We’ve all been there. At some point in our lives, we have all pushed something live only to have an “oh no” moment where something goes completely wrong. It doesn’t matter how much testing your code underwent, something just went wrong and now it’s up to you to solve it. How do you begin solving this task? Do you dig through the code? Do you blame the IT department? Personally, I can’t tell you what to do but I can shed some light on the situation when events like this occur. Let’s brief through a few scenarios. Continue reading
If you haven’t noticed by now, WordPress’ newest theme Twenty-Twelve, has been all the rage lately, as well as the newest Blank Slate theme based on it. It’s responsive, has a template set for home already with it’s own separate sidebar and the most noticeable thing for developers is it’s cleaner and more segregated file structure. One of the biggest changes and challenges that some developers will come to face is the way stylesheets are called in these themes or themes similar to it. Usually stylesheets are called from the header.php. In these themes, the header.php is cleaned up and these tasks are done via the functions.php file instead. Continue reading

Do you use WordPress for your website? If you do, chances are good that you use at least a few plugins. Part of what’s fantastic about a CMS like WordPress is the robustness of the plugin ecosystem, allowing you to pick and choose which functionalities to install without having to weigh your system down with pre-installed bloatware that you may not need. And with over 25k plugins (and counting!) in the WordPress Plugin Directory, you have a tremendous number of options that can help you add serious extensibility to your site!
But with so many great choices, you might feel overwhelmed. To help you get a handle on some of the essential plugins and extensions available to WordPress users, we asked our Pixafy team to talk about some of their favorites WP plugins.

In an IT focused company you will tend to have a lot of computers, and other devices such as company phones, tablets, etc. Tracking these devices from an asset management standpoint is almost as hard as tracking them from an IT standpoint.
