How will ads display?

Any ads displayed on this site are demos only.

The codes are transferred to the sites chosen by clients once their ads display and “behave” the way they plan their ads.

if your ads do not display on this site properly or that they are correctly re-directing, chances are they will not properly and correctly display when they go “live”.

Hosting a web page for a client

When we host a web page for a client, only information relating to the client’s products or services are displayed.

The design and content of ShowCasepage.net are not displayed at all.

The client’s page will be the “landing page” when a user clicks on a client’s ad who does not have an operational website yet.

Ad serving using from outside sources

The above 728×90 banner ad is being served from our ad server linked to an external-party script.

Snazzy Archives plugin revisited

For those who are using Snazzy Archives plugin by Vladimir Prelovac, you might be interested to know that that there is hardly any difference between version 1.5.2 (latest version) and version 1.4.1 which we replaced.

Here is a screenshot of the resulting page of this site using Snazzy Archives version 1.4.1.

The “snazzy” archives of this site using version 1.5.2 (which is updated progressively) is on this page.

A theme for a photography site

Here are the screenshots after temporarily installing the “birdsite” theme with photos on the three most recent photos. The thumbnails are automatically displayed on the index top page by pointing to an uploaded image as a featured image.

Conclusion: We quite like the theme for its simplicity. The theme can be used as a base for further customization.

Classified Ads Plugins

Two of the WordPress plugins available at WordPress.org which we have tested so far are wp-classified by Mohammad Forgani and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWCP) by A Lewis and D Rodenbaugh.

We must give credit to the developers for their work. wp-classified allows you to add a simple classified page in your WP blog. AWCP on the other hand can provide your blog a full-blown classified ads section with search capabilities, admin control over HTML use in ads, option between paid or free ads, and other features.

You can see AWCP in action at one of our clients’ sites The Filipino Australian Ads which was opened recently.

You can download the plugins straight from your Plugins admin panel or at the WordPress.org Extend site:

Picking up PicApp where we left off

Fire destroys office of Moscow food wholesaler

How easy is it now to embed a picapp image in your WordPress post?

We would say, much easier than when we were testing it some months ago. If you have the picapp plugin in your WordPress install, the piccapp search/select window is right in your Add / Edit post window.

The above is an example of a photo grabbed from one of the photos displayed by picapp. Photo caption by picapp:
