...our company could be saving more than a million dollars by implementing WordPress over the next 3 years. I believe 75% of the work being done by our web developers could be done more efficiently using this platform. By implementing WordPress, our current processes of developing will be more efficient and easier to adapt to future technologies. This adoption will greatly reduce the amount of time our developers waste on coding, which will cover for the initial investment of this platform. WordPress has limitless functionality and it is free. The user is free to do whatever they like with the WordPress code. They can extend it or modify it to fit their needs or they can use it for commercial projects without any licensing fees. Another great feature that improves developer’s efficiency is the workflow. There can be different types of users that can only post drafts not publish to the front page. Having different roles for users such as administrator, editor, or author, allows users to collaborate but also adds restrictions to what they can and cannot do. There are up to ten levels of different users having different privileges with regards to publishing, editing and other options. Another key feature in WordPress is its compatibility. This platform is compatible with multiple browsers, and its compliance with W3C standards, which means it has compatibility with tools of future generations. Finally, WordPress comes with thousands of plug-ins for us to work with. Most of the plug-ins...

...activate. When finding your theme, you can filter your search list based on color, columns, fixed or flexible width, and other features. WordPress.org allows you to preview it to. Whenever you want to make your own or make changes to existing themes you will need some extra files. You can also go to the edit themes in the admin or use notepad ++. A theme consists of a number of template files, all stored in the theme folder which we find in wp-content/themes. Every WordPress Theme has to include at least two files: index.php and style.css. The index file defines what content is displayed by the theme, and the style sheet contains information about the theme that WordPress uses to make the theme work correctly. Most themes have a few additional files: header.php (contains the <head> sections of each page plus the header of the website’s design), sidebar.php (contains the sidebar, including any widget areas), footer.php (contains any functions that are specific to your theme. You can develop your own WordPress Theme by first creating a Child Theme. This is your style.css file. Create the following using comments: Theme name, Theme URI, Author, Author URI, description, Version, Tags and other comments. After the stylesheet is complete, your theme should show up blank in the admin panel under themes now you can activate it. Now it’s time to fill in the template files.

...understand other workshops that students would like to attend. To avoid getting blank responses, each participant was asked the questions and the researcher wrote the response on their behalf. The results indicated that 17 students were interested in attending the creativity workshop. However, most participants were not interested in the “wordpress” workshop. For the second question only nine participants identified other workshops in which they wish to attend. A Survey was done in an Art School to find out which Workshops and Seminars would be helpful for Art Students Introduction/Problem Statement Educational institutions recognize the need of students’ involvement in decision making. This attribute is seen as vital because it helps students select what they think would benefit them and help improve on their educational outcomes (Murphy 56). In particular, education institutions have been using seminars and workshops as tools to improve on the development of their students. In designing these workshops, evaluating learning needs are significant in determining what works for them (Miller and Nadler 45). This is because it provides insights on what the learning process should focus on. In addition, it guides in selecting the appropriate learning materials and the required resources. Last, it is the best way in which participants insights help in creating generalizations. While student services...

...THE INTERNET The internet is the largest computer network in the world, connecting millions of computers. A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together. Types of Computer Networks Local Area Network (LAN) - two or more connected computers sharing certain resources in a relatively small geographic location. Wide Area Network (WAN) -two or more LANs. The computers are farther apart and are linked by telephone lines or radio waves. -The internet is the largest Wide Area Network (WAN) in existence. Servers and Clients Server -a computer that "serves" many different computers in a network by running specialized software and storing information. Client -communicates with the server to get the information it requires. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network each computer acts as both a server and a client. The World Wide Web (WWW) The internet is the physical network of computers all over the world. The World Wide Web is a virtual network of web sites connected by hyperlinks (or "links").

If the order cannot be received in a swift manner and across the proper channels then it can, and most likely will, delay the entire scope of the project. Increasing scope will ultimately result in decreased profits, lack of confidence from internal and external members and an increase in disorganization within the respective department.

