SlideDeck 2.1: Major (and Free!) Update Imminent

SlideDeck 2.1: Major (and Free!) Update Imminent


SlideDeck 2.1: Major (and Free!) Update Imminent

Posted: 06 Jun 2012 11:00 AM PDT

SlideDeck 2.1: Major (and Free!) Update ImminentBack in March of this year, I reviewed SlideDeck. In short, I loved it, and had no hesitation in naming it the ultimate content slider plugin for WordPress.

Sure – there are plenty of content sliders out there (I swear a new plugin is released every bloody day), but as far as I am concerned, SlideDeck is the most stable and feature-packed of the lot.

Pricing Issues

At the time of the review, my only notable reservation was regarding the cost – with licenses starting at $79 f0r a single site.

Ouch.

Thankfully, the price points have been revised dramatically. A single license will now set you back $49, with a three site license costing $99, and unlimited usage for $199. I think the new price points offer a far more reasonable value proposition for potential SlideDeck users.

New Features!

And even better, the folks over at SlideDeck are on the brink of releasing version 2.1, with a whole bunch of new features. And best of all, the update will be completely free to existing users. Although the developers have been (inadvertently) tight-lipped about new features in previous updates, they’re holding back nothing this time. For the full reveal, check out these posts:

Here are a few screenshots to whet your appetite:

You’ve got to hand it to the SlideDeck crew – they know how to put an attractive plugin together.

So, there’s lots to look forward to if you are SlideDeck fan. And if you are not, perhaps it is time that you took a closer look…

Find Out What People Are Searching For on Your WordPress Site

Posted: 06 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT

Good site analytics can tell you what terms users enter to find your website but once they have found you, how do you know that you are providing the information, products or services that they are looking for? If you have a search bar on your site that doesn't give visitors the results they're looking for, they will simply look to another site – maybe your competition's website. Keeping track of the terms your users enter in your search bar can help you customize your site's content to more consistently provide the information that your visitor wants.

Search Meter is a plugin for WordPress that automatically tracks and records what people on your site are searching for and, more importantly, if they are finding what they are looking for. After you install and activate it, Search Meter will help you find out what people are searching for so you can optimize your content to be found by visitors.

To access your statistics, simply log in to your WordPress Admin, go to the Dashboard and click on the Search Meter to see the most popular searches by past day, week and month. Under the Settings tab, you can determine who you would like to be able to see the search stats. You can also filter the search results to exclude specific words or terms from displaying in the Recent Searches or Popular Searches.

There is also a feature that enables you to steer your readers by showing the most popular search terms on the front end. The Popular Searches widget shows the most top successfully searched topics, along with hyperlinks to each search result.

If you want to get serious about providing your visitors with the information that they are looking for on your WordPress site, then give yourself the benefit of knowing what they are searching. Try out Search Meter and let us know how you like it. Do you already use Search Meter? We'd love to hear from you about how it has improved your online business, service or blog!

The New York Times Develops a WordPress Collaboration Plugin for Editors

Posted: 06 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT


Earlier this year, the New York Times released a WordPress plugin that will help sites that use editors to proofread and edit others' posts or sites where writers collaborate on the same post. The plugin, called Integrated Content Editor (or ICE), allows changes to a post to be tracked and then accepted or rejected, much like the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word.

Here's a glimpse of the plugin in action:

In an interview with Poynter.org, Chief Technology Officer Marc Frons from the Times explained why the paper first had the tool developed for their own use.

When you're working in a collaborative environment as we and a lot of journalistic organizations are, you really need that ability for multiple people to touch a piece of copy, and for those changes that everyone has made to be catalogued and archived and shown, so that there's a record of who's done what to who, when. …

No one on the Web had such a thing, because most bloggers, when you think about that, are smaller operations than most newsrooms.

 

Tracking Changes Built In

WordPress, of course, already does allow you to compare different versions of a document by going to the bottom of the Write/Edit screen and choosing different saved documents. However, this method can be somewhat clunky under certain conditions. The inline method that the ICE plugin employs seems much more convenient.

(Note: If you don't see this option at the bottom of your screen, make sure the "Revisions" box is checked under your "Screen Options" tab at the top of the page.)

 

Downloading the Plugin

The ICE plugin is can be downloaded at GitHub, but the files at that page contain more than a simple WordPress plugin. If you are a developer, then you should be able to easily decipher what's what. If you are less experienced with different types of code, then to get the functionality that you see in the first screenshot above, follow these steps:

  1. Download the file to your computer
  2. Unzip it
  3. Dig down into the folders in this order: ice_0.4.0 > ice_0.4.0 > wp-plugin > mce-revisions
  4. Zip the "mce-revisions" folder
  5. Upload the zipped mce-revisions folder to your site by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload
  6. Install and Activate the plugin

You can see the blog post from the NY Times where they talk about the tool and their reasons behind its development.

Nice themes for Magazine - Gonzo - Clean, Responsive WP Magazine


Take your blog to the Next Level with Gonzo

Whether you want to give your dusty old blog a new coat of paint or are drowning in a sea of posts and categories, Gonzo is here to your rescue.
Simplify and present your content in a way that is accessible, logical and beautiful.

Responsive and Future Proof

Gonzo is built with semantic HTML5 /CSS3 and is completely responsive. Not only is it responsive but it also keeps that magazine feel right down to mobile screen sizes. Practically every typographic element has been endlessly tweaked for different screen sizes to make sure it looks great no matter what the device.

