Let’s get started.

First, you should make a back up copy of CSS files you are going to modify. You should do this with any file you plan on modifying incase something goes wrong, you can always revert back to the version you know works properly.

What is CSS

“Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. It’s most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.” – Wikipedia

A CSS rule (the sentence) has two main parts:

• Selector: This is usually the HTML element you want to style (e.g. Header 1-6, paragraph, body, etc ).
• Declaration: This is what you want to do to the selector. (e.g. Change the text color, text alignment, font, font size, etc).

Here is an example of a CSS rule

• h1{color:green;font:20px;}
• h1= selector color and font = the property green and 20 px = the value

The declaration will consist of a property and a value and each property must have a value.
The CSS declaration will always end with a semicolon (;)example: color:green;The CSS declaration group will always be surrounded with ({}) example {color:green;text-align:center;}

You can make the CSS easier to read by putting each declaration on a separate line.
example:

h1
{
color:purple;
text-align:center;
font:20px;
}

Now that you have a basic understanding on how CSS works let’s move on to some simple changes you can make to your website to give it a little personal touch.

Here is some sample code that I have used in this article to show you how to make simple CSS modifications:

body
{
background:#444;
width:960px;color:#333;
font:13pt Georgia, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0
}

• Body = Your selector.
• Background = the color of your background.
• Width = the width of the body.
• Color = the color of the text.
• Font = the size and font of the body.
• Margin = the size of the margin.
• Padding = the amount of padding you want between the objects.

Let’s go over a few modifications:

Changing colors in CSS

Changing colors in CSS can be done by one of the following ways:

• By name: Red, blue, green and so on
• RGB: A RGB value looks like this (255,0,0)
• Hex: A hex value looks like this (ff0000) or shorthand hex looks like this 333 or 444 and so on.

You can find a list of the hex numbers with a quick search on the internet.

Now let’s make some simple modification to the sample CSS code:

body
{
background:#3300cc; I changed the background color by changing the hex value to 3300cc(dark blue).
width:960px;
color:#bbcbff; I changed the text color from #333 to bbcbff (light grey color).
font:22pt Georgia, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; I changed the size of the font to 22pt.
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
}

Once you have made your changes you can save the file and upload it to your site. These are simple modifications you can use to give your site a fresh new look.

Text alignment

Let’s add some text alignment to this bit of code. You can use the following text alignments

• Center
• Left
• Right
• Justify

body
{
background:#444;width:960px;
color:#333;
text-align:center; I entered a text-align property with the value as center.
font:13pt Georgia, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0
}

Background image:

In some cases you may want to use a background image.

Here is an example of how to do this:

body
{
background-image:URL('img_gradent15.png'); URL this is going to be where the image is located.
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom left;
}

This will add an image to the bottom left of the body with no repeating of the image.

To repeat an image you can use the following declaration:

• background-repeat:repeat-x;
• background-repeat:repeat-y;

This will repeat the image along the x or y axis. By default the image will be repeated both horizontally and vertically.

Changing the size of an object:

This modification works very well when you have an object (e.g. a button image) that is appearing too large/small. Some WordPress themes come with a default image size and will make any image you use that size. You can modify the code to override the themes default setting to display the images properly.

For this example we will change the size of the logo for the Infinity Remix theme.

Here is the code for this:

#logo
{
width:450px The width of the logo is 450px. My logo is 625px to change this we need to adjust the px's (pixels)of the width property.
}

This is what the code should look like after the changes have been made.

#logo
{
width:625px I have changed the width to 625px.
}

Remember when you make a size adjustment you may have to modify other part of the CSS to fit everything properly in the space you are modifying (e.g. your header you may need to move other objects or text to accommodate the size change).

These are just a few simple things you can do with CSS. With CSS your creative possibilities are endless. If you have a good CSS resource or would like to leave a comment feel free to in the comments section below.

My aim is to show the customer additional products or services that might better meet their needs or will add value to the product that they are already buying. It’s a way of demonstrating that I am aware of my customer’s needs and care about their satisfaction.

What is Upselling?

“Upselling is a sales technique whereby a salesperson induces the customer to purchase more expensive items, upgrades, or other add-ons in an attempt to make a more profitable sale. Upselling usually involves marketing more profitable services or products, but upselling can also be simply exposing the customer to other options he or she may not have considered previously.” – Wikipedia

1. Place Offers on the Checkout Page

There are many places on your website where you can upsell. The most common would be the view cart/checkout page. Visitors who come to your checkout page are potential buyers and most likely have the credit card ready. So it is a lot easier to upsell them something relevant as it will most likely benefit them.

