PressNomics was mind-blowing! I never had such a great time at the conference before.
It’s exactly a week since I’ve flown in the sunny and summerish Phoenix, AZ. The reason? The PressNomics conf, to meet new people and make new connections. Did the conference meet the expectations? Not only that. It exceeded them all the way!
So what was so special about it? Hmmm, where should I start …

I’m attending PressNomics 5 this week. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Tempe, AZ!
It all started about a month back on a Slack channel when Adam from Astoundify, Rich from ThemeBeans, and Andy from Parallelus convinced me in half an hour to buy the ticket for PressNomics. I’m getting really excited about my trip to the USA which begins only 2 days from writing this.
Guetzli was released this week. I made a quick test, here are results
I heard lots of hype and news about Google releasing and open sourcing Guetzli this week.
Heck, even I’m hyped and excited.
So I made a very quick test on 1 image with TinyPNG, ImageOptim and of course Guetzli.
Yeah, I know, the sample was too small. But still, here are the results:

Would you be interested in more in-depth research with more image and some stats? Retweet the above. If it gets 10 retweets, I’m doing it.
I'm trying out #guetzli on my day to day work. This shocked me now – generated larger jpg than the input png?? (and took 3min or so) pic.twitter.com/EqXdLCK3FA

I’ve done Facebook Live for the first time on our FB Page. Here are results and what I’ve learned
Yesterday and today we went Live on a ProteusThemes FB page. I’ve tried it a couple times before on my personal fb account, just to see how it works.
I’ve decided to write down my experience while it’s still fresh and I remember everything.
The story how I was depressed and what helped me get back on track (embedded reddit)
I put the wrong link in the MailChimp newsletter campaign. How did I fix it within minutes?
Two days ago, I sent a newsletter campaign to about 5,000 newsletter subscribers. I usually use the ‘Replicate’ MailChimp feature. The problem is that the feature leaves the original links in the content of your campaign as well. My first advice would be that you always send yourself a test email and click through all the links. But because you are reading this, most probably it’s too late.
After sending the newsletter I’ve realized that the CTA link is pointing to the wrong URL (to the blogpost instead of the pricing page).
This is me realizing what I did:
How to keep WP installation secure without security plugins
How I turned a refund request to a 5 ⭐️ rating
Today I want to share a little business trick with you. You can start using it today if you are a WordPress business owner, but it can be applied in many other cases as well.
It’s about the small victories you need in order to win on a long run.
This bash script can tell you all software releases in the given date period
At my company, we send monthly updates reports to our clients. They are keen to know which WordPress themes got updates in the last 30 days and what was updated. This means that I have to manually go through all our themes and manually check if the there were any updates for a given theme. We follow semantic versioning and the official theme releases are always tagged in git.
