5 Things I Learned At WordCamp

When I set this post up yesterday, it was “10 Things I Learned At WordCamp”. Then I tried one of the things I thought I learned and broke the web site. That’s why it was down most of yesterday. :/

So now here’s 5 things:

  1. The reason newspapers and magazines continue stories from one page to another is to optimize ad impressions.
  2. When you set up a new WordPress site, don’t use “admin” as your user name. It’s like going on vacation and putting a sign on the door that says, “Gone for two weeks. The key is under the mat.”
  3. You can register with Google Webmaster Tools and they’ll let you know if there are any security issues with your site.
  4. There’s a really cool interactive infographic called The Evolution of the Web.
  5. I don’t know very much.

One thing I already knew but had confirmed: The folks at BlueHost are magically amazing! For what was broken has now been fixed.

Whaddya mean, “For what that’s worth”? Shut up!

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: A character breaks something that’s important to somebody.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.
