As much as I enjoy poking around the admin of a WordPress site (especially now, as I begin to learn more and more about development), I have just been provided with a tool that will allow me to blog with greater ease. Oftentimes, as I sit down and attempt to write, I find myself distracted by some administrative task that may, or may not, need immediate attention. This tool, however, removes those distractions. I can simply write and not be drawn into a rabbit hole by some quirky way in which the WordPress admin doesn’t quite suit my needs. My mind then begins thinking on a fix … at that point, my creative moment is hi-jacked by technical thoughts.

Desk Publishing Machine.

I have been provided with a pre-alpha build for development testing. This is a new product from John Saddington, developer of Pressgram. It is birthed from the same philosophy as that which brought about Pressgram – digital publishing should be simple.

So, what does this mean for me? I will have opportunity to post distraction-free more regularly and will be partnering with a team of individuals to provide feedback for this application. What does this mean for you? You’ll get to hear from me more often in the upcoming days.

We are in the business of pulling down walls and obstacles to online communication. Will you join us? Visit pressgr.am and desk.pm for more info on these fun projects and folks I’ve fallen in with.
