Using your personal website as a proving ground for new projects is one of the best reasons to have a personal website. For a long try I wanted to try the whole WordPress to static HTML route, so one Saturday afternoon I gave it a shot. I started out by installing Simply Static WP plugin. It is fairly [...]
Please note: this is just a lab, not a "production ready" environment. Not secure. I'm using my blog to document my own journey learning WordPress and hopefully to connect with people that I can help, and who can help me get a stronger foundation in AWS.

In December of 18, Microsoft announced their plans to "adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop" I just about lost my mind.

(also apologies in advance) I'm not really [...]

I've gone back and forth about doing this for a while, and decided to drop the hammer last month. I wanted to do the [...]
It doesn't matter if you are a blackhat, whitehat, or somewhere in the middle: understanding how footprints work is a huge part of what SEO is all about. Below I'm going to briefly outline a list of SEO footprints I've collected over the years. The name of the game with footprints is correlation. Does Google Adsense share information with [...]
A while back we did a post on how to post photos to Instagram from a Windows 10 PC. It was a really technical post that involved setting up a Virtual PC inside your computer and installing the desktop version of Android. Not exactly the best method. This new method is super easy, and will truly revolutionize the way [...]
I get a lot of emails, tweets, etc asking me what are the "default" settings I use on WordPress websites, so thought I'd put a post together. Here are my SEO 'settings' for most WordPress websites: Tags For new sites, I do not use tags of any kind. Older sites, like this one I never had a policy [...]
