Temporary Service Outage

Our primary DNS provider went down approximately 90 minutes ago, which essentially disabled this website as well as our support centre. We received almost instant notification via a service we use to monitor our website uptime, and quickly determined that our main DNS provider was experiencing a large issue. As such, we’ve transferred our domains to a new provider, one that will hopefully provide additional redundancy in the future.

DNS is still propagating, but services are already online again in most of North America. While the support centre was offline during this period of time, no aspect of typical WPtouch Pro usage depends on access to our servers, so customer sites would have been unaffected.

We apologize for the disruption in service, and will hopefully have everything restored shortly.

Earth Hour WordPress Plugin, 2013 Version Now Available!

Earth Hour 2013 is almost here! This year, Earth Hour will be held on March 23rd from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The yearly event, organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), encourages households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change.

For the past few years we’ve maintained a WordPress plugin that allows you to show your support for the Earth Hour event and “turn off” your website’s lights. During Earth Hour, your website will display an Earth Hour logo and a small customizable message. The message displays on a black background because, according to researchers at the University of California, black uses less energy to display.

The plugin also shows a small customizable fixed bar on your website leading up to the event, which lets visitors know about your participation, and links to the Earth Hour website.

We created the WordPress Earth Hour plugin to show our solidarity with the environmental community in marking the event. Any worthwhile positive change takes concerted efforts by all of us. The Earth Hour plugin symbolizes that belief with a uniform message across many participating WordPress sites leading up to and during the event.

Find out more about Earth Hour for WordPress on the plugin’s official WordPress.org page. Have a happy Earth Hour, everyone!

Taking care of the environment has always been important to us at BraveNewCode. That’s why we do things like offset our company travel with gold standard carbon credits and work to raise awareness for environmental issues whenever possible.

WordCamp Victoria 2013 Recap

WordCamp Victoria 2013

 

I consider myself lucky to be able to kick-off my WordCamp agenda each year in Victoria, my current home town. Of the various WordCamp events I attend annually, it’s always the one I look forward to the most.

As with past years’ events, WordCamp Victoria 2013 didn’t disappoint. WordPress leader, Morten Rand-Hendriksen, entertained and engaged the audience with his 50 minute keynote address titled, ‘Why WordPress’. Rand-Hendricksen’s recipe for making this simple and familiar topic work? Take the obligatory statistics and insights into the history of WordPress and mix with lessons in Norwegian culture, personal anecdotes and humour. Good times!

Other sessions I enjoyed included blogger Rebecca Bollwitt’s Picking Perfect Pics session and Al Davis‘ Deconstructing the Loop presentation–which somehow managed to provide what I felt was the best learning experience of the event even though it took place during the its-almost-time-for-the-after-party 4pm time slot.

WordCamp Victoria 2013 organizers are obviously an experienced bunch who know how to pull off a well run event. Registration went smoothly and the lineups were short, access to wi-fi didn’t appear to be an issue, lunch was on time and nobody’s special dietary concerns were overlooked. Kudos to the WordCamp Victoria organizing team on a job well done!

See you at WordCamp Victoria 2014!
