    19 Jan 2012 | 2:13 pm
    Convertible is a new take on the classic sales page. Landing pages are useful for marketers who have a single product to sell and need to create a page to pitch it to their visitors. Our landing page theme comes with tons of easy-to-use elements such as buttons, pricing tables, image sliders, tabs and more. A landing page needs to be versatile and customizable, which is why we devised an entirely new way of managing your pages. Convertible includes a custom Drag and Drop page builder that allows you to completely customize your landing page without ever having to touch a line of code. I am…

  • Internet Blackout Day on January 18

    Jane Wells
    17 Jan 2012 | 5:18 pm
    WordPress.org is officially joining the protest against Senate Bill 968: the Protect IP Act that is coming before the U.S. Senate next week. As I wrote in my post a week ago, if this bill is passed it will jeopardize internet freedom and shift the power of the independent web into the hands of corporations. We must stop it. On January 18, 2012 many sites around the web — from small personal blogs to internet institutions like Mozilla, Wikipedia, reddit, and I Can Has Cheezburger? – will be going dark in protest and to drive their visitors to sites like americancensorship.org to…

    You are an agent of change. Has anyone ever told you that? Well, I just did, and I meant it. Normally we stay away from from politics here at the official WordPress project — having users from all over the globe that span the political spectrum is evidence that we are doing our job and democratizing publishing, and we don’t want to alienate any of our users no matter how much some of us may disagree with some of them personally. Today, I’m breaking our no-politics rule, because there’s something going on in U.S. politics right now that we need to make sure you know…

    Are you addicted to checking your site stats? You are not alone. The stats dashboard has always been one of the most popular admin screens. It’s gratifying to know that people are visiting your place online. With the WordPress.com front page evolving into a one-stop shop for posting, exploring, following and reading blogs, it seemed natural to put your blog stats there, too.  Stats are becoming more and more about interacting with your readers and other bloggers. You’ll still see your summary stats and chart on your main dashboard, and the full stats page in your dashboard will…

    PressTrends has released a rather fascinating plugin for WordPress blogs. The plugin will allow you to measure various metrics for your posts, comments, and plugin usage, and compare these to averages across the entire PressTrends community. The feature list may be just a bit basic now, but there are more features on the way, the design is very clean-cut, and if you’re interested to see how you’re doing versus “the status quo,” this is definitely the way to do it. If you’re a theme designer, you might also be interested in their core product, which provides…

    Today Y Combinator announced they are adding two new partners, Garry Tan and Aaron Iba. This announcement is unique because it does not list their academic credentials, their previous investments, the boards of companies or non-profits they have sat on, how many years of experience they have, or any of the usual badges of honor investors parade in their biographies and Crunchbase profiles. Instead we get accolades of “rare individuals who can both design and program” and “best hackers among the YC alumni.” Take note of this moment. I was part of a dinner conversation…

As the co-founder of WordPress.org, a free software project that aims to democratise publishing, and the founder of Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com that hosts blogs from around the world in pursuit of the same goal, the proposed US legislation to regulate and censor the free and open foundation of the internet makes my mouth go dry with fear. The rise of the web over the past two decades and the freedom to publish and express yourself online will be looked back upon as a cultural revolution. We have gone from a world split…

    If you haven’t yet you should make some time to read Building Twitter Bootstrap at A List Apart. Especially if you’re interested in building a WordPress Theme Framework or WordPress Starter Theme. Twitter Bootstrap is essentially a collection of HTML-CSS templates and some Javascript put together to “help designers and developers quickly and efficiently build awesome stuff online.” It sounds an awful lot like a lot of WordPress Theme Frameworks and Starter Themes, right? It looks like one too. It also reminds me a lot of the advice I’ve been giving people lately…

  • Optional Markup for Optional Post Titles

    Michael Fields
    21 Jan 2012 | 12:37 pm
    Whenever I write a post to publish on a WordPress powered website, I start by crafting a title. While I do this 99.9% of the time, there are definitely situations where no title is needed for a post. The template tag the_title() already handles these situations really well. In cases where the title field has been left blank this function does nothing. Basically, it works just as I would expect, but it is in the hands of the theme author to ensure that no extra markup is printed if the title field has been left blank. Here’s some code that you might find in any given theme’s…

    Ian Stewart
    17 Jan 2012 | 10:21 am
    I think it’s safe to say that I’m somewhat obsessed with themes that help you get your WordPress projects started quickly. Most likely because I’ve been there, staring at an empty project folder wondering where I should begin. Well, you shouldn’t have to stare at that empty folder for any project. Even when you’re starting from scratch you’re probably not really starting from scratch, right? You’re taking an existing WordPress theme, either your own or someone elses, and hacking at it until it’s something new. That theme is your Starter Theme.

