For the last 4 or 5 years that I’ve been using WordPress, I’ve managed to pick up a good few tips and tricks. 90% of my clients are sites who require content management systems, not blogs. And thus I’ve been able to create highly tweaked and customized Wordpress content management systems that give my clients a great method of controlling their entire website via WordPress’s great user interface.
I thus decided to start WPGuru.co.za …
Read MoreTwenty what? Yup… that was my first response when I first heard of the 27 Dinner. Basically its a dinner for geeks, marketers, entrepreneurs, writers, media practitioners, speakers - well, just about anybody who is keen to discuss whatever’s on their mind.
I’ve read about it. I’ve heard about it. I’ve seen stuff about it. And now I’m finally going to it :)
The 27th of April is the next scheduled dinner and its going to be held at the Port …
Read MoreI couldn’t count the sites that claim to have the ‘best wordpress themes’ if I wanted to. There’s just too many. And most of them are crap. They’ve clearly been thrown together in a half-hour in a lame attempt to get some backlinking-footer action.
There are however, a few designers that actually put their back into it and have come up with some really impressive and innovative Wordpress Themes. These are from designers who’ve gone beyond the straightforward main content and …
Read MoreYay, eventually, we have launch on a new project called SnapCoders.
It’s a service that is being offered by a number of companies lately, but we’re faster and cheaper than most of the ‘leading’ sites, so its all good.
SnapCoders will take your awesome web designs and code them up for $75 a page (4page minimum) and we’ll have it back to you within 6 hours. A pretty bold claim, but we feel we can manage thanks …
Read MoreI’ve found so many web applications that are so incredibly awesome, I realized that these sites needed a showcase… they needed somewhere to be given the glory & praise they deserve.
So for the past while I’ve been incrementally working on WikkidApps.com - a site to be a showcase for ‘Totally Legendary Web Applications’. Its taken me ages to finish cos its been an afterhours project, but finally its done and pretty much ready for human consumption.
Take a second and …
Read MoreHmm… this is, if nothing else, an interesting tactic to create something ‘new’ on the web. In a world where reality shows capture the attentions of probably millions who want to know which chef won, who dissed Paris, which playmate got nookie… now online geeks (myself included) can find out which web designer won.
Enter L33t Designer, a soon-to-be-launched web reality show were contestants - web designers - are given challenges to complete in a …
Read MoreI’m only just getting to grips with Photoshop Creative Suite 2 and hey presto, #3 is released. Awesome! I’m far from being able to say that I “USE” Photoshop… its more like I tinker with it. The power of this software is incredible and sad to say I hardly do it justice.
Sop stories aside, CS3 is really hitting the market hard with a phenomenal new range of quality software packages - 6 in total….
Read MoreThat title pretty much wraps up the main content of this blog post.
I’ve been using Gran Paradiso for a total of about 7 minutes now and so far, not much to report. Haven’t noticed much change as yet, other than the blue logo which has replaced the red logo of the Firefox of days gone by. I’m liking the blue, although its taking a bit of getting used to when I alt-Tab to another application… I’m still instinctively looking for …
Read MoreBBClone is a rocking piece of software. Its a website statistics generator that provides highly detailed listings of each & every visitor to your site: their IP, Location, Time of Visit, OS, Browser, Time spent, Pages viewed, Referrer and Search Term used (if applicable).
Basically you put a trigger on each page of your website. That trigger has a unique key/name that identifies that specific page so you can easily identify in the logs which …
Read MoreSo you’ve marketed an article on your site and you’ve got a few backlinks, but then alas.. something happens that results in you having to change the URL structure of your site. How do you NOT lose that traffic that’ll end up at your 404 page?
For example, I had my site running on a Windows *spit* server and as a result, my Wordpress permalinks had to be
/index.php/2005/title
And then I moved back to a LAMP Server and …
