Embed a Facebook post or update on my blog?

August 23, 2013 / Dave Taylor / Facebook Help, Wordpress Help / No Comments

I read the other day that it’s now possible to embed Facebook posts and status updates on your own blog, effectively having a tiny window into your Facebook profile right there on whatever page you’d like. Sounds great, but how do I accomplish this neat little FB trick?

July 26, 2013 / Dave Taylor / Web Site Traffic Tips, Wordpress Help / 2 Comments

I’m excited that a local book author wants me to host a giveaway for her book on my blog. Cool. I’ve seen other people do it. But how? Is there a good tool or utility that’ll make it easy for me to collect entries and even maybe get a few new people to like my fan page on Facebook?

How do I update my WordPress plugins?

May 21, 2013 / Dave Taylor / Wordpress Help / No Comments

I’m a newbie with Wordpress and have been told by more than one blogging expert that it’s important I keep my plugins updated since there are apparently lots of hackers who use plugin holes to sneak in and mess things up. Which leads to my question: how do I update my Wordpress plugins?

Google Slides and YouTube Unlisted Videos for Content Creators

November 30, 2012 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Wordpress Help / No Comments

This is a guest post by Matt Moran…
Google Slides (formerly Google Presentations) has added the ability to embed “Unlisted” YouTube videos into your presentations. This has tremendous implications and usefulness for content publishers. In effect, presentations can be maintained and kept up to date without having to republish all of the content.
Let me explain…
I am a business coach… and a consultant… and an author… and a speaker… Plus I write & perform the occasional song. Content is my domain. Content is King!
One set of tools I use is Google Drive (Google Docs). If you are NOT using Google Drive… Create a Google (Gmail) account and start today!

Get my shopping cart plugin to work with WordPress?

August 16, 2012 / Dave Taylor / PayPal Help, Wordpress Help / 2 Comments

We’ve put in a shopping cart for a client that’s not working, and we need some help!
The cart is currently using the WP-ecommerce plugin. Even the developers of this plugin admit this thing needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch. Yeah. Anyway, the products on the site require a very sophisticated level of functionality that affects shipping based on country and zip code.
We’ve hacked the plugin to pieces to make this work, and there are still errors that are costing her sales. It would be easy to limit shipping on a product-by-product basis, but that’s not the way her store works. Like on Cafe Press: I want the slogan that says “My mom can beat up your dad.” Once I select the slogan, I can choose to purchase that slogan on a t-shirt, mug, or bumper sticker. However, if I live in London, I shouldn’t even be offered the bumper sticker, for example, since it can’t be shipped.
See our problem? Got any WordPress solutions for us??
