonseca website</a> and discovered that it was running a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised\">vulnerable version</a> of Revolution Slider, a popular image slider plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to place a shell on the web server. Whether this is the point of entry for the data leak remains to be seen. While I enjoyed the article, <a href=\"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11449750\">some people on Hacker News</a> ripped it apart.</p>\n<h2>State of the Woo</h2>\n<p>The second annual <a href=\"https://wooconf.com/\">WooConf</a> took place this week where Matt Mullenweg gave the State of The Woo address. Marie Dodson of Torque has <a href=\"http://torquemag.io/2016/04/state-of-the-woo-2016/\">a great post</a> with highlights from his session. The biggest take away is that Automattic plans on releasing a Jetpack like plugin for WooCommerce to handle complicated tasks like payments, shipments, taxes, and more.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s incredible how many WooCommerce plugins are submitted to us for review. It seems like there&#8217;s a plugin that handles any nuance of WooCommerce you can think of. It&#8217;s turned into quite a cottage industry and one every product developer should consider getting into.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Importer Progress Bars</h2>\n<p>In addition to his work on the WordPress REST API, Ryan McCue is also <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\">leading the efforts</a> to improve the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress Importer</a>. A few days ago, he published an image on Twitter showing off status indicators. Click the play button to see the progress bars in action.</p>\n<p>This is a huge improvement considering it&#8217;s currently impossible to know the status of an import. What&#8217;s nice about this is that each item in the import file has its own progress bar. Also read the discussion on Twitter as the possibility of using this UI for other plugins like BuddyPress comes up.</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New WordPress Importer UI, coming soon. <a href=\"https://t.co/wM6cZY6BSk\">pic.twitter.com/wM6cZY6BSk</a></p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan McCue ⍨ (@rmccue) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rmccue/status/717610812236410880\">April 6, 2016</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<h2>WordPress 4.5 OMG WTF BBQ Post</h2>\n<p>Before every major WordPress release, the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/\">support team</a> publishes a post on the support forums that contains important information users and developers need to be aware of. The <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2016/04/4-5-omg-wtf-post/\">WordPress 4.5 edition</a> is available and is considered a work in progress. Once 4.5 is released, common issues reported by users are added to the thread like plugin and theme incompatibilities.</p>\n<h2>WP Lift is For Sale</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpliftlogo.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-10731 size-full\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpliftlogo.jpg?resize=131%2C58\" alt=\"WPLift.com Logo\" /></a><a href=\"http://wplift.com\">WPLift</a>, a site dedicated to WordPress created by Oli Dale is <a href=\"http://wplift.com/weekly-wordpress-news-wplift-sale\">up for sale</a>. According to the <a href=\"https://flippa.com/6291243-wplift-com\">listing on Flippa</a>, the bidding price has reached $55K. The auction has 13 bids with 19 days left. Dale explains why he&#8217;s selling the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Quite simply, I have been writing about WordPress now on WPLift since 2010 – I have posted just about every week day in that period and the site now contains over 990 posts, I have been finding it more of a struggle to keep up with running the site alongside ThemeFurnace and the addition of 2 children to my family! I would like someone fresh to takeover WPLift who can dedicate more time and fresh ideas to the site.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve linked to quite a few articles and discussions on the WPLift site. Whoever purchases the site, I hope they continue the great reputation that WPLift has established.</p>\n<h2>What Do Video Games and WordPress Development Have in Common?</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/JJJ\">John James Jacoby</a> published a great series of Tweets using video game images to relate to software development.

The video should help developers consider things they may have missed before submitting it to the directory.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<h2>A Small Woorld</h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">WooCommerce is a powerful force in the eCommerce industry and it&#8217;s reached a point where entire sites and magazines are devoted to the platform. One such digital magazine is <a href=\"https://smallwoorld.com/\">A Small Woorld</a>, a publication by the folks over at <a href=\"https://prospress.com/\">ProsPress</a>. Small Woorld features in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs using WooCommerce.<br />\n</span></p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ASmallWoorldFrontPage.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53454\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ASmallWoorldFrontPage.png?resize=913%2C742\" alt=\"A Small Woorld Front Page\" /></a>A Small Woorld Front Page\n<p>One of my <a href=\"https://smallwoorld.com/craft-beer-cheeky-kiwis-abroad-woocommerce-honest-brew-story/\">favorite interviews</a> from their latest issue involves <a href=\"http://honestbrew.co.uk/\">Honest Brew</a>, a company that utilizes WooCommerce to deliver craft beer to people all over the world.

For those who don&#8217;t know, Wapuu is the <a href=\"http://wapuu.jp/2015/12/12/wapuu-origins/\">unofficial mascot</a> of the WordPress project. This week, it&#8217;s 8-bit Wapuu by Melissa Sartor representing <a href=\"https://2016.sunshinecoast.wordcamp.org/2016/04/06/8-bit-wapuu/\">WordCamp Sunshine Coast</a> in Australia.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/EightBitWapuu.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53453\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/EightBitWapuu.png?resize=344%2C310\" alt=\"Eight Bit Wapuu\" /></a>Eight Bit Wapuu\n<p>That&#8217;s it for issue seven.

The network&#8217;s subdomains have been HTTPS-enabled <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-to-implement-ssl-for-all-subdomains-joins-the-fight-against-mass-surveillance\" target=\"_blank\">since 2014 as part of the Reset the Net campaign</a> against mass surveillance. Today Automattic expanded HTTPS coverage to more than one million custom domains hosted on the network.</p>\n<p>Last April the company joined Mozilla, Cisco, EFF and several other organizations to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-sponsors-lets-encrypt-initiative\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor Let&#8217;s Encrypt</a>, a new free certificate authority for the public. The project gave WordPress.com an automated way to roll out an SSL certificate to each custom domain it hosts. Users do not need to adjust any setting &#8211; encryption has been turned on automatically, which is indicated by a green lock in the browser&#8217;s address bar.</p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://www.eff.org/encrypt-the-web\" target=\"_blank\">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>, encryption offered via the new initiative will help users defend against surveillance of their content and communications, cookie theft, account hijacking, cookie and ad injection, and other forms of internet censorship.</p>\n<p>WordPress.com representatives said sites may see a performance boost and better Google rankings as a result of the switch to HTTPS. Two years ago Google <a href=\"https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> it would begin using HTTPS as a lightweight ranking signal as an incentive for website owners to switch to HTTPS. With the help of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, many of the technical barriers to adding encryption have been removed. WordPress.com&#8217;s move to provide free HTTPS for all customers helps make the web more secure as the network powers a large chunk of the world&#8217;s websites.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:23:46 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:41;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: Silk Lite: A Free WordPress Magazine Theme for Fashion Bloggers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53393\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"http://wptavern.com/silk-lite-a-free-wordpress-magazine-theme-for-fashion-bloggers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3807:\"<p>After six months in the theme review queue, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/silk-lite/\" target=\"_blank\">Silk Lite</a> was approved for the WordPress.org directory and also passed the extra requirements to be counted among the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility-ready themes</a>.

