My kids started taking Taekwondo (Kukkiwon – World Taekwondo Federation WTF) at Protec USA Tae Kwon Do in Cedar Hill / Duncanville, TX. They really enjoyed it and I thought it would be something to do together, so I started doing it with them.

I was surprised at how much of a workout it is. There are a lot of warmup exercises, including pushups, crunches, etc., as well as blocks and punches. The main goal at our studio is to learn the Poomsae, which are the Kukkiwon forms. I found the videos for each form on YouTube, so I’ll be creating posts here for me to learn and practice each one. I hope they help you, as well.

Setting Up a WordPress Development Environment with DesktopServer and GIT for WP Engine

April 5, 2014 By Jonathan Jeter Leave a Comment

One of the challenges in using WordPress with an external hosting environment and multiple developers is the creation of a local development environment with version control that will work seamlessly. Fortunately, using a combination of DesktopServer from ServerPress, an industrial-strength WordPress host like WP Engine and Git, you can have multiple development environments up and running relatively quickly. In this tutorial, I will explain how to create and set up a local WordPress development environment on a Mac, using DesktopServer by ServerPress, using a WP Engine backup point and then set up Git for version control. If you don’t use WP Engine, this tutorial probably won’t be very helpful.

I highly recommend WP Engine for reliable, secure WordPress hosting. They provide excellent customer service, daily backups and an easy restore process, a staging environment, git for version control, and much more! I like them so much that I would recommend them to anyone (even if I wasn’t part of their affiliate program, which I joined after using their service).

Lots of work goes into testing.

Tailored messages work better

There are many many things that shape who we are, what matters to us (at a point in time) and what drives passion, focus and priority.
