I just woke to the news that Andy Rooney has passed on this morning. This just after retiring from 60 Minutes a few weeks ago from one of my favorite News shows, 60 Minutes.
Every Sunday I would look forward to hearing what he would have to say. You will be missed Mr. Rooney.
One of the great things about WordPress is the ability to download a vast array of plugins. I have to say one of my favorites has always been WordPress Shopping Cart better known as WPSC by us Designers/Devs.
With the [ latest release ] out now for a few months I have to say I’m impressed by all the changes. No more fussing around with the taxes. Easier to apply now to the state. Images were a bit tricky in the older version and now you simply add one nice size image for 3 setting sized thumbs. Although I think it would be best if they had individual fields to apply images for each product rather than make it a guessing game for the newb. Not so fun trying to figure out where the heck you add more images.
The ability to add products like creating a post is brilliant. Creating Categories and sub Cats is a lot easier now too.
My hats off to the guys and gals at [ GetShopped.org ] they did a terrific job and I can’t wait to see the future updates to come. For a free shopping cart plugin this one does a great job. For added features, sure, you have to pay a little but it beats paying $10k to have it built from scratch now doesn’t it?
For those of you having trouble with JW player and other advance Video players out there I’ve got great news. Well, news if you didn’t already know.
I give you Simple Video Embedder by Author: James Lao. This bad boy is exactly what it says it is,”Simple”.
It plays a handful of video formats. Vimeo being my favorite. It plays Youtube as well. Give it a try.
I just came across this site iloveglasses.com and I want to warn everyone out there that this site is a scam site. They take your money and don’t send you anything. Their emails to customers are created ahead of time. DO NOT BUY from them. Spread the word.
I’ve called my buddy at the Attorney Generals office for New York and I have a call into the FBI to investigate these con artist. Make sure you spread the word so we can get this site shut down. Their parent company is My Modern Fashion. They claim to be in Brooklyn, NY but I think it’s safe to say they’re in Nigeria, Russia, or England. Scamming people out of their hard earn money.
If you’ve been scammed by iloveglasses.com comment here and let me know. I’m compiling a list to get these assholes taking off the web.
Just created this cool new Landing page in WordPress for TheOrangeButterfly.com. Their website will be coming out in August. I added a built in Twitter and Google Analytics options with tons of theme options. Check it out and give me some feedback. Thanks.
