Wordpress Plugins Basics ebook available!
So I've got the Wordpress Plugins Basics ebook available now. Woo hoo! One of those things that I wanted to create for people who are just getting started with Wordpress and aren't really sure what a plugin is or which ones you should use. Because there are literally thousands of great plugins available, I just started with some of the plugins that I thought were important to install and understand when you're new to Wordpress. One of the examples in the book is the Plugin for Google Analytics. It's important to get this installed right away so you can start looking ...
New WP Logo…show your support
[caption id="attachment_426" align="alignleft" width="70" caption="Pink WP support logo"][/caption] Here's one of my recent Wordpress Logo customizations (that sounds like such a mouthful, huh?). I've added a little twist to this download though. For every dowload of this logo, I will donate a dollar to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research foundation. I've added an opt-in box, which once you've submitted your name and email, you'll receive the link for the download. Don't worry if you've already opted in to this site (you won't get duplicate newsletters)- this is so I can track the actual downloads AND.....drumroll please....... I will draw a name ...
San Francisco Wordcamp
So I was reading something the other day that the San Francisco Wordcamp had gotten a new website, so of course I immediately checked it out- and it looks great! I contacted them probably a month ago letting them know that I want to volunteer, which they were great and got back to me within a day and said they would contact me as the event got closer (I also requested to PLEASE let me work something inside the event as I haven't attended a Wordcamp before I REALLY want to hear the whole event). They told me they would find ...
Sexy Bookmark Plugin…update
I 'spoke' (ok, it was email...) with Josh Jones, the creator of the Sexy Bookmark plugin a week or so ago and he gave me some updates as to what's happening with the Sexy Bookmark plugin. He told me he's going to completely bypass the version 1.4 and go straight to version 2.0, which has a bunch of major changes including MORE SITES....and some improvements. Here's a list of what's going to be in version 2.0: New Sites: Newsvine (http://newsvine.com ) LinkedIn (http://linkedin.com ) Devmarks (http://devmarks.com Google (http://www.google.com/bookmarks) Subscribe to comments RSS feed Email this article to a friend Restructured options page, more user friendly v2.0 uses the new ...
San Francisco Tweet Up
Only 5 days away! Don't forget to register for the first San Francisco Tweet Up! If you've never been to a Tweet Up, they're a blast! I went to my first Tweet Up in Sacramento last month. It was hosted by Alejandro Reyes (The Success Fool) and was hosted at a great bar called the Boxing Donkey (great Irish Pub). It was such a great mix of people, great conversations, and tons of possibility. Join us for the first San Francisco Tweet Up this coming Tuesday, April 28th at Jillian's in San Francisco (located inside the Metreon). It's free- so join us ...

Hide a Widget PluginSo this plugin isn’t actually called ‘Hide a Widget’ - but that’s exactly what this plugin does, sort of. It basically allows you to decide which pages you want specific plugins to appear on- so if you want to set up a sales page without any widgets on it (other than maybe an opt-in box or a video)- then this plugin will do exactly...

Wordpress and WPMU to mergeSo I went to San Francisco Wordcamp this past Saturday. Tons of great speakers and upcoming news about Wordpress. One of the announcements Matt Mullenweg gave during his ‘State of the Word” address was that Wordpress and WPMU will be merging. He didn’t give a date as to when this is going to happen, but it’s pretty great! Hopefully... [Read more of this review]
San Francisco WordcampSo I’m TOTALLY excited…..I’m volunteering at Wordcamp on Saturday (I think I’m from 12:30- 3:30- making sure the speaker has dry erase pens, the doors are shut, etc……whatever….it doesn’t really matter to me! :-)) , so I received an email today about our badges for the event and the line up of speakers……OMG!...

A Favorite Wordpress CheatOk, so this is one of my favorite little Wordpress cheats for people who don’t know html, but need to use it in a widget (or sales page, or anywhere else you might need it! ). You might wonder why you would need to use html in a widget when you’re not just copying & pasting code (for an autoresponder, twitter badge, facebook badge,... [Read more of this review]
Featured-content-gallery updateThis plugin just keeps getting better and better! I first noticed the changes to this plugin on a client’s site. Initially I thought it was just a recent update that they (or I) had missed, so when I updated it and went to look at the settings for the plugin, I was thrilled to see the updates that were made. There are more options to customize... [Read more of this review]
