Toni Schneider – Automattic As A Distributed Work Force

Toni Schneider – Automattic As A Distributed Work Force

Lots of Automattic employees within 7-9 months tell Toni that they can’t imagine going back to a regular job.

Automattic has been 100% distributed since day 1.

180 people, 28 countries, 138 cities make up the Automattic workforce.

Interesting point about people working from home. The assumption is that people would goof off. But Toni mentions how they have the opposite problem of people working too much.

This sounds awesome, but, personally, I don’t think I have the discipline to work this way.  I need to be in the office and I need face-to-face time.  I still appreciate the flexibility Automattic offers though.

The most useful diagram for understanding how WordPress themes work – the WordPress Template Hierarchy – has been enhanced with some artistic detail, converted into an interactive link map, and copied over to its own domain. Excellent job!

How to add Google fonts into your WordPress

How to add Google fonts into your WordPress

Use Google to generate the CSS for the font, then include it using wp_register_style() and/or wp_enqueue_style() WordPress functions.  This should probably be generalized to accept font name parameters, as well as probably moved out into a plugin.