After three weeks of being in the system, here is what I experienced.</p>\n<h2>Stuck in Limbo</h2>\n<p>After configuring the plugin and successfully getting WP Tavern approved on Apple News, I thought that articles published on the site would automatically publish to Apple News. It didn&#8217;t work out that way, at least, not at first.</p>\n<p>When checking the status of those articles in the WordPress backend, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/publish-to-apple-news/\">Publish to Apple News</a> plugin listed articles as Pending. Apple&#8217;s News publisher also didn&#8217;t show any drafts from WordPress or published articles.</p>\n<p>Based on some Google searches, I created and published a new article within the Apple News Publisher app. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t show up as a published article and because it was the first one, it had to be approved by Apple News.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53379\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png?resize=635%2C310\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher First Submission\" /></a>Apple News Publisher First Submission\n<p>The first article published in Apple News was on March 21st. Between March 21st and March 31st, I was stuck in limbo. I had no idea when the article would be approved or at what point in the process I was in.</p>\n<p>With the lack of communication, I started troubleshooting the Publish to Apple News plugin thinking that something was wrong. In the plugin&#8217;s settings, there&#8217;s an option to turn debugging on which sends emails to a specified email address each time an article is published, updated, or deleted with a detailed API response.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53380\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png?resize=691%2C250\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher Debug Options\" /></a>Apple News Publisher Debug Options\n<p>I didn&#8217;t receive any emails when articles were published leading me to believe there was a potential communication issue between the Tavern and Apple News. A few days passed by when all of a sudden, I received two emails with debug information.</p>\n<p>I checked the <a href=\"https://apple.news/TQYQeeBHDRce_JL3U0PCWGw\">Tavern&#8217;s Apple News channel</a> and discovered that the first article I published using Apple&#8217;s publishing tool was approved. Had I not checked the channel, I wouldn&#8217;t have known that it was approved. I disabled debug mode in the Publish to Apple News plugin and noticed articles published on the Tavern after the approval appeared as expected.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53383\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png?resize=1025%2C757\" alt=\"Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\" /></a>Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\n<p>Apple should send an email notification when the first article is approved along with details that future articles will be published automatically.</p>\n<h2>What Articles Look Like in the Apple News App</h2>\n<p>I kept the default style settings provided by the Publish to Apple News plugin. As you can see, the articles don&#8217;t look that bad with the exception of the WordCamp Central article. For some reason, the image splits up the first sentence of the post. I&#8217;m looking into why this happens but I&#8217;ve seen it on other posts as well.</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8464\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8464.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8464\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8466\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8466.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8466\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8468\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8468.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8468\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8467\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8467.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8467\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8465\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8465.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8465\" /></a>\n\n<p>One thing I don&#8217;t like is that if an image is used at the beginning of an article, the Apple News App displays the HTML code of the image on the article listing page instead of article text. It would be more beneficial to readers if the listing page displayed text from the article and not HTML related to images.</p>\n<h2>Apple News Publisher Analytics</h2>\n<p>According to the analytics dashboard in Apple News Publisher, some of you have subscribed to our channel. The dashboard includes stats like, unique viewers, total views, article shares, and more.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53404\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png?resize=1025%2C728\" alt=\"Apple News Analytics\" /></a>Apple News Analytics\n<p>You can even dive into analytics on a per post level to determine why some articles do better than others. To view stats in a different program or to back them up, Apple News publisher allows you to download up to 30 days worth of data at once in CSV format.</p>\n<h2>The Experiment Continues</h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s not enough data to determine if publishing articles to Apple News is worth the effort. Three months from now, I&#8217;ll look at the data and publish a follow-up post with our findings. It will also include reviews from readers who are subscribed to our channel to find out what they like and dislike about consuming WP Tavern&#8217;s content through Apple News.</p>\n<p>Although the process could use some improvement, especially around communication, once the approval process is complete, the system runs automatically. Let us know in the comments what your experience has been like connecting your site to Apple News Publisher.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 03:51:40 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:44;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"WPTavern: AffiliateWP Passes 30K in Monthly Revenue After 2 Years in Business\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53352\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:87:\"http://wptavern.com/affiliatewp-passes-30k-in-monthly-revenue-after-2-years-in-business\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4968:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/affiliatewp.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/affiliatewp.png?resize=1025%2C463\" alt=\"affiliatewp\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53362\" /></a></p>\n<p>The team behind <a href=\"https://affiliatewp.com/\" target=\"_blank\">AffiliateWP</a> is <a href=\"https://pippinsplugins.com/affiliatewp-two-years-later/\" target=\"_blank\">celebrating its second anniversary today</a>. The plugin and its suite of add-ons has rapidly become one of the most successful products in the WordPress ecosystem under the leadership of Pippin Williamson and his team.</p>\n<p>Williamson, who is known for his yearly transparency reports, shared that AffiliateWP was the fastest of his products to reach $100,000 in annual revenue. It took just nine months for the plugin to reach that goal and in 2015 it passed $30,000 in monthly revenue.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Our first month to break $30,000 was April, 2015, when we brought in $32,904.90,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;Since then, we have had only 3 months that were below 30, and they were only just barely below the 30 mark.&#8221;</p>\n<p>They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and this was certainly the case with the creation of AffiliateWP. Williamson said that his customers were always asking for recommendations on affiliate plugins but at the time his team could not confidently recommend any of the existing solutions. They found most to be &#8220;unreliable, unpleasant to use, and generally not a good fit.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;After a particularly painful support ticket where it was discovered that one of our customers had paid (or not paid) thousands of dollars to the wrong people due to a bug in their affiliate tracking plugin, we decided to do something about it,&#8221; Williamson said.</p>\n<p>He worked in his spare time and late at night to develop AffiliateWP while supporting EDD and Restrict Content Pro during business hours. The product&#8217;s revenue now supports a full-time team of six people.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It humbles me to think that my little side project could go from an after-hours project to providing for the full time jobs of an entire team,&#8221; Williamson said.</p>\n<h3>AffiliateWP&#8217;s Business Model Helped it Grow Faster than EDD</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Easy Digital Downloads</a>, Williamson&#8217;s first venture, is touted as having pioneered one of the most wildly successful business models in the WordPress ecosystem, but AffiliateWP was not built on the same model. EDD offers a free base plugin with commercial add-ons available a la carte. AffiliateWP does not have an official free product and is not directly supported by commercial extensions.</p>\n<p>Pricing for the product <a href=\"https://affiliatewp.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\">starts at $49 and ranges up to $449</a>, with different packages that include varying levels of support and Professional add-ons.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Utilizing this business model is without any doubt one of reasons AffiliateWP accelerated at the rate it did,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;This model has not only been lucrative for us, I personally think it’s superior in many ways to other models common throughout the WordPress ecosystem.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I like it enough that we recently chose to migrate Restrict Content Pro to the same model,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If I had the opportunity to start over with Easy Digital Downloads, I would almost certainly opt to use the same model there as well instead of selling each add-on individually.&#8221;</p>\n<p>AffiliateWP&#8217;s total revenue for 2015 was $379,078 and Williamson projects that figure to be in the neighborhood of $420,000-$450,000 for 2016.</p>\n<p>The fact that <a href=\"https://github.com/AffiliateWP/AffiliateWP\" target=\"_blank\">AffiliateWP is also available for free on GitHub</a> has not compromised the product&#8217;s success. In fact, Williamson believes it has only enhanced it. The open source plugin has received contributions from 49 different developers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a stat I’m particularly proud of considering AffiliateWP is a commercial product, a category of WordPress plugins that tends to get very little development from anyone outside of the core development team of the product,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;We chose to make AffiliateWP 100% open on GitHub with a public repository specifically to help facilitate contributions from other developers. I believe firmly that this was a good decision that has worked out quite well for us.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Williamson&#8217;s transparency about his plugin revenue serves as an inspiration to other entrepreneurs in the commercial plugin space. AffiliateWP&#8217;s success is an example of what&#8217;s possible in the WordPress product space with hard work, high quality code, and the right team.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:34:21 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:45;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:64:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 229 – VersionPress Goes Open Source\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"http://wptavern.com?p=53277&preview_id=53277\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-229-versionpress-goes-open-source\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3127:\"<p>In this episode of WordPress Weekly, <a href=\"http://marcuscouch.com/\">Marcus Couch</a> and I discuss the news of the week, including a big move for VersionPress as it transitions into an open source project.

The 2015 event had commemorative stickers printed along with a Wapuunk-embroidered scarf for attendees. Shortly thereafter, nearly every WordCamp organization team began designing their own custom wapuu mascots.</p>\n<p>WordCamp London 2016 will take place this weekend at the London Metropolitan University.

UK-based designers <a href=\"http://gemmagarner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gemma Garner</a> and <a href=\"http://scott.ee/\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Evans</a> collaborated on the R2-D2-inspired wapuu and printed a small batch of 100 stickers.

