It’s broke: how do I fix it? Debugging your code in WordPress
I had the great honor of speaking at WPNYC this past week. I promised to publish my slides. I also wrote a post about the Tools of the Trade slides.
Debugging your code in WordPress: Tools of the Trade
As this is going live I am currently giving a talk at @WPNYC the WordPress New York Meetup group. There are two slides I skimmed over due to lack of time, but they are an essential part of the talk. In order to fulfill my promise to provide the complete story I am publishing this post with the full story. Warning, this blogpost is a bit of a braindump. It is intended as notes to use to explore further.

Example #2: How WordPress Assets Manager Replaced Our Sharefile
Two weeks ago I spoke at WordCamp NYC and demonstrated various ways you can augment your site by replacing or just importing various services you use. I brought three examples, last week I wrote about the first, Twitter. The second service on the chopping block was ShareFile. At the company I work at we were using ShareFile, which is a perfectly good tool. However due to the nature of file-sharing, and since we work with banks who are notorious for their ridiculous firewall/email filter settings, the ShareFile links were getting flagged.

WordPress is unique in that it charges (quite minimally) for the services it provides, and YOU own YOUR data.

WPNYC: Typography – What You Should Not Do
I had the privilege of giving at talk on typography at the New York WordPress Meetup. The video has been posted to WordPress.tv, I hope you enjoy! Note: This talk’s focus is on choosing fonts, not typesetting. There are some mis-uses of quotes and dashes here. Mostly due to bad habits developed as a result of their incompatibility with code.
Typography, how to choose fonts for your site – WPNYC
In this talk I covered what you should consider, and avoid, when choosing fonts for your site. Note: There are captions below the slides when it is in slideshow mode.
