Let’s be spontaneous. At the moment of writing the time is 4.30 pm and I don’t have plans for this evening. All I know is that I want to hang out with other WP makers (plugins/theme developers) and business owners and grab a 🍻 together. Or a 🍷, we’re in Paris after all.
3, 2, 1 … and today I’m flying out to the WordCamp Europe! This year it’s happening in the Paris, France and I’m so excited to finally meet some old friends again and make new friendships as well.
My unique t-shirts are starting to be my hook, so I’ll see me wearing the “I’m Primož 🔈 pree-mosh …” labels again.
You don't have to love your work, love what you DO!

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 …

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.
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

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.
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:
