Investigating Failed WordPress Uploads

I run this blog on a small Amazon Lightsail instance (1 GB RAM, 2 vCPU). Cheap! Most of the time, it’s fine, but it has a bad habit of dying sometimes on a large image upload. The Jetpack app reports the upload as failing (offering to try again) but my site is completely unresponsive. I can resolve this in one of two ways: either I can still SSH into the box, and restarting PHP with sudo…

Migrating My WordPress Database from a Lightsail Instance to a Standalone Database

Last year, I moved this blog off of a EC2 instance running a too-old version of PHP to a Lightsail instance. I had to restart that instance in order to retrieve the images associated with all the prior posts so they looked exactly as they did before, but the end result was the same blog at a lower monthly cost. Since then, I installed and configured the WP Offload Media Lite plug-in to push all…

Creating Content that Converts: The Secret Formula for Writing Beauty & Fashion Content that Sells like Crazy

How to Write Beauty & Fashion Content that Makes Your Readers Fall in Love with Your Products

In the Beauty & Fashion product business, it’s all about creating content that sells. Whether you’re selling skincare, makeup, jackets, clothes or hair care products, customers need to be engaged and convinced of their value. Content is the foundation of our digital presence in the beauty and fashion industry. It is the gold we craft into luxurious experiences for our audience, and the diamond we showcase through our loyalty programs and exclusive offers.

You need to create compelling content that speaks to your audience, but if you don’t have the right formula for success, then your efforts will be in vain. That’s why it’s important to know the secret formula (structure) for writing amazing content that sells like crazy

The Benefits of Quality Content

Quality content should be at the heart of any successful product business. Not only does it engage and inspire potential customers, but it also helps to build trust and credibility with them. Quality content can help people make an informed decision on whether they should buy a certain product. When done right, quality content can help drive sales by providing helpful information and easing doubts and hesitations about a product’s usability and worthiness.

The Secret Ingredient for Successful Beauty & Fashion Content: Storytelling & Images

Storytelling with a mixture of hi-res images is key when it comes to creating content that converts in the Beauty & Fashion industry. Everyone loves a good story—especially one with relatable characters who are going through similar experiences as the reader. By telling stories about real people (or even imaginary ones), you can create an emotional connection with readers who may feel like they are experiencing something along with your characters. This kind of storytelling mixed with product images will invoke feelings of envy, desire or nostalgia in your readers and make them more likely to purchase your products.

How To Create Compelling Content That Converts

Once you understand the power of storytelling, you can create compelling content that converts in no time! Here are a few tips to get started:

Make sure your stories are clear and concise – avoid unnecessary jargon or long-winded explanations; keep things simple, direct, and easy-to-understand. Include personal stories, testimonials, reviews, and tutorials to show your credibility and authenticity.

Focus on how your products can meet customer needs – use customer feedback or real-life experiences to craft stories around how your products performed or have helped others just like them.

Use visuals (product images) whenever possible – visuals add another layer to storytelling; use illustrations and images whenever possible.

Use catchy headlines, subheadings, bullet points to make your content easy to read and scan.

Add a CTA (call-to-action) at the end of your post to encourage your readers to take action or buy your products. Think adding a “redirect flow” which will guide visitor into a shopping cart.

3 Beauty & Fashion Websites (blogs) that Exemplify Compelling Quality Content

Fashion Jackson. Fashion Jackson is a website and a blog by Amy Jackson, a Nashville-based fashion blogger. This Fashion Jackson blog post illustrates the “10 most loved products in January” with links embedded in post that redirect to a website “shopping cart” for a further deep dive into an individual “sticky” content product review. It’s a content mixture of real-life use of the products with crisp hi-res images. The website is designed in a minimalist and elegant style, with a white background, black fonts, and subtle pink accents. The website is super easy to navigate, easy on the eyes, and user-friendly!

the detox market. The detox market is a green beauty retailer that curates natural and organic products for skin care, makeup, hair care, body care, wellness, and lifestyle. They also have a blog section where they share good content such as tips, tutorials, interviews, and stories about clean beauty. Big beautiful cosmetic images that link to “The Edit” individual posts “detox notes” which include real-life use of the products and compelling features/benefits with a “SHOP NOW” CTA (call-to-action) that re-directs into a shopping cart. The website has an amazing content funnel that smoothly guides you to the check out.

