AI in SEO has the potential to do both, but you…

Having been on Twitter since 2008, even though this is being published in 2024, I still prefer to refer to the network as Twitter, and not X, and therefore the title of Twitter User Statistics. While the platform has gone through its changes with new ownership, it still plays a role in today’s social media marketing. If you ask me what social network I recommend to B2C companies for their social media marketing, it would be Facebook, Instagram, and/or TikTok followed by Pinterest and/or Twitter. For B2B businesses, it would be LinkedIn followed by Twitter or Facebook. Clearly it’s easy…

We have the power to bend WordPress to our will. A little (or a lot) of custom code can make the content management system (CMS) do more. The sky’s the limit when it comes to functionality. That’s quite a magic wand in our pockets. However, it does bring up a few key questions. Do we go big when building plugins and themes for WordPress? Do we add all the bells and whistles and account for every potential use case? Or do we aim for the bare minimum – just enough to serve our needs? I prefer the latter approach –…
