I tweeted their support to see if we can get a timeline on mysql 5.7

That was my big draw too. That and the Live Links. And working with Git and/or something like WP Migrate DB Pro, syncing can be done up and down very easily for local development. That, and the interface is nice and clean - which is a big plus for me.

There's a lot of potential for back-end add-ons to be made; necessity is the mother of invention, after all. I do work on a team, but due to the nature of our server setup I don't have to worry as much about the environment matching up completely. We do manual migrations into WP Multisite, so as long as I can get database stuff out easily, we're good.

We're changing that, but that's what years (decades, almost) of a decentralized system will do :)

That's the default page. You want to make sure that your virtual hosts are set up correctly if you are seeing that. Right now, the domain is not pointing to the right folder. Double check to make sure you edited your configuration files. Then, reload Nginx.

User and group is www-data:www-data... Look in the nginx config file and change the options to have nginx run as that user.

Check your nginx configuration (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) and make sure you've defined the username and group correctly. It should be "www-data" on Ubuntu, but if you've used a different install, or have a different "web user" username, use that (it may be apache, nginx, or www-data depending on which linux you're using.

I'd check to make sure you copy/pasted the server configuration in, and check spaces. Can you pastebin your /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.conf file so I can take a look?

I'd check your configuration files /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com and make sure that that same directory is created and linked to correctly in the config (I think it was /sites/yourdomain.com/htdocs).

Re: Discussion: Are Blog Comments Truly “Social”?

studionashvegas — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 12:09:27 -0000

With conversations shipping to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media networks, I was hoping there was a good solution to bring everything under one roof. That way, people could still reply on their favorite social network, but it still comes in under your roof as discussion

I'm in the same boat as @Erik Deckers - but instead of co-working I opted for something different. I actually converted our walk-in closet into an office. It's just enough room for a desk, and it's soundproof enough for me to record videos and take calls. I thought it would be claustrophobic, but it's not too bad.

Fun fact: Rhett and Link used to be part of "Focus on the Family", so they have a background in ministry work.

Re: What Is The Place Of Content Curation In Marketing? Part 1

studionashvegas — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 17:57:24 -0000

I think the biggest notion with curation vs creation is that people see curation as (oddly enough) a philanthropic effort. "Oh, look, he's not trying to sell us something time after time... he's recommending resources for us... etc, etc.".

I share tutorials and resources I find, and I get quite a bit of great feedback ("Thanks for sharing!"), but I also get that same feedback on articles I've written personally... It's easier to write one article and share five than to write five articles, in my opinion. But, your mileage may vary!

The wishy-washy argument would be that everything is good in moderation. A little of both goes a long way, I think. To do only creation is exhausting... to do only curation means you have nothing of YOUR OWN to show for it.

It's safe to say that Scott defined the role of what it meant to be the "Head of Social Media" for a company. What he did for Ford in the digital space... some companies will only ever dream about.

I remember doing work for Scott back in the days of Crayon (and Crayonville - in Second Life!), and was really excited when he started working for Ford. I saw him at BlogWorld (now New Media Expo) a year or so later and he remembered who I was - even with crowds of "gurus" and "rockstars" surrounding him.

It's one thing to say that he's great at what he does - it's entirely another to say that he's just a good *person* all around.

Congrats, Scott. The road ahead of you will lead to success, wherever that is.

Maybe it’s like Ravens. I have a murder of sites. At least that’s what it feels like, sometimes

And to be honest, I’m really not sure what I’m going to do at this point myself. There’s SEO benefit, for sure, in linking together sites with similar interests and what-not. But what do you do when it’s not the content that’s similar, but the author? I feel like I’m exploring some uncharted territory.

Which, hey, for a travel-blogger is a Tuesday.

As soon as I figure out what I’m doing, you guys will be the first to know. Until then… by jove, let’s experiment!

I would say that it's the same. This was pulled from the repository, so it's their "official" way of doing it. But, both methods work, so it's personal choice. I'd prefer my way because it's less typing, for example :)

Are the files in your WordPress theme folder, or in an outside-of-WordPress location?

Now's a great time to bring this up, as NPR has their "Creationism vs Evolution" debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham tonight.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/th...

I have a lot of "logical" students in my youth ministry... I've even had the privilege to carry on long, thoughtful conversations with them on Facebook, and even led two of them to Christ.

Questions are good - it means they're hungry to learn. Our job is to turn them to the right sources to get the information they need.

Great post.

That is correct. I pulled that from a previous version of my theme where I had a different "core theme" I was using - standard, by 8bit. Good catch - I've updated it as such!

It was more prominent this year than I'd ever seen in years past... It really makes me want to jump back into podcasting again.

David,

Thanks for posting the link to your recap - I always like to see other people's take on conferences, because I know I can get bogged down in "my way" of thinking. It's nice to get out of myself and look at it from a different view.

My biggest complaint about Sylver isn't his style - it's the fact that he blatantly sold his products from the stage. A lot of people may not know this, but it's specifically in *every* speaker's contract to not pitch products or services from the stage (other than a "here's where you can find me", which is acceptable). The second he started doing that, I walked. I don't care if he did Platinum Sponsor - he violated a cardinal rule, and if he's not going to respect that then I don't have to listen to him.

He seemed like a very entertaining person (I was even getting into the session). But once it hit that point of no return... I bounced.

From your post, I agree that NMX was *extremely* newbie focused - more than I even anticipated. It's both good and bad; good because I get to meet up with people who are just starting out and either need my services or want to connect with me... bad because there aren't a lot of sessions that I want to see, mainly because I've seen them already. That said, I do attend quite a few, and I usually end up leaving with something I didn't know. That makes it worthwhile to me.

Above all, however, I go to network. And to see old friends. That's what NMX is to me :)

Thanks again for commenting!