It is clear that Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm that protected the assets of the rich and powerful by setting up shell companies, had employed a dangerously loose policy towards web security and communications.</p>\n<p>The firm ran its unencrypted emails through an outdated (2009) version of <a href=\"https://owa.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft&#8217;s Outlook Web Access</a>. Outdated open source software running the frontend of the firm&#8217;s websites is also now suspected to have provided a vector for the compromise.</p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/articles/56febff0a1bb8d3c3495adf4/\" target=\"_blank\">initial communications</a> with German newspaper the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), an anonymous source offered the data with a few conditions, saying that his/her life was in danger.</p>\n<p>&#8220;How much data are we talking about?&#8221; the SZ asked.</p>\n<p>&#8220;More than anything you have ever seen,&#8221; the source said.</p>\n<p>The Panama Papers breach is the largest data leak in history by a wide margin, with 2.6 terabytes of data, 11.5 million documents, and more than 214,000 shell companies exposed.</p>\n<p>Forbes has <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2016/04/05/panama-papers-amazon-encryption-epic-leak/#83ff3901df59\" target=\"_blank\">identified outdated WordPress and Drupal installations</a> as security holes that may have led to the data leak.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Forbes discovered the firm ran a three-month-old version of WordPress for its <a href=\"http://www.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">main site</a>, known to contain some vulnerabilities, but more worrisome was that, according to Internet records, its <a href=\"https://portal.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">portal</a> used by customers to access sensitive data was most likely run on a three-year-old version of Drupal, 7.23.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This information is partially inaccurate, however. While looking at the site today, I found that the firm&#8217;s WordPress-powered site is currently running on version 4.1 (released in December 2014), based on <a href=\"http://mossfon.com/wp-includes/js/autosave.js\" target=\"_blank\">its version of autosave.js</a>, which is identical to the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.1-branch/wp-includes/js/autosave.js\" target=\"_blank\">autosave.js file shipped in 4.1</a>. Since that time WordPress has had numerous critical security updates.</p>\n<p>The main site is also loading a number of outdated scripts and plugins. Its active theme is <a href=\"http://www.mossfon.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/css/style.css\" target=\"_blank\">a three-year-old version of Twenty Eleven (1.5)</a>, which oddly resides in a directory labeled for /twentyten/.</p>\n<p>The Mossack Fonseca client portal <a href=\"https://portal.mossfon.com/CHANGELOG.txt\" target=\"_blank\">changelog.txt</a> file is public, showing that its Drupal installation hasn&#8217;t been updated for three years. Since the release of version 7.23, the software has received <a href=\"https://www.cvedetails.com/version/156577/Drupal-Drupal-7.23.html\" target=\"_blank\">25 security updates</a>, which means that the version it is running includes <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/PSA-2014-003\" target=\"_blank\">highly critical known vulnerabilities</a> that could have given the hacker access to the server. This includes a <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2014-005\" target=\"_blank\">2014 SQL injection vulnerability</a> known in the Drupal community as &#8220;Drupalgeddon,&#8221; which affected every site running Drupal 7.31 or below.</p>\n<p>Investigators have not confirmed if the open source software vulnerabilities were used to access the data, but it is certainly plausible given the severity of the vulnerabilities in both older versions of WordPress and Drupal.</p>\n<p>&#8220;They seem to have been caught in a time warp,&#8221;  Professor Alan Woodward, a computer security expert from Surrey University, told <a href=\"http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-04/06/panama-papers-mossack-fonseca-website-security-problems\" target=\"_blank\">WIRED UK</a>. &#8220;If I were a client of theirs I&#8217;d be very concerned that they were communicating using such outdated technology.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If these open source software vulnerabilities provided the access point for this massive leak, then this company&#8217;s global fiasco was entirely preventable. Although many people welcome the uncovering of corruption and dirty money transactions of famous people and world leaders, the reality is that these kinds of exploits can also be carried out on well-meaning organizations that exist to protect people&#8217;s health records, financial data, and other sensitive information.</p>\n<p>This leak is not a measure of open source software&#8217;s reliability but rather underscores how low a priority some companies place on their tech departments and web security. With the rampant software vulnerabilities in this age, not updating software for years constitutes abject neglect of customers.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that software needs to be updated. This kind of routine maintenance is as foundational to a company&#8217;s business as brushing teeth or showering is for one&#8217;s health. Law firms and companies with such a lax approach to security are either ignorant or unwilling to spend the money to maintain technology that they don&#8217;t fully understand. The Panama Papers serve as a reminder that having a competent, skilled tech department is critical for any company that deals in sensitive information.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 06 Apr 2016 19:35:14 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:48;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"WPTavern: VersionPress Transitions Into a Free Open Source Project\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53260\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"http://wptavern.com/versionpress-transitions-into-a-free-open-source-project\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4228:\"<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/VersionPressFeaturedImage.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-24643\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/VersionPressFeaturedImage.png?resize=650%2C200\" alt=\"Version Control Featured Image\" /></a>Version Control Featured Image\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/borekb\">Borek Bernard</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/JanVoracek\">Jan Voráček</a>, creators of <a href=\"http://versionpress.net/\">VersionPress</a>, <a href=\"https://blog.versionpress.net/2016/04/going-open-source/\">announced</a> that they&#8217;re transitioning the plugin into a free, open source project hosted <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/versionpress\">on GitHub</a>. In addition, they are releasing VersionPress 3.0 Beta, the first version released under the new model.</p>\n<h2>Open Source Is the Way Forward</h2>\n<p>In a post on the product&#8217;s site, Bernard explains that the only way for the project to be successful is to open up development to the public.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Towards the end of 2015, we started feeling it was the right time to convert the project to a fully open-sourced one,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The project started to be in good shape – had a clear direction set, most of the technical groundwork was laid, and we moved to GitHub. While we had most of WordPress core covered pretty well, there was still this huge ecosystem of WordPress plugins and themes that could cause trouble to VersionPress in millions of different ways.</p>\n<p>&#8220;In the long run, the project <em>had to</em> turn into OSS should it be successful, and fortunately, in 2015, we met investors who understood this and supported our vision,&#8221; Bernard said.</p>\n<p>The transition involved quite a bit of work migrating from Bitbucket and JIRA to GitHub. Old Wiki documents and other assets were migrated as well. In addition to the migration, old issues were translated to English and <a href=\"http://danielbachhuber.com/\">Daniel Bachhuber</a>, who maintains the <a href=\"http://wp-cli.org/\">WP-CLI project</a> audited the code. The project&#8217;s website also received a facelift.</p>\n<p>By transitioning to a public development model, Bernard hopes to tap into new resources to solve challenging problems.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll need your bright minds to solve some of the more difficult issues later this year, like how to integrate with complex plugins with custom DB structures,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Despite being GPL licensed, free, and open source, the plugin will not be hosted in the WordPress plugin directory anytime soon.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It stays in the &#8216;Early Access&#8217; phase where it works well in certain scenarios but there are still many incompatible plugins, themes and hosts,&#8221; Bernard said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no magic solution to this, unfortunately, and more and more plugins and scenarios will be supported over time.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Early Access Program Discontinued</h2>\n<p>The Early Access Program, which provided initial funding to develop VersionPress beyond its crowdfunding campaign, is being discontinued.</p>\n<p>&#8220;EAP was of great help but couldn&#8217;t really fund the project, by far,&#8221; Bernard told the Tavern. While the team doesn&#8217;t have a replacement for the revenue provided by EAP, Bernard plans to build exceptional value around the core of VersionPress which he says will remain free forever.</p>\n<h2>How to Follow the Project</h2>\n<p>VersionPress 3.0 beta marks the first major release in more than five months. It includes <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/docs/blob/3.0-release-notes/content/en/09-release-notes/75-3.0.md\">bug fixes and a number of enhancements</a>. You can follow the project&#8217;s progress <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/versionpress\">on GitHub</a> where you can also <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/support\">receive support</a>, browse <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/docs\">documentation</a>, and find access to their <a href=\"https://gitter.im/versionpress/versionpress\">Gitter room</a> for real-time communication.

The page indicates a WordCamp&#8217;s city, applicant&#8217;s name, recent milestone, status, and the last time it was updated.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralStatusTracking.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53274\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralStatusTracking.png?resize=969%2C679\" alt=\"WordCamp Central Application Status Tracking\" /></a>WordCamp Central Application Status Tracking\n<p>The application status page is the result of efforts by Ian Dunn and Konstantin Kovshenin who are improving the sites and tools organizers use to coordinate events. On the Make WordPress Community blog, Andrea Middleton <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2016/04/05/a-new-way-to-track-the-status-of-wordcamp-applications/\">explains the changes</a> and what deputies can expect.</p>\n<p>Deputies are WordCamp Central volunteers who respond to WordCamp/meetup applications, conduct organizer orientations, and mentor organizers. They work behind the scenes to ensure events are run smoothly and adhere to the <a href=\"https://plan.wordcamp.org/become-an-organizer/representing-wordpress/\">WordPress Foundation&#8217;s guidelines</a>.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to see how WordPress is helping the team organize submissions and streamlining the process. According to Middleton, incoming applications automatically create draft listings on WordCamp Central and receive the status &#8220;Needs Vetting.&#8221;</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralApplicationProcess.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53273\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralApplicationProcess.png?resize=768%2C366\" alt=\"WordCamp Central Application Processing\" /></a>WordCamp Central Application Processing\n<p>As the team moves through the process of vetting, orientation, tools, budget reviews, etc, deputies make notes in the post editor which are attached to the application. The site makes use of custom post statuses which are applied based on the application&#8217;s progress. It also adds accountability by saving a change log to each WordCamp listing that indicates when the status is changed and who changed it.</p>\n<p>While this information is specific to those who work with WordCamp organizers, it provides a glimpse into the tools and processes volunteers use to coordinate events. It&#8217;s also a neat look into how handy <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status\">custom post statuses</a> are.</p>\n<p>With all of the improvements to the backend, WordCamp and event organizers should experience fewer delays in response times. If you&#8217;re a deputy or frequent browser of WordCamp Central and have a suggestion or request to improve the site, you can share it by <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2016/04/05/a-new-way-to-track-the-status-of-wordcamp-applications/\">leaving a comment on the announcement post</a>.</p>\n<p>By the way, community deputies are an excellent way to contribute to the WordPress project without knowing how to code. To learn more about what deputies do and how you can join the program, read the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/community-deputy-handbook/\">community deputy