You can also introduce an upsell page that the customers have to pass before they can go to the “Checkout Page”.

2. Offer Bundle Product and Discount

If you have multiple products that are relevant then offering bundled/packaged product at a special price works very good.

Giving out coupons that give discounts when buying multiple items work well too. Most e-commerce software will let you configure coupons so use them. If you are using the WP eStore plugin then you could configure conditional coupons that gives discounts like the following:

• Give 25% discount if the total amount is greater than $50.00
• Give 20% discount if the total number of items in the cart is more than 5
• Give free shipping if the total amount is greater than $100.00

3. Offer Special Discount Coupon

You can give special discount coupons or promotional offers to customers after they make a purchase. This usually gives them incentive to buy more from you. All you have to do is place your offer on the Thank You (Post payment landing page).

Again,if you are using the WP eStore plugin then you can configure a block of Text/HTML (your customer only special offer) that automatically gets displayed to the customer with the transaction result on the “Thank You” page like the following screenshot:

Upsell Offer on the Thank You page

4. Use words like “Special Offers” to communicate

Use words like “Special Offers”, “Great Deals” to draw customers attention. It is very easy to communicate “savings”, “value” using those words and everybody likes to save.

Some Things to Keep in Mind

• Don’t be unethical… you want to give customers more than what they pay for so they go away happy. Never sell them unnecessary items just to make a sale.
• Don’t be too pushy and make your checkout page like GoDaddy (I am not sure if I am the only one who gets annoyed with their checkout system).
• Don’t overdo and clutter your page with every offer you can think of.
• Don’t promote competing products on the view cart page.

As a general guideline… try to keep in mind that the key to successful upselling is to focus your efforts on meeting the customer’s needs, rather than simply pushing more products and services.

1. Don’t place Block elements within Inline elements

An HTML element is displayed as Block or as Inline by default. Block elements, such as divs and paragraphs, make up the structure of the document. Inline elements reside in these blocks, such as anchor and span tags. So you should never put blocks inside inline elements.

Wrong: <a href="#"><h2>Block inside Inline</h2></a>
Right: <h2><a href="#">Inline inside Block</a></h2>

2. Always have the alt attribute for image tags

The ALT attribute is a required one for IMG tags, it describes the context of the image. It helps your user on a screen reader or with a slow connection to decide whether or not the image is important. It also makes the web crawler index your contents better. If the images is just for show, use an empty ALT attribute like alt=”"

Wrong: <img src="profilepic.jpeg"/>
Right: <img src="profilepic.jpeg" alt="Profile pic of the user"/>

3. Don’t use line breaks to show a list

If you wan’t to show a list of things in bulleted or numbered order, never use line breaks. Use unordered list <ul> or ordered list <ol> tags for this purpose.

Wrong:

1. Steve Jobs<br/>
2. Bill Gates<br/>
3. Linus Torvalds

Right:

<ol>
<li>Steve Jobs</li>
<li>Bill Gates</li>
<li>Linus Torvalds</li>
</ol>


4. Don’t use <b> and <i> for bolding and italicizing

<b> and <i> are used for bolding and italicizing texts. However semantically they are classified as presentational tags. You should rather use the CSS properties font-weight and font-style for these purposes respectively. If practicality dictates to apply the styles on the document, use <strong> and <em> instead. They do the same job as <b> and <i> but are semantically correct.

Wrong: <b>This is bold but wrong!</b>
Right: <strong>This is bold and right!</strong>

5. Don’t use multiple line breaks

The line break tag of <br /> should only be used to insert is single line breaks in the flow of paragraph text to knock a particularly word down onto a new line. It shouldn’t be used to make gaps between elements, instead, split the text into separate paragraphs, or adjust the margin styled by CSS.

Wrong:

This is a line
<br/>
<br/>
This is another line.

Right:

<p>This is a line</p>
<p>This is another line</p>


6. Avoid Inline Styles

You have probably heard this a lot of times before. The whole point of semantic HTML and CSS is to separate document structure and styling, so it just doesn’t make sense to place styling directly in the HTML document.

Wrong:

<h2 style="color:red;">Wrong</h2>

Right:

HTML =>
<h2>Right</h2>
CSS =>
h2 .red{color: red;}

7. Don’t add(or remove) the border attribute in HTML

Border attribute is also presentational and should be semantically left to be modified in the CSS rather than in the HTML document.

Wrong:

<img src="mypic.png" border="0"/>

Right:

HTML =>
<img src="mypic.jpg"/>
CSS =>
img .no-border{border: 0px;}

8. Never use <blink> or <marquee>

These tags have never been included in the official HTML standard of W3C consortium. Apart from that, their use is considered as ugly and unimpressive. If you need to draw attention to a certain part of your document, use an alternative approach in a less offensive manner.