Beauty Bay: Beauty Bay is an online beauty destination that sells over 7,000 products from over 200 brands across makeup skin care hair care tools and accessories. They also have an editorial (blog) section where they share trends news reviews and quizzes about all thing’s beauty. This blog banner is a bright bold color! Perfect to really stand out. Click on an individual post like “39 TIKTOK APPROVED BEAUTY PRODUCTS” and you can see they really “lean” into big close-up images of each individual product. Under each product lies a witty description with either a feature or benefit and adds a link to another deeper specific post (pro tip, more product reviews) with a “Haul it now” CTA (call-to-action) that redirects to a shopping cart. Very well designed and content is witty and pulls you in (not overtly wordy).

Creating compelling content doesn’t have to be difficult–all you need is the right formula for success! Understanding the power of storytelling is key when it comes to engaging potential customers in the Beauty and Fashion industry; by telling relatable stories about real (or even imaginary) people, you can evoke emotions from readers which makes them more likely to purchase from you. Additionally, focus on how your products meet customer needs (features/benefits) using feedback from existing customers, a s as well as using visuals such as illustrations or images whenever possible. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to write effective Beauty & Fashion content that converts in no time!

Side note: Since publishing this post, I have received many requests for a follow-up article that covers on-page keyword optimization for website content and website performance solutions. This includes information on how to set up an AWS instance using EC2 or S3. Additionally, for smaller boutiques that host their beauty or fashion WordPress websites on Amazon Lightsail, I will provide guidance on how to get started. This is a more technical conversation I will cover once i get the time and bandwidth (which is lacking now that I brought on a few more client work).

#I think sisko canonically uses MIG (via @bijoumikhawal)

help now I want to see them debate on which one is best... I'm also 90% sure that if B'Elanna participated she'd also be like, in the Maquis we couldn't afford tanks of fancy gas we only STICK WELDED and we made our ships SPACE WORTHY anyway

star trek never tells me the truly important facts about its characters, eg does B'Elanna have a preference for MIG welding or TIG welding

Less of a question than a suggestion, have you considered running this on something like Amazon lightsail, you could get an extremely low resource ubuntu box for like...less than ten bucks a month.

I've decided to switch to Contabo for my hosting solution of choice which is similarly priced. Combined with the Twitter subscription this comes around to ~$25/mo. Thank you for your suggestion!

I've completed another commission completed recently for @a-tired-bisexual. This one of the primary sick bay and local deck layout for his ship - including the CMO's office, reception desk, attached lab, and a bunch of other areas.

The breakdown for these areas is below the cut.

The first thing, as always, is a block-out and scale test for the environment. This was based on a very detailed document I was given to give me some art direction.

Much like previous modelling I've done, I planned to do this as a single modelled area, but eventually pivoted to modelling each room individually. This gave me a lot more flexibility to alter things in the rooms but not messing up the whole scene. It did introduce some other issues, but I can live with the trade-offs.

The next thing to work out was the hallways.

These are based on the Star Trek Online aesthetic, and I decided while I was modelling individual sections that it would be much easier to have a modular system that I can twist around corners, or switch out parts for doors, consoles, windows, or whatever else was needed.

It also allowed me to (shameless plug incoming) put together my Star Trek horror/backrooms video Deck Zero. Give it a run, if you're into that sort of thing!

Once I was happy that I could create corridors to order, I started on the lab.

This is when I started working on the individual room modelling, which was a bit of a process to get right. Basically I modelled a single section of the room, then made it form along a curve in the shape of the room. This allowed me a lot more freedom to alter the room out, although came with a lot of teething problems initially, but came out looking better in the end, I think.

The elements in the room which I needed to ensure were present, included the circular computer console, the side desk, the TNG-era....wall orb...the corner desk, and the shelving. So obviously the next step was to do those.

After that, I had worked with the new method to build the room enough to be comfortable with it, so I started on the main sick bay and attached office.

Obviously this was probably the big focal point, so a lot of variations on a theme here, but the key is/was that it have a lot of bio-beds, a transporter, and several ways in/out of the rooms.

This meant building out a lot of assets, from the bio-beds, to the "laptops" used in TNG/Voyager, medical tricorders and other equipment, and the desks and trolleys to put this stuff on.

You might notice a lot of very specific tools which have been present in various Star Trek's over the years. I always like putting little touches in like this, as it helps sell the authenticity.

The CMO using the office is Bajoran, hence the painting on the rear wall. The shelves will eventually be filled out with various knicknacks including books, and a model of a Bajoran lightsail ship.

The window out into the corridor was also a request.

