What if I upload a photo and then realize it’s too big? Since we’re living in an era where even your phone takes an image that can be 1800 pixels wide or long, it’s a good thing the newer versions of WordPress have a native re-size function! The only thing you need is to know [...]

Portfolio Slideshow is a plugin that will allow you to have a gallery set up on a page (or pages) that contains thumbnails along with a selected image. This is great for websites where the main focus is visual. I’m using for a new site for Li Clement, a North Shore-based artist who wanted to [...]

Since I am in the process of updating several clients’ sites to WordPress 3.5, I thought it would be good to have a guide to the new Media Upload function on hand for their reference.  It’s a far more efficient tool in the sense that you can now access all media via the “Add Media” [...]

While working with a new client on a site to showcase their beautiful photos of Ireland, I got to work on my first Squarespace site and it’s (mostly) a great experience so far. My only issue in working on it is that a few things that should be made obvious (like how to add a [...]

It’s basically very easy. All it [...]

One of the many reasons that I switched from my hosting provider’s webmail to a gmail account is the sheer size of the images clients send via email. Which brings up a valid question for a lot of clients who want to add their own images to their WordPress site: How to resize the multi-megabyte [...]

I attended my first WordPress Meetup tonight and it was an amazing experience. Just to realize that other people out there have had clients who erase a lovingly customized embedded Google map (“Html view? What’s that?”) made me feel that much less alone in the universe. Not only was I going to my first meetup [...]

-Now shake hands and play nice… I’m putting together a proposal site for a (potential) client and using Sayontan’s excellent “Suffusion” theme. What makes it awesome (for me) is that it’s a snap to customize with the various customizing menus. And, it comes with a bunch of different layout templates so it’s easy to set [...]
