Some Great Apps & Tools For Managing Your WordPress Site On The Go

If you’re like me, you’re almost always on your smartphone or have your device in a close reach. It’s not because I want to look busy all the time, but that there are a lot of things that are happening online from social media posts, website metrics, responses to blog posts, and content creation to name a few.

I came across this post from WPMU Dev that highlights quite a few of the apps and tools I use as well as a bunch more including:

  • Buffer

What You Need to Know About Managed Hosting [PRESENTATION SLIDES]

Recently I was honored to be a speaker at WordCamp Tampa and FLBLOGCON and my talk was about Managed Hosting. We at Design Theory have been providing this service to our clients for the past few years where we take care of backups, updates, security and more so that our clients can focus on their website content and businesses without worry.

While there are many questions out there regarding hosting at a basic level and the validity or need of an enhanced hosting platform like managed hosting is why I decided to make this talk. Below are the slides from my talks that you can view, download, and share. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us!

Best of DTO Open Ceremony is Tonight!

I’m a little late at posting this, but we’ve been slammed here at Dt HQ. Tonight in Downtown Orlando will be an open gallery of photos submitted that depict live, work, and play in and around Downtown. One of my photos is actually used on the flyer of the event and in Facebook. It’s in the top right corner of (street view) of Orange Avenue. If you’re looking for a fun night out of some awesome photography that is from cell phones to mirrorless to DSLR’s and more you’ll want to check this out.

What I like the most about this event is that is was open to everyone no matter what type of device they have for capturing a photo. This is all about being creative and capturing the City Beautiful. For more information check out their Twitter page or visit the main website or Facebook page. See you there!

 

My Recent Podcast Interview on Hello Tech Pros

I was recently interviewed on a really well produced podcast called Hello Tech Pros. The creator is Chad Bostick, a fellow techie-guy as well as content creator of a 7 day a week podcast. That by itself is worth a second to imagine how much dedication one must have to have produce content like that on a daily basis.

The topic for me being on his show was for Motivation Monday, and I got really transparent with a pretty low experience I dealt with as a web designer. I spoke about what it felt like to be hacked, and continually hacked for about eight months of time relentlessly.

Listen in on the podcast to hear more about that story if you haven’t heard it from me personally. It’s worth your time I promise! And when you’re done visit the show notes page here for details.
