Oh my god is that a widget!
WordPress I wanted to write another CSS based article or two for this weekend but ive spent a few hours looking into widgets. This is a brief article about widgets and what they can do for your site Im a huge fan of Technorati. The wordpress dashboard has a great little feature which shows you the ‘Incoming Links’ to your site via Technorati. Ive looked at the code in the index-extra.php file in the wp-admin directory but ive struggled to ...

Making Money Text Link Ads is a great way to start bringing some extra revenue in from your site. However, it can be frustrating if you are not selling all your inventory. Remember, you can sell up to 10 ads through them and you should aim to sell all ten. As i mentioned before in my review of text link ads, ad prices are set for you and are determined by your page rank and alexa status.

WordPress Themes Template Monster have over a hundred professional designs available for around $50. On the whole these designs tend to be of a much higher quality than the free themes which are available online.

Software & Programs If your using cpanel then you’ll already have some good stat programs which you can use to monitor your traffic, most notably awstats and webalizer. Stat programs rarely seem to agree with each other which is why i like to use 1 or 2 more stat programs to give me a more balanced and realistic impression of what traffic to my site is really like. Im particularly a big fan of seeing where referrals are coming from ie. what sites and what ...

Site News The site is two weeks old today! In website terms we aren’t even out of our nappies yet! However, I thought it would be good to have a self review of the site so far. What do I need to do, what shouldnt I do etc. I think its very important to ask yourself these questions with your blog when you are first starting, particularly if your a first time blogger. I currently own 4 blogs – 3 commerical and a personal blog for pics etc for my ...

WordPress Themes The first theme i released seems to have been received well so im also releasing this one. Ill be honest and say that i was of two minds whether to release this theme.

Continue readingThe difference between an id and a class in CSS
CSS Newbies to CSS might be a little confused as to the differences between classes and ids. I thought it would be good to write a post about this and help clarify these differences. Both ids and classes allow you to structure and display your site and information the way you want. However there are two very small differences between classes and ids. An id identifier can only be used once in a page/document whereas a class can be used as many times ...
