Forum Topic: Introduce yourself

Forum: .htaccess Forum : Welcome • Posted by Jeff Starr • Updated:

Open thread for saying “hi”, introducing yourself, and letting people know about new projects and sites that you’ve got going. Bonus points for sites using .htaccess techniques from the book or forum examples. I’ll kick it off..

Hi my name is Jeff and I heart .htaccess. I use many of the .htaccess techniques from the book at my site, Perishable Press, where I’ve been sharing .htaccess tips and tricks since 2005 and having a blast.

Getting back into web design after several years working as a copy writer for big business. Bought .htaccess made easy to round out my collection of coding books, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, and others. Looking forward to soaking it all in!

This going to be good! I am so happy to sign up!

Jeff Star your site is a light on the internet.

I am not a designer, a web developer or any of those grand things. I code a little, do Photoshop a little and want to protect my site from hackers/spammers and streamline its delivery while minimizing the amount of plugins I need to use!!

I am learning WP, have your other book and look forward to learning more.

Cheers, Liz

I’m student and entrepreneur building a social learning environment for schools (“Electronic Learning Environment”) called Simulise.

I think this book is going to help me build a better and more secure application so thank you very much! I only read a few pages but I think I saw enough to say that.

Especially interested in the security that can be achieved using .htacess.

Hi, I?m Dieter from Siegburg in Germany and I?m a civil servant, a DAU and typically learned building websites with WordPress using the try and error approach. :-) .htaccess is a closed book for me and I hope to learn with the book and the community here a little bit about the .htaccess file.

Howdy! I’m Max and I’m into WPMS and contributing to a vast & fast web!

I came into web design/development from ‘domaining’ (hold the applause please) … but not in the traditional sense of the word.

I have never sold a domain for profit. I did trade a set of domains anchored by nginxwp.com for a lifetime VPS and support. But that was after I tried building my own nginx stack for WP and three months later realized that I was not cut out for the job. :)

I got into domains as the first step in building an online business.

Then, (’cause I spent my wad on domains) I had to get inventive about building them out on a shoestring budget.

… Two years later and I’m still paying for my domains, and am almost ready to launch a pretty spiffy WordPress Multisite Network to drastically lower the work input required to create, manage and effectively use WordPress for a large number of domains. I plan to open a local webdesign agency to offer access to my platform to small businesses & community benefit orgs. (don’t worry, I’ve got the domains for it)

I use the Genesis Framework, and the amazing products of CobaltApps (Genesis Extender & Dynamik Web Builder).

I use several WPMUDev products, including Domain Mapping and Multi-DB.

I also use the .htaccess based WordPress security plugin BulletProof Security Pro.

For the most part, I use only premium solutions which come with a team of awesome experts to stand behind them.

Nevertheless, htaccess expertise (specifically with Rewrites) is clearly something I need and I’m super excited to read this book twenty times already.

I’ve spent alot of time on askapache.com and other resources but really need a comprehensive and integrated resource like this.

Cheers! Looking forwards also to the forums… aloha all!

Kind Regards,
Max