The last area to cover was an airlock to the internal cetacean ops to allow for medical teams to quickly access it. This was relatively easy to throw together, compared to the rest of the area.

And finally, it was putting the finishing touches in, like accurate LCARS, lighting, and all the other elements that go into making the final images at the start of the post.

How to Connect a Domain with AWS Route 53 and AWS Lightsail

Introduction

In today's digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for businesses and individuals alike. One of the essential steps in establishing an online presence is connecting your domain to a reliable and scalable hosting service. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers two powerful services for this purpose: AWS Route 53 for domain registration and management, and AWS Lightsail for hosting websites and applications. In this article, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to connect your domain with AWS Route 53 and AWS Lightsail to get your website up and running efficiently.

Table of Contents

- Understanding Domain Registration - Signing Up for Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Setting Up AWS Route 53 - Creating a Hosted Zone - Configuring DNS Records - Getting Started with AWS Lightsail - Creating a Lightsail Instance - Setting Up Your Website - Connecting Your Domain to AWS Lightsail - Testing and Troubleshooting - Checking DNS Propagation - Troubleshooting Common Issues - Security Considerations - Implementing SSL Certificates - Configuring Firewall Settings - Monitoring and Scaling Your Website - Backup and Disaster Recovery - Conclusion - FAQs

1. Understanding Domain Registration

Before diving into the technical aspects, it's essential to have a registered domain name. If you don't have one already, various domain registrars allow you to search for and purchase a domain that suits your brand or business.

2. Signing Up for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

To get started, you need an AWS account. If you already have one, you can skip this step. If not, head to the AWS website and sign up for an account. You'll need to provide some basic information and a valid payment method.

3. Setting Up AWS Route 53

Creating a Hosted Zone After signing in to your AWS Management Console, navigate to the Route 53 service. Here, you'll create a hosted zone, which will act as the container for your domain's DNS records. Click on "Create Hosted Zone" and follow the prompts. Remember to note down the four nameservers assigned by AWS; you'll need them later to update your domain's nameservers. Configuring DNS Records With your hosted zone set up, it's time to configure the DNS records. This step involves adding records that map your domain to your desired AWS Lightsail instance's IP address. Common records include A records (for IPv4 addresses) and CNAME records (for subdomains).

4. Getting Started with AWS Lightsail

Creating a Lightsail Instance Once your domain's DNS records are set up, head to the AWS Lightsail service. Click on "Create Instance" and choose your preferred operating system and instance plan. You can also select pre-configured applications based on your needs. Setting Up Your Website With your Lightsail instance up and running, you can now deploy your website or application. Access the instance via SSH or use the Lightsail browser-based terminal. Upload your website files and configure the necessary settings.

5. Connecting Your Domain to AWS Lightsail

To connect your domain to AWS Lightsail, you'll need to update your domain's nameservers with the ones provided by AWS Route 53 during the hosted zone setup. This process might take some time to propagate globally, but once it's complete, your domain will point to your Lightsail instance. Control NS(NameServer) in Route 53, not Lightsail DNS Zone! At first, I couldn't connect Domain with Route 53. Because I control Name Server in Lightsail DNS Zone. So I ignore(delete) Name Server in Lightsail DNS Zone and update Domain in Lightsail like Route 53. So please must write same NS only Route 53 and Lightsail Domain, not DNZ Zone!

route 53

6. Testing and Troubleshooting

After connecting your domain, thoroughly test your website to ensure everything works as expected. Additionally, learn about common issues and how to troubleshoot them. This includes checking for correct DNS settings and ensuring SSL certificates are set up correctly.

7. Security Considerations

Securing your website is paramount. Implement SSL certificates to enable HTTPS and encrypt data between your users and the server. Also, configure firewalls to restrict unauthorized access and protect sensitive information.

8. Monitoring and Scaling Your Website

To ensure your website performs optimally, monitor its performance regularly. AWS provides various monitoring tools to help you identify and address potential bottlenecks. If your website's traffic increases significantly, consider scaling your AWS Lightsail instance to accommodate the demand.

9. Backup and Disaster Recovery

Don't overlook the importance of data backup and disaster recovery. Set up automated backups of your website's data to avoid data loss in case of any unfortunate events.

10. Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully connected your domain with AWS Route 53 and AWS Lightsail, creating a robust and scalable hosting environment for your website or application. By following the steps outlined in this article, you've taken a significant step towards establishing a reliable online presence.

FAQs
