🧑‍🏫 Woocommerce Payment Plug-in by Darryl Baylosis
Present an alternative ecommerce payment gateway (instead of Stripe or Paypal) that costs less in fees, is highly flexible, very simple plug-in, and actually rewards Wordpress webdevs with each transaction. This is from an Australian company that will also provide customer support for any of the payment processing queries.

🧑‍🏫 Small site management by AI agents: my journey by Nigel Brown
How I use AI agents to manage a few small sites: lessons learned, tips and next steps. We look at using tiny experiments to explore the place of AI agents in small site management. For those curious about AI agents - are they ready for production?

🧑‍🏫 Stop Guessing, Start Listening by Matthew Hodge
Most websites only speak up once something is already broken, but WordPress is different - it tells you a lot if you know which doors to open. By maintaining the three key pillars of Monitoring, Security, and Updates on the sites you manage, you’ll stay ahead of issues and set yourself up for long-term success.