    I’m sitting at Dunn Brothers (again; I was here earlier prepping my talking points and statistics) debriefing myself on the conversations had at my meeting with Rep Cooper (D-TN) and members of the tech and entertainment industry.  I didn’t take notes, so I apologize if I forgot anything, but I wanted to give a short play-by-play First off, the background: Of those present there were two lawyers, two technical advisors (both developers, myself included), two songwriters, an entrepreneur (technology + retail) and a representative from a national technology company.

    It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and with the new year finally here I have a lot of ideas and cool things to talk about.  I was going to wait until my new design rolled out to do a new post, but this is something that’s important enough to warrant it’s own post. If you are unfamiliar with what’s going on lately, there is a piece of legislation (two, technically, but only one that is of dire importance at the moment) passing through Congress that will affect the way you use the Internet.  It’s poised to allow rampant censorship from corporations who wish to…

    October is nearly over, and that means in just over two weeks geeks from all over will be descending on Los Angelas.  BlogWorld’s bi-annual conference hits the west coast this year with a vengeance, and judging by the lineup it’s going to be a fantastic conference. It’s funny though.  I always joke around with attendees because I’m sort of an anomaly.  Everyone attending BlogWorld is a blogger, podcaster, or new media professional, and then there’s me.  As I like to tell people, I’m the mechanic in the room full of car enthusiasts – I’m the…

  • How to create Twitter widget with WordPress and SimplePie (Part 1)

    bojan
    23 Jan 2012 | 2:42 am
    There are a lot of Twitter widgets for WordPress but in my experience none of those utilize the powerful SimplePie PHP class that is in the WordPress core. SimplePie is a powerful RSS reader class that has very nice built-in caching system since as we all know the Twitter API is limited to only 150 requests per hour creating problems with high traffic websites. You can download the plug-in here. Step 1: Getting the plug-in ready Create a folder and name it bs_twitter. In that folder, create a PHP file and name it the same as the folder i.e. bs_twitter.

Low Cost to start with: Its open source and thus the platform itself is free to use and develop on – starting on WordPress is like less than half the cost of custom developing from scratch or using any other robust CMS. 2.

    In all seriousness I am happy to see 2011 come to an end. The past few weeks of this year have helped crystalize a series of separate thoughts I’ve had about both professional and personal issues that have surfaced, and come to the forefront for me this year. There are times in your life when your life takes turns whether big or small. Sometimes you have no idea that you’ve turned until later reflection. Sometimes you have the luck to see things coming at you, and can see the turn coming. In this instance the turn in your life offers you a chance to make some decisions about how…

    There is nothing I can say that someone, somewhere will say much more eloquently and succinctly about the life and times of Steven Paul Jobs. Love him or hate him, the man was simply a genius. I think everyone who knew of him and his health knew the end was coming. Particularly after his recent resignation from running Apple. However, is still leaves me sad that he is gone. The news of his passing acted like a wakeup call to me. I’ve had my head buried in the sand for quite some time. Suffice it to say that I’ve not been very motivated, as if in a long state of burn-out, slump,…

You can see an example of how we split our posts into two pages or even into five pages. After writing that article, we got a lot of inquiries from people asking us multiple questions. How do you split the posts into multiple pages? I put the <!–nextpage–> tag, but no pagination shows up. Well worry not.

    When starting out, most bloggers believe that it is super hard to get people to your blog. Whereas most expert bloggers think that getting people to your blog is the easy part. Getting the users to stay on your site is harder. Most users come to your site and end up leaving without even going to the second page. When a user leaves without even going to the second page, it increases your bounce rate. It also decreases your pageviews per visit. On a bigger picture, it decreases your ad revenue. In this article, we will share with you tips and tricks that will help you increase pageviews and…

    Without the proper protection, comment spam is an absolute nightmare in WordPress.  Fortunately, the proper protections are very easy to come by. As a primer, comment spam is any comment left on your blog that adds nothing to the conversation and was likely mass posted.  These comments sometimes look like: Great post!  This makes me really think. Or something like…. Wow, I couldn’t have said it better myself! You can spot spam comments because they are usually positive in vibe and could fit just about any blog post.  The spammers do this in the hopes that the link behind their…

    30 Sep 2011 | 1:12 pm
    There is a lot of of advice about recovering from Panda, but I felt like this advice from Mike Gordon, the Toronto SEO Guy, was the most elegant: In most cases, sites that have been hit with Panda were over-optimizing their on-page factors (keyword spamming) with the intention of ‘gaming’ Google while offering no additional value (or lesser value) to visitors. Other sites got hit for using link farms and other forms of paid links that are against Google’s policies, and again, are designed to manipulate the engine without offering benefit to the user. For sites in the above…

