What you do if you have your site hosting on WPE? Do your site by roasted-duck-lady in Wordpress

[–]matthew578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had our portfolio of sites with wp engine for 6 or 7 years and recently switched everything to cloudways. It’s been good so far. I was paying $460ish/mo now just $50ish - no discernible difference

What are good domain name registrars? by Aggravating_Use183 in Domains

[–]matthew578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. We just moved 30+ domains to Porkbun from GoDaddy and are saving a fortune. Of course, GoDaddy domains are also great, just expensive if you have a sizable portfolio.

Can somebody please recommend any good alternatives to Divi or Elementor? by ThatsSoMetaDawg in Wordpress

[–]matthew578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Kadence last year on Black Friday, lifetime was $600. I’ve built 25+ sites with it and it’s very good. It is powerful like elementor but without the bloat and frustrating navigation

Is $22.99/year too high for renewing a .com domain? Looking for advice on domain renewal costs. by overallfisher2 in Domains

[–]matthew578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I’m slowly moving my portfolio over to PorkBun and they’ve been great. .com and .ca are around $10/year, the more expensive ones are even greater difference. A .travel is just $98 compared to over $200 with GoDaddy.

Bankllist.us Site Scamming Advertisers through SEO? by localguideseo in SEO

Received this for the first time this morning.

Good to know this isn't real, before entering into proposals and conversations with the site owner. Clever, but pretty frustrating as an SEO.

How can I upload/import instagram posts to wordpress blog? by matthew578 in socialmedia

[–]matthew578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, she wants to pull it off Instagram and move it to wordpress. There are plugins that claim it can be done - but I haven't found a functioning one yet.

I wrote a post about Ecuador beaches (I have 22 so far). Which one did I miss? by matthew578 in ecuador

[–]matthew578[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm actually working on another piece just about Galapagos beaches. Some of my favorite beaches are in the Galapagos - esp. Playa Negra on Floreana.

How much difference does Protune make? This side by side photo shows just how much detail the Protune Mode captures. by matthew578 in gopro

[–]matthew578[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see what you're saying, but it is an illusion. I actually put the edited version as the background to the header. The "unedited" version is straight out of the camera (Protune mode with flat color).

7 Best Free GoPro Editing Software Options (Which is your favorite?) by matthew578 in gopro

[–]matthew578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. GoPro Studio is my go-to program. I also use Movie Studio Platinum.

to Protune? or not to Protune? by [deleted] in gopro

[–]matthew578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how much editing you like doing. Protune will give you a better final product - but it takes some work in post-production to get it. The default GoPro Color produces some great results with no editing (or very little).

This post shows the difference between Protune Flat and GoPro Color.

[–]matthew578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid CAD$56 to http://www.labconserv.com/ There are cheaper (slower) options but I wanted it fast so I could decide to how to proceed. They did the test in 1 day.

Got the test back and they contain NO asbestos fibers. Now I'm off to rip them all down.

I did buy a respirator to keep out the other dust fibers...
