Blogger.net.au and the iSnare WordPress Plugin

Marty — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:07:54 +0000

Tweet On April 27, 2008, I set up Blogger.net.au and wrote about the purpose of the site on InterNoetics (formerly martinetics.com). The post was oriented around turnkey-style websites and the ‘myth’ that they made money. It’s funny reading back on what I wrote back then because – although my opinion hasn’t changed in any drastic [...]

Happy (belated) New Year!

Marty — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:07:51 +0000

Tweet I’ve been a little lazy lately… at least in terms of updating this blog. I’ve involved myself in a number of other projects that were all competing for my attention so finding the time for my own passion projects had to take a back seat. I’ve not followed up on comments, emails or support [...]

Google Chart WordPress Shortcode

Marty — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:55:33 +0000

If you don’t know what Google Charts are, it’s worth checking out the massive resources available on the Google Chart Tools website. Google describes their service as “… [the] perfect way to visualize data on [...]

Resizing Images using TimThumb.php

Marty — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:14:04 +0000

Tweet I recently had a request for some shortcode that would render formatted images and text in a particular way. When I tried to imagine how the average author on one of my blogs would apply the shortcode, I ran into the problem of how image scaling would be handled. Some of the people I [...]

Conversion Rate Optimisation opportunities for people near YOU – Geographic information in WordPress Titles

Marty — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:05:31 +0000

Tweet Did my headline get your attention? The title should have rendered the city you’re in (or one you’re near) based on your geographic location. I’ve tested geographic based headlines on three sites for the last month with click-through-rates increasing by much as 600% – although it averaged about 300% on most days. That’s a [...]

Conversion Rate Optimization

Marty — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:05:09 +0000

Tweet Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) is orientated around optimising or converting the traffic that has landed on your website or blog. It’s easy to throw lots of money into Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and traffic generation but this means nothing if you have no plan to convert or monetise that traffic that you’re successful in [...]

PHP Threaded Comment Class

Marty — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 06:48:57 +0000

Tweet A few years ago I built a dodgy little site at Usenet.com.au that rendered Australian text Usenet newsgroups. I’ve since disabled posting while I give the website a complete face lift. One of the biggest challenges I faced in the early days was orientated around optimising threaded articles. With several million articles in the [...]

Tweet Michael Harvey of New York, USA, asks: “I’ve set up private WordPress pages that I’m only giving to friends and family. However, when people use the WordPress search function, these private pages appear in search results. Do you know a fix?” I use the same functionality on my own site(s).
