- From class, WP tutorials: "Template tags" in WP are simply PHP functions with a fancy name!
- Bill strongly suggested we not move the site over to a new server (e.g. Dreamhost) in the absence of a compelling reason, due to time concerns. Also, we may encounter problems later with switching the listserve for the newsletter over to Dreamhost.
- However, if the move is absolutely necessary, look into the possibility of getting a free hosting account w/ Dreamhost due to GCJ's 501c(3) nonprofit status?
- Look into possibility of developing under an alternate domain name, obtained from dogster.com
- I need to closely go over Bill's requirements for the dev & test folders, and the creation of the wp-system folder, to understand how the site is transferred over when the time comes (i.e. why dev & test need to be in the same folder).
- We need to keep in mind that because the site is so content-rich, our plugins may place demands on the server's database that could cause problems later on. We may need to create a new DB prefix like "wp_(client name)_".
- Regarding the need for addressing users in poor countries with slow connection speeds, Bill suggested looking into a plugin that would allow the user to switch themes, to something less taxing for a slow connection.
TIME SPENT: 2 hours.
