Creating your own website can be tricky. WordPress makes creating and managing your own website much, much easier. I've created this presentation to walk business owners through the steps.
Getting dumped by a client is tricky business, but you really can get over it and land better, more profitable clients in the future. I wrote a guide on my process to go beyond a client breakup and start scoring new business. Did I miss anything?

How to Make Entities and Influence Drupal - Emerging Patterns from Drupal Con...Ronald Ashri
Drupal 7 introduced Entities as the main unit of data alongside an API to manipulate entities. This is changing the way we can develop Drupal-based applications. The aim of this presentation is to identify emerging patterns of usage to inform further refinement and development and support the spread of best practices for development.
After three years of development Drupal 7 is finally here providing a powerful open source solution that is more flexible and more scalable than ever. Vast improvements in usability and functionality allow site developers to roll out their sites in less time. Now is the time to upgrade your website to Drupal 7.
Join Erik Webb and Jacob Singh for this one-hour webinar where they will show you just how new and improved Drupal 7 is. Attendees will learn:
-How to take advantage of all the new features
-Considerations when upgrading your site to Drupal 7
-Next steps for getting your upgrade started
WordPress is one of the most widely used open-source content management systems for blogs and websites. The reason for this is due to its out of the box simplicity, usability and variety of plugins that can make a webmaster's life a whole lot easier. Need to enhance your SEO presence, try using the "All in One SEO Pack" plugin. Are you looking to add an ecommerce shopping cart to your site? There's a plugin for that too. The Formic team will walk you through the WordPress interface to show off its value and appeal, recommend specific plugins, review how to install it, and of course go over what you can actually do within it, plus much more.

12 Things Your Web Developer/WebGuy Wishes you Knew - all the things your geek doesn't tell you about but secretly hopes you'll someday figure out about your website.
By Nick Armstrong of WTF Marketing
I wrote the sponsor slides for Ignite Fort Collins 13 which took place on February 28th, 2013 - here's what I came up with. Not all of them were seen live. They're meant to be somewhat edgy, funny, unique, or obscure. The ones that were too obscure didn't get shown.
How to overcome your tendency to dilute your message by jumping on every "next big thing" social media platform... and what you can do right now in 12 steps to get back on track.
How to identify and avert Social Media Schizophrenia and Technology Overload and focus on what really matters: creating kick-ass content.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

6. How it all works...
Your domain is like your Street Address. It describes
a place to go.
Your hosting is like your House. It’s a place for
things to be put.
WordPress is the shelves/walls/tables/etc, a place to
put stuff on.
The theme is the paint on the walls, decor, etc.
Your content is the stuff on the shelves/walls, etc.

.Org
Self-hosted (you buy hosting)
Self-promoted (no built-in community)
Highly customizable (custom themes, custom plugins)
.Com

Tuesday, March 8, 2011
14. Wait, No Blog?
Remove the blog entirely or just move the blog to
somewhere besides the front page.
Here are the steps:
1 - Create two pages. One called “Home” and one called “Blog” (or
whatever you want them to be named).
2 - Go into Settings -> Reading and set “Home” as the Front Page. Set
“Blog” as the Posts Page.
3 - ALWAYS leave the *Page* called “Blog” blank. It’s just a container
now - not where you write posts. (You still write posts under the “New
Post” menu option).
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
15. Blog Terminology
Blog vs blog post - Be very careful. Your “Blog” is your website. A
“blog” or “blog post” is an individual article on that website.
Tag - Key words or phrases associated with this particular post. Pick
3-5.
Category - Think of these as folders to organize the types of posts you
often write about. For example, if you’re a vet, and you wrote about
dogs, you’d put the post into the Dogs category (as opposed to the Cats or
Birds category). A post can belong to more than one category.
Trackback/Pingback - A link to your Blog from another site, which
creates a reciprocal link in the comments section. You can delete these
like comments (if, for example, the trackback was spam).

