Blogging refers to writing, photography, and other media that's self-published online. Blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been incorporated into websites for many businesses. The hallmarks of blogging include frequent updates, informal language, and opportunities for readers to engage and start a conversation.
Here's an overview of what a blog is, why it's popular, and tips for starting your own blog.
What Is Blogging?
The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name, "weblog." These weblogs allowed early internet users to "log" the details of their day in diary-style entries. Blogs often allow readers to comment, so as they became more common, communities sprung up around popular blogs.
Note
The content of blogs varies significantly. For example, travel blogs may feature many pictures with few written passages, while political blogs may weigh in with wordy takes on the news of the day. The popularity of YouTube and similar sites also gave rise to video blogging, or "vlogging."
Like most internet-based innovations, many entrepreneurs saw marketing potential in having a blog, and the adoption of blogging among the business community helped further increase the popularity of the medium. Not only can a blog be used for marketing a business, but it can also become a home business in and of itself.

Taming Drupal Blocks for Content Editors a.k.a. "Snippets"Brian Hay
Exposing novice users to the Drupal (7 or 8) block admin interface is problematic yet those users still need to be able to edit block content. This presentation proposes a solution I call "snippets" that allows content editors to edit every little bit of content on their site without them needing access to the block admin interface. It provides a much more intuitive user experience.

Common sense, simple security for WordPress. Many presentations have lots of complicated .htaccess tricks, moving/hiding files, etc. However, if people are overwhelmed with details, they tend to not do anything. If I were to summarize what you MUST do for security, I'd say:
1 - BACKUP - find a backup tool and use it. Subscribe to VaultPress.com or host your site with WPEngine.com or purchase BackupBuddy plugin and schedule regular backups. If you're short on cash, use BackWPUp plugin and download your wp-content folder.
2 - UPDATE - All plugins, themes, and WordPress at least once a month or whenever there is a security update. Sign up for an account at WordPress.org, so you'll get notices of WordPress security updates.
3 - DELETE -- All unused plugins and themes. These are your biggest security risks. Delete all unused copies of WordPress you might have installed on your server.
4 - BE CAUTIOUS - Don't use plugins willy nilly. Do some research. They are not all made the same, and they will leave you vulnerable to hacking.
5 - PASSWORDS -- Use strong, randomly generated passwords, all different, for everything - your hosting, ftp, WP login, and email. Use 1Password.com to track your passwords easily and securely.
6 - SECURITY PLUGINS -- Run Firewall 2 and Limit Login Attempts. There are others, but I don't know how well they play with others and what things they modify. You can check out Bulletproof Security and Better WP Security.
7 - BEST PRACTICES - See the slideshow for some other best practices regarding users, comments, etc.
If you just do the above 6 things systematically, you'll be far ahead of your peers! Good luck!

Don’t Use “admin” As Your Username
⁃ Don’t use your domain name either
⁃ Use 2FA if possible
⁃ Make sure to limit login attempts
⁃ Always create a new user for anyone who needs
access to your site
⁃ Only give users a role with access to what they
need
⁃ Change your publicly displayed name
11. CONFIDENTIAL11
Don’t Use Weird Permalinks
The default permalink structure is not user-friendly
http://www.yourwebsite.com/big-news-story/

Don’t Alter “Parent” Theme Files
● Changes made to parent files will be overwritten when updates occur
● Use a Child Theme

Don’t Load Images Bigger Than Needed
● Try to get the image size right before uploading to WordPress
● 1920px is considered maximum width for web

● Consider a lazy load plugin if you have a lot of images
● Use a program like IrfanView to edit images - www.irfanview.com
24. CONFIDENTIAL24
Don’t Add Site Functionality From
Themes
● Try to use plugins rather than the theme to add functionality wherever
possible, this will help to separate design from function
