New Plugins…

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

We have just added two new plugins WP-Extreme Video and WP-Flickr Post Bar. WP-Extreme Video will allow you to easily embed Google, Youtube, and other remote videos into your blog. Activate the plugin first. Then to add a google video:
1) Find the line data=”http://video.google.com/….” (it will be in the code twice)
2) Copy the FULL URL start with “http://” and ending at “&playerMode=embeded”

Use the examples below to see how it is added to your post:

[gv data="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http...playerMode=embedded"][/gv]

[gv data="http://www.youtube.com/?v=ez7U5UJDws4"][/gv]

[gv data="http://www.rossgerbasi.com/videos/Priceless.flv"][/gv]

The Flickr Post Bar will allow you to drag and drop your Flickr images into new posts. This works well the the Falbum plugin.

Theme Customization…

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

There are only two templates that are currently available, the default Wordpress template and one called Blogzor. The Blogzor template was created to give you the most control over the look and fee of your blog. To try this template login to you control panel and select “Presentation” and select “Blogzor” as the template. You will then see a new option in the submenus at the top of the screen called “blogzor”. Click this link and you will be able to easily customize the look and feel of your blog. We recommend you also enable the plugin called “Sidebar editor”. This will give you control over your menu. You can select which items should appear on menu and the order of each. Once enabled you will access the settings under the “Presentation” section.

Let us know if you want to customize additional parts of the template and we can add it to the blogzor configuration.

Update: We just added advanced font settings for the heading and subheading text.
