Matt Mullenweg interview – Part II – The WordPress Podcast
The smile, the face, the man behind WordPress. In part I of this series, Matt Mullenweg gave us a lot of information about WordPress.
In this second part of the series he talks about VaultPress; Automattic’s new backup system. Matt explains the features and pricing–then he discusses hosting and their up-times.
He also talks about the community and his involvement in it. Listen to this conversation and learn about what he does, how he does it and appreciate the world this man has built and how it served its purpose to World Wide Web.
Come spend the day in our local Tech Kitchen as we whip up some fantastic web pages with WordPress. We call it “Make it and Take It,” but you can call it a mini miracle, you decide :-)!
I’m not saying that WordPress is easy-peezy-lemon-squeezy, but let’s face it: you’re all intelligent people with a keen eye for what you want in a website. Why let someone else control the wheel? We’ve designed this workshop with beginner and intermediate users in mind. By the end of the day you will have a better understanding of WordPress and sit in the driver’s seat of your own, custom-made site. And the best part is that you won’t have to pay someone else $5,000 every time you need a picture added. (Well, the best part is that you get personalized attention from the best in the Bay Area, but saving money is a close second).

Last, but certainly not least, is content. Today you’ll add pages, forms, and the actual MEAT (or beans, for vegetarians) to your site.
Be judicious!! Think of the things that make you leave a website and work to avoid them. For instance, I jump ship pretty quickly if there’s a ton of content on a single page that makes me scroll a lot. I’ve done my time in school—don’t make me read more novels! Get to the point and get on with it. Break up your information onto a few pages if you need. Read More about WordPress 3.0 Demystified – Part 5
This was originally part of yesterday’s post, however with the bonus there was already too much information.
Don’t panic. Configure is just a fancy computer word for “settings.” What’s your site title? The tag line? Displays? WordPress is so kind, that it will walk you through each of these questions with the greatest of ease. Read More about WordPress 3.0 Demystified – Part 4A
So far in part one we installed configured the WordPress database on the server and uploaded the software. In part two we learned about WordPress Themes and installed Thesis and finally in part three we customized the Thesis theme and added a widget to the sidebar.
Today we will concentrate on some background information with plug-ins. These are additional coding treats that help you and your website perform better. You’ll install one that alerts you to broken links, one that creates forms, another to improve the editor, and the last that makes your site easy to read on mobile units. Below the presentation is my list of “must haves” and a few others. Read More about WordPress 3.0 Demystified – Part 4