href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/spend/shopping/how-to-achieve-financial-goals-with-your-spouse/\" target=\"_blank\">we introduced you to Shannon Jarrett, 37, and her partner Marcin Duran, 34</a>. They’re trying to track their money, come up with shared goals and cash in bad habits.  Throughout the year we’ll be giving them a financial challenge every month to help them get her finances in tip top shape. Make sure to follow along! Their last challenge had them hunkering down for a money date and <a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/save/budgeting/what-are-our-money-goals-and-can-we-reach-them/\" target=\"_blank\">things got real</a>.</p>\n<h3><strong>Challenge No. 2<br />\n</strong></h3>\n<p>Shannon and Marcin’s second challenge was to do some research to figure out if rolling their $26,000 in personal debt into their mortgage was a good option for them. If so, could Shannon and Marcin agree on making personal debt repayment a priority? And could they agree on an amount that both Marcin and Shannon would contribute to this? We asked <a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/approved\" target=\"_blank\">MoneySense Approved</a> financial advisor Rona Birenbaum to have a half-hour phone conversation with the two to see if they could reach an agreement. Here&#8217;s their story.</p>\n<p><strong>Shannon and Marcin&#8217;s experience (as told by Shannon)</strong></p>\n<p>It was great speaking to advisor Rona Birenbaum. Both Marcin and I took turns speaking with her by phone and she was able to see how Marcin and I are on the same team—we just have totally different views on money.</p>\n<p>My own research seemed to indicate that our bank wouldn&#8217;t roll our debt into the mortgage, but Rona told us about an option called a &#8216;blend and extend mortgage.&#8217; This was really helpful and both Marcin and I are happy with this plan. We have an appointment with our bank to hopefully get it all set up immediately.</p>\n<p>Rona spoke to Marcin and—like I&#8217;ve been doing for years—tried to understand where all his disposable income goes. Rona was able to get Marcin to see that the system he had set up had him paying all of his bills out of one pay check so that the second pay cheque (besides paying the mortgage) he could keep to spend as he liked. Obviously, this is a horrible money habit. If you have $1000 you will spend $1000, if you have $5 you will spend $5, right?</p>\n<p>So, when we go to the bank in the next few days we will also be setting up our first joint bank account. Every second paycheque of Marcin&#8217;s will have about $400 come out of his pay and deposited into the joint account. This set-it-and-forget-it approach will give us a savings account for home repairs, trips, new cars, and whatever else life may throw at us. Since Marcin is great with paying bills, Rona got him to think of this $400 payment to the joint account as just another bill, a bill that comes due every month, comes right out of his account, no muss to fuss. I will also contribute but since I&#8217;m with a different bank I will not be able to have automatic payments made for me. However, as I&#8217;m a huge saver anyhow, I know paying my share into the account won&#8217;t be a problem.</p>\n<p>It was so very helpful to talk to Rona, advice I would have paid for if I knew a financial advisor was going to understand us so well. She helped us understand our different approaches to money and how those money habits stemmed from our very different childhoods. My family was pretty well-off, but when my dad passed away when I was young, my mother—who had no financial sense—was left to manage the money. Quickly, all of the money my dad had saved disappeared. I was on my own at age 14 and struggling to support myself. And that is where my mindset was formed when it comes to how I view money. I save, save, save and do everything possible to avoid debt. I lived a life knowing that at any moment your income can disappear.</p>\n<p>Marcin, on the other hand, comes from a family who had always struggled. As immigrants from Poland, they worked very hard to earn money. Marcin has the mindset that money comes and goes&#8230;but it will always come. That is why he doesn&#8217;t pay attention to where his money goes&#8230;he knows a paycheque is on the way. One great thing about Marcin is that he is great with paying bills, especially if it&#8217;s a direct payment from his account to the bill—no work required on his end.</p>\n<p>Although I always realized this about Marcin, I didn&#8217;t know how to work with it. Advisor Rona Birenbaum&#8217;s idea of having him make a direct payment into a joint account was eye-opening. We can still keep our money separate. As you can see, from what I watched my mother go through when I was growing up, it&#8217;s extremely important to me to have control and knowledge of my money. Rona&#8217;s idea of having Marcin make a direct payment right into a joint account is amazing for us. We can still keep our money separate but now, instead of wondering what happens with Marcin&#8217;s money, I will see the $400 monthly in our joint savings account and not worry. I know that for me—a huge saver and big money worrier—this will alleviate a lot of stress.</p>\n<p>Yes, we will follow her advice, yes it was helpful and yes we learned a lot of new things.</p>\n<h3><strong>What the expert says</strong></h3>\n<p>First off, certified financial planner Rona Birenbaum learned that Shannon and Marcin are very aligned on family and financial priorities and goals. &#8220;Where they differ is in how they <em>understand</em> and <em>manage</em> money,&#8221; says Birenbaum. &#8220;Marcin can save when he has a short-term goal. Otherwise, he spends what is in his bank account after he knows all automatic bills have been paid.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Birenbaum&#8217;s advice to the couple was to go back to the bank and consolidate the line of credit with the mortgage by asking for a &#8220;blend and extend&#8221; option. That means that Marcin establishes an automatic monthly &#8220;bill&#8221; of $400 per month that goes to a jointly owned, high-interest savings account. He can then spend whatever is left in his bank account after that. &#8220;The accumulated savings is not &#8216;fun money,\'&#8221; says Birenbaum. &#8220;It is for family expenses that occur in a lumpy fashion. For example, house repaid, vacations, activities with the kids.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Shannon and Marcin will speak to the bank about both steps above and let me know what the outcome is.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/planning/fix-your-money-problems-and-get-moneyfit/\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-143076\" src=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Join-the-MoneyFit-club-300x268.png\" alt=\"Join the MoneyFit club\" width=\"175\" height=\"156\" /></a></p>\n<p>Undergo your own financial makeover!

a library card can get you more than just books on loan. While the hallowed halls of your local library may lead you to the latest bestseller, certain locations may also offer you a key to the city.</p>\n<p>Many libraries across the country loan special passes to card-holders giving them free access to city attractions, such as museums and zoos.</p>\n<p>Snagging one of these passes at your local library could save a family of four more than $100 on a single outing, not to mention create lasting memories.</p>\n<h2>Vancouver</h2>\n<p>Library card-holders in Vancouver can check out the <a href=\"http://pwp.vpl.ca/inspirationpass/\" target=\"_blank\">Vancouver Inspiration Pass</a> for two weeks at a time and unlike in some other cities, it can be used more than once. Not only does the pass give access to museums and galleries, but it also lets holders use various fitness centres across the city. The pass can be used by a mixture of four adults or children under 18, or four young people between the ages of 14 and 18.</p>\n<p>With the Vancouver Inspiration Pass, you can visit more than 20 city attractions, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Beaty Biodiversity Museum</li>\n<li>Museum of Vancouver</li>\n<li>Vancouver Aquarium</li>\n<li>Vancouver Symphony Orchestra</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Cost for a family of four to visit the Vancouver Aquarium without the pass: $108</p>\n<h2>Toronto</h2>\n<p>If you live in Toronto, drop by your local Toronto Public Library branch to see if you can get a <a href=\"http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/museum-arts-passes/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Sun Life Financial Museum + Arts Pass</a>. With a valid adult library card, you can borrow a pass over a seven-day period to use at one attraction. Each pass admits one family or two adults and up to four children.</p>\n<p>You can’t renew or reserve passes and because there is a limited quantity, they’re available on a first-come first-served basis or are chosen by a draw at select branch locations.</p>\n<p>With the Sun Life Financial Museum + Arts Pass, you have the option of visiting more than 15 city attractions, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Art Gallery of Ontario</li>\n<li>Aga Khan Museum</li>\n<li>Royal Ontario Museum</li>\n<li>Toronto Zoo</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Tip: You can check online which branches require a draw to choose who gets a pass. It’s likely these locations have more contenders for passes, so if possible, try to find alternate branches to pick up from for a better chance.</p>\n<p>Cost for a family of four to visit the Toronto Zoo without the pass: $92</p>\n<h2>Calgary</h2>\n<p>The Calgary Public Library has a similar pass to Toronto but it’s available to fewer people. The <a href=\"https://calgarylibrary.ca/news/sun-life-financial-arts-culture-pass/\" target=\"_blank\">Sun Life Financial Arts + Culture Pass</a> is available to anyone with both a valid library card and a City of Calgary Recreation Fee Assistance card for low-income citizens.

The passes are available at the beginning of each month and are handed out on a first-come-first-served basis for anyone with a library card in good standing (meaning there is no unpaid balance exceeding $15). Card-holders can check out the pass twice a year. The passes are only available at seven branches so check out which one is closest to you. And remember, some are not available in the summer.</p>\n<p>With the Theatre + Arts Pass, you can catch shows at the following venues:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Le Cercle Molière</li>\n<li>Manitoba Theatre for Young People</li>\n<li>Shakespeare in the Ruins</li>\n<li>Royal Winnipeg Ballet</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Cost for a family of four to see a show at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet without the pass: $180</p>\n<h2>Hamilton, Ont.</h2>\n<p>The Hamilton Public Library offers free <a href=\"http://www.hpl.ca/articles/museum-passes\" target=\"_blank\">family passes</a> that let users visit historic museums and sites.

