Genesis Theme Framework for Beginners

November 5, 2011 by Dee Teal

This is rather an old post (yep, I'm going back to edit it) but it's the genesis (see what I did there?) of my love affair with Genesis the Theme Framework for WordPress.  As things progress with this new incarnation of the Web Princess website I plan to add more of the useful things I find particularly to introduce the Genesis theme framework for beginners, or more precisely, for beginning developers. But, here's where it started, with a talk at a WordCamp. Ok, so by now my session at … [Read more...]

Breach of Security – Popups – Joomla Site

September 28, 2011 by Dee Teal

Dang, don't you hate it when you get a panicked phone call from a client advising their site's been hacked? Yeah, me too. It TOTALLY blows... especially when you've got way more important things to do than sift through an install to find the offending code... As you may have gathered I got one such call this morning. Now, you security heads out there are probably saying... well... if you'd been looking after the site properly it would never have happend... and yes, you're right... … [Read more...]

Choosing WordPress Themes

August 31, 2011 by Dee Teal

I was presented at the Sydney WordPress meetup last night on choosing WordPress Themes and then, having procured said themes, creating child themes. Here's the basic gist of the first message. I'll post the child theming post tomorrow Choose your themes wisely. For me, the imperatives when choosing themes are: That they are kept up to date. Up to date with WordPress upgrades, up to date with security and up to date with current developments in, well... web development.It's at this … [Read more...]

Answers in Genesis WordPress Framework

June 7, 2011 by Dee Teal

I've been spending a bit of time using the popular Genesis WordPress framework (produced by Studiopress) building a couple of sites on it lately, one somewhat more complex than the other. Genesis makes the basic deployment of new sites really, really easy but the learning curve to get used to how to manage things can prove a bit challenging. I'll document some of that learning curve, as I go, in the meantime here is a list of where I'm finding the most useful information, as much for my benefit … [Read more...]

Case Study: The Living Room

October 6, 2010 by Dee Teal

As mentioned on the portfolio page, the development of the private social network for the Upper Room church community was particularly interesting. I'm documenting the process and some of the pitfalls we came across in the hope they may prove useful for other users. The Problem: One person held all the information about all community members and was responsible for keeping everyone up to date with contact details and event plans and information. As the physical community grew, keeping … [Read more...]

Ch Ch Ch Changes.

June 30, 2010 by Dee Teal

For quite some time now, my byline on twitter has outed me as a Movable Type enthusiast, and quite frankly, I would still call myself that.  It's a great, solid platform and I've used it happily since I first hosted my own blog back in 2005.  So it may be surprising to some that when the time came to consolidate that self hosted blog with the original hosted blog and update my theme that I made a decision to make the switch to WordPress.The decision to change wasn't an easy one but … [Read more...]

Flash Banners.

January 21, 2010 by Dee Teal

I've been getting some work lately from designers who are wholly familiar with the world of print design but who, being less familiar with the constraints of web designing and development are leaping into the web pool with mixed results.  It seemed as though it might be useful to outline a couple of the differences and thereby helping me, and them, get better results from the money they're spending getting a developer involved in making their designs work online.  There are a bunch of … [Read more...]

Troubleshooting MT-Static on an Install

March 8, 2009 by Dee Teal

So, it's late in the evening and I get it into my thick head that I need to get on with that project that's been banging around in my head for a while...  installing MT 4.24 on my business server.  I've been messing around with it personally for a while... but now that I need to support myself through university I need to lift my game. I wasn't nervous, I've installed Movable Type (hereinafter refererred to as MT) a bunch of times and had no problems. It's as easy as A) set up your MYSQL … [Read more...]
