    Just started using WordPress last week for my website and I find it easy to use and update. However, I’m really stuck on what the BEST plugins and things that are out there. There is just so much information out there that it is hard to find a good one. Whats the best one to sell CD’s, T-Shirts and tickets to concerts? Great interview!

      Robert, try this one: http://getshopped.org/

      It’s an incredible eCommerce plugin and will handle selling all that stuff. It’s free with some upgrade options.

        I’d like to rescind my previous recommendation and recommend WooCommerce. After a lot of time wasted fighting to get any kind of support for WP e-Commerce (linked above), I’ve found WooCommerce: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/ to be far easier to use, and the support is awesome.

    I also always have to answer the question: “WordPress works for sites that are not
    Blogs?”

    I made a report to the website of Terra in Portuguese where I talk about it: http://bit.ly/hfYfOC

    Excellent interview, gave me a lot more insight to what’s behind WP, and really confirmed many of the thoughts I’ve had.

    I really like how you explain WordPress is a publishing tool, allowing the author to be an author. I look forward to more!

    Hi Matt, I just watched the above video on WordPress.tv. Really interesting interview.
    However I noticed one thing. You mentioned that you ‘re trying to avoid photo galleries where a new page is loaded for every single image. Well that’s exactly how your photo gallery here on ma.tt works. Just saying..
