I’ve migrated tons of WordPress sites in my tenure as a WordPress developer, but over the years one thing would always bother me: my widgets kept disappearing. I’d dump the SQL database and import it to the new server only to find that every single widget had vanished. So, I looked for a solution. WP-Migrate-DB (despite…

BlogWorldExpo Interactive Map
I’ve recently found Google Map’s “Map Builder”, and realized that with BlogWorld nearing the 2 week warning it would be handy to visualize where I’d be going, staying, travelling to, etc. So, here’s a Google Map to help myself (and anyone who can use it) out. Click here to view the map by itself The…

Breaking Silence
So, I’ve been really quiet on here for a bit. I know, I know – I keep saying all these things about how I want to blog more and never do. That’s my bad, for sure. So, that said, I wanted to give you guys an update on how things are going. People forget that…

PodCampNashville – #pcn12 was (as always) a success!
Today, hundreds of geeks woke up early, strapped on their laptop bags, and converged onto the Tequila Cowboy bar in Nashville for the 5th annual PodCamp unconference.

Question: Adding GIT To My Workflow As A Designer
This is a bit different than my usual post, since I’m looking more for feedback than I am trying to teach something. My typical workflow for doing a WordPress theme is as follows: Design PSD Mockups Develop HTML/CSS from PSD Weave WordPress boilerplate theme into HTML/CSS Take it server-side Finish up with functions and loops…

Adding A WordPress Login Box To A Template
Sometimes, when you’re taking WordPress beyond a typical blog setup, the need arises to leverage the accounts system in WordPress (to purchase items, to access information, etc). Earlier on I told you how to check to see if a user is logged in, but when your only login box is in the back-end, that makes…
