    Eps 34: Website SEO in 2018 Apr 10, 2018
    Show notes

    Website SEO

    • Write your code correctly
      • H1, h2, h3, p, table, use alt tag on images – 2 for 1 also impacts adaptability standards (screen readers and assistance devices
    • Mobile first
      • Biggest push and newest standards are trending towards (or in most cases already implemented) creating a mobile friendly and responsive website
      • Tougher to do using wordpress vs frameworks like Bootstrap, but always test your mobile views before clicking publish
      • DO NOT USE m. for your mobile site, make your site responsive (scalable)
    • Link building
      • Find ways to get other websites to link to your site. If you are building websites for others the easiest way would be to add a “Designed and developed by” statement in the bottom corner of the site with a link back to you
      • Write guest blog posts for other sites
    • Have good content
      • Put enough on your page to get your point across.
        • A few sentences isn’t going to cut it
      • Make sure the content is worthwhile
        • Images, videos, graphs etc
    • Use a security certificate
      • Google emphasizing that now
      • Get one from your hosting service
      • Could be free like dreamhost or 30$ like ipage for a basic certificate.
        • If you do any type of money collection on your page ie taking credit card numbers etc then splurge on the appropriate version. More expensive but gives peace of mind
        • Not necessary if you are being a portal to services like PayPal
    • Bounce Rate
      • Make people want to stay on your site
      • The faster someone clicks off your site the more it will affect your SEO

    Eps 33: Testing Sites Apr 03, 2018
    Show notes

    Importance of a testing site

    1. You never want to put your code out on an active website if it hasn’t been tested first.
      1. Most importantly – Can break any or all aspects of what is already out
      2. May not show up
      3. Content may not be ready to go live, but you still want to see what it’s going to look like or stage it for release
    2. A couple different ways
      1. Use a subdomain as your testing site ideal for hand-coded websites as well as wordpress sites (hand-coded sites is easier to transfer via ftp vs redoing the work for wordpress sites)
        1. Schaffencreative.com would have a subdomain of testing.schaffencreative.com
        2. Do everything on the testing site while using a “coming soon” page or plugin on the real domain
      2. Use GitHub to manage hand-coded work (useful links below)
        1. Using GIT to Manage a Live Website
        2. What is GITHub And Why Should Your Digital Team Use It.
      3. Use a WordPress Plugin
        1. I’ve never explored this option
      4. Use your local machine (computer) to create and test your site
        1. Should be for more experienced developers only
        2. Labor intensive to set up and get running
        3. Resources;
          1. Set up a local server
          2. How to create a local WordPress site using XAMPP

    Other excellent resource: How to Create a WordPress Staging Site for All Your WordPress Testing Needs
    To sum up: ALWAYS TEST YOUR CODE FIRST

    Eps 32: Custom WordPress Homepage Mar 20, 2018
    Show notes

    Steps:
    1.) Login via FTP
    2.) Find the main index page of your theme
    3.) Download via FTP

    1. SAVE THE ORIGINAL COPY AS A SEPARATE FILE SO YOU CAN EASILY REPLACE ANY CHANGES/ERRORS

    4.) Edit page accordingly. For example:

    1. Remove sidebar code
    2. Remove main page code
    3. Add new sections using html – basic HTML, Bootstrap or any other framework compatible with WordPress
    4. Test your changes, experiment with removing different sections
    5. Search online for tutorials on how to utilize WordPress code to its fullest extent

    5.) Save document as front-page.php

    1. Wordpress looks for front-page.php if it exists and uses that as home

    6.) Upload new front-page document to the root of your wordpress site where index.php lives
    7.) Login to wordpress
    8.) Go to pages

    1. Create a new page
    2. Call it whatever you want

    9.) Go to your settings section.

    1. In settings there is an option to select a specific home page and a specific blog page.

    10.) Select whatever page you created as your specific home page
    11.) DON’T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS
    12.) You are now ready to go to your created page and add content.
    Next week I’ll discuss how to add multiple editable sections to your page editor so you can work around custom content, or simply just have separate chunks of content/code.

    Eps 31: SASS MixIn – Talking HTML Mar 06, 2017
    Show notes

    A mixin allows developers to create reusable CSS blocks. This helps avoiding writing repetitive code. Also allows to make quick changes without searching code for every instance.


    @mixin image-rotate {
    margin: 20px auto 0 auto;
    -moz-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;
    transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;
    }


    @mixin image-rotate-hover {
    -moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
    transform: rotate(360deg);
    }


    img#norm {
    @include image-rotate;
    }


    img#norm:hover{
    @include image-rotate-hover;
    }

    Sitepoint example

    A mixin can take Sass data values as arguments. These values are specified when you define the mixin and given when you @include the mixin. The arguments are then passed to the mixin as variables. Arguments are included in a comma separated list enclosed in parentheses after the mixin name.

