The introduction of Gutenberg in WordPress has revolutionized the way we create and design content. With Gutenberg's popularity on the rise, content creators are on the hunt for ways to make their content easier and more effective to write. As more and more blocks are added to the repository, it becomes increasingly important to allow a sort of interoperability to them - allowing blocks…
It's a known fact that using streamed footage to create YouTube videos is a fantastic way to repurpose content. However, for a lot of streamers, their music of choice on stream leaves them with a problem: YouTube’s (seemingly random) stance on copyright. Using popular songs is guaranteed to get you a strike, but it’s difficult to know or discern if a lesser-known song is…
I've been doing more video content than ever as of late, and working with video files is one of my favorite pastimes. Between streaming and editing video for YouTube, being able to manipulate video files - especially large ones - is becoming more and more of a necessity. A few days ago, I had an ambitious project: a 12-hour YouTube and Twitch stream. While…
I have a guilty pleasure in that I love streaming on Twitch. A few times a week, I throw on some on some good music, fire up a video game, and broadcast myself sucking at playing video games and hanging out with my viewers. Over the past few weeks, I've found the need to showcase the tracks I'm playing on Spotify to my viewers,…
I have actually swapped over to ClickUp as a Content Calendar (and project management tool) but for someone who needs a more simple solution, this is still a VERY valid tutorial. A ClickUp tutorial is coming soon! Today was a great day at the office: we've been using a super-bloated, crazy to use task-management system for nearly a year, and (after all had been…
Since Twitch released their 'Twitch Extensions' SDK, I've been having a lot of fun playing around with different things I can integrate into Twitch's panels. I've build a WordPress Panel and I'm working on Tumblr and Instagram Panels (which require a lot more API work). But the crux of everything I've been working on relies on getting data from source to destination in a…
Chances are, you've bookmarked a site to re-visit it later. And, if you have, you've seen the small icon that shows up next to the site in your bookmarks. See the first three? No icon. The final one, however does have an icon - called a 'favicon' associated with it. WordPress, for a long time, didn't have a native way to include favicons -…
There are very few subjects debated so hotly in the WordPress world as the ones regarding "Page Builders". For the unfamiliar, a page builder allows the end user to set up content without needing knowledge of code. While - to the end user - the allure of being able to have full control over design and content is nice, most developers shy away from them…
A few days ago we showed you how to add an SSL certificate - one that you can purchase - to your newly created Amazon AWS Instances. As I was researching SSL certificates, I came across an interesting initiative: Let's Encrypt. It's an organization dedicated to serving up free SSL certfiicates so you can encrypt your site data. According to their website, they have six…
The last few blog posts have been an in-depth tutorial on how to set up an Amazon AWS Instance. And, while the basics were more than covered, I had a few reader asking me about a super important topic: SSL and Encryption. What exactly is SSL Encryption? The short answer: it's that fancy green lock on your favorite sites that keeps information secure. The…
