    lossless png compression 

    If google or any yslow optimizer is asking to compress png using a lossless method => a good approach is this program, cli, very simple: optipng.sourceforge.net

    ie in windows, fire a cmd and write: optipng.exe -u 1 filename

    it will save up to 75-80% of a png file (if it was 1mb, it will be 200kb!) without affecting at all the quality. The “magic” is that web browsers support a special kind of compression that neither photoshop or the pc support. if you open a compressed png in photoshop it will look awful..

    Jetpack? 

    Do we have a Jetpack account to use across all our sites?

    Notifications and Comments Subscriptions 

    Hey all, I have just installed the plugin to receive notification via email every time a new post is published.
    You should all log in to your account and find the Subscribe2 option to the left. You can edit which categories you are subscribed to, and to which users. There is also a plugin that will allow you to subscribe to comments.

    Measuring website performance/issues, improving network architectures 

    This tool I use may be useful for testing our sites’ performance before we ship them. It gives a lot of feedback regarding network traffic and how well the network achitecture was developed (it measures resources mainly). Its from yahoo and comes as a Chrome extension, probably ff too:

    Hi All, im trying to set up this elasticemail/mailpoet thing in one of the sites, and its not that im lazy on reading the docs from their site, but im sure you already have a 1,2,3 step procedure to do it. Help! 😀

      Juan – do you mean configuring it on the site, itself?

      • Juan Villegas 9:28 pm on November 25, 2013 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        I have installed Wysija, and im trying to configure it to send emails using Elasticemail.com’s smtp server. The docs suggest validating domains using DKIM and SPF validation, but im unsure if thats how you usually do it

          Okay, you’re beyond my capabilities. I thought you just put the elasticemail account in the wysija configuration and you were good.

          Look in either DrSarahAllen.com or RutieHavazelet.com and see how it’s done there.

    Site Document 

    Im not sure if we are already delivering one of these, i tink we dont. It would be cool to deliver a pdf togheter with the site to each of the customers. Im not sure the format and how long we should take to write it, but could be:
    -generic section with wordpress stuff (create page, post, categories, etc). This is easy and would be written once for all..
    -custom section focusing on each customer’s site. For example, creating testimonials or updating gallery images.

    I guess its easy to justify this expense to the client, adds value and will save a lot of q’s from them..

      Good idea, Juan. Barb is perhaps (hopefully 🙂 our last client that will have a gallery!

      We already send our clients to a free set of training videos on how to work with WordPress, at WP101.com. We give them our company sign in so they can go to the videos any time they want to see how to add / edit a page or post.

      However, we don’t teach them how to edit sidebars (though the training area has that, I’m sure). We also have many people now using MailPoet for their email list building/newsletters. We have created some training for this for some clients, but this is something that we can add to this document you refer to. This should be added to our Workshop List — the Project Coordinators are going to start having workshops each Thursday to discuss how to continually improve. We also need to start having some for developers and also bringing you guys into our workshops as needed, so watch for that!

    Quick question: is it possible to “subscribe” to posts/comments in this system? Id like to get mail notifications every time there is a reply/new post..

     

    • Becky DeGrossa 6:18 pm on November 24, 2013 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      There should be, yes. Can you please log in to the admin area and then play with your user settings and see how you can do that? And when you figure it out, can you post the answer so that anyone else who wants to can do that?
