  • A date picker to schedule posts in WordPress

    On Sunday mornings I make some coffee, sit down at my computer, and choose 7 images to publish to my blog throughout the week.

    Inspired by Shawn Blanc’s post wherein he thanked the people that helped make The Sweet Setup a reality I thought I’d take a few moments to thank everyone that helped make Barley for WordPress, our team’s inline editing plugin for WordPress, a reality.

  • A case for something, anything more simple than WordPress

    There is a growing sentiment that WordPress – though incredibly well supported and ubiquitous – is simply far too complex for some projects and for some customers. Obviously, I think so too. That’s why my company is building Barley. Here are a few other notable people that seem to believe the same thing, that while WordPress…