seen a lot of press lately on crowdfunded real estate investments. I&#8217;m wondering if this is a good way to invest in real estate if I don&#8217;t want to be a hands-on landlord?</p>\n<p><em>— Curious about crowdfunding, Winnipeg, MB</em></p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong><strong>Answer from Romana King, senior editor and real estate specialist at <em>MoneySense</em></strong>: </strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to invest in brick and mortar properties but don’t like the idea of being a hands-on landlord? Want investment returns on your real estate investment, but don’t like the almost-like-equities style of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) and <a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/columns/mics-make-money-on-debt/\" target=\"_blank\">Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs)</a>? Consider real estate crowdfunding. </span></p>\n<p>Over the last couple of years, real estate based crowdfunding sites—like RealtyMogul.com, Plentyofmoose.com, NexusCrowd.com, PatchofLand.com, DwellXchange.com and most recently Sharestates.com—have sprung up. All operate under the same basic premise: use technology to help individual and institutional investors to buy equity in various types of real estate holdings. On the flipside, these crowdfunding sites also help real estate owners (such as developers, property managers and even everyday homeowners) to raise equity for their property or projects.</p>\n<p>It’s a model that’s really taken off. For example, in 2014, the Palm Springs Hard Rock Hotel used a real estate crowdfunding platform to raise US$1.5 million to refinance and renovate the property. The minimum investment was US$10,000, and this buy-in enabled individuals to become equity owners in the hotel with each investor receiving a package of VIP guest perks.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/spend/real-estate/when-to-invest-in-a-syndicated-mortgage/\">When to invest in a syndicated mortgage » </a></p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"http://www.massolution.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Massolution report</a>, crowdfunding investments in real estate is poised to grow. In 2014, the entire sector raised over US$1 billion in real estate financing. The invested funds in this space were expected to hit US$34.4 billion worldwide by the end of 2015.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_152550\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-152550\" src=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-12.46.37-PM.png\" alt=\"(Crowdfunderinsider.com)\" width=\"560\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-12.46.37-PM-300x188.png 300w, http://www.moneysense.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-12.46.37-PM.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Crowdfunderinsider.com)</p></div>\n<p>Up until now, most of these real estate crowdfunding platforms were open only to <a href=\"http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/21943.htm\" target=\"_blank\">accredited investors</a>—individuals or couples with at least $1 million in financial assets, or those with consistent incomes of $200,000 or more each year ($300,000, if a couple). Still, other sites were restricted only to American investors.</p>\n<p>But there are options for Canadian investors. One platform for everyday, retail investors (like you and me) is American-based <a href=\"http://www.dwellxchange.com\" target=\"_blank\">DwellXchange.com</a>, a site that specializes in offering investors equity positions on individual, owner-occupied homes. In other words, you become a passive investor in somebody else’s home or real estate property, with the expectation that when the owner sells, your investment is returned to you, along with a percentage of the profit made from selling the home once it appreciated.</p>\n<p>Yes. There are a lot of assumptions with this type of investment. There’s the assumption that the homeowner will sell, eventually. There’s also the assumption that the property will increase in value, eventually. Finally, there’s the assumption that other investors are only too happy to buy your equity portion in the property. As you can imagine these limitations can actually lock your money into this real estate investment, creating liquidity issues. This lack of liquidity is actually the reason why Dwellxchange launched its secondary selling market—an online portal that allows crowdfunding real estate investors to buy and sell their equity portions minus a 25 basis point fee.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, another couple of options for Canadians are <a href=\"http://www.nexuscrowd.com/team.html\" target=\"_blank\">NexusCrowd.com</a> and <a href=\"https://sharestates.com/home/faq_details/1/31\" target=\"_blank\">Sharestates.com</a>—but these are only open to accredited investors. (Technically, you can invest in Sharestates as a non-U.S. person that&#8217;s not an accredited investor but keep in mind that you will not get a prospectus so you are certainly taking on more risk.) </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, NexusCrowd.com is one of the few Canadian-based real estate crowdfunding platforms. The crowdfunded real estate investment firm only takes on projects that are already 50% capitalized, or put another way, the developer and builder have already raised at least 50% of the funds required to build or remodel the proposed project. By structuring our investment model this way, explains Hitesh Rathod, CFA and co-founder of NexusCrowd.com, we avoid the riskiest part of a property development, which are the start-up soft costs. </span></p>\n<p>Yet, you&#8217;ll need to prove you&#8217;re an accredited investor before you can proceed with any opportunities with Nexuscrowd.com—and that&#8217;s only after a comprehensive Know-Your-Client process the firm insists each investors much go through. &#8220;We want to make sure that these investments are suitable for the investor.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Still, before you sign up and start buying make sure you read the fine print. Most of the current crowdfunding sites are not bound to the standardized financial reporting requirements that are mandatory by firms regulated by the SEC or Canada’s equivalent, OSFI. As a result, many crowdfunding platforms don&#8217;t offer a full prospectus—a formal legal document, required by and filed with a regulatory body, such as OSFI, that provides details about an investment offered for sale to the public. A prospectus should contain all the facts that an investor needs to make an informed investment decision. That said, investors can usually find some information, such as an investment plan, an appraisal report and a financial breakdown for each project, but it still pays to do your own due diligence with this type of investment. Just remember, you&#8217;re essentially getting into the private mortgage business and that can come with great reward, along with significant risk.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not the only real estate professional that feels this way. <a href=\"http://www.calumross.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Calum Ross</a>, an Ontario mortgage broker with a long history of helping real estate investors, weighed in with a comment on the <em>MoneySense</em> site. He stated: &#8220;Private mortgage and syndicated mortgages are very risky investments. People need to be very careful to understand the risk and deal with reputable people. In reality very few people have the risk profile and appropriate understanding to get involved. I fundamentally believe that only accredited investors should ever be allowed in this type of investment.&#8221;</p>\n<p>One final note: The purpose of finding alternative investments, such as real estate, is to expand and diversify your portfolio. Yet, if an investment into real estate crowdfunding turns out to be focused on just one property you should stop and ask yourself: Does this add to my portfolio&#8217;s overall diversified holdings, or does this investment limit my portfolio&#8217;s diversification? If you find that you&#8217;re too heavily invested in any one asset class, geographical region or type of investment, your portfolio may suffer in the long run.</p>\n<p><b><i><br />\n<b><i><b><i><i><b><i><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-43007\" src=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RomanaKing_322-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"RomanaKing_322\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" />Romana King</i></b><i> </i></i></i></b></i></b></i></b><i><i><i><i><i>is the senior editor and real estate specialist at MoneySense.

a solution for you: just tap your iPhone.</p>\n<p>CIBC&#8217;s new Hello Home app, available in the App Store, allows you to apply for a mortgage without ever meeting another human being. You’ll still need to submit the usual financial documents, of course, but this can be done by taking a photo of them through the app. When you have a question or problem, you can use the in-app messaging function to talk to a mortgage specialist. All of this, CIBC reassures, is secure.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/spend/real-estate/extra-money-will-reduce-mortgage-interest-but-not-monthly-payments/\" target=\"_blank\">Understanding how mortgage payments work » </a></p>\n<p>Users will be offered &#8220;special in-app mortgage rates” and you don’t need to be a CIBC customer to apply.</p>\n<p>CIBC&#8217;s mortgage app will certainly eliminate the time it takes to visit a bank branch and fill out paperwork, but Hello Home won’t actually speed up your mortgage approval process. That approval will still take about a week (sometimes longer) and, according to CIBC&#8217;s FAQ page for Hello Home, still goes through the same verification checks as a regular CIBC mortgage application process.</p>\n<p>If you’ve already got an existing CIBC mortgage, you’ll also be able to refinance it through Hello Home. When you’ve finished applying, you contact the mortgage specialist who’s been assigned to you through the in-app messaging, and they will formally process your refinance application.</p>\n<p>Scott Ingram, a Toronto realtor and Chartered Professional Accountant, doesn&#8217;t see any major value in the app for consumers beyond the discounted mortgage rate offers.

