Talking HTML

Have a combination of long term and short term goals.

Break goals into bite sized chunks. If you want to learn a language make weekly checkpoints.

For long term goals have monthly or bimonthly checkpoints.

Know who you are and be realistic about your goals. 

Before you begin down your path it may be helpful to map out your plans. Create a calendar on your phone/computer and use notifications to keep you on track. Join social groups or local meet ups to enhance your experience. If you share your experience with friends, family or even strangers that may go a long way in having accountability to someone more than yourself. Nobody likes disappointing other people.

Give me a rating on iTunes, Stitcher or any other place you get your podcasts.

WordPress Optimization

Welcome to Talking HTML, an audio/video internet thing for web developers who are just starting out

Child Themify WordPress Plugin

allows for easy coding without actually changing the original theme

starts with only the css file but you can add any file that you want.

robots.txt

the code for this file is in the show notes

makes your site more accessible to search engine crawling/indexing

if you use google dev tools you can see what your website looks like when it’s crawled by the google wizards. 1 of my sites looked completely broken. The images weren’t showing up and the content was a bit misplaced. When I added the robots.txt file and looked at it again the site looked as it should. Images were there and it looked like a complete website.

P3 Profiler WordPress plugin by GoDaddy, the hosting company

several different breakdowns of page load speed and how fast your plugins are loading

Optimize your images

Stay away from pngs if you can help it

use JPG, smaller file size by default. Can be optimized in Photoshop to become smaller

Ask yourself if social media share buttons are necessary or if you can get away with linking directly to the source