Review System

Easy to use review system with support for both stars and percentage ratings. You also have the option of placing the review at the top or bottom of the post.
On top of that, the reviews and other posts share the same taxonomy (category system). You can mix the reviews in with your other content or separate them; that’s your call.

Flexible Layouts

Want a simple blogroll that you set up in minutes? Gonzo’s got you covered. Want the flexibility of organising huge mass of content in a simple, clear and logical way? Yup, Gonzo’s got your back there too.
There are two main styles of blogroll. On top of that are five different layout modules that you can pick and choose between for more complex layouts. Clear and sensible spacing, combined with good hierarchy will ensure that even the fustiest troglodyte will have no problem navigating your blog.

Legible and Accessible Content

Legibility and accessibility should be of major concern when choosing a magazine theme and Gonzo does not disappoint. Clear typographic hierarchy and cross-device compatibility will ensure that not only will you reach more people, those same people won’t have to squint or mess around with the zoom on their mobile devices.
As well as that, there’s also a .po file for localisation. The theme uses Google Fonts so adding different character sets (eg Cyrillic) is a cinch.

Professional Support

Keeping Pest Infestations At Bay-bed bugs control,exterminate bed bugs,pests control services,pest management in Singapore

Keeping Pest Infestations At Bay


by Anne Gilmore


No matter how grand or simple your residence is, you aren't spared from pest infestation especially if you do not keep every nook and cranny spotlessly clean. But no matter what you do, a dilemma still exists: nobody could really know where or when pests strike.

Your Pest Problems Answered

There is, however, a better solution once pests get out of control: professional pest control. These professionals are technically skilled in cockroach, rodent, fly, termite, as well as mosquito control. Each of these requires a different method, and depending on how terrible the infestation is, you might find yourself eliminating pests easier or longer.

The first move before calling the specialists is to protect one's home against continuous growth of these pests. One thing to keep in mind: most pests live on dark, damp, derelict, and unkempt areas. It is therefore prudent for homeowners to make their homes as unfriendly to pests as they can.

Do It Yourself Pest Control

A quick rodent control technique is keeping food stuff, particularly leftovers, in tightly sealed containers and storing them either in a sealed cabinet or the refrigerator. Keep yourself cautious of bits of food that are left in the house or on the table, as these also attract ants and cockroaches apart from rats.

Keeping water containers sealed properly is an excellent mosquito control method, as is cleaning up areas which gather in dampness. Mosquitoes breed on stagnant water, and permitting them to breed and ultimately live in your home will prove very unsafe for your family. Termites are also found in damp areas, particularly those from 23 to 33 degrees Celsius. This is why you ought to clean the darkest corners of your house to prevent these darkness-loving pests from making it their home.

When your pest problem gets out of control, it is time to seek the help of trained specialists. Although it's always recommended to take caution by keeping your house pest proof, by no means attempt killing them off by yourself since you might inflict more harm than good. A crucial rule you must always follow in dealing with pests: avert what you could, but leave all else to the professionals. These small creatures are never worth your life or your home.

Bedbugs - How To Get Rid Of These Parasitic Pests-pests control services,bed bugs extermination,fumigation services,pest management in Singapore

Bedbugs - How To Get Rid Of These Parasitic Pests


by Ping Enriquez


Like every pest known to man, bed bugs are aggravating tiny creatures that wreak havoc in our lives. These nocturnal bugs not only spoil our sleep by preying on us during nighttime, they also leave us with inflamed and unpleasant rashes. Because of their small size, they are seldom seen, but their presence can undeniably be felt. Unfortunately for us, they spread so easily in our home. They are also hard to spot and difficult to get rid of.

Bed bugs are small parasitic insects that are elliptical in shape and a tiny reddish brown in color. They are only around five millimeters long, and can disappear in small gaps in the walls or floors and in snug spaces in mattresses, pillows, clothing, and other fabrics. Bedbugs, or Cimex lectularius, got their name because they attack at night and they have a penchant for attacking people while they sleep in bed.

They have been bugging people for thousands of years. There was even an instance during the 1940s that they were almost completely eliminated in North America, but they have returned in mid 1990s. And today, they are as frustrating as ever before.

Because they can hide in small crevices and attack during our sleep when we least know it, they are almost undetectable to people. We can still extinguish them even though we can rarely catch them in action. But admittedly, they are more difficult to wipe out than other parasites like cockroaches and mosquitoes.

To extinguish mosquitoes and other pests, we need to get rid of their breeding ground, which is likely a puddle of stagnant water and filthy and wet spots. We can fumigate the house and get rid of the trouble places. But with bed bugs, they easily distribute everywhere in the house so it's difficult to spot where they are hiding. It's not recommended to fumigate our beds, clothing, etc. But they are still not unbeatable. They can be wiped out from our houses with tried and tested methods.

Fumigation is just one of the numerous steps to extinguish bed bugs. There are lots of processes involved. Cleaning the whole residence and putting protective cases on the bed, pillows, and other items can also help. Some people think using pesticides can solve the problem, but bed bugs can easily develop resistance to most products so it probably won't work completely. It's time to call on the professional bug exterminators if the infiltration continues or exacerbates despite all efforts.
