Solar Polar – Dave Walker

I’m developing a new Wordpress plugin to show a FLickr Wall of photos.

Might be fun?  Check out the beta page here and let me know what you think?

I’m currently working on some development of some Wordpress plugins. There is a wealth of information on the net but sometimes it’s difficult to put it all together.

This post will build over time and the links below will show what sites have helped me understand plugin development from basic learning to advanced techniques.

How to Build a simple Wordpress Plugin

We’ll I’m not sure how yet but our site got hacked.  Some dude called “North Storm” got in and changed some code so that it started running malicious code on the server.

The lovely team at Heart Internet we able to identify it and switched scripting off and inform me so kudos to them.

I’ll report fully on the attack later because there seems to be no further information on it.

In the meantime I’m trying to get back all previous posts.

If you type “Solar Polar” into Google you won’t find this site within the 1st 15 pages of the search engine.

Let’s be honest, who checks past page 1!

Over the next few months I’m going to try to use SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) techniques to see how far up the list we can get without spending any money.

I’ve always been sceptical of companies who claim that they can get you to the top of the pile, so now I’m going to put some effort in to see if I’m right or not.
