New Series on How to Use Dashboard

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I will be starting a new series on how to use the Wordpress Dashboard both for regular site updates and for WP-Ecommerce updates. I am doing quite a few sites that use WP as a Content Management System and I think this will really help those of you out there who need help editing your pages and keeping your site up to date.

Stay tuned!

More Best Plugins

Friday, May 15th, 2009

I am working on a list of my favorite plugins.  Many plugins I reuse over and over and then occasionally I stumble across a good one that I add to my arsenal. I know I have posted about plugins before so this may be repeat, but for the sake of having then in one list in one place I will post again. I am not listing a description of each as they are mostly self-explanatory, click on the link to go the plugin page.

Another useful plugin: Flexi Pages Widget

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I needed a widget for a site that only shows the subpages of a page while on the parent page.  I found the Flexi Pages Widget.  It is easy to implement and with a little tweeking I got exactly the result I wanted.

Here is a quote from the site:

Flexi Pages Widget is a highly configurable widget to list pages and sub-pages in WordPress sidebar. User friendly widget control comes with plenty of options. ‘Flexi Pages’ widget can be used as an alternative to the default WordPress ‘Pages’ widget.

WP 2.7 I like it

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I really do.  At the very least WP 2.7  gives me something new to play with.

I loaded it on a new site I am working on and have not had too much time to dig in deep, but on first glance, I enjoy the wealth of info in the dashboard and that I can customize it, move it around.  So far, my favorite feature is the ability to upload plugins right from inside the dashboard, rather than have to find the plugin, ftp, extract, then activate.

One of these days I really must upgrade this blog.

Removing sidebar bullets from Wordpress Default theme

In case I need to use this again, this removes the funny >> bullets from the WP default theme.  I have been wracking my brain trying to find the css to take these out.

Wordpress Template Tags

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

This post is more for me than anyone else, I keep forgetting this template tag:

<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>

and I need to put it somewhere that I will not misplace it.

Shopping Cart for Small Quantities?

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

I need need need a shopping cart for clients who only have a few items to sell.  I really like WP E-Commerce (though it is buggy and bugs me often, as it does not work (no matter what they say) with WP 2.6), but I also want something that works outside of Wordpress.

NextGen Flashviewer

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

This  really helped me out on a website a little while ago.  Adds some great image viewing features to NextGen gallery which is already a great plugin by itself.
