Yes those are the days I have time available. The device lab is something i run as a side project for the company, the rest of the day I am front-end on another project. I have booked the device and the time, I sent you a PM with my email address.

So I am available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday next week from around 3pm, let me know what day works for you and we can arrange a time.

That device is currently being used in testing but is available next week, I might be able to help you depending on how long and if your happy to do it after office hours.

Hi Adam, I found myself asking myself a similar question. I wanted to learn a new framework but wasnt sure which one would be the one for me. I found a nice course on frontendmasters.com which helped me to pick. It does require that you play but it is worth it.

Hi CreativeSheep. I run an open device lab in London, if your in the area you are welcome to come and sit in one of our hot desks. PM me if you would like more info

There are loads of recourses online but would recommend the tutsplus and treehouse which is mentioned above. I have both of these myself and use them regularly. They are really easy to follow and worth every penny.

WP_query is a better way to query posts.

I also prefer writing my own CSS and if your new to development I would suggest writing your own CSS and HTML from scratch as you will learn a lot more from it. But with that said I do us a framework from time to time. I use it when I am playing with PHP or angular because it allows me to focus on the function of what I am doing and not spending too much time on styles and HTML. I also use it when I want to get started on building backend when the designs are not ready yet. It allows me to get everything working and when the designs are ready I only need to reskin it. More on what BlueDreamer said, I built a site with a framework and the total minified size was 91kb, this made me unhappy so I built it over from scratch and I managed to reduce the weight to 49kb which is a big saving.

Its not the best way to do it as it is a hack, but I have used it and worked great for me @-moz-document url-prefix() { .selector { color:blue; } } You could also use http://conditionizr.com/ which will detect any browser and load assets for that browser.

Thanks for your responses, but please dont mistake me as someone that doesnt know or is too lazy to search. That I am not and if I was I would be in the wrong trade. dw-social-feed - this plugin seams to be abandoned, someone did updated it a while ago but I can see people asking for support and no one is helping, it has open questions for over a year now. Addthis, sharethis, Social Media Feathe, Easy social share buttons, these seam to be post sharing buttons and not plugins for feeds. Sharaholic, nice plugin but its not what I am looking for, but will save this for future. I may not have been very clear or friendly in my opening post. What I was asking is if any of you have used a social media plugin that brought in feeds from twitter, facebook, google or pinterest. So if I update one of my social media pages the new post will display in the feed. I am specifically looking for a plugin that you as a developer or website making person may have used and liked. Something that didnt come jam packed with its own CSS and JS "fluff" so that I can style it to match my site.

I have used all in one SEO and Yoast and I prefer the later. Its easy to use and has everything I need. Our companies SEO guy is really picky about SEO and he has taken many of our clients from being nowhere in search engines to getting first page results. I guess its like any tool, its more on how you use it and its functions.

Hi, I am looking for social media wordpress plugins that will get feeds from facebook, google, twitter and pinterest and output the feed in clean HTML/CSS and not formated as the standard feeds that you get directly from the websites. It can all be individual plugins or one big plugin, all i really need is a widget/shortcode that I lets me control the CSS. Any plugins or suggestions would be greatly appriciated

Why not just use a clearfix? I like to use the micro-clearfix to use it you place class="cf" to the containing element <div class="cf"> <div class="float1">
 text menüpunkte, etc. </div> <div class="float2">
 <img src="bild.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="268" height="177" /> </div> </div>

First you will want to create a child theme, this way if the theme updates you wont loose your pages. Once you have that all setup you create a new file and call it "page-my-awesome-page.php" In that page you can copy the following to the top <?php /** * Template Name: My Awesome Page */ Now you can create a new page on the right side you should be able to select "My Awesome Page" from the page template list

Nillervision makes a very good point, you will have to keep this in mind when working with ajax loaded pages. One of the reasons why I like the ajax version is because it allows me to have a full page with header, navigation and sidebar so if someone does land on one of these pages it would look and feel like the rest of the site. For the search engine part, its always best to keep all the content in the lightbox "simple" but if you do have important information you can set the page to follow and no index, this way search engines will follow the page but wont show the pages in the search results.
