Are you currently in the process of designing a website? If you are anything like myself, chances are high that you currently have an installation of almost every browser in existence on your computer. Optimizing websites to display properly across several browsers can be a daunting task, especially if you wish to test compatibility with older generation browsers such as the notorious Internet Explorer 6 (I can’t tell you how much I hate IE6. If you are currently using it, please upgrade). The problem lies with the rendering techniques used by each browser and results in slight variations of the outputted page. Although most recent browsers obey open web standards, Microsoft’s older generation Internet Explorer products have been notorious for creating numerous problems that can only be fixed via a css stylesheet swap. The purpose of this article is to showcase some products I use to make cross-browser testing relatively simple.
Please Note: Development on this plugin is currently on hold due to lack of time. Expect MASSIVE update soon.
I am proud to announce the release of our first plugin, Multiuser ad management for the WordPress platform. The plugin is ideal for blogs with multiple authors and acts as an incentive for making quality posts. When the add-on is enabled, users will have full control over the advertisements displayed on their own posts. Using a space preallocated by the blog administrator, authors will be able to display various forms of advertisements in addition to accepting Paypal donations. This, in turn will also motivate writers to increase the frequency and quality of posts in order to reach a higher popularity and maximize the ability to monetize. Since this is our first attempt at a WordPress plugin, the installation process is still a bit rough. In this post, I will take you through the entire installation and configuration process (it’s rather short) to make implementation as easy as possible. We truly hope you enjoy using the plugin. Depending on the popularity, new features will continuously be added as needed by our users.
