Marty — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:00:24 +0000

Tweet A short time ago I provided some shortcode that would return future (scheduled) posts with shortcode. The following code is similar in design… except that it will return random posts from your WordPress database. In terms of Conversion Rate Optimization, generating random posts on your blog gives your readers another means of ‘escape’ from [...]

Count the Number of Shares to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn & Google Plus

Marty — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:45:09 +0000

Tweet I’ve recently consolidated two websites (FlyingTraining.net and CrewResourceManagement.com) into flight.org as a means of managing my time and resources more effectively. The other sites will be revived in one way or another but they’ll be built ‘low maintenance’. Apart from the multiple site to manage, there was a large overlap in content that was [...]

Marty — Sun, 06 May 2012 14:45:28 +0000

Tweet The last couple of months has been busy for me. In one of my other lives I work as an airline pilot for an Aussie carrier. I recently migrated from our long-haul Boeing 777 fleet over to the Boeing 737 where I’m currently undergoing line training. As is evidenced from this website over the [...]

A Better Way of Coding Custom Functions and CSS: A Shortcode Plugin.

Marty — Sat, 05 May 2012 08:00:27 +0000

Tweet Some time back I wrote a blog titled, “Better WordPress Custom Coding – custom functions/css file“. At the time, I was using the Thesis framework (which I really don’t like at all now, especially since Genesis) and the little hack emulated the way in which we referenced a custom_functions.php file containing all our custom [...]

Redirect WordPress Search Result if it Only Returns One Post

Marty — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:15:04 +0000

Tweet If you searched Internoetics for “FMA CDU” prior to today, the site would have returned only one single result. It’s a fairly specific search term and it’s pretty clear what the user is looking for. In such instances, what’s the point of generating a “list” of search results when it’s a single result they’re [...]

Add Anything to the End of WordPress Post Content

Marty — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:30:10 +0000

Tweet I’ve just added a box at the end of every post encouraging a subscription to my mailing list. The only other location it appears on the page is in the left hand column… but the colors and size tends to dull it out. As I’ve been sending more and more free code to mailing [...]

Marty — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 07:15:28 +0000

Tweet The Facebook Like Box is a social ‘plugin’ that enables website owners to attract visitors, likes and support of their Facebook page directly from their website or blog. It can be styled in a minimalistic sense (see my like button in the right column) or it can be further populated with data showing how [...]

Add the WordPress Header and Footer, and Utilise the Features of WP on a non-WordPress Page

Marty — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 23:36:20 +0000

Tweet It was only a few minutes after posting a link to this page that I received a question on how it was done. It may not look like anything special, and it isn’t, but the whole page was rendered with just a few lines of code. Basically, I’m using the WordPress header and footer, [...]
