Why and when? Hero, container Etc.

Is there a tutorial that would explain why and when you use a particular element?
You have Heros and sub-grids and containers to name a few, just wondering why and when I would choose one or the other.
I have a site where I need to display a website in a site, I want to use a membership site that runs on Wordpress, but want to program the site myself.
I figured out my best bet is to just run the membership part in a page on the site and that way they stay with in my main site.
So I wasn't sure as to what would be the best option to place that embedded site/
Thanks
Rick

You will have to get your hands dirty for that Rick and if you think RLM/RSD is a challenge, be prepared for some serious work here. ;)

I just run the membership site in an iframe, but I might just try the hard way when I get more time.

I'm going to try the WordPress thing on a spare site and see if I can get something to work!:D

If you asked me, I would stay clear of WordPress. Of my 60 or so clients I have one that is on WP and he is the one that is getting hacked all the time. It seems that their are too many security holes for them to get through.

hi Steve,
I agree with you.
WordPress is a very professional system, but it requires a lot of care and time.
With RSD or RLM you can really realize everything if you have the necessary prerequisites. ;)

The reason people get hacked using Wordpress is they don't use strong, secure usernames and passwords. There are also plugins that do different things that prevent hacking into Wordpress sites.

I have a number of sites that have 'NEVER' been hacked since all the 'hammering' on WP sites started.

It just takes a little security education to get them set up correctly.

Steve, most of the time they get hacked is because clients refuse to understand that '1234' is not a secure password. :D

I only partially agree, Ernie. As you said, I think the most common way they get hacked is from weak passwords. On the other hand, Oliver touched on the other reason. If you don't stay on top of a WP site, keep it updated and keep all your widgets/plugins updated, your WP site will eventually get hacked.

Brian,

I was on my way out the door when I wrote my post. I agree with you that WP sites need to be updated regularly.

It's not as hard as it sounds. I get an email when there's a new version update to WP. As fars as plugins I think there's a plugin that will alert on any plugin updates also. I'm usually in one of my sites on a weekly basis and if one of my plugins needs an update I just go check the rest of the WP sites and update any plugins that have an update available.

I think I have a dashboard add on that will let me update all my WP site plugins at one time. I just haven't installed it and tried it out yet. Life has been tough lately. :|

Thanks for all the input, guess I'll just concentrate on learning the software and run the membership site that works on WordPress in the iframe on it's own page on my main site.
There's no way I could do all that this site can do with my limited knowledge of coding.
