Over the past couple years, I’ve received hundreds of emails from people with questions related to WordPress: “What plugin should I use for video? What theme is best for custom coding? How do I migrate my site to a new server? Can you fix my hacked site?”</p> <p>To capitalize on the time I was spending responding to all these questions, I started a Q&amp;A blog and an online persona called “Ask WP Girl” at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://askwpgirl.com/" target="_blank">http://askwpgirl.com</a>. With her “mighty MacBook Pro,” this persona built a reputation around town and has reached further via the blog. Even my stepson was surprised when his geeky twenty-something friends informed him, “You know your stepmom is WordPress Girl, don’t you?” I was surprised it worked, too. I guess all you really need is a Gravatar and one popular blog post.</p> <p>WordPress security didn’t really dawn on me until a couple years ago. I was cruising through some Tweets (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://twitter.com/askwpgirl" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/askwpgirl</a>) and came across a post that enlightened me on the inherent vulnerabilities of PHP and MySQL (of which WordPress is made). It hit me like a ton of bricks that I was doing my clients a huge disservice by building their sites and having no plan for maintenance or backups. I also realized that every student I taught at BDA needed to know about these inherent risks before their sites got hacked as well. So, I started teaching WordPress Security Essentials. It’s a three-hour class that I’ve boiled down to 40 minutes for Denver WordCamp:</p> <p>10 WordPress Security Myths that Leave You Open to Attack</p> <p>AND</p> <p>8 Simple Things You Can Do to Avoid Being Hacked</p> <p>Protecting yourself against hackers is sort of like fending off the borg. In this presentation, I will address the PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE most hackers use and how you can protect your site against the majority of these simple exploits and known vulnerabilities.</p> <p>Join me at 11:30 on Saturday for not-to-overwhelming and hopeful conversation about keeping your sites more or less hack proof. </p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <div class="entry-utility"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/category/speakers-2/" title="View all posts in Speakers" rel="category tag">Speakers</a> </span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="tag-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">Tagged</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/angela-bowman/" rel="tag">Angela Bowman</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/hacker/" rel="tag">hacker</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/security/" rel="tag">security</a> </span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/12/speaker-spotlight-angela-bowman-10-wordpress-security-myths-that-leave-you-open-to-attack/#respond" title="Comment on Speaker Spotlight: Angela Bowman | 10 WordPress Security Myths that Leave You Open to Attack">Leave a comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-utility --> </div><!-- #post-## --> <div id="post-1213" class="post-1213 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-sponsors tag-managed-hosting tag-page-ly"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/10/sponsor-guest-post-page-ly/" title="Permalink to Sponsor Guest Post: Page.ly" rel="bookmark">Sponsor Guest Post: Page.ly</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/10/sponsor-guest-post-page-ly/" title="7:18 pm" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">October 10, 2012</span></a> <span class="meta-sep">by</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/author/tekhne/" title="View all posts by Tekhne">Tekhne</a></span> <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-bull">&bull;</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/10/sponsor-guest-post-page-ly/#respond" title="Comment on Sponsor Guest Post: Page.ly">Leave a comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Hi there, WordCamper.

My goal is to replace our legacy computer systems with WordPress powered alternatives.</p> <p><strong>What will you speaking about?</strong><br/> I&#8217;m talking about how newspapers are using WordPress as an application platform. Not just publishing websites but also producing the printed newspaper, managing ads and even subscribers.</p> <p><strong>Who is the target audience for your presentation?</strong><br/> This is a not a hard core dev talk, but I am prepared to talk generally about lessons learned when scaling WordPress and operating a high profile site.</p> <p>Beginners and devs alike may enjoy hearing how WordPress is used in novel ways, and the profound impact it can have on an organization.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope WordCampers will get out of your session?</strong><br/> Primarily I hope people will think differently about what WordPress can do as a application platform, specifically it&#8217;s use by the publishing industry. My dreams would come true if someone used this technology to help other newspapers evolve and grow</p> <p><strong>Do you have a WP hero?</strong><br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://twitter.com/#!/mitcho">@mitcho</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://twitter.com/#!/nacin">@nacin</a></p> <p>Because these two people most inspired me to get involved and contribute back to the WordPress community.