    In last week’s post which highlighted how Catalyst Theme makes it easy to include images as part of the site structure, I used the Navbar buttons as an example. This showed how images can be used as the basis for the background of the buttons and how using Catalyst Theme as your WordPress theme vastly expands your options for designing a site incredibly simply, easily and quickly. Of course, the use of images as part of the integral design of the site structure itself is not just restricted to the Navbars, but is typical of the comprehensive design flexibility that the Catalyst Theme (and…

    In this week’s feature post I’m going to take a look at how Catalyst Theme makes it easy to include images as part of the site’s integral design using the Image Uploader functionality that it provides. This is distinct from the standard functionality that WordPress provides to upload (or insert from the Media Library) images directly into the content for Posts and Pages etc. Catalyst Theme allows you to include images throughout the structure of the site itself simply and easily. For example, throughout the various tabs of settings in the Dynamik Child Theme, you will notice drop downs…

For the uninitiated, a Breadcrumbs Trail is a means of showing a visitor where they currently are in the hierarchy of the site’s structure of levels and sub-levels. In a Breadcrumbs Trail, each level of the hierarchy is shown as a hyperlink, so that a visitor can jump back up one or more levels. Here is an example where three layers of Category and sub-Category have been set up in such a hierarchy  – that is a Post may be assigned to a Category…

It also showed how the fluid area could be extended to include the menu navigation Navbars so that they too fill the width of the window if desired, as well as some of the different location options for the Navbars in…

For the grand price of zero, you get a plugin which will cache your pages, objects, database queries, pair up with a CDN and more. I am still of the opinion that there is not a single WordPress site that could not benefit from installing it.So with that said, get it installed and then come back here for some guidance on how to set up its myriad of configuration options.General SettingsWhen you install and activate the plugin,…

    It’s the New Year, a traditional time for resolving to make changes in our lives to better ourselves in the coming 12 months (and hopefully beyond).Even though many of us stop going to the gym in about mid-February, there’s smaller changes that you can make in your life that are more manageable and realistic. Given that this blog is all about WordPress, it only seems fitting to write down a few “best practices” that you should try and adopt in order to make editing, managing and updating your blog a whole lot easier.Stop using functions.phpIt’s something that I…

  • Add a Column to Easily Note the Post ID

    4 Jan 2012 | 7:00 am
    After recently writing my post “Include a Post within a Page or Post“, I was in the process of writing a tutorial to give you an easier way to find the Post ID, by adding a column in the post editor screen.Well, it seems that WP Snipp pipped me to the post as they just published a post doing exactly that. So rather than go through the rigmarole of writing the snippet myself, I’m going to give you his snippet. Drop it into your functionality plugin to use it:// ADD COLUMN IN EDITOR FOR POST ID // function posts_columns_id($defaults){ $defaults['wps_post_id'] = __('ID');…

    Whenever you add the word free to a search engine query, you’re practically begging for spammy or infective links to start appearing on the search engine result pages but there’s a cool trick from Bittbox that I’d like to share with you how to avoid getting too many junk sites in your results. It’s the site: element of a Google search and it’s designed to help you search a specific website but what it’s also really handy for is returning results from relevant websites very quickly and it saves you a bundle both in time and hopefully money.

  • How to protest SOPA without losing your SEO on WordPress

    16 Jan 2012 | 9:16 am
    A lot of very  high profile websites are planning an outage this week in protest of SOPA, the US government’s perverse legislation which is essentially designed to hand the power to police the Internet over to corporate powers. If you don’t already know what SOPA is, there are plenty of news articles detailing it already but let’s just call it bad. Very bad in fact. The type of bad that can kill the Internet as we know it, destroy free speech and change the way we surf the web forever. It’s bad enough that Facebook may go dark to protest it. It’s bad enough…

  • Be successful in Social Media by doing your own thing.

    There are a whole lot of online strategy guides for social media but in the end, the real trick to being social with modern technology is to simply forget that it’s modern technology and instead focus on being social by doing what you do best. Heidi Cohen has a wonderful piece about the 5 Stages of Social Media in which she breaks down the phases a business goes through for social media and presents a structured approach to businesses growing their social structure. I think she’s right about almost everything she saids but at the same time, I think it’s vital for business…

  • 7 Ways to Increase Your Online Reputation

    3 Jan 2012 | 8:38 am
    In today’s blog I’m going to avoid talking about my passionate love of WordPress and instead focus on one of the three things I believe it takes to make a living, I call it authority but it could just as easily be called reputation or power. It’s the only third of the equation (the other two being sex and money) that while we can directly influence, we can’t control. How do you influence what people think of you or your company using the Internet? Or perhaps a broader question is how do the methods we’ve used our whole lives translate to the modern digital world?

