Comment on How to Troubleshoot the WordPress White Screen of Death (WSoD) by AJ

Thanks for the in-depth article Ellice, very well written. With people I’ve worked with, it’s almost always a plugin that’s causing them grief. It never ceases to amaze me just how many plugins some people are willing to install, not realizing it puts their sites at risk.

Nice article. Now-a-days, when my ‘blog is broken, it is usually a consequence of my having done something unfortunate with my theme (which is my own extensive reworking of what was once the WordPress default theme).

But, at my previous host, when my ‘blog was broken, it was usually because their apes had modified a security module in some foolish manner. I once spent hours debugging the problem, with the aforementioned apes insisting that they’d done nothing wrong, only to learn that using some phrase such as “security hacks” in a ‘blog entry had triggered the security module to block the site. (Perversely, the entry itself mentioned that a number of sites on the server that I used had been cracked as a result of the poor security of the host.)

Ellice,

Thank you for your work, and the attention to detail you put into it. Web writing quality has become highly disappointing of late, running completely contrary to well-edited prose in even print magazine pages, forebearers of the blog post. You present your information clearly and link to amplifying work.

And thanks to DreamHost, my own host, for making you available to us!

Bet regards,

Alan Cole

Comment on 7 Tips for Writing Winning Calls to Action for Your Website by Malcolm S

A top tip I’ve also seen is to simply flick through a magazine or website, looking for the ads that catch your eye. Then you can save or take a picture of them, analyse how & why they caught your attention and model off of them.

I’d only add that you always try to improve your blog/website. Don’t leave it as is for a year or two. Test different audiences but don’t spread too thin.

Comment on The Beginner’s Guide to Growing Your Website With Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising by Soumya Roy

This step by step PPC campaign setting up guide is really helpful for beginners. In the advanced level there can be many things to take care of, but most important part is data analysis. Setting up one AdWords campaign is one thing but making it more profitable is another thing. This needs proper understanding of different data we get from AdWords reporting section or may be from Google Analytics tool.
But at a beginner level this post is really valuable. Anyone who wants to start working on PPC, this post is going to be helpful for them. I am going to share this post URL with all my PPC students and I hope they will like it.

I recently went to my first WordCamp last December and it was incredible! There was so much to learn, so many new people to meet, and so much free stuff! I would definitely recommend going to one if you can.

THANK YOU. This has gone well beyond politics and entered the realm of the absurd. Thank you for standing up for your customers. Just donated to the EFF (thanks for the link as well) and plan on doing so annually here forward.

Came back to add another thanks for the link to the EFF. Just donated ($100) and plan to do so on an annual basis going forward. This has gone beyond politics whatever side of the spectrum you live on. I appreciate that there is an org out there which will defend my personal information from this orange buffoon and his ridiculous “government”. I also know there will be inevitably be some moron or possibly an actual traitor who will leave some sort of “MAGA” reply to these comments and that person should know it will have zero effect on the majority of us reasonable, intelligent, actual, Americans. Thank you DH and your legal department.