Wrong: <marquee>Look at me!</marquee>
Right: Just don’t use it.

9. Avoid using deprecated elements

There are some old HTML tags and attributes which have been declared deprecated by W3C consortium. Although modern browsers currently support them, they might not in future. Check out this article that lists almost all of the deprecated elements.

10. Don’t forget to put the DOCTYPE

The Doctype describes what kind of HTML you are using. If it’s not there, you don’t know if your code is valid. Plus your browser makes assumptions for you, and it might not workout the way you planned. Its often left off because nobody can remember the long address. You can use a blank document template, so you don’t have to remember it, but it’ll always be available.
Finally, take the help of online HTML/CSS validator to find loopholes in your mark up. Here are the links for a couple of them:

Word of caution: These tune ups have been tested on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Haron. I haven’t upgraded it as it has been pretty solid and stable release. So if you’re on a newer(or older) version, I suggest you do some research before applying these tricks. And of course, always keep back ups. Have Fun!

Reducing the boot menu delay

If you dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows on your computer the boot menu appears for 10 seconds, during which you can select either Windows or Ubuntu. If you only have Ubuntu installed, a prompt appears for three seconds telling you that you can hit a key to see the boot menu. You obviously don’t need to wait for the 3 seconds since you have no other OS to boot from. You can eliminate this delay by editing the boot menu configuration file.

$ gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Then search for the line that reads timeout 10 and change the 10 to 0, to disable the boot menu completely.

Run boot-time scripts in parallel

Whenever Ubuntu boots, it runs several scripts that start necessary background services. By default these are set to run one-by-one but if you have a processor with more than one core, such as Intel’s Core Duo series or AMD’s Athlon X2, you can configure Ubuntu to run the scripts in parallel. This way all the cores are utilized and quite a bit of time can be saved at each boot.
To make the change, type the following to open the necessary configuration file in Gedit:

$ gksu gedit /etc/init.d/rc

Look for the line that reads CONCURRENCY=none and change it so it reads CONCURRENCY=shell. Then save the file and reboot your computer.

Build a readahead profile customized to your machine

Ubuntu ships with a program named ‘readahead’ which allows it cache frequently accessed files to avoid searching around for them at the startup. A default readahead profile is included in Ubuntu but you can create your own, tailored to your system. Here’s how to do it:

1. Boot your machine and at the boot loader menu, highlight the Ubuntu entry and press key “e”. This will let you temporarily edit the boot menu entry.
2. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight down to the second line that beings kernel and hit “e” again.
3. Use the right arrow key to move to the end of the line and, after the words quiet and splash, add the word profile.
4. Hit “Enter” and then “b” to boot your computer.

Note that the first boot will be slow because the readahead cache will have to be rebuilt. In subsequent boots, however, you should see speed improvements.

Trimming the GNOME startup programs

Once you’ve logged into the GNOME desktop, you’ll face yet another delay as all the GNOME background software starts. A few seconds can be saved by trimming this list and that can be done using the GNOME Sessions program (System → Preferences → Sessions). Under the Startup Programs tab, look through the list for items you might want to prune. For example, if you’re never going to use Evolution’s alarm function then Evolution Alarm Notifier can be disabled by removing the check alongside it. Be careful. Don’t turn any program off unless you are not sure what it does. For example Volume Manager isn’t related to audio, instead it enables the automatic detection of external storage devices attached to your machine.

You probably already know that I have a few WordPress Plugins (e.g. Simple WordPress Shopping Cart, WP eStore, Another one in development) that help you sell online from your WordPress blog so a lot of my readers have WordPress powered site and sell products online. Going forward I am going to try to write more posts on various fraudulent tricks that customers tried on me and how I handled it. Hopefully these posts will help improve your online selling experience as a shop admin. In this post I have covered some aspects of the refund trick that many customers use.

The Good Old Refund Trick

I am pretty sure that most of you who are selling online have a system that makes sure the customer only gets the product after they have made a payment and the money is in your account but do you have any guard against fraudulent customers asking for unfair refunds?

There will be times when the refund claim is valid but sometimes it won’t be. You need to be prepared for this kind of events so the customer doesn’t get you by surprise and take advantage of you.

You might think “why would the customer do that?”, well I don’t know why but there are some people who use this technique to get the digital product for free.

