Lately I’ve been building a bunch of landing pages for various projects, courses, and digital events. And ever since reading Marketing Made Simple by Donald Miller, I’ve been putting a lot more effort into them in hopes that they provide better information and convert. To make sure I cover everything I need to, here’s my check list.

As as result, I decided to experiment to see what you could reasonable do, and came up with this Gutenberg Price Table: https://codepen.io/jcasabona/pen/RYvEYd. In this tutorial, we’ll go over some of the things we need to do to make this happen.
I’m teaching a class on 2D Animation this semester and opted to use web technologies such as HTML5 Canvas, CSS Transitions, and Javascript. In this tutorial we are going to use the canvas element to draw 2 cherries with stems. I’m having my class use CodePen for their assignments, so this tutorial kind of assumes that.

If you’ve visited Casabona.Org this week, you noticed that the homepage got a bit of a refresh; I decided to add more color, have more concise and focus content, and tried to give visitors an idea of what I do as soon as they get to the site.

…the of course there was my book, which was published in June and titled Building WordPress Themes from Scratch
I won’t go too in-depth here, but I will describe the steps you need to take to move a WordPress website to a different host.
wp-config.php file info to the new database name, host, username, and password.localhost but not all of them. If you’re not sure what your host is, you should contact the new host’s support.wp_options table (there are two references there). If you don’t change the wp_options table, your site will not work. The best way to change all of the references (most of which being in the posts table) is probably to do a Find/Replace on the .sql file in your favorite text editor after you complete step 2.The good people over at Nettuts+ have published a tutorial I wrote for them called Rock-Solid WordPress 3.0 Themes using Custom Post Types. In it I cover how to leverage 3.0’s new custom types to make it easier on yourself and on clients when creating different types of posts for you website. Head on over there and check it out!