debate between active and passive investors can lead to confusion at times. It&#8217;s common to hear passive do-it-yourself (DIY) investors highlight the fact that most mutual funds lag the market. But it&#8217;s an argument that usually neglects a few salient points.</p>\n<p>First, investing in an index costs money. Practically speaking, most passive investors buy index mutual funds or exchange traded funds (ETFs) and their performance will be diminished by the fees levied by these funds. When deciding between taking an active or passive approach it seems unwise to compare the performance of an index without fees to that of a fund on an after-fee basis.</p>\n<p>I hasten to add that good index ETFs charge very little these days and it&#8217;s a big reason why they&#8217;re rightly prized by passive DIY investors.</p>\n<p>The second issue is also fee-related. While it is true that the average active fund in Canada charges more than the average index fund, the active funds usually come with individualized advice whereas the index funds do not.</p>\n<p>When comparing the active apples to passive pears it is better to think about four different possibilities. DIY investors can buy either active or passive portfolios while advisor-guided investors can also take either path.</p>\n<p>Most Canadian investment advisors charge about 1% per year (based on assets under management) for their services. That&#8217;s independent of whether the advisors recommend active or passive portfolios.</p>\n<p>While DIY investors can avoid advisor-related costs, they also give up the potential benefits. For instance, advisors can help with portfolio construction, tax and financial planning, and hand-holding during downturns. For many people—and new investors in particular—these benefits may well outweigh the costs.</p>\n<h3><strong>Safer Canadian Dogs</strong></h3>\n<p>Investors following the Dogs of the Dow strategy want to buy the 10 highest yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), hold them for a year, and then move into the new list of top yielders.</p>\n<p>The Dogs of the TSX works the same way but swaps the DJIA for the S&amp;P/TSX 60, which contains 60 of the largest stocks in Canada.</p>\n<p>My safer variant of the Dogs of the TSX tracks the 10 stocks in the index with the highest dividend yields provided they also pass a series of safety tests, such as having positive earnings. The idea is to weed out companies that might cut their dividends in the near term. Just be warned, it’s a task that’s easier said than done.</p>\n<p>Here’s the updated Safer Dogs of the TSX, representing the top yielders as of May 16. The list is a good starting point for those who want to put some money to work this week. Just keep in mind, the idea is to hold the stocks for at least a year after purchase – barring some calamity.</p>\n		<div>\n					</div>\n\n				<div class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_buttons_container\">\n				<span class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_left\"></span>\n				<span class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_right\"></span>\n			</div>\n			<br clear=\"both\" />\n	\n		<div class=\"rdm_ft_table_container\">\n			<table class=\"footable rdm-footable\" >\n				<thead>\n			        <tr>\n			        							<th  data-class=\"expand\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">Name</th>\n												<th  data-class=\"expand\"  data-type=\"numeric\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">Price</th>\n												<th  data-class=\"expand\"  data-type=\"numeric\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">P/B</th>\n												<th  data-class=\"expand\"  data-type=\"numeric\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">P/E</th>\n												<th  data-class=\"expand\"  data-type=\"numeric\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">Earnings Yield</th>\n												<th  data-class=\"expand\"  data-type=\"numeric\"  class=\"footable-sortable\">Dividend Yield</th>\n										</tr>\n				</thead>\n				<tbody>\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>National Bank (NA)</td>\n																	<td>$42.03</td>\n																	<td>1.51</td>\n																	<td>10.33</td>\n																	<td>9.68%</td>\n																	<td>5.14%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Shaw (SJR.B)</td>\n																	<td>$24.66</td>\n																	<td>2.22</td>\n																	<td>14.17</td>\n																	<td>7.06%</td>\n																	<td>4.81%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>CIBC (CM)</td>\n																	<td>$101.26</td>\n																	<td>1.93</td>\n																	<td>11.2</td>\n																	<td>8.93%</td>\n																	<td>4.66%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Power (POW)</td>\n																	<td>$28.84</td>\n																	<td>1.02</td>\n																	<td>9.05</td>\n																	<td>11.05%</td>\n																	<td>4.65%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)</td>\n																	<td>$62.93</td>\n																	<td>1.49</td>\n																	<td>10.87</td>\n																	<td>9.20%</td>\n																	<td>4.58%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>BCE (BCE)</td>\n																	<td>$59.99</td>\n																	<td>4.17</td>\n																	<td>18.92</td>\n																	<td>5.28%</td>\n																	<td>4.55%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>TELUS (T)</td>\n																	<td>$40.76</td>\n																	<td>3.16</td>\n																	<td>18.12</td>\n																	<td>5.52%</td>\n																	<td>4.51%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Royal Bank (RY)</td>\n																	<td>$77.01</td>\n																	<td>1.81</td>\n																	<td>11.55</td>\n																	<td>8.66%</td>\n																	<td>4.21%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Manulife (MFC)</td>\n																	<td>$18.08</td>\n																	<td>0.95</td>\n																	<td>14.94</td>\n																	<td>6.69%</td>\n																	<td>4.09%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n					\n								<tr>\n\n																	<td>Bank of Montreal (BMO)</td>\n																	<td>$82.35</td>\n																	<td>1.38</td>\n																	<td>12.25</td>\n																	<td>8.16%</td>\n																	<td>4.08%</td>\n								\n								</tr>\n\n									</tbody>\n			</table>\n			<div class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_buttons_container rdm_ft_table_bottom\">\n				<span class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_left\"></span>\n				<span class=\"rdm_ft_scroll_right\"></span>\n			</div>\n		</div>\n	\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, May 16, 2016</p>\n<p>Notes</p>\n<p>Price: Closing price per share</p>\n<p>P/B: Price to Book Value Ratio</p>\n<p>P/E: Price to Earnings Ratio</p>\n<p>Earnings Yield: Earnings divided by Price, expressed as a percentage</p>\n<p>Dividend Yield: Expected-Annual-Dividend divided by Price, expressed as a percentage</p>\n<p>As always, do your due diligence before buying any stock, including those featured here.

class=\"p1\"><strong>Q:</strong> I earn $30,000 per year at a part-time job and collect $48,000 in pension. My husband still works and earns $85,000 annually, but has no pension. Should I contribute to a spousal RRSP to lower his income and improve his retirement portfolio?</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i> — AnnMarie Wolf, Toronto</i></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>A:</strong> Spousal RRSPs are a great tool to spread out a retirement nest egg and reduce income tax. But in your case, a regular RRSP for your husband works best. “Even after the additional income, his marginal tax rate is at least a few percentage points higher than hers, so he’d benefit more by making his own RRSP contributions,” says Noel D’Souza, a Toronto CFP with Money Coaches Canada. Another reason not to contribute to a spousal RRSP: Any investment you make uses up your RRSP contribution room, not your husband’s, and lowers your taxable income, not his. Instead, you should take on more household expenses, freeing up your husband’s income to maximize his RRSP contributions. In retirement, you want your incomes to be as close as possible, to minimize the tax you pay as a couple.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a style=\"display: block; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;

But if you’re in the later phase, or planning for it in the next decade or so, paying attention to tax brackets can save you tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.</p>\n<p>“Most people misinterpret how our tax system works,” says Doug Dahmer, founder and CEO of Emeritus Financial Strategies. “They fail to understand that taxes are applied on bands of income, where different and increasing rates of tax are applied to each band. Each of these bands is known as a bracket.”</p>\n<p>Strategically, the key concept is what Robert Armstrong, BMO&#8217;s Vice President, Head of Managed Solutions, terms “topping up to bracket.” Referring to the need to withdraw more than the legal minimum from a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), Armstrong says people who retire early or phase gradually into retirement by reducing their work hours “will likely be at lower income levels than when they were engaged in full-time work.”</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/save/retirement/two-tax-credits-retirees-should-know-about/\">Ways to pay less tax in retirement » </a></p>\n<p>This is especially likely in the years before they qualify for government pensions like Old Age Security or the Canada Pension Plan, or if they are old enough to collect but choose to defer those benefits to perhaps their late 60s.</p>\n<p>It’s tempting to enjoy “basking” in those lower tax brackets for a few years but, as Dahmer argues, eventually such taxpayers may eventually be in for a rude shock. Many could find themselves in a tax trap created by forced annual and taxable RRIF withdrawals (from 71 on), which can also leave you exposed to clawbacks of government benefits. “Clawbacks are just another incremental 15% tax bracket,” Dahmer points out.</p>\n<p>As Armstrong says, “it may be worthwhile paying a little bit more taxes today to avoid a much higher tax bill and clawback of income-tested benefits in future.”</p>\n<p>I always say that if nothing else, in any given tax year I want to maximize the lowest-taxed dollars. Consider that because of the Basic Personal Amount, almost the first $11,474 of income—that’s almost $1,000 a month—is taxed at zero! Compare that to someone in the top tax bracket making over $220,000 a year in Ontario, at which the combined federal/provincial tax rate is 53.53%.</p>\n<p>And as my previous <a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/save/retirement/two-tax-credits-retirees-should-know-about/\">Retired Money column highlighted</a>, on top of the Basic Personal Account, many retirees or semi-retirees can expand this “tax-free zone” with the Age Credit (roughly $6,000) and Pension Credit ($2,000 per person). So Dahmer estimates the tax-free zone can work out to $20,000 per person or $40,000 for a couple. Add to that pension income-splitting, which we’ll look at in a future column. But remember, you need to take advantage of these tactics each year as they come up: It’s use it or lose it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/save/retirement/how-much-money-will-you-need-to-retire/\">How much money will you need to retire? » </a></p>\n<p>Of course, it’s pretty hard to live on $20,000 a year even if it is tax-free. Aim for much more and soon enough the tax brackets start to kick in at steadily higher percentages. If you think you can get by on $3,000 or $4,000 a month (perhaps that’s your half of the contribution to the family), then you’ll certainly want to “top up” to the 15% federal tax bracket, which (according to <a href=\"http://www.taxtips.ca/taxrates/on.htm\">TaxTips.ca</a>), applies on the first $41,536 of taxable income. Adding provincial tax and any surtaxes in Ontario, this becomes 20.05% on other income (less on capital gains or dividends).</p>\n<p>Depending on the province, there may be as many as 10 brackets. Each time you “top up” to a slightly higher bracket, you’ll pay a bit more on a relative basis for the “extra” income earned. The combined marginal rate in 2016 in Ontario hits 24.15% between $41,536 and $45,282; 29.65% between $45,282 and $73,145, and so on.</p>\n<p>Adrian Mastracci, president of Vancouver-based KCM Wealth Management Inc., reminds clients they shouldn’t be driven primarily by tax considerations. However, he suggests most semi-retired Ontarians may at least want to top up to the 24% bracket. “Past that you’re skating into thin ice. The further up you go, the less you save.” So beyond $45,282, “you may want to stop there to see how much more you really need. Going to the first $41,000 is a no-brainer but one day you may need that higher amount to live on.”</p>\n<p>Where do you find income to top up? This can be from part-time earned income, self employment, dividends or other passive investment income, triggering non-registered capital gains (and offsetting losses) or taking out some RRSP or RRIF income earlier than required. We’ll look at all of these in future installments of this column.</p>\n<p><em>Jonathan Chevreau writes MoneySense’s Retired Money column, <em>which explores smart ways to draw down income in retirement and semi-retirement.

