CMS Migration

WordPress, Joomla, K2, Drupal, TYPO3, Blogger, Tumblr… have you ever needed to migrate from one site to the other? We have and it’s often torturous and requires a ton of manual effort. Not only that, but even once you have the content transferred, it often doesn’t deal with users, category and tag taxonomies, URL slugs, comments or images. In short, it’s always been a lot of work… until now. Alex Griffis, the CTO of MaxTradeIn (fantastic site for trading in your car), told me about CMS2CMS tonight. CMS2CMS has actually … Continue reading →

Why WordPress.com

WordPress is one of the major blogging platforms available and comes in two forms, WordPress.com and WordPress.org. First form, WordPress.com, is a commercial service that offers free and paid blogging tools (using WordPress of course) on the web. WordPress.com uses the software as a service model (a.k.a. SaS), maintaining the blogging software tools and taking care of things like security and content delivery (bandwidth, storage, etc.). The second form, WordPress.org, is the community that helps develop and maintain the open source version of the WordPress software. The whole of the … Continue reading →

Zapier Workflow

I never realized that I’d have to wait 6 years before we’d begin seeing applications that intelligently visualized application programming interfaces… but we’re finally getting there. Yahoo! Pipes launched in 2007 and had some connectors for manipulating and connecting systems, but it lacked integration with plethora of web services and APIs that were exploding across the web. Zapier is nailing it… enabling you to automate tasks between online services – currently 181! Zapier is for busy people who know their time is better spent selling, marketing, or coding. Instead of … Continue reading →

Love

One of the cool things about being both a blog and having an agency is that our sponsors aren’t just writing a check every month, we’re actually consulting with them on their business efforts, utilizing their platforms, and both of us are benefiting from the relationship. I want to take some time to talk about the tools that we use… not all of them are sponsors, but they all help us every day. Our blog is lightening fast and our uptime is better than it ever has been in the … Continue reading →

Add a Home Icon to the WordPress Navigation Menu

Home

We love WordPress and work with it virtually every day. The navigation menu that’s been active in WordPress is incredible – a nice drag and drop feature that’s easy to use. If your theme doesn’t have a menu section where you can modify your menus, you need to find a new developer! With the addition of our Ajax load, I wanted to reduce the size of the home link on the navigation menu and simply put a home icon. Adding an icon isn’t an option via WordPress, though, so we … Continue reading →
