HeroPress Network Updates For August 11, 2023
HeroPress.com – Banks, Elves, Dice, and WordPress
Mika Epstein is from Anaheim, CA, USA. She was working in a bank while supporting WordPress for free and someone suggested she get a job doing it.
I was introduced to companies, I had a lot of interviews, and in the end I found a place where I’m incredibly happy. I get to spend my day mired in WordPress.
Mika’s essay is available on HeroPress.com.
Hallway Chats – WordCamp Birmingham Hallway Chats
In February Topher and Cate went to WordCamp Birmingham and Topher was able to interview both Aisha Adams and Marcus Burnette in the hallway.
Aisha: But I like to get back to the community that gives so much to me. So today I spoke on diversity, equity, and inclusion. And when I’m not speaking on DEI, I’m probably talking about being an influencer using social media marketing to promote your blog.
This Hallway Chat is available on HallwayChats.com.
WPPhotos.Info
This week’s WPPhotos Info is called “Ama Yangri“.
This photo was taken by Anis and I wanted to know how he happened to be in the wonderful place. As it turns out, he lives about 90km (56 miles for the yanks) from this place and is an avid hiker, so he hikes here for fun.
HeroPress Tip Of The Week
This week’s Tip of the Week is titled “How To Find Spies In Your Website“. Nearly every website has code included from other website, whether it be from Google or your mailing list manager. These bits of code are aware they’re on your site, and what your visitors are doing. They’re not necessarily malicious, but you should be aware of who is watching. I’ll show you how.
