Hey Guys, Its been a long while since I last posted and for good reason! I have had my head down learning all sorts of new development langauges and techniques. I am here because I have a personal technology blog aimed at PC enthusiasts and gamers, PerformancePSU. I do my best to update content daily, I have polished the design the best I can but I am suffering from a terrible CTR on my adverts. Any feedback regarding the design and advert placement would be great. http://www.performancepsu.com/

So according to Performance PSU (I'll attach article source below), it seems as if the hottest tech to emerge in the 21st century will be making a one day appearence on the shop shelves, but theres a catch - Americans only, you have to be 18 and also have a spare $1,500 burning a whole in your pocket.

Hey guys, Teo kindly pointed out thats its been well over 6 months since I showed my face here last so thought I better come check in and say hi to you all. How has everyone been doing?

The most common jobs i have, is fixing peoples websites either from cutting corners and costs or just by being to trusting with what their designer says. You really get what you pay for in this world, and websites are no exception. You may think that those quotes was expensive, but they are alll based on your ROI, For example, if a website will make you £30,000 profit in 1 year, then its perfectlly acceptable to be getting charged £3,000+ for your website.

global $wp_rewrite; $authorbase = $wp_rewrite->author_base; echo $authorbase This will get the $author_base from the database and echo it to the page. I have tested this with scripts that change the authorbase and it correctly picks it up as well

Hey guys, I am developing a profile plugin at the moment, all profile plugins i tried seem to be reinventing the wheel and creating new pages and leaving the author pages to rot. Everything is working, but i can see a flaw if someone has changed their author base. 1) get the $author_base using wp->rewrite and pass the variable over to 'post_name' and 'post_title' when creating the page with my activation hook 2) Change the /author/ slug using some php code in my plugin, but that will result in 404 pages for established sites. Basically, I need to retrieive the $author_base and pass it over to a variable. echo $wp_rewrite->author_base; If i use the above code it will echo the author_base url but only if i use it like that, as soon as i assign it to a variable it just return array, meaning when my activation hook creates a new it creates the page with no title and no page slug. Any ideas how i can retrieve $author_base, store it in a variable and pass into wp_insert_post function?

Welcome to the forum Wahid, I have my main website hosted with you guys on a VDS, Very impressed with not on the reliability of the server, its speed but also the amazing support you guys provide. I Recommend you to all my clients

You need to sanitize the user input, for example, it will strip out php tags, html tags etc etc. This is the basic one i use for my wordpress control panel user input forms.. function plugin_options_validate ($input) { // Create our array for storing the validated options $output = array(); // Loop through each of the incoming options foreach( $input as $key => $value ) { // Check to see if the current option has a value. If so, process it. if( isset( $input[$key] ) ) { // Strip all HTML and PHP tags and properly handle quoted strings $output[$key] = strip_tags( stripslashes( $input[ $key ] ) ); } // end if } // end foreach // Return the array processing any additional functions filtered by this action return apply_filters( 'plugin_options_validate', $output, $input ); Hope this helps

HI all, Im currently writing up a blog article on the above subject and would love to hear all the graphic designers views on being undervalued for the effort time invested into clients.. Regards - Andy

Ive looked at the emotions sparked behind color, and I've always been going with dark / blue / white, just for trust and authority. Currently working on a design on my local atm working with a really nice pastil red white grays and blacks. Its working so far but how the user will perceive it is a different kettle of fish. My logo is a simple gray scale word logo atm...i dont want their focus on my logo anyway i want it on my awesome words of persuasion

nope not at all, was just throwing that in there. If you include say yellow in your name you instantly have a colour scheme to go with because it makes sense and users accept that. Theres so many factors which can contribute to a great website and i think a well thought out name can really set the mood. Dont know if theres a company, but imagine 'jelly bean design'. You could have a full page splash with jelly beans a playful motto... it makes sense

Pretty nice site, but thats a good example, they have a good name so there logo branding is easy. Im really struggling to get a logo done atm

Hi All, I have not posted in a while but would like to discuss something that has been on my mind over the past 6 months while trying to redesign my website several times ( im a perfectionist and something is just never right ). Can your business name make or break your website design / branding? In short, I believe it can and here's why. Take a look at the following website, notice their brand name and how it directly relates to their website design it give them an angle and something to work with in a effort to create a memorable experience, http:// yellowduckwebdesign .co.uk/ What are your thoughts guys?
