For those who are relatively new to WordPress and the administration section of a self-hosted WordPress blog, there is one great security tip that majority of people will tell you right away: Ditch that Admin account ASAP! Though for those who are not setting up a new blog and are using the default 'admin' username still (shame on you) should also look at changing this too. I thought at first it … Continue Reading »
Most readers of my blog will know I have many passions in life (one of which is my relationship with Robyn) though recently, the other two I have been focusing as well, is photography and snowboarding. It looks like those two passions of mine are going to fuse together this weekend up at Cypress Mountain; LG Snowboard WorldCup 2009. Robyn and I first learned about the WorldCup Event up at Cypress … Continue Reading »
One of the aspects of web development and design, or even blogging is trying to find photos which you can use without having to pay for them or paying very little for. Today on Twitter there was a mentioning of a stock photography website that I believe many people might find useful when trying to find stock images for their web layouts or even blog posts. That website is FreeDigitalPhotos.net … Continue Reading »
Every so often I like to look at various aspects of my blog and tinker with them. It's nice to change things up a little bit but after doing a new blog theme for my site, Robyn pointed out the new layout lacked some items it previously had that she liked. The Categories on the sidebar and the Navigation links on the single page. I remember reading (not that I remember … Continue Reading »
Well another month has come and gone in 2009 and normally that means I like to write about my stats of the previous month here at Tyler Ingram dot Com. January has been a pretty busy month for me due to finishing up my move, getting in as much snowboarding time as Robyn and I can and various other activities. Though what I like seeing is the trend of my … Continue Reading »
As I sit here in front of my dual monitors here at work getting ready for my day, I took a quick look over at Google Analytics. Some people will tell you not to look at your statistics for you blog on a daily basis, I agree with them. Why you might ask? Well if you look at your stats every day they won't look like they are doing much … Continue Reading »
One of the websites someone mentioned on Twitter was a service called Pipl.com, a people search for the web. I do like to periodically see what comes up when I Google myself but I was curious what would this people search find on me if I entered my name and country. Luckily it doesn't really give out any information I would not want people to know, or did it? When I … Continue Reading »
As some of you have seen via Twitter I have been starting to post links to a blog called WestCoastAlpine.com. What some of you might not know is what this blog is about, hopefully I can help explain it in case you were curious. If you are into winter activities in British Columbia or just in general I recommend following our updates (you can subscribe to the RSS feed) as … Continue Reading »
The past few days I've been slowly reading the book Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share Their Secrets (author: Stephane Grenier) which I won over at Derek Semmler's blog and there is one point I would have to agree with in regards to being a serious blogger: Don't rely on blog hosting services such as WordPress.com, Blogger, TypePad. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good Blogger or WordPress.com … Continue Reading »
I just finished and confirmed our WordCamp Whistler 2009 hotel reservation for the Fairmont Chataeu Whistler at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. This should be a pretty fun and interesting WordPress Wordcamp as well as a good day for some ski and snowboarding too. Robyn and I are looking forward to getting up to Whistler/Blackcomb for this WordPress event, not to mention get in a couple runs in on Sunday. … Continue Reading »
