I ran updates, upgrades, and dist-upgrade on my remote website server, which is an Ubuntu machine hosted using Amazon web services. I used putty to SSH to it and updated everything using the "command line" (terminal). Oh, and then rebooted at the end.

Hi there folks! Creatives Meet Business is an event and podcast series based out of Austin, Texas for creatives of ALL disciplines to get from zero to one in thinking of themselves as business owners (in the creative sector). This episode features Jon Lebkowsky, founder and CEO of Polycot Associates. Jon is a fascinating fellow and is beyond knowledgable about all things web and development (and on ALL things internet).  Jon shares about the different types of platforms out there (and the difference between them) and what questions you should be thinking about if you're ready to work with a developer. Because there's so so much that's exciting about this episode - let's hop in and hear what Jon has to say! 0:00 to 2:16 - Ashland Opening Remarks and Intro of Jon Lebkowsky 2:20 to 5:23 - Four Categories of Platforms   Hosted Service - examples include Squarespace, Wix, Tumblr Light Content Management System - you arrange the hosting yourself. WordPress is an example. Note - WordPress does have a hosted version, but Jon is talking about the software, not the service. More Complex Content Management Frameworks. An example is Drupal Web Application Development Frameworks - Ruby on Rails is an example. Basecamp is an example of a site built with Ruby on Rails Rails is good for rapid prototyping and web application development 5:24 to 7:11 - Web Development is less about building from scratch and more about re-tooling to increase and customize functionality. Two ways to extend functionality: Themes, free or purchase - configure to customize based on needs Additional functionality that's not in the core platform: WordPress - plug-ins Drupal - modules Be careful of the plug-ins or modules you attach to your site as they increase complexity to site and potential for conflicts. There could be security flaws with the plug-ins or modules, so be cautious. 7:12 to 11:32 - Questions to Ask When Decided on a Platform What are you trying to do and who are you trying to reach with the platform? Brochure sites - basic information Considered Purchase site - informative, repeat traffic from same visitor Information site or portal - very information dense E-commerce site - can be simple or complex Web application - application that's served over the web (Basecamp is an example) How are you going to choose a developer? If you have someone in mind, get to know their platform proficiency. Recommended to get developer first and include them in the conversation about platform selection that will work for your project How much can you afford to spend? How much are you willing to spend for ongoing maintenance? How often will your website and content change? 11:36 to 12:36 - Content Management System For Self-Maintenance  Open source allowed more freedom for customers to change  developers, no longer locked into a developer if the client was dissatisfied  12:37 to 13:57 - Ashland Closing Remarks If you like what you hear, share the podcast with your friends, rate and review.

Because there's so so much that's exciting about this episode - let's hop in and hear what Alyssa has to say! 0:00 to 1:55 - Ashland Opening Remarks and Intro of Alyssa Scavetta 1:59 to 4:01 - Anecdote about aiding a brand after their original domain included the number 1 at the end of it (name wasn't on brand) Google Domains - find alternative domains and search misspells  Domains - roughly $10 to $12 a year SEMrush - finding misspellings - shows what people are searching for when looking for your brand or site so you can see how they're misspelling it 4:02 to 4:36 - Domains and Hosting Domain - basically the address Roughly $10 to $12 a year, unless it's unavailable and someone else owns it Hosting - basically the house - server space you buy so the domain can live there 4:37 to 5:40 - HTTP vs HTTPS HTTPS - ALWAYS use with e-commerce. Necessary if you're collecting other people's personal, private data.  Technically, Google favors HTTPS sites (but it's not going to hugely increase your site traffic) It's a certificate that talks to browsers and says the site is secure You'll see a green lock next to the domain Usually purchased on a one year or three to five year basis. Usually $100. 5:41 to 6:11- Security Updates Look for updates once a month Save the current version of your website before the update in case something isn't compatible Wordpress automatically updates sites 6:12 to 7:30 - 301 and 404 Messages 301 - Permanent redirect  When building a new website based on old site, you'll want to redirect all of your old links Masonry uses reroute module in Craft CMS Keeps SEO value, visitors going to the right place Put new link in as related content  404 - Page not found Put a landing page, decreases bounce rate Customize your landing page to be on brand 7:31 to 9:08 - Domain Authority Scale from zero to 100 that grades your website based off of backlinks that it has (and internal links it has). Based on the quality of the content. Research your domain authority and your competitors as well Hard to influence your domain authority, taking these actions can influence your domain authority: Install Google Search Console tools - take snippet of code and it tells you where your errors are being received by the crawling bot, 301s / 404s and more Getting rid of 301s and redirecting old or missing content to content that's alive Mitigate 404s that you find in your crawl report 9:09 to 10:24 - Ashland Closing Remarks If you like what you hear, share the podcast with your friends, rate and review.
