Backup your WordPress database with this plugin
Over on Yoast weblog, he discusses the benefits of a WordPress plugin called 'Online Backup for WordPress'. It's a plugin that backs up your WordPress database to a server for free. If you aren't backing up, stop reading this post right now and install this plugin.
Start with a BLANK WordPress Theme
If you are looking to create your own WordPress theme from scratch, sometimes starting from a blank theme makes more sense.
Blank is a WordPress theme with all the functionality of a typical WordPress theme but almost none of the styling. The idea is that when starting a new theme, it is far easier to use this as a base then a theme that is already finished and styled.
WPBeginner is a wonderful resource for the newbie WordPress blogger
Today I discovered WPBeginner, an excellent site devoted to the WordPress beginner.
"Everyone starts out as a beginner. We have created the perfect guide for you so you can maximize the potential of your blog."
A post I found on the site, 21 Most Useful Time Saving WordPress Shortcuts, is especially handy since I'm a firm believer in using the keyboard as much as possible instead of the mouse. For instance, when you are typing your next post, try this command to make a word bold: Alt+SHIFT+b.
I've added WPBeginner to the hand-picked assortment of WordPress specific blogs that flow through Become the Media. Just click on the 'WordPress Blogs' tab and you'll always find the latest posts from the best WordPress focused sites on the net.
