ManageWP continues to update their system and service to provide an even more simple migration to their solution by adding a “clone” tool that will help users and website owners migrate. With a “few” clicks you can move your entire WordPress-powered site. I got the notice in my inbox to let me know that it’s now available:
Every road, it seems, runs through a part of the San Tan Valley in Arizona. Consider the facts: In January 2011, Brad Williams and Dre Armeda were on stage at WordCamp Phoenix to talk security – their first in-person meeting. The first time the phrase DRAD was ever used to represent the pair was at the SanTan brewery at Pressnomics in the fall of 2012. The first time I caught wind that a new show might arise was just a few weekends ago at WordCamp Phoenix 2013 (you guessed it, at the SanTan). When it was first reported that Brad […]
Sliders, whether you love them or hate them are a part of our web economy and the way we deliver valuable information to readers. Personally I’m not sure they are done incredibly well but they do serve a purpose and there are enough positive examples to at least not abandon them wholesale. But one of the neat things that Soliloquy brings to the table is a responsive slider system that actually works very well – and it keeps getting better. Take for instance the recent update where Thomas Griffin, the founder and creator of Soliloquy, added a neat crop feature for the […]
Just before Christmas my blog was hacked. If you’ve never been hacked then your lucky, there is nothing worse than arriving at your website, not being able to log in and then seeing a message You got Pwn3d by [insert hacker group] because you disrespected Islam with the film “the innocence of Muhammed” Yes those were the actual words that appeared on my blog and for the record I have never, don’t ever want to watch the innocence of Muhammed, from all reports it is the worse film ever made and was just a troll on Islam but back to my blog. As this […]
If you’ve been a part of the Make community then you know that most teams have regular established “office hours” where things can be discussed surrounding each WordPress.org area of focus: Our P2 remains the primary point of communication to us, but I’m also happy to announce that we will keep regular office hours for anyone who wants to chat in real time. You’re guaranteed to find a moderator (probably me!) if you want to chat, talk business, share concerns, learn how to contribute, etc. As Jerry Bates shares (often known as JerrySarcastic), up until this week there hasn’t been any “official” office […]
I remember when my friend Nathan Smith first launched the 960 Grid System – remember that? It changed my life and simplified a few years of work as I leveraged it for client work, projects, and even began using it in the WordPress development world. Well, that was a long time ago and the successor to 960gs is Unsemantic, which at the core uses percentages instead of set # of columns. Built with SEO in mind as well as with extensibility, it finds the use of both Sass and Compass although there are more than a few of us who will ultimately create own […]
One of the best things about WordPress is the fact that it’s entirely free to use, whether you end up on WordPress.com or go the self-hosted route. And yet despite this fact it can still be an incredibly daunting task for newbies to get started – and I’m talking about true newbies. Especially if you’re a small business owner who’s looking to rock out that first business site on a very limited budget and don’t have time to vet out every single issue that you might have before jumping in, the task can be a bit scary. Thankfully there are sites […]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sl2cJQHMRk&feature=youtu.be This video shows it (not so clearly) that after a fresh install of WordPress on a newly purchased domain that links within the users accounts actually jump to another user’s admin and information! According to the film author:
Looking for useful <code>developer</code> tools? Looking for a list of tools that will give you that quick edge to get started or help your neighboring WP developer, like version control, unit testing, IDE bundles, configuration scripts, and more? Then you should join the folks over at WordPress Gear, which is a community-driven system via GitHub, and make it the best darn repo ever. Fork it, if you want:
Or at least for the high-traffic websites that are considering using ZippyKid‘s hosted solution. This makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons, which Vid Luther shares in his post. One of the neatest takeaways is the fact that they aren’t charging anything in addition for this initiative and he explains that it’s everybody’s responsibility for a better web: Sloppy code on high traffic websites compounds the problem at an exponential rate. Think about it: one page request that makes 1000 calls to the database, multiplied by 1000 requests. We want to make the web a faster place, we’re […]
