Let’s face it, the default WordPress login screen is quite boring. Nothing to get too excited about, is it? Very… grey. So it’s worth spending a little time changing it with a simple plugin. Why change your WordPress site login page? WordPress site owners can brand the login area to match their branding and colours. If you are […]
Missing MailChimp Subscribe Button? That’s not good… I worked on a WordPress site recently where there was a problem with an embedded MailChimp form. The form had been created and added to the site, but the Subscribe button wasn’t showing up. While the form could still be completed and submitted by clicking the Enter button, it […]
The last time Edinburgh had a WordCamp was in 2012. I was fresh out of university and eager to meet members of the WordPress community. I’d dabbled a bit with WordPress a few years before, but was keen to learn more and meet members of the local WP community. The weekend conference drew attendees from […]
What’s happened to Twitter’s Share Counts? Tweet 0 I discovered the other day through using Coschedule’s social sharing tools that I could no longer see the share count for my posts shared on Twitter. Personally, I don’t display share counts on my actual posts because I don’t tend to get large numbers of shares. But this still […]

On Wednesday evening I was fortunate enough to hear ActionCoach CEO and entrepreneur Brad Sugars for a second time. Brad was in Edinburgh touring with his presentation Brad Sugars Uncensored. It certainly live up to that reputation. Brad is a straight talking businessman from Brisbane, Australia – and he didn’t pull his punches. Some of […]
WordPress and Images WordPress is actually pretty smart when it comes to images. Images have two main sizes associated with them: Image file size, which is measured in KB or MB Image dimensions, measured in pixels (px) The two values are related – the smaller the image, the lower the file size. When you upload an image, WordPress […]
The web is built on hyperlinks. When all is well and good, every link on our site will lead exactly to the right place. But sometimes links go bad.
The Content Marketing Academy 2015 – so what was that? I attended one of the best conferences I’ve been to lately, The Content Marketing Academy 2015. The conference took place over 2 days on 3 and 4 September. We were promised that we’d learn things that would take our business one year ahead of the competition – […]
