Gordon Wright (gwmusic) WordPress Goes to College: A Case Study | J. Gordon Wright. Last weekend I had the honor to speak at WordCamp Chicago, an impeccably-run conference focused exclusively on users of WordPress. Seriously, it’s amazing how high quality the programming and organization were, considering the whole thing is run by volunteers. Of course I learned a ton at the panels I attended, and it was immensely valuable to connect with so many smart and committed developers and webmasters. But all of this made it especially rewarding to share some of my own experience at my talk, “WordPress Goes to College: A Case Study.” Specifically, the case study was about the WordPress website I recently launched for Erikson Institute, the graduate school where I work. Higher education websites tend to have a lot of moving parts, so Joey and I had to cook up a lot of interesting customizations, while still being careful to respect the core of WordPress.
After that learning curve, I was eager to share some of the solutions we’d found. WordCampChicago: @gwmusic giving props to... Gordon Wright. VaultPress - WordPress Backup and Security. WP Engine.
