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

 

 

In WordPress always use a child theme.
  - Child Themify (https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-themify/)
  - FTP header.php, footer.php, and index.php
  - Create a robot.txt file and upload it - helps in seo/search
Use this code in a file on its own and name it robot.txt:
User-Agent: *
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Allow: /wp-content/plugins/
Disallow: /readme.html
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/post-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml (http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml)
 

Have a basic index.html template
  - can be opened in any editor
  - makes having to rewrite basic skeleton/frame code null
  - consistency across web pages/ other websites
 

Use Google Analytics (https://www.google.com/analytics/)!!!
  - free***
  - excellent in depth stats
  - as simple as copying and pasting code
 

In chrome use the window resizer Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/window-resizer/kkelicaakdanhinjdeammmilcgefonfh?hl=en)
  - immediately shows screen and port size when resizing the window
 

Don't be afraid to ask for help
  - Google+ Communities
  - Social Media
  - Other developers locally
 

If you don't know how to do something...

Look it up!
  - no shame in consulting text books, internet