17. Let’s Check Out Some
Themes and Customize
Them
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
18. You probably don’t want to
hear this, but...
The -best- way to make sure your site
looks and feels like your brand is to
have a custom theme designed for you.
For moderately complex designs, expect
to spend between $2,500 to $10,000
(depending on your local economy)

22. ...Widget Come Back
To add a widget to
the sidebar, just
click and drag it to
the sidebar until a
dashed box appears,
then drop it there.
You can rearrange
widgets the same
way.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
24. Posts vs Pages
Posts are dynamic content that are frequently updated
by you.
Pages are for static content that doesn’t change very
often.
Think “Today’s News” (post) vs “About Us” (page)
A blog page (created automatically for you, unless you
customize) is a special kind of page that shows posts.
Newer posts stack on top and push older posts down (into
the archive).
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
25. Add a New Post
On the WordPress Menu, click on
“Add New” under the Posts menu.
Note that this is a collapsable/
expandable menu.
Collapse the menu
Edit brings up a list of existing posts
and drafts.
Post Tags shows you all the “tags”
you’ve used.
Categories shows you all the
“categories” you’ve used and allows
you to edit them.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
26. Minimal Outlines
WordPress recently minimized what they show on each page.
Here’s how to fix it.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
27. What you see is what you
get view vs HTML view
Title
Add a picture
Publish or Update (save)
Post body - write your content here.
300-500 words is the usual guideline,
but write for your audience. Select or create
appropriate categories
Excerpts are helpful descriptors of the blog post - I use the
single paragraph that best exemplifies the post.
Don’t worry about this.
Don’t worry about this.
Enable/Disable comments and trackbacks Add 3-5
keywords or
phrases
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
28. More Post Options
Save without making public Preview without publishing
You can create
Category hierarchies.
For example, if you
Draft/Review/Published
talk about Dogs, you
can create a Dogs
parent category, and
Large Breed and
Small Breed child Public - visible to anyone
categories under Dogs. Password - public, with password
Private - must be logged in
Publish now vs future
Add as Parent or child of ... Publish or Update (save)
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
29. Adding/Editing Images
Rotate/center
Scale = resize
Title and Alt text can be the same
Crop = cut
Add a link here
Aligns with text
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
30. New Link Options
You can easily link to
internal content now (via a
search box or recent posts list)
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
31. Pages
Exactly the same as posts, but:
No Tags
No Categories
No Excerpt
Pages can be children of other pages
Pages can have templates (advanced)
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
32. Same as posts
Title
Publish or Update (save)
Page body text
Select a parent for this page
Enable/disable comments and trackbacks
Don’t worry about these
Order for menu
purposes
Don’t worry about these
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
33. Page and Post Management
Edit page New page
content
Preview page
Delete page
Edit tags, category, title - not content
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
34. Blogging Best Practices
SEO isn’t magic.
SEO (search engine optimization) happens when you put your ducks in
a row.
Focused posts, with well-chosen, appropriate keywords, a well-chosen,
keyworded title, and a well-chosen category go a long way to improving
your rankings.
Plan - then write!
Your blog should have a definite niche.
Our Vet example continued - know what topics you’re likely to be
blogging about and create categories and structure beforehand.
It’s okay if this structure changes over time (it will!)

drop-down box and
click “save”
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
41. Users, Subscribers, Etc.
Username is the default “display
name” - you can change this to the
First Name, Last Name, Nickname
or combination.
Certain themes link your website/bio
info.
Roles:
- Subscriber - can access “Private”
areas.
- Contributor - can write posts but not
publish them.
- Author - can write posts AND
publish them.
- Editor - can edit others posts.
- Administrator - can edit site.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
42. Best Practices for Users
Do not give a user more permission than they
need.
The fewer admin accounts, the better.
STRONG PASSWORDS.
- 1 letter
- 1 number
- no whole words
- 1 symbol
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
43. Comment Moderation?
“Lefties” say: Let everyone comment.
“Righties” say: Hell no. Sign up first.
Users say: Why the hell are you making
me jump through hoops?
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
44. The “Best” Answer:
Disqus (no site-specific login)
Akismet (strong spam filtering)
Common Sense
Apologize (Actually, say “Sorry”)
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
46. Pretty URLs
This prevents your listing in search engines before you’re ready.
These settings control your
“pretty” URLs - and improve
SEO on everything but
Numeric and Default.
If you have a lot of pages and posts, starting with a number (like year) is vital.

HootSuite’s ow.ly links and Google’s
goo.gl links are just two more.

57. Best Practices
Do not search for the “cheapest” solution.

Prepare documents with all your log-in
and account information.
Search for coupons before purchasing.

58. Finally
Do not feel “stuck” with one WordPress
developer. We all charge different rates,
we all have similar skill sets.
The differentiating factor is the care and
consideration they give to you as the
client.
