NOTE: I’ve been doing a lot of linking to other people’s site blogs. This is partly to help me remember where to find the information as well as to share with my clients (and anyone else) searching for similar solutions.
The NextGen Gallery plug-in is so comprehensive, I’ve set my husband’s photography site up with it, and I’ll be setting my site up with it shortly. Continue reading 'Excellent Gallery Plug-in for WordPress – NextGen'»
This article impressed me enough to share it. If you are creating a website with a css drop-down menu that happens to rest directly north of a placed swf animation, you will find Internet Explorer ignores any z-index settings you may have placed. (Layering the Flash animation below the drop downs.) Much to your dismay, your drop down menus will go below the flash no matter what your z-index settings are!
Thanks to the Slightlymore site – I was able to add the following parameter within my placed .swf code & it immediately was layered properly! Thank you, Slightlymore!
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
This article does a great job at showing how to center a horizontal <li> menu. Unfortunately, drop down menus off of that centered list need to be tweaked, as they don’t appear where you would expect them to.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I’ll be trying to figure it out as well!
Discover the value and benefit of using WordPress to create your website. In this class, you will follow along with an example site as it’s being built. Handouts will be given as a guide for your future reference.
This class is a “build from the ground” – no experience necessary, class. I’ll be discussing concepts and giving out step-by-step instructions so you can feel confident you can do it on your own!
(A certificate of attendance will be given, for business funded reimbursement purposes.)

I’m not a programmer, but I play one when I’m adventurous.
A client of mine needed to share different (private) content with their clients. He also needed workers of his to be able to view and update all clients pages, but didn’t want to give access to the WordPress admin area for either. Continue reading 'How to create a client portal in WordPress'»
In an effort to get to know friends better, and for friends to get to know me better, I share my top 25 songs from iTunes (since it keeps track!) I encourage you to do the same. I’m sure I’ll experience new music! Have fun! Continue reading 'My top 25 played iTunes songs'»
Well it looks like others have thought of the same solution that I have: to use WordPress, which is primarily “blogging” software for use on websites that don’t look like blogs. It has changed the way I work with my clients. I can set a client up with a WordPress site, and they’re able to make edits to their site, and even page additions and deletions.

I’m just now looking into an eCommerce solution through WordPress. It looks like it may not be as difficult as it looks. You’ll see my site will have products that I’ll be “selling”. This is only for testing purposes. I will not be selling any products, but am testing out the software for a couple clients of mine that actually do have products and want online stores!
Well after pulling my hair out, I have determined that it is better to write and edit WordPress posts in Firefox rather than Safari. It appears as though the return key does not register in Safari, which causes all my intended paragraphs to be clumped into one big, ugly, hard-to-read paragraph. In Firefox, however, it behaves well. So, if I intend on continuing to add to this, Firefox will be my browser/editor of choice.
If I can figure out how to change the date of the blog posts, I can utilize the calendar for appointments and special events. This could prove to be helpful. This will allow clients of mine to use this software for scheduling workshops and sharing it with their clients. Otherwise, it’s ineffective. We’ll see. Ooo… looks like I can. I like it.
