A New Year, With New Possibilities

CMDR Mitchcraft

Reading time: 1 minute

I’m back, and with the new year came some rethinking and restructuring of how I do things / what my overall focus is going to be.  I’m all about transparency, and plus I’d like to share some of my goals for the year, because I want to get feedback from my friends and readers!  And so, here’s what I’ve got in the works for ‘09!

  1. I’m restructuring Dr. WordPress.  It’s been inactive for a few months now, so I’m turning it into a site that will be used to sell…
  2. …premium themes!  That’s right, starting… well, once I get one finished, I’ll be selling premium news themes on my sub-site.  It’ll be good to have Dr WordPress hosting those, since I can’t link to a site that gives away themes…
  3. …which brings me to number three – studionashvegas is releasing a free theme soon.  Sensing a trend as far as WordPress goes?
  4. That’s where most of my focus will be going.  My goal: to eat, sleep, and breathe WordPress so I can make myself an expert on the subject.  I also want to start a PodCast and/or a (bi)weekly radio show on BlogTalkRadio/TalkShoe devoted to WordPress.  But that comes later – can’t do everything in the first month, now can I?

And now… I open the floor for discussion.  Is there anything on this list that is impossible, or just plain stupid for me to do?  What about something that’s *not* on the list that I am stupid for not doing?  If I should be doing it, I’d like to know 🙂

    One of the most versitile tags in my arsenal that WordPress gives me is a fun little tag called <?php bloginfo(); ?>.  By itself, it’s not much fun, but when you add in a variable, it can tell you anything you need to know about your blog.  Like what, you ask? name description admin_email url…

    WP-Migrate-DB: Migrating a WordPress Installation in 5 Easy Steps

    Reading time: 3 minutes

    If you’re a WordPress developer, migrating a finished development project can be one of the trickiest parts.  There’s moving parts in many places that have to be taken into consideration, and migration is (unfortunately) where WordPress actually could use some improvement.  However, it’s a necessary evil – one that I’ve done almost daily for a…
