Have JetPack? Changing Domains? Make sure to reconnect your account.

  • 3 Jun, 2014

I came across a fun little issue with JetPack. If you install JetPack on one domain (such as a development site) and them move the database and files to another domain (production), plus change the domain via MySQL, JetPack continues to work off the original domain. Your users will get comment notifications from the original domain and JetPack […]

When was the last time you backed up your WordPress site? If you’re lucky, your host backups your WordPress site for you. If they don’t, then who does?

It’s time to unfollow, unfriend, and simplify.

  • 2 May, 2014

I love social media, email, apps, and all the wonderful things on the internet, but I also love my offline projects, nature, and my family. Lately I feel I’ve gotten stuck in my phone and it’s time to get out. Time to change the focus and spend more time on other things. On things that […]
