It used to be that the only way to meet someone was in-person or over the phone. During that meeting, you typically gave a first and lasting impression. Today however, you are making that same first impression even while you sleep. If you are not actively managing your online profile, then you are leaving the impression you make on others up to Google. I know, because not long ago I did the same thing.<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise when I Googled myself only to discover that I was not the only Ryan Rhoten in the world. Worse, one of the other Ryan\u2019s was on page one four times because he had recently been arrested, again. Today, I \u201cown\u201d nearly every result on the first 3 pages of Google.<\/p>\n

This session will cover how to conceptually plan and architect your site to collect and store data the same way that the big sites do. Rather than giving end-users the keys to the site and wishing them the best with the WYSIWYG, we’ll look at how to set up a WP site to eliminate confusion and ensure consistency through a properly thought-out WP Admin setup using Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies, and the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Minor code examples will be shown to demonstrate how easy it is to take advantage of a properly structured site, but most of the talk will be discussion-based for ease of access. These are features that everyone can take advantage of today regardless of technical proficiency. Familiarity with The Loop may be helpful, but is not required.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Even directly out of the box WordPress is one of the most search engine friendly CMS’s in existence. However it doesn’t offer everything you need to make your site search engine friendly without doing a bit of customization. This presentation will show the audience how to make their site search engine friendly. We’ll go through various settings and different plugins that are needed to truly prepare a WordPress website for a full-scale web marketing campaign.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Learn how Newark Public Schools (NJ’s largest school district – 40,000 students; 70 schools) cut their annual web site technology budget in half by migrating to WordPress from a closed-source, proprietary, expensive, vendor-controlled SaaS CMS. Hear stories from the trenches about budget battles, angry\/clueless technology vendors, frustrated administrators from one guy with a vision to disrupt the market and bring better web site technology to our public schools.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

This talk will be geared towards WordPress users who have taken the dive into customizing WordPress. The goal is to take them from copying and pasting random code snippets in functions.php, and have them better understand the event driven nature of WordPress. <\/p>\n

In addition to a basic discussion of actions and filters, this discussion will also include coding examples of hooks in action. <\/p>\n

To make this talk more relevant to developers already past the hooks hurdle, I would also end the talk by touching on the concept of adding custom WordPress hooks into your own code.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

As an official WooThemes Ninja, I’ve worked with themes, with plugins, and with stores all shapes and sizes – literally thousands of sites trying their best to sell online, promote their cause, or just break even on hosting costs until they make it big. While adding eCommerce functionality might not be the first thought, there are HUGE benefits that you can create without selling goods – the topic would introduce a variety of methods, in addition to addressing existing store owners on how to better engage their audience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
