Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

I hope you enjoy this simple computer desktop wallpaper. It is another WordPress related one for those who are fans.

Why do I make these? Because I like WordPress enough as a fan and have met many like myself who share the enthusiasm. When I attend and speak at WordCamps (WordPress conferences), I always see people have WordPress stickers on their laptop. So, I thought maybe a desktop wallpaper would be a nice addition too.

The wallpapers are in 3 different sizes. If a bigger size is needed, leave a comment and I will make it so. I am working on putting a navigation by category for WP Addict so it will be easier to find things as the site grows.

Get your priorities in order before you start a blog. Planning your blog is the best place to start. What do you want to do with your Read More →

I really enjoy using StatPress. Let me re-phrase that – I really enjoyed using StatPress for a time. I would review StatPress Reloaded, but it is only compatible to 2.9.2 and seems to not have any updates since WordPress is on version 3.3 (December 2011.) StatPress is a real-time statistics plugin for users to install on their WordPress blog and be able to check through their administration panel. Stats includes are visitors per day, feeds per day, what browsers people are using when visiting, referring sites, and IPs. The plugin was created by Daniele Lippi.

I have been tagging quite a few commenters for spam and noting at other WordPress related sites, that there have been a lot of people leaving comments for their premium plugins. The message has nothing to do with the original post and in my case, it was on a post of a plugin that had nothing to do with the premium posts. Rather than go about it this way, perhaps the plugin makes should consider releasing the plugin to notable people in the WordPress community to try out and write their feedback. Commenting and leaving a spammy link does nothing Read More →

WordPress 3.3 has been released and it comes with quite a few updates.

A few years ago, Gravatar (globally recognized avatar) was new and shiny, and people were implementing it into their blogs. Gravatar has since become easy to implement and users can simply put in their themes comment.php file: <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?> Where 32 would designate the pixel size of the image that the blog owner wants to allow to be seen on their site. However, what about those wanting to call the Gravatar to the author of a post? That can of course be done. What yoy want to do is retrieve the blog author’s email address Read More →
