    Job Opportunity

    BlueChip Power in Lake Mary is looking for a freelance webmaster with solid experience in WordPress.

    Experience in CSS, XHTML, PHP, and Javascript are a MUST – as well as experience getting WordPress to do what YOU need it to do.

    You need to be comfortable modifying someone else’s code (like a WordPress plug-in or theme functions) in order to make it work for you (and how to keep those changes when updates come).

    Experience using a CDN is helpful (especially Amazon S3 and Cloudfront) and the ability to work with other PHP web-based applications and the Smarty Template system. A good understanding of site optimization and using tools like YSlow, and Google Page Speed too, along with the Plesk control panel.

    If you can work from sometimes vague requirements, and still keep things humming along, then this is for you.

    You need to be a self-starter, and motivated to get the work done, sometimes with very short lead times.

    NO third party resumes are being accepted for this position.

    Please email your resume to careers@advancedsolarphotonics.com or fax to (407) 333-9143

    For specific questions about the actual job (not salaries, etc.), then feel free to email me: ron@blaisdell.com

    Connect Lakeland 

    Good afternoon all.

    I was hoping to find out if anyone would be interested in working on a volunteer project in Lakeland. We are in the process of building a community web portal built on wordpress and we need to add some experienced developers into the ranks.

    We hope to develop a platform with functionality that is not currently freely available today.

    If you interested please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Hi y’all fellow Orlando WordPressers. Glad I discovered you.

    I’m experiencing something weird lately. My blog stats have plummeted in the last few weeks. I mean, shrunk by two-thirds.

    The drop is so sudden and dramatic that I have to wonder if it’s accurate.

    The only thing that has changed about my blog is that I started allowing Google ads on it a few weeks ago.

    It’s perplexing. If my abysmal stats continue, I can see Google taking the ads off my site because I’m now not delivering the numbers they require.

    That doesn’t bother me. But I’d sure like to know what’s going on….

    I’ve just finished setting up my blog. http://www.crystalsingingbowls.ca/energy_talk/
    I’m very proud of it because I’ve done it from scratch to match my website. I’ve added and customized some plugins. I’ve just purchased the pro version of the Event Calendar and now looking to integrate Eventbrite into it. Unfortunately, I’m having problems with EventBrite integration but I’m working on it.
    I look forward to joining you in person between Nov and Apr ( a beer sounds good). Until April, I’m in Ontario.

    Changing Category Names without breaking links? 

    Hey all, thought I’d toss this out there to see if anyone has an easy solution. I’m in the process of restructuring a blog which will entail renaming categories, and moving some posts from under one category to another. Is there a plugin or easy to way to make sure none of the previous links will break?

    I’ve done some googling and all I can seem to find are plugins for updating if you change the permalink structure. Unfortunately I’m keeping the same structure, just renaming/moving things.

    Suggestions?

     
    • Mark 3:25 pm on May 17, 2010 Permalink

      if you are using the get_permalink($id) and get_category_link($id) functions then nothing will break. If they are hard-coded paths then you’re SOL

    • 61pixels 7:42 am on May 18, 2010 Permalink

      Update, guess you learn something new everyday. Apparently WordPress has something built in to handle this. I changed all of my category names and moved categories around to different containers, and the old original links still work just fine. Pretty cool. I’m just curious if they are doing 301 redirects automatically or it’s something else going on.
