MY SITE IS PERFECT WordPress IS secure! My plugins are
reliable My theme is future proof My content is great!
WHAT DO WE UPDATE?
THERE ARE THREE LIGHTS • WordPress • Your Server •
Your Content
Core Plugins Themes WORDPRESS
Server Hardware Server Software PHP SQL Apache Nginx … IIS
YOUR SERVER
Posts Pages Comments Social Media Theme / Layout / Design
YOUR CONTENT
WHY DO WE UPDATE?
Bring Readers Back Good for SEO Keep Up With The
Times GOOD CONTENT IS AMAZING CHICKEN
Tweet it and forget it Facebook is transient CHEAP CONTENT
CAN BE FORGETTABLE BUT MEMORABLE
WHAT DRIVES US TO UPDATE?
“Find something that you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested
in it.” PASSION FEEDS ENGAGEMENT
“If you have that passion, it is conveyed through marketing.
People see it. I get up before them and show them something new and wonderful. When I create something, I believe in it, and I am very passionate about it.” DON’T OVERSELL PASSION
“n spite of food fads, fitness programs, and health concerns,
we must never lose sight of a beautifully- conceived meal.” KEEP YOUR KITCHEN UP TO DATE
“You’d probably expect to spend…” CHEAP HARDWARE BREAKS
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
EVEN THE SAME OLD THING NEEDS LOVE
“The only real stumbling block in the kitchen is fear
of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” NEW FEATURES ARE ATTRACTIVE
“You’ll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.”
NEVER COOK A STEAK THE SAME WAY TWICE
BUT THIS IS ALL WORK
Set it and walk away! ROTISSERIE CHICKEN IS OKAY
Non-cooks think it’s silly to invest two hours’ work in
two minutes’ enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet. HOME COOKED CHICKEN IS GREAT
Always remember: If you’re alone in the kitchen and you
drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who’s going to know? HARD WORK MATTERS
BON APPETIT! http://helf.us/wcchi2013
