While I really wanted to dive into plugin development with Vladimir Prelovac and talk about his WordPress plugin development book on the show, his Skype connection simply wouldn’t have anything to do with the show. Because the audio quality was so bad, I have edited the show to remove most of the interview so you won’t have to put up with the anger inducing Skype anomalies presented all throughout the first halfhour. So instead of an audio interview, I will most likely send Vladimir a list of questions via email and do things the old fashioned way. Also, David and I certainly had enough WordPress news to talk about which is what we did for the remainder of the show.
