Adding an Amazon store to your WordPress site is made easy by Amazon’s aStore builder, but what if you want more features than aStore can provide? There is a better way to create a full featured Amazon Associate store with very powerful customization and configuration options. I’ve written about this amazon store script before and [...]
It’s that time of year when I get a little nostalgic and reflect on life a bit. The next article will be another tutorial I promise, but today I’d like to share some information on how I ended up choosing WordPress and what it means to me personally.
I’m a huge fan of several WordPress theme framework providers like Genesis, Thematic, Hybrid, and others. Each framework builds in some very unique features that can be easily used to position content the way one would like, but often times I find myself needing to make a few tweaks to the child theme files or [...]

If you’re a regular WordPress user, it’s likely you’re aware of the Multisite capabilities that can be activated.

Are you a non-technical small business owner thinking of building your own website? Maybe an experienced do-it-yourself-er who wants to make sure they know what’s involved in creating a website and all the different things to consider before you dive in head first? Would a checklist help? I often meet people who know that building [...]
As a WordPress tutorial writer I try my best to look at the software from a new user’s perspective. Sometimes it’s difficult to remember all the little details I’ve learned about using the platform through the years and that I now take for granted as “second nature knowledge”. I received a series of questions the [...]
In my last WordPress tutorial I explained Page Attributes and how to use them. That tutorial was prompted by a client who’s page navigation was horked. They had set several parent and child pages incorrectly and I was able to see that and get them fixed quickly. However, the navigation menu was still messed up. [...]
Page Attributes in WordPress In all my years working with WordPress I’ve seldom uttered that phrase above but the other day I had to explain how to set them for WordPress, and also explain what they were, where they were, and why you would want to set them a certain way for individual pages. I’ve [...]
I recently wrote a couple other tutorials about WordPress Shortcodes, what they are and how to use them in Widgets. This WordPress tutorial will show you how to create your own Shortcodes. The traditional method of creating Shortcodes includes hand coding them inside your theme’s functions.php file. I’m going to show you an easier way [...]

One of our WP Pro Business clients recently went through a redesign in anticipation for her book release. We moved her to the Genesis framework and implemented a customized version of the Crystal child theme. She needed custom fonts on her site in order to match the design of her book cover. Here’s how we [...]
I was browsing through the WordPress.org support forums today and came across a question by a user who was creating an image grid on a page. There was a border around the table he created and it wasn’t clear on how to remove it. Here’s how I found what was causing the border and how [...]
Creating contact forms in WordPress has been relatively easy with the availability of many different form making plugins. However, creating advanced forms that include features like letting users upload files, creating multiple page forms, etc. while still allowing you (or your clients) to create these inside an easily usable interface, can be a bit difficult. [...]

I recently offered to provide WordPress answers to my readers in the form of screencasts. In this article we’ll learn how to change the default font sizes in the WordPress Tag Cloud.

I recently revealed a free video course named Setup for Success over here that teaches you how to get started with a website powered by WordPress. I didn’t anticipate the overwhelming response. I’m humbled but I’m certainly not complaining! Rest assured that I am diligently working on course #2 which will dive into every detail [...]
I’m delighted to announce the release of the Hide Widget Title plugin. This plugin was created in partnership with some developers that I’ve been working with for the past several months for various personal and client projects. It solved a huge problem for me and I hope it will do the same for you.
Not long ago I wrote an article targeted toward business owners and new bloggers detailing a checklist of what to consider before starting to build a website. That website checklist was sparked by the experiences I often have when performing freelance project work for clients. It was meant to be a reference tool for those [...]
As I wrote in a previous tutorial, adding an Amazon store to your WordPress website is best accomplished (in my opinion) by using Associate-O-Matic. Just to be clear, this is not a plugin. It is a standalone script that you install on your server. However, there is a WordPress plugin that integrates with this script [...]
