  • Announcing W3 Total Cache Pro

    Update: there’s now a W3 Total Cache Pro landing page for your reference.

    Another update I’ve been itching to share is about W3 Total Cache Pro. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m excited to see the results that our customers are experiencing.

    W3 Total Cache version 0.9.3 ships with the ability to unlock the Pro features, the most notable of which is fragment caching. Since I know that the vast majority of my readership is non-technical, suffice it to say that this feature results in pages being served faster both to you (when you’re logged into the WordPress dashboard) and your visitors.

    There were a slew of updates shipped with this release as well, and you can check those out here and read the full announcement over on the W3 EDGE blog. In the weeks to come, we’ll publish more in-depth posts that show you how to maximize fragment caching in your theme.

    Drop us a note if you have any questions or issues.

  • The Shark Tank book

    I’ve known about this for months, so I’m thrilled to finally share the news: My friend Michael has written the official Shark Tank book, and it’s available for pre-order on Amazon right now.

    The book is available on November 5th and word on the street is that there will be a party in NYC when it drops. Better keep an eye out for details.

  • After all that

    Reminder to myself: successful people manage to get their important work done (growing the business, innovation, streamlining) every day in addition to dealing with the distractions that destroy a normal person’s productivity.

  • On taking “no” for an answer

    Maybe you should. Maybe you shouldn’t, I don’t know.

    What I try to take into consideration is my pride, risk, motivation, what the outcome actually looks like if I get what I want, and what the total cost of ownership for me “winning” is.

    I don’t believe there’s a formula for determining when it’s best to fight for something, but life experience helps, as does being proactive about decision-making as opposed to letting things just happen (as a result of time running out).
