Reclaim Today Episode 008: Sparking Conversations
Last week, was a whirlwind of work. But while everyone was back in the office for a few days, Lauren and I sat down for our first solo Reclaim Today episode. Tim and Jim already have 8 episodes behind them so we needed to catch up for sure. Lauren and I jumped into a quick […]
Archiving a Twitter Account
One of this week’s episodes of Reclaim Today sparked a conversation around archiving. These episodes are always a great listen, in this particular episode, Tim and Jim were chatting about Harvard’s announcement to close down blogs.harvard.edu. A highlight of this talk occurs about 9 minutes in when Tim discusses how users begin to think about taking […]
Messing Around with Gutenberg
A change is coming to WordPress. Don’t worry! It’s not as big as you think– but it’s worth noting. With the most recent version, 4.9.8, I took the opportunity to explore a little more. I think a lot of the change is coming to the post and page editors. But don’t worry! If you’re already […]
Reclaim Today
I’ve always enjoyed listening to Podcasts. I remember listening to some back in middle and high school, but recently I rediscovered them in college. I live about 2 and a half hours from my hometown, and my Spotify got repetitive during the many drives back and forth. I quickly locked into many series like Serial, S-Town, […]
Omeka Case Studies
This week, Reclaim Hosting is running our second Workshop of One’s Own, where we will work with Domain of One’s Own admins to teach them about running DoOO on their campus. I’ve been tasked with talking through one of our most popular platforms, Omeka. While WordPress still takes the cake for the most popular applications […]
Using Flickr to embed images
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It can help illustrate a point you’re trying to make, how you felt at a particular moment or provide something to look at while you’re giving a presentation. I mainly use images to break up the writing on my posts. Using images means that I’m taking up […]
1 Year with Reclaim
January 30th, 2017, the day that I started as an intern at Reclaim Hosting. Which, at the time of writing this, it was 1 year ago to the day (plus 1). How crazy is that? A year ago I was a second-semester senior, itching to get out in the real world and be done with […]
Using the Import/Export Tools in WordPress
Lately, I’ve been working with clients to move their website from WordPress.com to WordPress.org. With this request, I use the Import/Export tools to move the content from one site to the other. This tool bundles the content on the site into a .zip file which you can then move to another location. Disclaimer: It isn’t […]
Fixing a Database Connection Error: WordPress
When the site throws the error: Error establishing a database connection, this usually means there is miscommunication between the database and the files in the file manager. What I like to do from here is open up the Files and Tables section in Installatron. You’re going to compare the four sections in red to […]
Reclaiming NYC
The first team trip, for me, was one for the books! This was definitely a lot of fun and a great way for us to regroup before the end of the year, and the perfect time to reflect on Workshop of One’s Own. WoOO is a two-day workshop that Reclaim hosts, to introduce and train our Domain […]