Basically, they purchase your product legally so they can download it then they ask for a refund showing one of the following similar causes:

• Couldn’t Download the Product.
• No time to setup or explore the product (this is a weird one)
• The product does not match the description of the product.
• There was some functionality that the customer was looking for and is not in the product (why didn’t you ask before the purchase?).

Once you receive a refund request with the similar causes explained above look for one of the following types of customer behaviors to identify potential fraudulent customers who are just trying to rip you off:

• Asks for a refund within a short time of making a purchase (they already had the refund trick planned out)
• Unwillingness to cooperate with you to address any issue with the product (it’s like… give me my refund I don’t want to hear anything else)
• Won’t take the download even if you email them later. (they already got the download now they want the money back)
• Will send you rude emails with complains about the product (trying to make you feel bad)
• Open a PayPal dispute (if sold through PayPal) to scare you off.

So how do you protect yourself from these types of fraudulent refund activities? Well, I don’t know of any potion that will remedy this for good but I will share what I know and do to protect myself and hopefully it will give you some pointers.

Safe Selling Tips

It will help you protect yourself from fraudsters if you keep the following simple points in mind when selling online:

• Give detailed description of the product.
• Provide clear images, preview, live demo if possible.
• Tell them upfront how they are going to get the product.
• Let them ask you questions and respond to their inquiries so they can get a clear picture of the product.
• State your “Refund Policy” (if any) in the “Terms and Conditions”.
• Make sure the customer has to agree to the “Terms and Conditions” before they can make a purchase.

Refund Trick Case Study

Time for a real life example I didn’t mention the name or email address of the person involved but that shouldn’t make any difference.

A few days ago I got a forum post saying there is an issue with the WP Affiliate Platform plugin that he purchased. It turned out that his server was using an old version of PHP so I gave him a fix for it and thought everything was good. Soon after that I received an email from PayPal for a “Dispute” notification on that purchase! The reason used was that the product was “Significantly Not as Described”!

At this point I was a little speechless cause I have live demo and screenshots showing exactly how the affiliate plugin looks like! Also, all the documentation for the product is accessible to everyone which allows the visitors to see exactly how things are done with the product before they make a purchase. So I asked him how the plugin is different than it is described and also pointed out the “Terms & Conditions” that he agreed to when making the purchase. Then I got the following email back from him:

Now, I was even more confused… how can you loose significant income and credibility from a system that you haven’t even setup? This guy was starting to sound more like one of those types I stated above so I took it to PayPal and stated my case. PayPal ruled it in favor of me for obvious reasons. I probably wouldn’t have taken it to PayPal and gave him a refund if his reasoning was appropriate. Anyway, that was not the end of it… soon after he found out that PayPal ruled it in favor of me he sent me the following email:

I started laughing because at this point his intentions were becoming clear to me. Why would you try to bribe with writing a blog post if you are correct on your points?

Anyway, my advice to you is that make sure you have preventative measures in place and be prepared to fight for situations like this. Oh! And don’t forget to subscribe to my blog to receive the latest posts

Breakpoints

Setting a breakpoint on a line enables you to pause/resume execution of code at your will. When you put a breakpoint on a line, say line 10, the program pauses execution when it reaches line 10. Let’s see how we can do that:

Turn Firebug on and enable Console and Script views. Then visit ajaxify.com. In the Script view, choose firebug.js from the dropdown menu at the top left corner. On the sub-view at the right click on Breakpoints pane. On the left margin of Script view, you will see the line numbers appear. Now click on line 10, it will be marked by a red circle. This red circle is the breakpoint, the Breakpoint sub-view will list you have set.

Now refresh and hit the Change the Message! button. You’ll notice line 10 is highlighted, a yellow arrow appearing at the margin indicates that the script has made its way to the breakpoint. From this point you can control the flow of execution using the controls now activated at the top right corner of Script view.

• Continue This button resumes execution. The script will only pause again if and when the script reaches a breakpoint.
• Step Over This button executes the current line, including any functions that are invoked along the way, and moves to the next line.
• Step Into This button ordinarily moves to the next line, as with Step Over. However, if the debugger happens to be paused at a line that invokes a function, the script will instead jump to the first line of the function.
• Step Out This button causes the script to jump out of the current function, returning to the method from which it was called.

Firebug Debug Screenshot

Conditional Breakpoints

Sometimes you may want a set a breakpoint, but make it apply only in certain conditions. You need conditional breakpoints. Right-click on a breakpoint and you’ll see a balloon-styled dialog asking you to enter a condition. This is simply a JavaScript expression; each time the breakpoint is reached, Firebug will evaluate the expression. If—and only if—the expression is true, the breakpoint will be applied and execution will pause.

