We have made it, it is Episode 500! I would like to give a big shout out to all of you, our producers/listeners, for getting this show to episode 500. This time last year I was contemplating killing the show but some new life has been breathed into it and we are moving forward. One thing that would be great is to have more contributions. I know I contribute in small ways to the show I listen to. While I may not always get an acknowledgement, I hear things I submitted to them so my little contribution may have helped them make a better show.
Note to the Artists who supporting us, we have a new system for submitting art work for the show https://wppluginsatoz.com/artwork/. You can also view the art work from the past. Currently you can see all the submissions for Episode 500 here https://wppluginsatoz.com/show-art-submitted/ and you can even vote on the art work. Please, get over there and vote!! Also, if yo have any feedback about the new system, please send it to us.
Yes, John is pimping out his daughter here, if you want to see her very pretty mug in the live stream it is now up to a $500 donation and until it happens that price will continue to go up… At the rate it is going she will never be live. Someone may want to start a Go Fund me to make her mug live.
Remember, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…
Listener Feedback and Audio Clips
Hey Amber & John!
I just wanted to make a small request in how you announce your plugin scores. You guys currently say, “this plugin which i gave a 4 to, this plugin which i gave a 5 to…” and it sounds weird when you say “to” after the numbered score, because it sounds like you’re announcing another number.
I would like to suggest you say, “this plugin which i rated 4 dragons…” or “this plugin scored 5 dragons…”
That’s it :-)
Keep up the great work!!
