  • WordPress Developer, Coder, Consultant Needed

    Before I go ahead and create another project on Elance or RentACoder for this, perhaps I’ll find you thru my blog? That way you would receive more money for your time. Let’s see… :-)

    I need a seasoned WordPress developer, coder, and consultant for a few hours per week or per month (depending on the amount and intensity of questions and requests I have).

    First, you will assist me in getting a few things straight such as utilizing existing WordPress codex without installing new plugins as well as finding the most appropriate plugin(s) for certain tasks (and setting them up properly).

    Later on I may ask you to handcode plugins that fulfill specific tasks or to modify, expand, or improve existing plugins.

    Ideally, you are an expert in…

    • PHP
    • JavaScript
    • XHTML and CSS
    • WordPress
    • MySQL

    If you feel that you would be the perfect fit then go ahead and post a comment below. Please include a link (or links) to a few of your work examples as well as your hourly rate (in USD).

    If you prefer that I keep your proposal confidential, please indicate so in your submission and it will remain an unapproved comment.

    Payments via PayPal.

  • Protecting Your WordPress Blog

    Turnip has a great post about protecting your WordPress blog and the entire installation, so to speak. It’s a excellent addition to a post by Matt Cutts I read earlier this year giving 3 tips on protecting your WordPress installation.

    To add something to this, what I personally also use is a WordPress plugin called Login LockDown by Michael VanDeMar. It may be similar to creating a particular .htaccess file discussed on the above blogs but may be easier to create using this plugin.

    Besides this, I strongly encourage everyone to upgrade to the newest WordPress version whenever available (currently v2.5) so you close old security leaks and ban attackers.
