Review: Platium SEO Pack Plugin

Posted on 02/11/2009 by Drakenhart

As I learn more about SEO and Plugins in general, I decided to trim down some of the multiple-use plugins for ones that were all inclusive. In short, fewer plugins helps the site run faster and load more quickly. So I want the power of many of these SEO Plugins without the need for so many downloads. The Platinum SEO Pack offers this and is a pretty powerful tool. So far I like what it offers and have disabled other SEO Plugins. But I did discover something. After visiting the Site Grader, it informed me that I had not site … Continue reading →

AdRotate Banner Flexibility!

Posted on 01/25/2009 by The Artist

One of the problems I had with AdRotate was that the widget form doesn’t allow for multiple widgets to show different groups of banners in a sidebar. (At the time of this writing.) At least, not using the WordPress admin panel.  But, after reading through the site I realized you can ad banners everywhere. No really…, everywhere! Thinking about that I realized we can even add them to our headers, or better yet use it to replace the header image entirely! *shock* Now one thing I’ve always wanted to do is to have my “skins” change for the seasons.

WordPress.tv? Yes! Video Tutorials Ahoy!

Posted on 01/19/2009 by The Artist

WordPress got wise, real wise. They’ve started to populate their new domain, WordPress.tv, with videos. This tickles me in ways I can barely begin to describe. First: I’m a person who is very much supportive of people using the proper ending to their domains. The endings were created to help differentiate between content types. This way people would know from first glance just what the company is, does, and it’s intents. .com –> Commercial Business (Drakenhart Studios.com is being held by a friend currently. Lost contact.) .net –> Network (We are in our own way a network. Rather then just … Continue reading →

Designing a WordPress Theme (2.7)

Posted on 01/13/2009 by The Artist

Welcome viewers. If you are like me, you’ve scoured the web for more information in a more concise and basic form. The WordPress Codex is great, but huge and bulky. Buying the next “how to” book may only leave you behind as the CMS upgrades over time. So what I offer here is the most up to date listing of information, tutorials, links, reviews and pointers to try and help you along in your designing needs. WordPress may seem daunting, with all of it’s php code and not-quite stero-like instructions. But once it is broken down, yuo are good to … Continue reading →

Turning a WordPress Blog into a CMS for Websites

Posted on 01/08/2009 by The Artist

In the Beginning…. This has been a rather educational experience and then some. Suffice to say everyone is trying to sell something, and often they are trying to sell you convenience wrapped up in a pretty little package. Not here. My services are by far much different, though I too can offer you that same convenience by doing much of this work for you for a fee. Instead I would rather share with you the information and sites I’ve discovered that helped me. Yet as I do this I hope I do not “shoot myself in the foot” in the … Continue reading →
