What shared traits do you see between Amarillo and Knoxville? Having visited both, Amarillo is distinctly High Plains/Western while Knoxville is Appalachian. Different cultures, geography, everything.
Family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Knoxville, family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Amarillo. Both would probably be the same denomination but its unpopular to claim a denomination these days. After church its dinner that's a meat + 2 vegetables and cornbread. There's a big ford in each driveway that hasn't hauled more than dogs and kids since the day it came home. Maybe its just my biases but I just did not have any culture shock outside of how long it takes to drive anywhere out west.

I can't speak on Knoxville because I've only spent a day there, but I've spent a good bit of time around Amarillo mostly from driving between CO and TX over a hundred times, although not really in the suburbs.
Saw a lot of beat up trucks that looked like they were owned by blue collar folks and used for truck things. But of course there's also plenty of brodozers, which I'm assuming are also fairly common in Knoxville.
I was just saying two middle class families living a thousand miles away from each other along I-40 were fairly similar to me. They are also considered in the same nation according to this map.
The only part of this map I'd quibble with based on personal experience is Birmingham, AL (and Jefferson County) is definitely in that same Greater Appalachia nation because I can't in my heart of hearts say it and Dothan, AL have anything in common. The most interesting thing in Dothan is a hardware store.
Yep I did see that, but I'm not planning on pushing anything, just want a tool to scan for any of the offending packages. Could make my own but feel like somebody must have already made something (and probably better than I can)
vet and safe-chain look good thanks! I'm just dabbling with Node only (no experience really), so haven't used npm audit but will see how that works too. Appreciate the links.
Chrome and Firefox have only distrusted Symantec certs in their pre-release versions. The Chrome 70 and Firefox 63 releases in mid-October are when the hammer will fall.
Your anecdotal evidence doesn't prove they didn't respect it. I was just able to load PayPal with a Symantec cert on Chrome 69 on Android, which I realize is dueling anecdotes, but I'm just reinforcing the status quo, you're the one making a bold claim.
You shouldn't be hardcoding CSS/JS into the template files - look into wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script.
Could use a better directory structure, too. Assets should be in a different folder, things like the walker should be in a lib/includes folder.
Being a starter theme, it doesn't make sense to just reference the Bootstrap CSS from a CDN. Shouldn't you have the LESS files so people can easily make changes without having to do overrides in their CSS?
There's alot of stuff I did in this whipped together version that you shouldn't do! :) If you think this is something to take as-is and use, you're sorrowfully mistaken! :) I just wanted to give people a shortcut to start using Bootstrap 3 on wORDpRESS... er, I mean WordPress (sorry about that... touchy people... sheesh!) :)
Ok, all snarky responses aside, you're absolutely right on your points. The way I look at it is, I have six hours into it, realized it might be useful for others, and have alot of the tough parts out of the way. I am not selling it, so if it rubs you the wrong way, say your piece, and move along. This is not for you, right now.
I hadn't heard of Roots before, and obviously didn't find it in my searching. Looking at the site, you might want to make it clear what versions of both WordPress and Bootstrap you are using... I believe I was searching on something like "Wordpress bootstrap 3 theme", and it didn't show up.
Take care man, and keep doing what you're doing... it looks solid!
Roots is likely one of the most popular starter templates out there for WordPress. Try searching for "WordPress Starter Template" rather than WordPress Bootstrap 3. Bootstrap is optional on Roots, it's only included for your convenience. I guess they could put the number 3 on the front page but with a little search on GitHub, you'll see that Bootstrap 3 is used and updated rather quickly with each release.
It's pretty clear on the Roots site that it's a starter template. Not sure it's necessary to put what version of WordPress it works on seeing that it's pretty obvious that it works on the latest.
Just a Roots user that has been following its development and using it for clients.
This happened to a friend who runs a DO server on July 22nd. The server had been running for several weeks when it was suddenly taken down out of nowhere for over 4 hours to "verify" the account. There wasn't any warning and my friend immediately provided what they had requested.
Their response? They shut down the server because of "unusual traffic" coming from the server which wasn't even being used yet.. but there was "outbound traffic about 977.38 Mbps at its peak at around 2013-07-22 14:50:00UTC"
They need to fully verify accounts before letting anyone create a server. You shouldn't just take down a server out of nowhere, for several hours, after it's been running for weeks.
It's just not practical to fully verify accounts before letting them create a server. It is practical to tell customers why they are being black-holed and give them a chance to fix it when it happens.
It's hard to find good inspiration galleries that feature modern design and code. Drawar's gallery (no longer around) used to be my favorite, but lately I've mainly used Unmatched Style:
