May 12, 2016 — Ako tvoriť obsah pre webový projekt, od analýzy kľúčových slov, cez formátovanie textu a paragrafov, nadpisov, interného a externého odkazovania, nofollow/dofollow odkazov, až po obrázky, videá, buttony a call-to-action prvky na webe. Spomeniem veci, ktoré možno viete, ale neviete, že sú dôležité, spomeniem veci, ktoré možno nepoznáte a môžu sa vám pri tvorbe vlastného obsahu hodiť a môžu hrať dôležitú úlohu pri boji s konkurenciou. Budem hovoriť z pohľadu človeka, ktorý vlastní stovku webov a živí ho affiliate marketing.

May 12, 2016 — Videl som WordPress weby, ktoré sa načítavajú viac ako 20 sekúnd ale aj také, ktorým to trvá menej ako sekundu. Bez ohľadu na ich veľkosť či návštevnosť. Čím to je? Ako to robiť správne? Rád sa s vami podelím o svoje skúsenosti s onpage optimalizáciou na webe i dimenzovaní infraštruktúry, na ktorej bežia veľké a navštevované, no stále krásne rýchle weby.

May 12, 2016 — Il est très rare que des projets WordPress débutent de manière similaire. Très souvent, on capitalise des connaissances, des bonnes pratiques et autres afin d’espérer faire mieux sur le projet suivant. Seulement, WordPress laisse énormément de libertés. Cela ne nous permet pas de contrôler notre dette technique convenablement ni même notre qualité logicielle.

Malheureusement, le code est régulièrement mis de côté pour tenter de pallier des contraintes de temps et d’argent tout en tentant l’excuse du pragmatisme.

Et si une approche orientée objet avec les méthodologies adéquates pouvaient résoudre une bonne partie de ces problèmes ?

Démarrons ensemble cette approche qui, tout en améliorant la stabilité, la lisibilité et l’évolutivité de notre code, va nous permettre d’industrialiser nos développements.

May 12, 2016 — A major new feature in WordPress was first requested over six years ago in this core ticket has now launched as part of WordPress 4.4. This feature has a dramatic and interesting history. Its arrival has been presaged in changes over at least the last three core releases. Its development has followed an interesting and at-times controversial path involving many well-known core contributors. Its presence has major implications for anyone who develops or maintains themes and plugins in WordPress. The feature in question is Taxonomy Term Meta, and it’s a big big deal!
This session has several purposes:
to provide a brief and entertaining account of the development process and major design decisions involved in making term meta happen, including accounts from the people who developed the feature.
to provide a quick technical introduction to the feature itself and its API.
to discuss what the feature means for WordPress developers and users — in particular for anyone who maintains themes and plugins.
This un-boring session is most appropriate for developers, but also potentially interesting to anyone with responsibility for a WordPress theme or plugin. I’ll be drawing on my experience as a maintainer of several large plugins (including Co-Authors plus) my relationships with several of the core contributors most important to this change and my work at Automattic on WordPress.com VIP, where we’ve spent a significant amount of effort preparing our clients for this transition.

May 12, 2016 — Revelations like Edward Snowden’s about NSA spying, and Google’s announcement that it will begin considering a site’s HTTPS status in its rankings, led to a lot of talk about moving websites to secure connections. Similarly, the rise in ecommerce, and the simplicity with which one can accept payments online, has increased the need for sites to be available securely. With so much terminology that’s likely new, often very similar, and rarely more than a stream of initialisms, this entire discussion can be very intimidating. I’ll clarify basic terminology, offer some reasons why it’s worthwhile to secure a site whenever possible, and share several solutions to cover everything from simple to enterprise needs.

While securing a site can be intimidating at first, the recent introduction of Let’s Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) significantly simplifies the process for most sites. Many hosts have introduced support for this service, which I’ll discuss before delving into options for sites and circumstances that aren’t suited to Let’s Encrypt.

May 12, 2016 — Return on investment is the end result that you want when it comes to your website. Whether it’s buyers, subscribers, commenters, social shares, or some type of engagement, you need to figure out the right formula. A lot of it begins with design and your use of calls to action.

I’m going to discuss what a call to action is, tips on creating a great call to action, and some cool resources to test them so you get the most out of it.
