Sofia-Dragoman-Godech-Sofia Mototrip

jd — Wed, 13 May 2020 19:00:50 +0000

Here’s a great idea for a quick trip with friends for a Sunday ride. It’s about 123km, takes about a Sunday morning to complete.

You start from Sofia and ride to Dragoman. After Dragoman, you go for Golemo Malovo to have a look at the Dragoman Marshlands. Great photo spot. Also the road to Golemo Malovo is brand new – enjoy reving your bike on this straight piece of road.

After seeing the marshlands, you can go back to the Chepan district of Dragoman and then take the road to Godech. The road is also quite new, road conditions are ok, but be aware of sand and pebbles on road – it might get slippery on the road.

After reaching Godech, you go for the Petrohan road. On it you can get back to Sofia. A flavor twist to the ride is to get to the village of Balsha and then get back to town.

It’s a great Sunday ride, try it and share you opinions!

My talk at the WordCamp Plovdiv 2019.

Title is “WordPress support done the right way or WordPress operations happiness?”.

WordPress support is a topic of epic myth scale. Agencies and freelances have different approaches on how to do it and in many cases it’s wrong. Why? It’s because not that they something wrong, but how the clients feel at the end and how their clients’ websites perform. This talk will discuss some good practices and how to make sure we have WordPress happiness.

My talk at the WordCamp Sofia 2017.

Title of the talk – “Content Interfaces – content quality without technical details”.

I’m touching on the mostly popular visual editors, specifics on content editing, WordPress theme settings and actually to make things happen so that clients do update and use their websites. How we, as developers, to enable content writing and update to be a trivial task rather than a technical frustration to backend users.
