Amy Howard, Co-Owner, CBO, Internet Marketing Expert
My Journey to Becoming a Webmaster
Amy hasn’t always been a webmaster. Her first career was as a soldier in the US Army. Fist as a finance specialist then as a voice intercept specialist with a language. After the first Gulf War, the Army was downsizing and asked for volunteers to leave the military. She didn’t really want to go back to the Middle East, so she left the military after eight years of service.
From the Army to Burglar Alarms
Her husband at the time (he’s now an ex) was from South Florida and Amy soon found herself working for her now ex-father-in-law in the burglar alarm industry. She says she didn’t particularly like the home security industry but whe was pretty good at it. She has a knack for being able to translate the technical jargon into something a typical home owner can understand. After more than 20 years, she is proud to say that she still has a hand in the burglar alarm industry.
Through MLM’s I Fell in Love with Marketing
She has also had a hand or probably more precisely a wallet in the network marketing/MLM industry. During this phase of her education, (She prefers to call it an educational experience as opposed to a failure) she discovered a love for marketing. She finds it very interesting watching people and how they react to different forms of advertising. Even though Amy wasn’t able to make network marketing work for her, she still uses many of the marketing techniques that she learned during that part of her life.
Web Design Services Raleigh / Cary NC A Web Designer With Marketing Skills is Born
Which brings us to today. While trying to get information about her products online, Amy found herself building websites. Not very good mind you but building them just the same and loving it. Here she was working with another foreign language (if you’ve ever seen the code used to build web sites, you know what we mean). Amy actually started to enjoy creating something that looked good on the Internet and when a prospect actually responded to it, well that was just icing on the cake.
She decided to go back to school to learn how to build websites properly. Today you have access to someone who not only knows how to create a web site but you also get someone who knows marketing. You see, most websites on the Internet today really don’t do anything to attract new customers. They are really nothing more than an online form of a paper brochure.
Amy enjoys skiing, running (well maybe “enjoy” is a little strong when it comes to running), reading, and learning all things to do with WordPress, web design, and marketing. She lives with her husband, James, and their two cats.
Undecided if you should migrate or not? After all, your site is running fine. Why rock the boat? Somehow you’ve heard/learned that you need to migrate to a newer life cycle or version and landed here. You’ve come to the right place. This documentation is a funnel. Now, here are all the reasons to take the plunge to Joomla 3.x!
Why should I migrate?
A Joomla! migration gives everyone a new opportunity to:
Revisit site goals and rethink its purpose
Clean up “great ideas” that never saw the light of day
Inventory third-party extensions that may have been installed but not used
Simplify and clean up old articles, menus and other content
Create new functionality on the site
Change design and navigation
Add accessibility to disabled visitors
Make the site mobile-friendly
Improve search engine optimization
Utilize new features you may have been using third-party extensions for
Insure your data against security breaches by having all the latest software
Features and usability enhancements
Typically new life cycles of Joomla include new features and usability enhancements. These sometimes can eliminate the need of a third-party extension and enable the increased use of Joomla core components. Read more about features Joomla 3 features.
Technology Changes
Significant changes have taken place! Major releases of Joomla have restructured the data and require a “migration” as opposed to an update or upgrade. Technology changes have also been made within the versions of PHP and MySQL running on your hosts server. These changes force all content management system (CMS) technology to change with it.
Security
When a CMS changes its structure, a migration is required. The old version is no longer supported. This creates potential problems with security as security patches are discontinued and older versions of Joomla are not maintained.
Many hosts don’t want older software scripts (Joomla is a script – all third-party extensions are scripts) running on their servers because security is compromised as software ages. They have to update their servers to remain secure. More and more older versions of Joomla cease functioning because of server upgrades on the part of the host.
Migration is like moving to a new house or a remodel
You can think of migration like moving from one home to a new home. You filter through your belongings and furniture and pack the important pieces to take with you. You discard lingering trash or eliminate items you no longer need. Once you get into your new home, you may find you need to acquire some new pieces of furniture or fixtures to make your new home operate smoothly.
Same with migration. You are deciding what to take with you and what to get rid of on your site. What stays? What goes?
When you move to a new house, you may have the skills and expertise to move the entire household yourself or you may need to get some help moving (not everyone can move a piano). You may only need your own two hands and a few boxes. Alternatively, you may need a moving service with a gigantic truck and a lot of helpers. Same is true with migrating from one life cycle of Joomla to another.
