Interview With Revolutionary Brian Gardner

Earlier today, I had the privilege of interviewing Brian Gardner live for almost an hour. During our talk, we went in-depth on his decision to go open source. We also discussed relevant topics such as themeing in general, the state of themes for WordPress, GPL and it’s never ending grey area and much more. I thought the interview went over quite well. After you take a listen, be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.

  2. Just listened to the whole thing, very nice interview. A little off topic, but I think your sidebar position got messed up on this page.


  3. Jeff, the closing </div> for <div class="youtube-video"> is missing and breaking the layout. Feed free to delete this comment once you have fixed it.

    I think there’s an HTML glitch with your “Listen to the interview” div. First noticed it on planetwordpress.planetozh.com but it appears to be the same here: a div is not closed.


  5. Oops, didn’t see Kaspars’ comment :)


  6. I have no idea what the heck the youTube Div was doing in the content. I have a similar problem on another post that I’ll have to go edit. Thank you guys for nailing the problem.

    Hope you enjoyed the interview.


  7. I’m just getting on a plane to my next blogging/speaking gig and would love to listen to this on the plane. Could you PLEASE include links direct to the download or instructions on how to download these so I can enjoy them on the road disconnected from the Internet?

    Thanks! And good work!


  8. @Lorelle - Sorry about that Lorelle. I have a bad habit of just slapping some embed code onto the site but I really should provide more than just one option if applicable. Hence, I’ve added a link to download the MP3 file.


  9. Nice timing! I had JUST discovered the Revolution theme and then learned that it was about to go “public” when I listened to your interview of Brian.

    Our OLDstyle family farm/business website is in dire need of updating and re-vamping. I’ve been researching “WP as a CMS” for a few weeks now. …going back and listening to all your old podcasts has been a big element of the learning process …thank you!

    I guess I’m now going to sit on my hands until Nov 1st and see what’s up with the new Revolution.


  10. @Jim Child - Thank you for the kind words regarding the show. It is ongoing and is live every Friday evening on Talkshoe.com at 8PM EST. Stop by to be part of the live show sometime.