But it wasn’t until just about two years ago that I started working with Version Control systems like .SVN and .Git. At first it seemed too complicated to be useful, but it wasn’t long before I was slapping myself on the forehead: why did I wait this long !</p> <p>At WordCamp Denver, I’m going to deploy a brand new presentation that we’ve developed about the best practices of using .git for version control called “Deploying code with .Git: Everything you always wanted to know, but were afraid to ask.” The hope is that by demystifying the major concepts behind .Git, as well as version control in general, we can further increase the adoption version control in the WordPress Community.</p> <p>The presentation will be hosting agnostic, so every developer interested in version control can come and apply the best practices we’ll put forth to their WordPress site. We will stay pretty technical, walking through concepts like creating a repo, committing files, versioning, and using .git to work in teams and avoid “Cowboy Coding.” We’ll also compare .git to SVN and explain why .git has some key advantages for WordPress developers. There will be a walkthrough with screenshots to show you the deployment process, and we’ll conclude with your questions.</p> <p>If we run out of time and you still have questions, we can keep the conversation going over beers at the afterparty <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357im_/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley"/> </p> <p>See you all at WordCamp!</p> <p><strong>Link to speaker website:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://www.wpengine.com/" target="_blank">http://www.www.wpengine.com</a></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <div class="entry-utility"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/category/speakers-2/" title="View all posts in Speakers" rel="category tag">Speakers</a> </span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/01/speaker-spotlight-mike-van-winkle-developing-for-wordpress-with-git-push/#respond" title="Comment on Speaker Spotlight: Mike Van Winkle | Developing for WordPress with Git Push">Leave a comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-utility --> </div><!-- #post-## --> <div id="post-892" class="post-892 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-speakers-2 tag-endo-creative tag-fort-collins tag-jeremy-green tag-wordpress-backup-to-dropbox"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/01/speaker-spotlight-jeremy-green-custom-meta-boxes/" title="Permalink to Speaker Spotlight: Jeremy Green | Custom Meta Boxes" rel="bookmark">Speaker Spotlight: Jeremy Green | Custom Meta Boxes</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/01/speaker-spotlight-jeremy-green-custom-meta-boxes/" title="3:01 pm" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">October 1, 2012</span></a> <span class="meta-sep">by</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/author/tekhne/" title="View all posts by Tekhne">Tekhne</a></span> <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-bull">&bull;</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/01/speaker-spotlight-jeremy-green-custom-meta-boxes/#comments" title="Comment on Speaker Spotlight: Jeremy Green | Custom Meta Boxes">1 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><strong>Tell us a bit about yourself.</strong></p> <p>My name is Jeremy Green and I live in Fort Collins, CO. I learned how to make websites when Angelfire and Geocities were cool. Two years ago I started <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://www.endocreative.com/" target="_blank">Endo Creative</a>, a small web design and development company. We use WordPress for most of our projects.</p> <p>In my free time I like to ride mountain bikes on the single track around Fort Collins, roast coffee in an old popcorn popper, and read classic novels.</p> <p><strong>What will you speaking about?</strong></p> <p>I will be presenting about adding <strong>custom meta boxes</strong> to your theme or plugin. I recently completed a project that required a lot of custom data entry into specific sections of the site. Using custom meta boxes I created a clean, customized backend that the user admin could use to easily change out data without have to mess with code and layout.</p> <p><strong>Who is the target audience for your presentation?</strong></p> <p>Anyone who creates custom themes or plugins.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope WordCampers will get out of your session?</strong></p> <p>I hope they will learn more about how to utilize the functionality built into the WordPress core. WordPress has lots of extra features built into it, you just have to know about them and how to use them.</p> <p><strong>How do you use WordPress?</strong></p> <p>I use WordPress everyday on client projects. I design and build custom WordPress themes, and create small plugins if I can&#8217;t find what I need in the repository. I also do WordPress support and training for people who just need a bit of help to get their site going.</p> <p>Personally, I have a self hosted WordPress blog that I use to hone my adventure writing skills. And in January of 2012 I organized the Fort Collins WordPress Meetup to help share knowledge and ideas with other WordPress enthusiasts.</p> <p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite plugin?</strong></p> <p>At the moment my favorite plugin is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox/" target="_blank">WordPress Backup to Dropbox</a>. I set it up on all my sites as a quick and easy backup solution. And since it syncs with Dropbox on my desktop and the cloud, I automatically have a backup of my site in multiple places.</p> <p><strong>What is that one thing WordPress doesn’t do that you wish it did?</strong></p> <p>I don&#8217;t like how WordPress handles media files for galleries. It would be great if you could create galleries in a post based on your entire media library, and not just the images attached to that post.</p> <p><strong>Link to speaker website:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://www.endocreative.com/" target="_blank">http://www.endocreative.com</a><br/> <strong>Twitter username:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://twitter.com/#!/greenhornet79">@greenhornet79</a></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <div class="entry-utility"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/category/speakers-2/" title="View all posts in Speakers" rel="category tag">Speakers</a> </span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="tag-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">Tagged</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/endo-creative/" rel="tag">Endo Creative</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/fort-collins/" rel="tag">Fort Collins</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/jeremy-green/" rel="tag">Jeremy Green</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/tag/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox/" rel="tag">WordPress Backup to DropBox</a> </span> <span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/10/01/speaker-spotlight-jeremy-green-custom-meta-boxes/#comments" title="Comment on Speaker Spotlight: Jeremy Green | Custom Meta Boxes">1 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-utility --> </div><!-- #post-## --> <div id="post-755" class="post-755 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-speakers-2 category-wordcamp tag-schedule"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/09/26/schedule-posted/" title="Permalink to Schedule Posted" rel="bookmark">Schedule Posted</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/09/26/schedule-posted/" title="8:23 pm" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">September 26, 2012</span></a> <span class="meta-sep">by</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/author/alternatekev/" title="View all posts by alternatekev">alternatekev</a></span> <span class="meta-sep meta-sep-bull">&bull;</span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113195357/http://2012.denver.wordcamp.org/2012/09/26/schedule-posted/#comments" title="Comment on Schedule Posted">1 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Greetings, WordCampers!