– Famous Five activist Nellie McClung is the No. 1 choice to become the first Canadian woman on the face of one of the country’s banknotes, according to a recent online survey.</p>\n<p>The survey found 27 per cent of respondents favoured McClung, a suffragette who fought for women to be legally recognized as persons in Canada.</p>\n<p>Politician Therese Casgrain, aeronautical engineer Elsie MacGill, Anne of Green Gables author Lucy Maud Montgomery, artist Emily Carr and black activist and businesswoman Viola Desmond rounded out the top six choices.</p>\n<p><strong>Photo gallery:</strong> <a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/learn/what-canadian-woman-should-be-on-our-banknotes/\" target=\"_blank\">Which Canadian woman should be on the new banknote? » </a></p>\n<p>All 12 options in the survey came from the long list of candidates created by the Bank of Canada’s advisory council. The council narrowed its choices after receiving more than 18,000 submissions during a public call for nominations earlier this year.</p>\n<p>The remaining six nominees all received less than 10 per cent of votes in the poll. They were poet E. Pauline Johnson, author Gabrielle Roy, artist Pitseolak Ashoona, suffragette Idola Saint-Jean, humanitarian Lotta Hitschmanova and athlete Fanny (Bobbie) Rosenfeld.</p>\n<p>The Angus Reid Institute conducted the survey of 1,517 Canadian adults who are members of its online forum between May 10 and May 13. The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.</p>\n<p>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced earlier this year that a woman would be featured on the next issue of banknotes due out in 2018.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.moneysense.ca/news/panel-chosen-to-short-list-women-nominees-for-new-banknote/image/7/\" target=\"_blank\">Panel to short list woman nominees for new banknote » </a></p>\n<p>Four out of five respondents in the survey agreed that at least one woman other than the Queen should be on the front of a Canadian bill.</p>\n<p>Women have been on a Canadian banknote previously, although not on the face.</p>\n<p>The Famous Five, along with Casgrain, were featured on the back side of a $50 bill unveiled in 2004. However, the women were dropped from the bill in 2011 when a new polymer version was introduced.</p>\nNote: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this

It is important for you to know which assets you can protect in case you think there is a chance that you may face a lawsuit at some time in the future.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve put together some tips that will help you safeguard your property, but make sure you get in touch with a lawyer to understand exactly what you need to protect and how you should go about the process.</p>\n<h3>Assets Which You Can Protect</h3>\n<p>Getting sued is often a complicated situation, because of the mix of state and federal laws, and one of the things that creditors will take from you is your assets, which will leave you devastated. Though each case is unique in its own way, the fears and concerns are the same.</p>\n<p>When you’re dealing with asset protection, however, remember that it’s important not to move assets to a family member’s name when you think you are about to be sued – that will come off as suspicious activity and is liable to get you into even more trouble!</p>\n<p>As you start thinking about asset protection, classify them in three different sections – Home, Retirement Accounts and Taxable Accounts.</p>\n<h3>Home</h3>\n<p>Protecting your home depends on where you live, as there are some states that protect your home from creditors. This is called a &#8216;Homestead Exemption&#8217;, and may offer full or partial protection to your home in case of a lawsuit. However, this is not applicable in the cases where you have filed for personal bankruptcy, owe money to the state and federal government or if you have defaulted on your mortgage.</p>\n<p>Homestead Exemption also applies to primary residences, not on a second home. It’s wise to have some idea of what to do when you are faced with a lawsuit, so get in touch with an attorney and figure out how to best deal with your situation.</p>\n<h3>Retirement Account</h3>\n<p>Retirement plans and accounts can offer financial protection for your savings, keeping them safe from being taken over by creditors. There are laws and acts which give security to retirement plans, benefit plans and many other employer-sponsored plans. You can be protected from creditor judgement, personal injury lawsuits and even bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>Employer sponsored plans are typically limited in their protection, and do not extend to retirement plans which only cover the owner of a certain business or their spouse. In cases like these, your money might be safe from bankruptcy, but that’s about it.</p>\n<h3>Taxable Accounts</h3>\n<p>After your home and retirement plans have been protected, you can move on to the money held in taxable accounts, like life insurance plans. Creditors will go to your taxable accounts if they find your home and retirement plans protected, so you have to be on alert. If you have large amounts of savings and assets, consider putting them into a trust for safety.</p>\n<p>Your homeowner and auto insurance policies should be sufficient to cover basic liability services if you are charged with a lawsuit for a traffic or domestic accident. It’s important to tell your insurance company about the matter immediately, however, to ensure that they can handle the financial consequences before it gets escalated.</p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter what the specifics of a case are, you can always protect your assets if you put your mind to it. Consult an experienced legal or financial expert to discuss your concerns and get personalized advice.</p>\n<p>Joel Ray provides expert guidance on an array of topics, centered on securing a sound financial future for you and your family.  Joel shares his passion to help others, in meeting their <a href=\"http://www.lifecentra.com/lifegoals/\">long-term financial goals</a>, through his informative blogs and whitepapers.

More than anything, learning to save money is about being aware and breaking bad habits. Most of us aren’t taught how to manage our finances, so when we are young adults we go into the world and have to learn tough lessons through a process of trial and error. This is unfortunate because some of those errors can have a lasting effect on the course of a life.</p>\n<p>A skill that every person needs to know how to do is effectively save money. Having a savings is like having a parachute for when things go wrong unexpectedly. It is possible to save money, no matter how little, at any income level. Sometimes this saving requires some sacrifice, but those sacrifices will be worth it when you have <a href=\"http://www.moneydebate.com/savings-every-little-bit-helps/\">an emergency</a>. If you just make a few small changes to how you spend your money, you will find that you have extra to put into a savings account.</p>\n<p>Below are five tips for the average person to save money every day:</p>\n<h3>Separate Needs From Wants</h3>\n<p>Every time you make a purchase, ask yourself: “do I need this, or do I want it?” Just asking yourself that question will highlight where you are spending your money unnecessarily. We often make impulse purchases that we regret later. If you rid these purchases from your daily habit you will rack up significant savings which can later be put to better use.</p>\n<h3>Take Your Lunch To Work Every Day</h3>\n<p>This is a tough change for a lot of people, but you will be shocked to discover how much money you save by making it. Eating out is one of the most frivolous ways to spend money, and if you are not making contributions to a savings account you cannot afford to be so frivolous. Money aside, making your own lunch is usually much healthier too. Find 5 or 6 lunches that you love and commit to making those for yourself.</p>\n<h3>Wait Before You Buy</h3>\n<p>If you really want something, you will want it for more than just the passing moment. If you find yourself eyeing a new piece of clothing, or a cute piece of décor, tell yourself that you can have it…but you can’t buy it for two or three weeks. That item will still be there; there is no rush. You will find that most of the time you simply forget about it. Turns out, you didn’t really want it so badly after all. If you do this just one time a week for a $25 item, you will have saved $100 a month!</p>\n<h3>Compare Companies Before Signing Up For Services</h3>\n<p>Most everyone is subscribed to some service, whether that be internet, cable, whatever. Before you sign up for a year-long contract, <a href=\"http://www.moneydebate.com/7-ways-to-save-during-the-holidays/\">compare different companies</a>. Most of the time these companies will run promotional offers. Do your research. You could end up saving hundreds of dollars as year by simply investing an hour to research</p>\n<h3>Buy Used</h3>\n<p>There are <i>so</i> many items that are just as good used as new. Not only is <a href=\"http://www.moneydebate.com/4-things-you-should-replace-rather-than-fix/\">buying used</a> way better for the environment, its good money management. If you are looking for a new bookcase, look first to consignment or thrift stores. If you need a new bike, check out online resources before heading to the store.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}}}i:2;a:7:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}s:5:\"child\";a:3:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"Enlarge Your Mental Wallet So You Can Live Large\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/enlarge-your-mental-wallet-so-you-can-live-large/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 12 Jun 2015 06:14:59 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Getting Out Of Debt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/?p=403\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:354:\"Believe it or not, many people don&#8217;t give themselves permission to live life to the fullest.

For many people, they think that &#8216;good enough&#8217; is enough for their needs. They don&#8217;t dare to dream big. They don&#8217;t dare to push the envelope. They don&#8217;t dare to want the best for themselves and their loved ones.</p>\n<p>If this all sounds weird and unusual, you would be surprised by how many people are content to dine on crumbs when life has spread out a grand buffet around them. Sad? You bet. Frustrating. Sure. All too common? Absolutely.</p>\n<p>The truth is, your mind is your most powerful asset. It can turn ideas into reality. With the right action, it can turn stuff you dream about into everyday waking realities. However, you have to use your mind properly for you to achieve your full potential.</p>\n<p>Sadly, thinking small and thinking in terms of fear hold people down and keep them in mental chains. As a result, they are like eagles who settle for eating chicken feed when they can soar in the sky.</p>\n<h3>Overcoming small thinking</h3>\n<p>The first step to earning the income you deserve is to look at your current earnings. Are you getting paid what you deserve? Why not? What are you willing to sacrifice to earn more? How hard are you willing to work so you can get more? You have to answer these questions with all the honest and determination you  can determine. If you only answer YES to certain questions, you are settling for a life of frustration by whining but not acting.</p>\n<p>You have to answer all the questions and resolve to act. Don&#8217;t settle for the crumbs life throws you. Instead, set your sights on a huge goal. How huge? We&#8217;re talking audacious. We&#8217;re talking bold. If you are earning $50,000 a year, set yourself a target for $500,000 a year. Unrealistic? Absolutely not. Why? You are creative, and you are resourceful.</p>\n<p>When you set up a bold target, you unleash the creative, social, and networking mechanisms in your being to help you achieve that goal. When you focus on small goals and keep your expectations low, you dampen your creative abilities, your intellectual abilities, and your ability to work towards a goal.</p>\n<h3>Overcoming fear of failure</h3>\n<p>Life rewards action. However, action sometimes ends in failure. Get over it. It&#8217;s a fact of life. You can&#8217;t make a shot if you don&#8217;t take a shot. You lose out when you don&#8217;t even try.

