Share a news from a sharepoint intranet to linkedin - linkedin

I am trying to figure a way to share a news from an intranet sharepoint online (classic) site to a personal linkedin account, without using a linkedin connector for security reasons.
My first guess would be to first export this news to a publicly accessible location then find a way to share it.
Anyone does that before or could suggest something?
Thanks !

You could enable external sharing in SharePoint Online, thus you could share the news from the SharePoint site to external users(linkedin account).
The below articles would help you enable external sharing in SharePoint Online:

How do I prevent visitors from accessing my website's API in the browser via URL?

While I'm not new to software development, I'm relatively new to web development. I made a hobby website leveraging React and ASP.NET Core, and everything is functional (for now) and I learned quite a bit. However, I remembered that I was able to access the API from my browser, ala www.mysite.com/api/endpoint?parameter=42, and I've been able to access it from other devices.
There are learning materials on Pluralsight for securing one's website and/or API if said website has user accounts, but my website doesn't have user accounts since any potential users my website would have are just going to be there to look up information. How would I prevent essentially "everyone" but the frontend code for the website from making requests to the API?

Moving a website and ftp

101 for website and ftp: Do anyone know the best web hosting site for a beginner? Do ATT u-verse offer web hosting if you have their service?
I just want to keep this simple for a beginner. I have seen commercials on go daddy and googled to see google have something. Just need to upload files and put together a website. I used Yahoo business in the past while taking classes in 2005 on internet programming and ".net". I just checked the site today that I created. My .com is still up and running. It seems as though another company want me to move everything over as of November. And I also have a problem that need to be resolved by posting my file so others can view it to help me resolve my problem because you can't do attachments in posts. Here is what was said:
"..but may post a link (not shortened) to a site (no password/logon) that hosts a file..."
Thank you for your help in advance,

You have many options for web hosting providers. I offer web hosting through my company but to keep this unbiased these are two popular options for web hosting.
Godaddy is a very popular option for web hosting. You can get a shared server plan for about five dollars a month. They will give you FTP access to the server and even provide technical support in case you have any issues. Once you have the webhosting service account live you may change the nameservers to point to your server and then upload your website files to the www/username dir or the public_html/username dir.
AWS Free Tiers Option two is free if you do not use to much of the server resources. But if you go over it only charges you for what you use. AWS is a service through amazon that allows you to create instances of virtual private servers. It is a lot harder to configure but the tradeoff is that it is usually less expensive. Most of the time if you do not have a lot going on it is free.
FTP File Zilla is my favorite ftp. It is free and there are lots of resources online showing you how to use it. File Zilla Tutorial
If you are having problems with your current website please post a new question with a detailed description of the problem and an example of your doe as well as what you have tried to fix it. I am sure someone would be happy to help you.

Syncing Outlook 2013 Calendar to Wordpress Plugin

I've done much research on this and at this point, it doesn't seem possible, but I'm hoping someone more knowledgable than myself can help me with a solution. I have a client that needs to sync Outlook calendar with a Wordpress plugin. They need the WP Calendar to display on it's own page and also be on the sidebars, like many existing WP Calendar/Event plugins.
This is what I know:
You can connect a URL based shared calendar to Outlook, but it won't let you edit those calendars in Outlook.
You can publish an Outlook calendar to a WebDav service. But since all the WebDav calendar services I have found, you have to enter in a login/password to access your file. (I tested using Cloudsafe).
I have not found a Wordpress calendar plugin that can access WebDav files.
A possible work around is to sync the Outlook calendar to a Google calendar and then use a Wordpress plugin that will sync with Google calendars. BUT that would mean that each person in the company would have to install an run the Google sync service on their computers, which I'm not sure they are willing to do.
Any suggestions on a way to get this request working? Thanks!
It is possible to edit "shared" calendars in Outlook. This works for Outlook+SharePoint integration.
See 2.5.6 Synchronize a SharePoint List with Outlook which contains a very brief overview and links to the MS-STSSYN and MS-LISTSWS technical documentation. Like with the WebDAV approach, failing integrated security, the password must be supplied (unless running a truly insecure editable calendar). The Calendar is just a special kind of List.
Then it's just a matter of accessing said resource in WP as well. So much fun!
There might be a 3rd party library that already emulates a basic SP List WS; there is always SharePoint [any maybe even Office 365?]..

When should I use profiles in my web app?

When would I use profiles in my web app?
To quote Scott Allen:
A good web site will remember me.
Perhaps the site will remember my
favorite color scheme, or my preferred
shipping address. Either way, if a
site makes me feel like I’m not just
another IP address on the web, I’m
more likely to return in the future.
Adding a personal touch for your
end-users can make a difference.
Use Profiles to enhance the experience of your website, read more about ASP.NET Profile Properties on MSDN.
