@suredoc Keith Anderson: Future-Proofing Content

description

In this session, Keith Anderson will display for all to see the ugly underbelly of what's in the database of a Wordpress blog and what that means for blog longevity. He will show you what he did to convert to Wordpress from the ancient Postnuke platform without losing search rankings. He will also build a case for you to crack a book and learn some markup skills to save yourself from dialing the suicide hotline if you ever have to change platforms.

If I had my own school of rock, what would I pick? Glad you asked. This section of my site contains a growing list of my 100 favorite rock albums. They are picked for completely subjective reasons, meaning I think the albums are important and provide excellent examples of what makes rock music. Beginning December 8, 2009 I started my 100 Days of the Best Albums Ever. There's more to come. Enjoy.
