Living style guides are an important tool for web development today, especially in large, complex web applications. They help document styles and patterns, keep designers and developers in sync, and greatly help to organize and distill complex interfaces. Indeed, living style guides remain one of the best ways to communicate design standards to an organization.
Recently, our company went through the process of creating a living style guide. This is the story of how we developed our living style guide, the mistakes we made along the way, and why the current landscape of style guide generators did not suit our needs.

This week reminded me again of how refreshing attending a conference can be. As mentioned, I was at the beyond tellerrand conference and, apart from meeting new people, I mostly enjoyed the inspiration I got from listening to the great talks.
I realized how I might be able to solve a few things that had led to me being unhappy with my work in the past. My trying-to-change-everything-at-once strategy always failed, and seeing that some people just change small things and succeed, I recognized that this is what I want to try over the next months. And I'm happy that I don't need to do this alone but have some friends who spent nearly the entire Monday night talking with me about how to do more meaningful work.

Sometimes, changes to a .htaccess file, whether manually or via a tool with appropriate access, renders a WordPress site inoperable. It might be that all pages 404, or there is simply a white screen without errors, or you get redirected to weird places, or you have the inability to login.
Whatever the case, for me, I usually take the same approach as I do with a very broken computer (or even my body for that matter). I wipe it clean and start fresh. Then I slowly add new “elements” completing a checklist each time making sure that the new element didn't cause any grief to the overall system (to the best of my ability).
That's what I would like to demonstrate today. I am going to clear the .htaccess file, and add the essential elements back in. Once the site is operable and you have the ability to login, at that time, it's OK to add new elements (such as security enhancements, etc.) little by little.
The steps below assume that you have FTP software (I use FileZilla) installed and that you have loaded your FTP details into the Site Manager (you can get these details from your web host, and often this is simply: host address, username, and password).
If you don't have any FTP software or you are not familiar with FTP then you should read this tutorial to learn how to use FTP.
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Test. If it doesn't work, make sure that you followed the steps above precisely, and that you copied the text exactly.
If it does work, then make your other changes one by one (starting with making one small change). Test again after the change. If it doesn't work, it should be obvious as to why. Just backup a step.
