Thursday, April 19th, 2012Using TimThumb with WordPress Post Thumbnails
Saturday, March 31st, 2012The WordPress post thumbnails functionality has become a basic necessity of theme coding, but it does have its limitations. Mainly you are stuck with the image sizes you specify in the Settings – Media tab. You can also specify your own image sizes, but clients undoubtedly want to change their image sizes over time or within one website over and over and over and over….

Some recent business changes

Creative Symbiosis: Designer and Coder Cooperate
Monday, January 11th, 2010We’ve had a couple of clients lately who have brought their own designs to us, in need of coding and installing with a content management system (namely WordPress). While we do create designs for some clients, our specialty is really coding and custom programming. So when we find a talented designer, it works out well to cooperate and let each of us concentrate on our specialties. (more…)
WP-Hive: a painless WordPress multi-site manager
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Upgrading and maintaining a WordPress installation has recently become a lot less time-consuming thanks to the automatic upgrade feature for both the main WordPress installation and the plugins. It is ideal, though, if you’re managing multiple installations for multiple clients, that these clients are running off of one installation of WordPress. This makes upgrades and maintenance a lot less painful. (more…)
