Saying Goodbye to SEOAly

By Alysson

To everything (turn, turn, turn)There is a season (turn, turn, turn)And a time to every purpose, under heaven After more than a decade as SEOAly, it's time to say goodbye. It's been quite a roller coaster ride. I've met some truly wonderful people on this journey and I couldn't be more grateful for all the help and support I've received from this crazy-awesome SEO community over the years. There are simply far too many people to thank individually, but I trust you know who you are and … [Read more...]

$250 Website For Progressive Political Candidates

By Alysson

The political landscape is changing. People who never even considered running for public office are throwing their hats in the ring. And America will be better for it. This was always supposed to be a representative democracy… a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. "Career Politician" was never supposed to be a thing. Politics was never supposed to be a life-long vocation. And We The People have had enough of the status quo. There are a lot of progressives running for … [Read more...]

So… you think you can’t afford a website, eh?

By Alysson

Maybe you've always wanted your own blog, but you didn't know where to start. Maybe you've already got a little few-page website, but it was built in 2006 and you're borderline embarrassed to think that anyone even sees it. Maybe you're a tiny start-up and you know you need a website, but you thought you just couldn't afford to hire a pro to do it for you and you can't bring yourself to add "building a website" to your already massive to-do list by going the DIY route. If you fall into any of … [Read more...]

Add A Shortcode To A WordPress Text Widget – How To Guide

By Alysson

Have you ever tried to add a shortcode to a WordPress text widget?  Didn't work out too well, did it?  That's because WordPress doesn't provide native support for adding a shortcode to a text widget.  Luckily, getting WordPress to cooperate couldn't be simpler. And yes, I'm sure there are plugins out there that will accomplish the same thing. But why install yet another plugin if you don't have to? Exactly. In order to add a functioning shortcode to a WordPress text widget, simply add the … [Read more...]

GENESIS FIX – Fatal error: Call to undefined function genesis_upgrade_2007()

By Alysson

Genesis Framework

I recently attempted to upgrade the Genesis framework on one of my client's staging sites.  I received the following error message, but was not able to find documentation of a fix through a quick Google search or via the StudioPress support forum: Fatal error:  Call to undefined function genesis_upgrade_2007() ... /wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/upgrade.php on line 425 Since I couldn't find a solution to my dilemma as quickly as I'd hoped, I went ahead and submitted a support ticket … [Read more...]

w3 Total Cache & Canonical URL Issues

By Alysson

Lightbulb Moment

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed a tweet from me a while back lamenting a conflict between a caching plugin and the 301 redirect from non-www to www (or vice versa - whichever is the preferred URL for a given site).  From time to time I check to make sure that the non-www URLs of pages on my site are being properly redirected to the www URLs. Some time after I started using the w3 Total Cache plugin, that stopped happening.  I was not bursting with fruit flavor, but … [Read more...]

Plagiarize Me, Will Ya? Tsk-Tsk, Naresh Joshi

By Alysson

Before I embark on my latest rant, let me make it clear that Naresh Joshi is not your run o' the mill scraper.  I don't really spend much time worrying about or warring with scrapers over stolen blog content.  There are a number of ways to use their douchebaggary to your advantage and even have a little fun at their expense, as my pal Gerald Weber illustrated. This, however, is egregious plagiarism with direct and malicious intent to deceive.  Yet another piece of evidence to justify … [Read more...]
