New Plugin Release, Easy iFrame Loader

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

We were finding that many of our clients wanted to be able to add iFrames to wordpress pages, but were finding that it would only stay there if HTML mode was the only one used. If they entered visual mode on the editor then it would automatically delete the iframe.

So we have created an iFrame loader so that it will stay. Not only that we have created it so that it loads the iFrame using Javascript using the window.onload function. This means that the iFrame will not load at all until the complete page has downloaded. This is better because often an external iFrame will be the cause of a page failing to load quickly.

After tesing on Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE, Flock and Opera, we released the plugin via wordpress. See the easy iframe loader plugin page for more information

Share and Follow is the #1 social networking plugin for WordPress.

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Well it’s been a busy time since April and the release of Share and Follow, a very busy time indeed. And in that time since April 2010 we’ve moved from ZERO downloads to over 150,000 and become the most popular wordpress plugin for social networking. cool!

People love how easy it is to setup and use, along with how it helps them to get what they want done. Along with the fact that I am willing to support people in their plight to get it all working even on the strangest of configured sites.

Back at the beginning of  November we released the CDN version with now 26 different icon sets to choose from.

This has proved to be very popular and selling many copies every day.  It’s such a pleasure to come to work in the morning and find out that we  have made money over night :)

However it is onwards and upwards for the plugin by being ported to Drupal and Joomla!.

Want to be able to play video content on your PS3 without getting DLNA errors?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Being the techie fool that I am, it was a breeze for me to setup my latop with a massive external hard disk that manages all of my video content.  The only problem I found almost instantly was that playstation3 uses DLNA to talk between the media server and the it.  DLNA is crappy at the best of times and when used on my playstation in tune with TVersity I found it was all kinds of  wrong, loosing audio and video all over the place and often crashing.

Check out the full instructions I made with you tube videos on how to do it.  It even covers converting from most formats into a playstation playable one.

Here’s a quick process overview

  1. Install IIS7 on the computer
  2. Configure a movies virtual directory
  3. Setup mp4, m2ts and mts mime type
  4. Convert mkv (HD content) files to m2ts with tsMuxeR for playstation 3
  5. Convert MOV (quicktime) files to mp4 h.264 with Yamb for playstation 3
  6. Playing content with PS3 internet browser
  7. Recomendations, tips and tricks
  8. The downsides to the solution
  9. Other benefits