    @mixin headline ($color, $size) {
    color: $color;
    font-size: $size;
    }


    h1 {
    @include headline(green, 12px);
    }


    h1 {
    color: green;
    font-size: 12px;
    }


    h2 {
    @include headline(red, 10px);
    }


    h2 {
    color: red;
    font-size: 10px;
    }


    @mixin border-radius($radius) {
    -webkit-border-radius: $radius;
    -moz-border-radius: $radius;
    -ms-border-radius: $radius;
    border-radius: $radius;
    }

    Eps 30: SASS Basics – Talking HTML Feb 28, 2017
    Show notes

    What is SASS?

    Considered an extension of CSS. I consider it a streamlined version of CSS.

    How it works

    • Set up on your personal system – I use Koala to compile my code
      • Done locally then uploaded to the server via Filezilla
    • Create a .SCSS file
    • Write ANY CSS code as you normally would
    • Add the SASS styling code as you see fit
      • variables
      • mixins
      • Code Nesting
        • Putting code inside of code
      • imports
        • Get into it in a future eps
    • Save file
    • Compile code
      • may do so automatically once SCSS file is saved.
      • Compiling transforms your SCSS file into a CSS file

    Benefits

    • Streamline CSS writing – The one change will be distributed accross to all the corresponding instances of whatever it is you changed.

    Negatives

    • You have to learn how to use SASS
    • You have to figure out how to get it to work on your computer, which can be a feat if you aren’t Computer savvy

    Variables

    • Not usable in standard CSS
    • SASS integrates a way to create variables which then translates to regular CSS when compiled


    $primary-color: #113e6d; /* BREWER BLUE */
    $secondary-color: #c1c4c4; /* COWBOY GRAY */
    $tertiary-color: #ffbf00; /* PACKER GOLD */
    $quaternary-color: #294239; /* PACKER GREEN */
    $quinary-color: #b70101; /* BADGER RED */
    $font-stack1: 'Merienda One', cursive;
    $font-stack2: 'Kite One', sans-serif;
    $font-stack3: 'Sintony', sans-serif;

    body {
    background-color: $primary-color;
    font-family: $font-stack3;
    font-size: 62.5%;
    }

    #center {
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color: $secondary-color;
    width: 800px;
    }

    Eps 29: Back to Basics – Talking HTML Feb 20, 2017
    Show notes

    Check your workflow

    Review EVERYTHING.

    • Look at where you work
      • Desk setup
      • Are you in an external office or do you sit in your living room at home
      • Do you need to find a new spot
      • What are you sitting in
        • Type of chair matters
      • How many monitors are you using
        • Do you need a new one?
        • Do you need to add another?

    You can’t be productive if you are distracted or uncomfortable

    • How do you work
      • What is your text editor of choice
        • Does it access FTP?
        • Do you work off of your local machine and upload via an FTP client like Filezilla?
        • How often are you checking your results.
          • Upload changes often and make minor tweaks along the way vs doing giant loads of work and fine tuning later
          • How much time do you waste sweating the small problems vs waiting until the end of the day – or even the project – to move pixels
      • Are you taking time to update your software?
        • Very important, especially if you are using wordpress
        • Checking for theme and plugin updates can be the difference between a hacked site and a site that loads quickly and efficiently
      • Biggest question
        • ARE YOU USING YOUR TIME WELL
          • Biggest distractions:
            • In home
              • Kids
              • Pets
              • Technology
                • Tv or phone
            • Office setting
              • Co-workers
              • Technology
              • Disorganized business
                • Random meetings
                • Too much watercooler talk

    How do you fix the issues

    • Force yourself to take time – maybe 5 minutes a day – to organize your desk, clean up your computer desktop, reorganize files and folders

    On top of basic housekeeping ask yourself this: Can I improve myself

    • Are you keeping up on current topics in design and development
    • Are you trying new resources

    CSS Float – Talking HTML Mar 03, 2016
    Show notes

    A float allows an element to be moved/placed on the webpage

    Float event:

    elements are removed from the flow of the website. Will cause issues with non floated elements.

    Use:

    Float: left, right, none

    Clear: left, right, both

    ORDER MATTERS!!!

    Items in the first position will be placed first.

    Go to itunes, stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts and leave the show a rating and a comment. Ratings get listeners! If you don’t leave a rating/comment then please tell a friend.