This is understandable, as credit cards allow you to purchase more at a given time while carrying less. You only get to carry one slim plastic card with you and you can surely do a lot as well as purchase a lot.</p>\n<p>It also helps in keeping an organized track of all the spending you make through monthly credit card statements. Aside from that, when you use credit cards to pay for your purchases, you can easily note or discuss charges about the items you bought, which were not delivered or defective.</p>\n<p>However, even if these benefits are truly good, it cannot be denied that credit cards also help in easily overspending especially if there are holidays or special occasions. That said, there are ways on how you can wisely manage your credit cards so you can make the most out of every usage while steering away from what seems to be infinite debt.</p>\n<h3>Practice the habit of paying credit card bills as soon as possible</h3>\n<p>Credit card companies always provide monthly statements so you will be able to see how much your total balance is. It would be better to practice the habit of paying your monthly credit card bill as soon as you receive your statement. You will be able to lower your balance soon if you pay off dues on time and on a regular basis since interest will not pile up too much. In addition, keep in mind that paying bills later than their due dates accrue late fees and may make your interest rate higher.</p>\n<h3>Practice paying more than the set minimum balance</h3>\n<p>When your monthly credit card statements arrive, a minimum balance is always set. You can pay this minimum balance or if you can pay for a little bit more so you may be able to zero out your total credit card balance faster. Now, if you notice that your minimum balance has decreased since you are paying more than what is due, try to stick to the previous amount you are paying. This will help you get your credit card balance clean in no time.</p>\n<h3>Focus on using one rewards card only</h3>\n<p>A credit card usually comes with a rewards card that may be used to store some points from the shopping you made. If you were using many credit cards, it would be wise to focus on using one rewards card only. This will ensure that you will be accumulating points on one card, which you can use to claim a reward earlier instead of having these points all scattered out.</p>\n<p>Credit cards can truly help in more ways than one. In turn, you must also do your share in using them wisely so you may enjoy their benefits better. In doing smart credit card management, you are also doing yourself a huge favor since you will not be engulfed by huge debts, which may ruin your personal finance.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}}}i:4;a:7:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}s:5:\"child\";a:3:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"How To Make Money Off Credit Card Premiums\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/how-to-make-money-off-credit-card-premiums/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sat, 11 Apr 2015 04:36:42 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Getting Out Of Debt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/?p=400\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:300:\"Usually, when people think of credit cards, one of the first things that comes to mind is the fact that they have to pay off their balance sooner or later.

Regardless of how much you love shopping with plastic, you have to have this reality in mind at some level or another. This is the cold hard reality of shopping with credit cards. However, there is a way you can actually make money off your credit cards.</p>\n<p>Many cards have premium programs. Whether in the form of shopping gift certificates or actual cash back or premium free products, many cards have these marketing programs so they can increase their number of users. You can actually use these premium programs to your advantage and make money off the credit cards.</p>\n<h3>Your goal is to make money not pay interest</h3>\n<p>Making money off the premiums offered by credit cards is only possible if you don&#8217;t pay interest on these cards. In other words, you have to pay off your balance very quickly so you don&#8217;t get dinged with interest charges. This means you have to pay off your shopping balance before the grace period expires.</p>\n<p>The great thing about doing it this way is that you get the points, but you avoid the interest. You have to do this consistently and make sure you have enough cash to cover the balance because if you do things differently, whatever benefits you get from the premiums are wasted. You will have to pay the money you made off the premiums to cover the interest.</p>\n<h3>Sell premiums online</h3>\n<p>Many of the premiums offered by credit cards are transferable points or discounts or actual freebies. In either case, you can use online platforms like ebay or craigslist to sell the premiums and turn them into cold hard cash. You have to list on as many places as possible so you can boost your chances of getting rid of them at a good price. It is a numbers game. Don&#8217;t just advertise at one place. Make sure you advertise at a free site or a site that charges a very low interest rate.</p>\n<h3>Sell premiums frequently</h3>\n<p>Once you get the hang of getting premiums and selling them online, you might decide to put all your monthly purchases on certain cards so you can get the premiums. The more you do this, the more premiums you have to sell. Once you get the cash from the premiums, you can invest the cash in making more profits. Also, you can look for other cards that offer freebie premiums. This can be the start of something big.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}}}i:5;a:7:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\n		\n		\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:43:\"4 Things You Should Replace Rather Than Fix\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:71:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/4-things-you-should-replace-rather-than-fix/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/4-things-you-should-replace-rather-than-fix/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:59:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Frugal Living\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/?p=345\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:336:\"In today’s world it’s sometimes cheaper to replace something than fix it.

Big ticket items can come with big ticket repair bills, so sometimes it’s more financially prudent to simply replace the item rather than repair it.</p>\n<p>Repair bills are going up while the initial cost of purchasing an item is going down. This is because repair men are fetching higher hourly salaries while most big ticket items are made in factories overseas where the cost of producing the items has gone down. Advances in technology as well as newer, cheaper materials are making it possible to purchase items for less money than ever before.</p>\n<p>So what happens when the repair man’s hourly rate quickly outpaces the initial cost of purchasing an item? The item suddenly becomes disposable. Read on to discover 4 things you should replace rather than fix.</p>\n<h3>1. Appliances</h3>\n<p>For the most part, mid to low-range appliances are cheaper to replace than they are to fix. It doesn’t matter what brand you purchase, as this is true for most appliances. Take a washing machine for example, a repair man will charge $100-$150 for a diagnostic. The parts are often expensive and take time to order, and then the cost of replacing the part can get quite expensive due to the complexity of today’s machines. Soon, it’s cheaper to go to your local home improvement store and order a replacement with free next day delivery than it is to bother having the repair man stop by.</p>\n<p>The only time this isn’t true is if you purchase top of the line appliances. If you spend the extra money to get the bells and whistles on an appliance, you should also spring for an extended warranty that covers everything from the diagnostic to the labor to replace the broken components. When purchasing the warranty, be sure to ask if there are any fees associated with house calls.</p>\n<h3>2. Commuter Vehicles</h3>\n<p>Car repairs are one of the most expensive costs for daily commuters. For people who drive a great distance each day in an inexpensive commuter vehicle, repairing a major component of the car may be more expensive than buying a new commuter vehicle. If this sounds like you, try to trade your old vehicle in on the new one, or if it’s beyond value, call a scrap yard that pays cash for cars to help offset your cost.</p>\n<h3>3. Televisions</h3>\n<p>Like appliances, today’s televisions often cost more to repair than they do to purchase new. Every year brings in new technology that repair men must stay up-to-date with, which can lead to big repair bills. To offset the cost of the repair, purchase a warranty for your television or attempt to diagnose and repair the problem yourself. Often, if it’s a major piece of the television that needs repairing, it’s cheaper to buy a new TV than to repair the old one.</p>\n<p>If you need to buy a new TV, shop holiday sales or off-season right before new models are released. You’ll save a ton of money and you’ll get the latest technology to enhance your television viewing pleasure.</p>\n<h3>4. Shoes</h3>\n<p>Shoe cobbling is a dying art. When you wear holes through your soles or rip through a lace hole, it’s time to buy new shoes. Long gone are the days of having your favorite pair of loafers repaired. Rising costs for retail space and labor have made shoe cobbling a dying art</p>\n<p>The next time one of these 4 items breaks down, ask yourself if it’s really worth fixing. Being financially responsible means looking at all of your options and choosing the course that makes the most sense for your and your family.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/4-things-you-should-replace-rather-than-fix/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"2\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}}}}}s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";a:1:{s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:3:{s:4:\"href\";s:32:\"http://www.moneydebate.com/feed/\";s:3:\"rel\";s:4:\"self\";s:4:\"type\";s:19:\"application/rss+xml\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";a:2:{s:12:\"updatePeriod\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"hourly\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}s:15:\"updateFrequency\";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"1\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"xmlns\";a:6:{s:7:\"content\";s:40:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/\";s:3:\"wfw\";s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";s:2:\"dc\";s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";s:4:\"atom\";s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";s:2:\"sy\";s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";s:5:\"slash\";s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";}}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";a:8:{s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Mon, 23 May 2016 06:39:40 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:24:\"text/html; charset=utf-8\";s:10:\"connection\";s:5:\"close\";s:10:\"set-cookie\";s:132:\"__cfduid=d0f00d0be2416d4bb095847bbe19031fb1463985580; expires=Tue, 23-May-17 06:39:40 GMT; path=/; domain=.moneydebate.com; HttpOnly\";s:4:\"vary\";s:22:\"Accept-Encoding,Cookie\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Mon, 16 May 2016 08:55:46 GMT\";s:6:\"server\";s:16:\"cloudflare-nginx\";s:6:\"cf-ray\";s:20:\"2a76831871352228-LAX\";}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20130911163210\";}','no'),(29756,'_transient_timeout_feed_mod_ea278129bcdfff247d3d880094fcd1b5','1464081578','no'),(29757,'_transient_feed_mod_ea278129bcdfff247d3d880094fcd1b5','1463995178','no'),(29762,'_transient_timeout_yvi_request_key','1464012854','no'),(29763,'_transient_yvi_request_key','SNIDCdWKo06uTligKpGrSOjldK0grQI2ydfZX','no'),(29768,'_transient_timeout___yvi_playlists_update','1463998982','no'),(29769,'_transient___yvi_playlists_update','1463998082','no');
