Welcome to Episode 650 – Your Ultimate Guide Through the WordPress Plugin Galaxy from WP Plugins A to Z

We’ve got a couple of great in-depth plugins to cover for you, some recent news in both the WordPress World and the Tech World in general, and some awesome WordPress Tips!

Hoping everyone is doing well and keeping healthy despite the tiny little deathstars floating around – cotton wood is the WORST for me this time of year! Although I am sure that if I bothered going around and collecting it all I could have a really neat floofy pile to make a pillow or something – but I don’t think I will.

A few reminders before we start the show today….

Reminders:



Every Monday at 12:30 pm Pacific Time brings you a show from both John and I, or just John as he does interviews and solo shows in alteration with this one!

Join in a little earlier to catch the pre-stream on both shows!

Show notes are added to wppluginsatoz.com within 24 hours of the show airing; you can find them either on the home page, or in the Podcast Vaults!

This is a value for value show dear listeners, help us get some loven’ by hitting some like buttons, sharing an episode or two, or just turn our show on really loudly. We will catch somebodies attention!



If you stick around until the end, you will have a chance to hear some good questions – sometimes meant for the greenies, sometimes meant for the very experienced – and sometimes the questions are just completely random. Stick around and have a listen, might help! Or at least entertain!
