Pretty Link Pro – Tweet Post After Publishing

InsightsLeave a comment

We use the Pretty Link Pro WordPress plugin, which is a bargain and can be purchased by clicking here, to tweet articles under the @questiondefense Twitter account. This not only is easy to do with Pretty Link Pro but it provides a great method of driving traffic to our articles here on Question-Defense.com. There have been numerous times when one of us forgets to check the tweet article checkbox in the Pretty Link Pro bucket from the Add New Post page when writing articles. The issue with that is the fact that once an article is published there is no tweet article button from the Edit Post page within WordPress. Below we describe the process of tweeting a post after it has been published in WordPress.

Simpleviewer Pro: Move Arrows To Each Sides of Thumbnail Rows

InsightsLeave a comment

SimpleViewer offers a great way to display your photo albums on WordPress combined with NextGen Gallery in an easy to browse format. The arrows display out to the sides of the thumbnails when you only have one row configured however you must have the source code that comes with purchasing the product to modify the source and move the arrows to the sides if you have multiple rows of thumbnails configured. I figure it is worth the money if this is a gallery you are using as it would cost much more in time to develop the gallery yourself.

The default location of the arrows is shown below in the image.

Insights20 Comments

Opening Microsoft Office OneNote files without OneNote being installed can be a bit of a pain but it is possible and therer are numerous options to do so. Below I will provide a couple different ways to go about reading the OneNote notebook or file. The first of which is if someone has sent you a .one (OneNote) file and you want to open it without having to ask them to provide a different format. The second method will be providing them numerous different formats that they could provide you the OneNote file in including Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx) and HTML.

The first method I will explain is opening the file without having to ask the person who sent you the file to do anything. Regardless of what method you want to use to view the files you will be required to download and install the trial of Microsoft Office OneNote that lasts for 60 days. After 60 days you should still be able to view files but you will not be able to edit them.

WordPress NextGen Gallery Simpleviewer: viewer.sfw: Modify Caption Location

Insights15 Comments

I use SimpleViewer to display some of the image galleries on my personal WordPress blog and decided I wanted to change the caption location. Moving the caption to below the image itself instead of below the thumbnails is easy however you must have the source code that comes with purchasing the product. I figure it is worth the money if this is a gallery you are using as it would cost much more in time to develop the gallery yourself.

The default location of the caption is shown below in the image.
