WordPress has been growing sensationally as the tool to use for Blogging. We’ve compiled a list of things that are good practice and you must do if you are a pro wordpress blogger or developer.
Writing/Blogging Workflow
- Keep it updated. Publish it later. Keeping it updated can be a laborious, arduous task. In order to do something like this I highly recommend writing 2-3 articles at a time and publishing them later at another date.
- Use Shortcodes. Shortcodes can save you a lot of time and provide you with text and bbedit type shortcuts. Using text like: [shortcode]. It replaces the need with formatting text and easily allows you to insert a template or snippet.
- Editing offline? Use Google Gears to kick your writing abilities offline. While using Google Gears Turbo can write, edit things locally then sync them later.
- Write posts via email: This is something people tend to forget about only because its such an unutilized feature. But with the ubiquity of smartphones it makes sense to write posts via email. (Thanks to @dmassad for the tip.)
Mobile Design
- Do you have an iPhone? WordPress.org is creating an iPhone application just for the iPhone to keep your blog updated
- Update WordPress by Text Message using Twitter Updater
- iPhone themes for WordPress: WP Touch , iWPTouch
Backing Up Data
- Importing and Export Feature – Keep your posts backed up on your server as well as multiple different places.
- Use the Backup Plugin to automatically

Flutter has nearly no documentation. and the video is really hard to understand. Once installed, it’s even more confusing. I stick with the custom fields template plugin. Anyone know a way to setup a filed on wordpress that basically acts as an include? for example a footer note which needs to be the same on everypage.

while animal “activists” terrorized chefs’ families and children, vandalized businesses, and strong-armed retailers. But even though chefs like Wolfgang Puck — for instance — suddenly discovered their preference for fluffy cute ducks over their fellow chefs or their traditions and headed for the lifeboats, a few lone heroes stood tall, proudly

I’m actually giving away 2 copies of the e-book on my site – check out the details about the e-book and the giveaway here – I think you’ll dig it : http://bit.ly/lq20Ff
