Here’s a list of helpful git resources. I’m mostly posting this to use when people ask me questions about Git. I know there are tons of useful links out there, but these are the few I reference most. I’ll try to keep this up-to-date as I find more useful content…

From Wikipedia Wreck of the Rhone

The RMS Rhone was a royal mail steam packet ship that transported cargo between England, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. She was one of the first iron hulled ships, powered by both sail and steam. Built in 1865 at the Millwall Iron Works in Southampton, England, she measured in at 310 feet (94 m) long and had two masts with a 40-foot (12 m) beam. Her propeller was the second bronze propeller ever built, and she was one of two ships deemed unsinkable by the British Royal Navy^{[citation needed]}. Her first voyage was in August 1865 to the Brazils, which were the destination of her next five voyages. There, she proved her worth by weathering several severe storms. She was then moved to the west India route. The Rhone was a favorite among passengers due to her then lightning speed of fourteen knots and lavish cabins. She sported 253 first class, 30 second class, and 30 third class cabins. On October 19, 1867, the Rhone pulled up alongside the RMS Conway in Great Harbour, Peter Island to refuel. The original coaling station they needed had been moved from the then Danish island of St. Thomas due to an outbreak of yellow fever.

Take a look to the right of my site, see that little twitter feed on the sidebar?  That’s a new plugin I just created.  I had tried a few different twitter plugins for WordPress, but none of them did exactly what I wanted.  Plus, I have been meaning to take some time to figure out how to create plugins and this was a good opportunity to do just that.  Feel free to comment if there are easier/better ways of creating plugins.

The first thing I did was create a new directory in my wp-content/plugins/ directory.  I named my plugin twitkick. The name is derived from twitter and kickstand.  Kickstand is the name of my web development agency, I plan to make more plugins under the kickstand name.

Inside wp-content/plugins/twitkick I created a new file named twitkick.php.  At the top of that file I needed to include some information.