Watches

A watch is a JavaScript expression that the debugger can continuously evaluate and display the value at your request, so that you don’t have to do it manually using the alert box. The expression could be as simple as a variable, or as complex as a formula containing calls to other functions. In our previous example, click on Watch and enter counter in the text field new watch expression… As you keep clicking on the Change the Message! button the value of counter increases, and you can watch the value in the sub-view at the right.

Tip: When you type in a new watch expression, hit the tab button to get auto-suggestions for properties of objects.

Call Stack Tracing

Call stack tracing is the process which reveals the sequence of function calls, with the latest function called showing at the top and the first showing at bottom. When the debuggers is paused, you can click on the Stack sub-view to see the function call sequence. For our first example, when the program reaches the breakpoint and execution is paused, the stack trace will be like this:

It means when you clicked the button, the handler for the event handleButtonClick was called, which then called changeMessage. Thus, stack tracing can give you useful insight about program execution flaw when you stuck untangling some messy logic.

Logging function calls

Sometimes a problematic function is called so many times that you can’t break into the debugger every time. You just want to know when it’s called and what parameters were passed in. To track all calls to a function, just right click on it in the Script tab and choose “Log calls to ‘function name’”. Then hop over to the Console and watch the calls stream in.

Sometimes a problematic function is called so many times that breaking into the debugger seems like a tedious task. If you just want to know when the function is called and what parameters are passed in, you can log the calls to this function in the Console. To achieve this, right click on the function in the Script view and choose Log calls to . Then switch to Console view, execute the code and watch the stream of calls.

In this post I have shared two simple PayPal security related tips that you can start using and add that extra layer of security and sleep better at night. The first one is to add more protection around your PayPal account login.

Use The PayPal security key

The security key gives you an extra layer of security when you log in to your PayPal account. It creates random security codes to use along with your regular username and password.

It’s like a combination lock for your account – designed to let you in and keep others out – except that the combination always changes. It comes in 2 types, each with different advantages:

• Security key: This is a small device, the size of a credit card that you carry with you. It creates a unique security code that you use to log in to your account.
• Mobile phone security key: You can get temporary security codes on your mobile phone by text messages (also called SMS).

Basically you log into your PayPal account as you normally would. After you enter your username and password, you’ll be asked to enter a security code. Once you enter the security code from the hard token you are granted access to your account. So for anyone to be able to hack into your paypal account will have to hack your account password and also have the security token at the same time!

It cost $5 to order a security key (at the time of writing this post) and it is very simple to order and activate.

Ordering PayPal Security Key

Order your PayPal security key now from PayPal.

The second tip is on adding more security around the email communication between you and PayPal.

Use Email Identification

Ever wonder if that PayPal email is real? You can use PayPal’s Iconix email identification tool, which can reduce phishing by confirming whether or not an email is really from PayPal.

If you are using Gmail like myself then you can get visual verification of the authenticity of emails from PayPal and eBay by turning on the authentication icon from the Labs tab under settings. Doing so attaches an icon that looks like a key to emails from these verified senders. see screenshot below:

Gmail Secure Email Icon

Now, whenever you receive an email from PayPal you will immediately know if it was genuinely sent from PayPal or not… No more wasting time!

WP Simple Adsense Integration

As the name suggests, this plugin makes Adsense integration truly simple. Adding a Google advertisement on your WordPress blog post, page or sidebar is just a trigger text or a PHP function call away. If you feel overwhelmed while using some premium plugins built for the same purpose, this one is definitely for you.

[Get the plugin]

Adsense Beautifier

If you are worried about ads making your beautifully design website look bad, you can try out this plugin. This plugin makes your Adsense look soothing to the eye, by adding images adjacent to the ads. This also helps increase your click-through rate(CTR). However, don’t forget to add a line between the image and the ad, otherwise you would be voiding terms and conditions set up by Google.

Adsense Earnings

This plugin enables you to check your Adsense earning right in the WP dashboard. Comes really handy if you are one of those who have to check their earnings every 20 minutes! You can also check your earnings for a specific time period, or show the visitors how much cash you have earned for the day.

[Get the plugin]

Adsense Injection

If you have a blog with a lot of content, going through every article to post little adsense tags will be a tiresome task. Also, showing the ads same place every time on a page increases ‘banner blindness’, that is your regular visitors will stop noticing the ads eventually. Adsense injection solves this problem by inserting adsense codes randomly between paragraph(or line break tags) in a page. On a multi-post page(home, category, archive) it’ll inject one adsense per story. It lets you choose how many to show on single-post pages and how many ads to show at a time. The version 2.0 works for Yahoo! Publisher Network as well.
