I remember when one of my friends told me they were spending more on ads than they were making in sales from their WooCommerce store. That’s when I suggested we try adding a rewards program. We launched a simple refer-a-friend system, and within three months, their word-of-mouth sales had nearly doubled. I know that WooCommerce […]
Another month has turned just like the leaves as autumn settles in. I was lucky enough to get time to focus thanks to sponsors, here is what I did within WordPress. August reflections It’s worth noting I am aware that August didn’t have a month post, this was due to travelling back from being at […]
I have two interesting interviews to share with you today, the first is Lex Friedman interviewing Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. I started using and advocating for Telegram back in 2015, and Audrey Capital was part of their aborted fundraise in 2018. As a software craftsperson, I’ve always had tremendous respect for the team […]

One of the things I hate most on the internet, and part of the reason I started WordPress, was to fight linkrot. Ever since 1998, when Tim Berners-Lee wrote “Cool URIs Don’t Change,” I’ve been obsessed with content management and ensuring that links don’t break. (BTW, TBL, a pioneer of creating the World Wide Web, […]

How I Use OpenAI to Autogenerate WooCommerce Product Descriptions

The other day, I met my friend for coffee, and we were talking about her WooCommerce business. She told me that sometimes, she hits a wall and ends up reusing the same adjectives for her product descriptions—sleek, nice, stylish—across multiple products. The worst part? She often doesn’t notice until much later, when her store pages […]
