Those DeWolfes Podcast Episode 19: Keepin it Clean

In episode 19, "Keepin' it Clean: Clean Coding Concepts" Mike and Cheryl talk about the need for clean code and script in web design -- whether it's PHP, HTML, CSS or XML -- and what can happen when things go wrong.

WordPress Multimedia Plugins: Adding sizzle to the steak.

If you open the basic plugins page for Wordpress, “popular tags” turn up over 800 plugins for images and another 675 for image -- 1400 plugins? Doesn’t Wordpress have built-in gallery capacity? (Yes it does!)

Extending Wordpress from the out-of-the-box install can make a person crazy -- it’s as though an aisle of cereal weren’t enough so the supermarket offers an entire floor of choice. While we can’t stop developers from constantly re-inventing the wheel, we can at least help beginner and intermediate users find those plugins that are stable, well-supported and just plain work.

The A to Z of Tech

Throughout 2012, Those DeWolfes Creative will be publishing a web series, The A to Z of Tech in which Cheryl will be writing about some of the key concepts, services, hardware, and software that make up our technological world. The biggest challenge for some letters is to narrow it down to one topic!

Free Newsletters

Newsletters are fantastic for building your audience and reaching out to them. Email has the virtues of a web page with two important additional traits: the information can be information not mean for a general audience (stock tips, daily deals, etc.) and makes a non-anonymous link between what you offer and your clients.

DIY Drupal 6.22

Drupal updates come fast and furious. Drupal is a complex beast. The most recent release is Drupal 6.22 (http://drupal.org/node/1168950). I caught wind that site owners are being charged THREE HOURS labour for an exercise that takes approximately 5 minutes. I just prepped a core-code-only install of Drupal 6.22.

Facebook Timeline Images

Contemplating swapping over to the Facebook Timeline? For those of you who don't know, the Facebook timeline is the new profile layout that supposedly tracks your life via this online site (I'm dubious: I barely used Facebook in the 1980s). If you need to a swell photo for your splash zone on your Facebook timeline, grab one of the images we have available for download. We're going to post more, heck-- ask us and we'll make a cool one you'd love to feature for your Facebook timeline!
