Adding author images to post meta in WordPress

Debbie — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:38:27 +0000

There are a number of plugins and tutorials for adding a gravatar image to the meta info for WordPress posts. But my client wanted the ability for each other to upload/maintain their own images within their WordPress profiles. Here’s how I did it. First I installed the plugin Author Image – this places a simple [...]

Feeling spoiled by Hostgator. Again.

Debbie — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:16:18 +0000

Last week and today, I’ve been setting up databases for clients on a number of large hosts. I’m really amazed at the variety of upload speeds as I’m FTP’ing a big batch of files for each of them. Looks like the larger the company, the slower the service (these are all shared hosting situations). Feeling [...]

jQuery Masonry

This is such a cool-looking gallery – I haven’t had an opportunity to use this yet, but one of my potential upcoming projects may provide the perfect opportunity.

Social Media Widget minor CSS fix

Debbie — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:42:11 +0000

I like Social Media Widget, which I’ve recently started using. It has support for a large number of social media sites including FourSquare and Flickr. But something somewhere in one of the CSS files causes the icons to appear vertically rather than horizontally every time I upgrade this widget. To fix this, I just added [...]

CO / WY Creative directory launches

Debbie — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:20:41 +0000

I haven’t been posting much lately in my blog – mostly because I’ve been working hard to get a long-time personal project finished and out the door. Done! Creative Register launched about 10 days ago and is now closing on 30 listings. CR is a directory for (and of) creative professionals living and working in [...]

A WordPress new install timesaver

Debbie — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:10:40 +0000

I spent yesterday at WordCamp Boulder, a fun event for WordPress designers, developers and bloggers. That was my first WordCamp and well worth the very small entry fee. They had a genius bar where people could ask questions of WP experts. I spent about 2 minutes there and learned a trick that will probably save [...]

WordPress for Blackberry!

Debbie — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:17:17 +0000

Yesterday I cleaned up my Blackberry curve to get rid of the ‘insufficient memory’ error and moved all my images and videos to a new 16gb media card. It’s running much faster today and I installed the WordPress app. This is being posted from my BB using WordPress. What a great app – even better [...]

A simple way to find your absolute path

Debbie — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:18:38 +0000

Sometimes an application may ask for an absolute path to a folder/file in your hosting account. Finding that can be hard – you often have to dig around on your host’s site or contact them for that info. Here’s an easy way to do it: create a new .php file and upload this to the [...]

Adding album and gallery titles to NextGen Gallery in WordPress

Debbie — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:37:06 +0000

I use NextGen Gallery for WordPress often, I think it’s a fairly solid solution with a few quirks that I can work around. Today I’m working on a multilevel gallery for a local architect. I have a number of galleries within each album, and I wanted to show the album name and gallery name for [...]

Scrolling to anchor tags within scrollable divs

Debbie — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:30:52 +0000

This morning I’ve been hunting around for a solution to a client’s problem – getting internal links to work within a scrollable div. It was more difficult than I thought it might be. The problem was that when you click on a link to an anchor tag within the same page, the entire page wants [...]