...Cell Phone Company Clair Smith ECO/561 March 17, 2014 Cell Phone Company Cell phones have evolved over the years since 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper while working for Motorola invented the first personal handset (Keith, 2004). In 1988 another important event occurred for the cell phone industry, which is when The Cellular Technology Industry Association is formed (Keith, 2004). The association is what helped form the cellular industry into the empire it is today (Keith, 2004). Cell phones are very popular now and many people have cell phones, but no longer have a landline. The population is growing and the need for more cellular providers is great. The increasing demand is why I want to start a new company where cell phones, accessories, and cell phone services will be provided. There are four market structures that an industry can evolve through. The first is market structure is the pure monopoly and is where one company is the sole seller or producer of a good or service (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009). In 1973 when the first one was invented the cell phone industry was in the pure monopoly market structure. Over the years though as the industry grew the market structure changed. The next stage that the industry entered into was the oligopoly market, which is when there are only a few sellers that offer a standardized product or service (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009). The next market stage the industry moved into was the pure competition stage, which is when...

...hosting company would be the following. First checking to ensure that the site hosting company will provide the operating system that will support he site, for example if you are going to run the site on Microsoft Windows or on Linux. After determining the operating system then we need to ensure they will provide adequate space for storage and applications such as Drupal, WordPress or .net. We need to make sure that the hosting company will allow support of the applications if it will be used to help create the site. Bandwidth requirements is also another important part when looking for a web hosting company, making sure that you have adequate bandwidth will ensure that you site is not slow or down when a lot of people are visiting the website. I choose Godaddy.com as a hosting site because they allow a person to choose the operating system and select the language support needed for the site. They also will support application add-in such as WordPress and Drupal which will allow me to select an add-in that I would like to support for running the site. Another reason I selected Godaddy.com is the price and what the office for the monthly price. For a monthly price of $5.99 a month they offer 150GB of space, unlimited websites and bandwidth, 500 email accounts which will allow me to have multiple mailboxes. Godaddy.com also provides free Google, Bing, yahoo and Facebook ad credits allowing me to advertise on their sites before paying for advertising. This will help with advertising...

...following list of “Ten Tips” aims to tell you a little about the way malicious hackers work, and some ways of protecting your site-and inevitably preserving the privacy of your visitors. Ten Tips to Prevent Hackers 10) Comment Attacks Comments are one of most prized features for blogs, and helps create a great relationship between the author and the reader, and also between readers in the wider community. It would also be easy for someone to insert HTML code that causes trouble. You need to “validate” the form input before it’s accepted, to strip out all but the most basic HTML tags, for example and also if you’re using WordPress – you can utilize the “Keyword Filter” to block out any harsh words that might raise an issue or two. 9) Unsolicited Installation of Scripts It can be dangerous to install third-party scripts and programs on your website unless you understand what they are actually doing. Even if you don’t fully understand the programming, you can read through the code and look for tell-tale signs such as references to third-party URLS. You can also visit community forums such as SitePoint and DigitalPoint to ask around for better advice. Avoid Scam/Spammy...

This growth potential will vary on the amount of work that can be brought in and maintained. For the time being I will be the only person providing services, unless the time comes that I need to use a graphic designer for some type or artistic imagery (if it cannot be done by myself) The world is growing at a fast pace, online. Businesses, charities and individuals need to have someone looking out for their interest on the web. While it is easy for anyone to set up a WordPress site, actually knowing how search engines crawl a website and actually knowing about keyword results and domain name selection, page titles and other aspects is where I put my focus. Getting the customer ranked on the first page of any search engine and ranked as high as possible is what I strive for. The WordPress or any CMS system no matter how many plugins or widgets are installed can never get any site ranked without the proper research. There are many web designers out there that have no clue about code and if an issue arises they will have problems resolving those issues. As for my customers, they don’t have time for maintenance or up dates for their site. They have a business to run and shouldn’t be...

...There are essentially five elements of planned change that a criminal justice administrator should be familiar with to effect change in a rational and effective manner. The process of planned change for the criminal justice administrator is essentially the same as any other organization; the five elements are fairly basic. These elements consist of problem analysis, setting goals and objectives, program and policy design, developing an action plan and monitoring and evaluation. (Peak 14) Being familiar with these elements provides a built in checklist for any administrator when faced with hurdles or problems within their area of control. Problem Analysis is basically the concept of understanding the problem at hand, what the root problem is and who the key players are. According to a 1994 Task Force Report published by the American Society of Criminology, “Meaningful analysis of the social and economic causes of crime and disorder should be conducted to develop a comprehensive approach to dealing with them”. Knowing the problem prevents wasting time and money by avoiding pitfalls associated with blind policy change. (Critical Criminal Justice Issues, 1994, p. 92) The second element in planned change is setting goals and objectives. For any change to be true and measurable, goals and objectives must be established. That goal could be reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders or even reducing the amount of time cases go to trial. These objectives/goals must be both...
