    Feels odd to say this, but it feels like way too early for Spring. I mean, I very much prefer Spring and Summer but this early?  I wonder if we are gonna wind up with an actual early Spring, or if we are gonna have such a mild rest of the Winter that the Summer never truly gets hot? I've experienced those before, they suck!

    Dunno about the rest of you – but I really find snow rather irritating. I mean, with a snow blower it's a lot less so – but its… wet… and cold… and it sticks around long after its welcome has worn thin! It's like the guest that has overstayed it's welcome…

    Although it IS a good excuse to drink more hot chocolate and cuddle up to your loved ones, so it does have that going for it. Hoping everyone out there is keeping warm and dry and enjoying their hot drinks with their loved ones!

    John's Intro:

    It's Episode 618 and we have a show for Xmas and New Years Holiday Season Chatter… but no WordPress News this week. It's all coming up on WordPress Plugins A-Z!

    Amber's Rant:

    Welcome to Episode 618 – Holiday Magic for WordPress Plugins!

    We're not gonna be doing a regular show today where we do a couple of in-depth plugin reviews for you. Instead, we're gonna mainly be talking about where WordPress is today, and where we think it's going in 2024 and beyond. There may be some chatter about some favourite plugins we have covered throughout the last year, some mentions of past news and other things, but since this is a Holiday show we are really just gonna be ‘winging' it.

    Our regular reminders before we start the show today….

    Reminders:



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

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

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



    That's it for reminders! We won't be bringing the usual questions at the end of the show today, though if you listen in you might hear some thrown in here and there.

    Holiday art done by the Rogue!

    Going through the Art Vaults is awesome, but we would love some new art! You can send it into us at https://wppluginsatoz.com/artwork/. You can also check out the art vaults yourself there too!

    …We can NEVER have too much art!



    WordPress Tips

    Even though this isn't really a scripted show today, I do have one bit of advice that may or may not be useful for our producers out there.

    Holiday Hours

    Whether you have been in this business for ever now, or you are just starting out, remember to take some time for yourself this holiday season – and every other holiday season.

    I know that you are probably busy, and you probably have a bunch of projects on the go all with deadlines just around the corner due to the New Years – but what good are you gonna be if you burn out?

    Give yourself permission to take the time away from work.

    And if you are doing these projects for your clients, and they are giving you a hard time, wanting you to to work through the holidays, just tell them that you are working on it. Don't tell them to bugger off (no matter how good that might feel), just placate them, sweet talk them, and then take your time off without guilt.

    After all,

Plugin Catalog

I love this show for the plugins and how they rate the plugin. Lots of information about plugins. Only part that is not clear is the names of some plugins. Sometimes I’ll search for the name they give on Wordpress and I can’t find it.

Plenty o' Plugins

I've been following this podcast for several months. Though I only support one website I have found several plugins that added features or helped me process things better.Good Job!

Reality501 ,

Too many interviews

Used to love the show. Went back and listened to all episodes from beginning. Was very helpful and insightful. New format not as helpful. Old show - 5 star. Now - 2 star, at best. Not going to listen any more. There are other shows more interesting now.
