This article uses the analogy “Coding is like caving” to explain what coding is, what it isn’t, who it’s for, and how to succeed at it.

Want to know who’s the best WordPress hosting in 2019? Let’s get straight to it:

The “WordPress Community.” Everyone talks about it. And it does exist, and is great.

We’ve written this comprehensive SiteGround review after testing all major WordPress hosts and hosting with SiteGround for five years. We recommend making SiteGround’s GrowBig plan (starts at $5.95/mo before renewing higher) your first choice for shared WordPress hosting on any site with fewer than 30,000 visits a month. It’s reliable, performant, and technically cutting-edge, with very good and accessible tech support.

Happy New Year! 2019 is brand new, and it’s a time of promise and opportunity. Whether you do WordPress development for clients, manage one or more personal WordPress projects, or other, here are six ways you can make 2019 your best year in WordPress yet.

Happy Thanksgiving week to our USA readers! We’re trying something new this week. We want to hear your real questions for us, and we want to answer them in an accessible format.

Last week Fred hosted our first Pro Community-style webinar, on Why Gutenberg Doesn’t Kill Pagebuilders (Yet). We really enjoyed it. It was fantastic to connect more deeply with WPShout readers, and we’ve had very generous and kind feedback on the quality of the teaching and value of the format.

A key feature we plan to offer in the WPShout Pro Community (currently available for pre-order!) is biweekly live, technical Deep Dive webinars.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been writing about why WordPress development can be lonely, and how a learning community makes everything easier. Last week, we announced the WPShout Pro Community as a solution to these problems.

Does any of this sound familiar in your WordPress work?