  • How To: Add Custom Text Styles to WordPress Post Editor

    Oli
    25 Jan 2012 | 4:15 am
    Shortcodes are all very well, but they are not the ideal solution if you wanted to add extra styles to your WordPress post editor screen. People will have to memorise the shortcode they want to use or keep referrring back to the documentation, and if they switch themes then they could end up losing the styling unless it is ported over to the new theme. A better way is to use CSS and an even better way is to add extra controls to the WYSIWYG editor so the end user can just select which style they want to use from a drop down menu. This is where a new plugin from my friend James Kemp comes in,…

    A few years back a new breed of coding services appeared offering to convert your designs from a .PSD file to HTML and CSS for a reasonable fee. I have used them before myself in the past when my work-load was high and I had good results – the code was clean and well optimised. Nowdays these services have evolved and offer a complete service to take your design from a .PSD to integration with a content management system.

    toby
    17 Jan 2012 | 11:38 pm
    I ran into a real bugger of a problem tonight when attempting to import a WordPress site using the Importer plugin. The problem arose, because the importer does not get all of the data out of the “wp_postmeta” table. In fact, it misses or messes up the audio urls that PodPress uses. The solution I found was the following: MAKE A BACKUP OF BOTH YOUR OLD SITE’S AND NEW SITE’S DATABASES!!! (Following the steps below can seriously and permanently mess up your site.

For example, I might need to style all groups, forums, profile pages, etc. a certain way and have different styling for blogs and WordPress multi-site home pages.

  • Planning Your Website Effectively- WordPress Is A Tool Not A Strategy

    Lucy
    25 Jan 2012 | 11:45 am
    One of the reasons why WordPress is so awesome is because it makes building powerful websites pretty easy. Pick a theme, add some content, hit Publish and there you have it. Lack of technical know-how is no longer a barrier, and the array of shiny, sexy themes that are available along with the inexpensivenss of it all can make it dangerously easy to under-think the process of building a website. But while WordPress and its eco-system have made many parts of the process simple and taken the grunt work out of making a site, the one thing that YOU still have to do, is the analytical thinking and…

  • 6 Common WordPress “Gotchas” To Avoid

    Lucy
    17 Jan 2012 | 11:30 am
    I teach people on a daily basis how to use WordPress, from the ground up. A few face-smackingly simple issues come up time and again. 1) Pasting from Word will make your posts look funky Anytime you copy and paste directly into the WordPress editor, from Microsoft Word, another website, or any other outside source, you run the risk of it looking, well,  a bit funky ,when you publish it. This is because other applications, especially Word, have their own set of formatting that gets carried over when you copy/paste. Usually this ends up conflicting with the formatting and styling of your…

  • Creating Password Protected Pages and Areas in WordPress

    I had a client recently who needed to create private, password-protected sections on her WordPress site. She wanted each of her clients to have a private page with information related to what they were working on together. Easy! Password-protection is an in-built feature of WordPress, in case you didn’t know. When creating a page, you simply click “Edit” next to Visibility in the Publish box on the right. Choose “Password protected” and set the password as you choose. But what if you want to create a series of pages for the same client to access? This would mean…

    Need a Twitter plugin that does a little more than simply display your own Tweets in the sidebar? Tweet Blender does a ton of stuff: Tweet Blender is tag-aware and has support for multiple authors, lists, hashtags, and keywords all blended together. The plugin can show tweets from just one user or a list of users (as all other Twitter plugins do); however, it can also show tweets for a topic which you can define via Twitter hashtag or keyword. But there is more! It can also show tweets for multiple authors AND multiple lists AND multiple keywords AND multiple hashtags all blended together…

  • Easy Ways To Create Columns, Grids and Cool Layouts in Your WordPress Post

    Lucy
    6 Oct 2011 | 11:00 am
    WordPress makes most things easy but, sometimes the in-built editor just won’t comply, especially if you’re trying to do something like align pictures next to each other in the same row, perhaps place 2 videos next to each other, or various other things that seem like they should be simple, but are maddening to attempt. You’ve probably also noticed that even if you try and get clever with the spacing, by adding extra line breaks or empty paragraphs, to get things laid out the way you want, WordPress will inevitably toss such cleverness aside and strip out your spaces.

    A few things that I’ve picked up during my certification as a marriage counselor: Men spell intimacy S-E-X. Here are some issues regarding men and sexual intimacy: A husband needs his wife to initiate sex occasionally. A husband often struggles with feelings of inadequacy or failure. A husband gets discouraged when his wife does not express her passion for him. A husband feels as if he’s not important to his wife when she doesn’t take time to make love. A husband becomes concerned when life situations (such as depression, grief, and loss) interfere with his interest in sex.
