March 4th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Blogging, Tech, Webdesign

Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance.

There are many freak-out moments in WordPress design and maintenance, and “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance.” is one of them.  Never run across this?  Good!  It just happened to me, for the first time in 4 years of heavy WP usage.

Whew.  I was freaked out.

It’s easily fixed, though!  Just More »

ThemeDreamer WordPress Extension for Dreamweaver

October 21st, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Blogging, Tech, Webdesign

ThemeDreamer is something you can add to Adobe’s Dreamweaver to help in the creation of WordPress themes.  With ThemeDreamer, you can design off-line and without a local server, etc. etc. etc.  Sounds like it takes a lot of the hassle out of the design and build process.  ThemeDreamer is mentioned and recommended multiple times in Adobe’s tutorials, so we’re assuming it works great.

Have you used it?  Let us know what you think!

Here’s a paid alternative to WordPress eCommerce.  Sounds like

some of the speed bumps people hit with WPeC are addressed, including good support.  We have not checked it ourselves. Looks

like more of an out-of-the-box ecommerce solution.  Themes (the look and feel of a WordPress blog site) are included/built in, in addition to the shopping cart system.

Any Market Theme users out there?  What do you think of it?

WordPress › Subscribe2 « WordPress Plugins

We like the sound of this plugin.  It’s a basic, limited version of Constant Contact or Aweber, sending plain text or html (pretty) emails to subscribers by means of posting on one’s WordPress blog.

Does not have the analytics that Constant Contact, Aweber, or the other many bulk email systems have.

Is a limited substitute for FeedBurner’s email delivery.

  • Testimonials

    “Heather Cate is a joy to work with. Her clear, patient explanations of the workings of my website made it possible for even a non-technical person like me to understand. We discovered that vital aspects of my website needed attention. These were things I would not have known about if Heather hadn't noticed them, but they will make a big difference to the success of my site. If you would rather spend your time doing your work than working on your website, I highly recommend that you contact Heather right now!”
