26 May 2011With Google’s new Correlate system, companies have a powerful (and, free!) new data-mining tool on their hands. Let us imagine the ways in which we’ll use it.

30 Mar 2011
As we wrote a few months ago, people search site MyLife may have a ton of traffic from searches, but doesn’t really have the social elements that Facebook and LinkedIn offers. Today, the people search site is launching a number of features to help increase engagement on the site.
MyLife is a full-fledged search engine which not only finds people—thanks to aggregated search across social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace—but also helps visitors connect with them all on the same site. MyLife pulls information from public records and also allows users to subscribe to the search site to connect with others, track their searches and more.

Speeding Up Your Website’s Database

23 Mar 2011Website speed has always been a big issue, and it has become even more important since April 2010, when Google decided to use it in search rankings. However, the focus of the discussion is generally on minimizing file sizes, improving server settings and optimizing CSS and Javascript.
The discussion glosses over another important factor: the speed with which your pages are actually put together on your server. Most big modern websites store their information in a database and use a language such as PHP or ASP to extract it, turn it into HTML and send it to the Web browser.
So, even if you get your home page down to 1.5 seconds (Google’s threshold for being considered a “fast” website), you can still frustrate customers if your search page takes too much time to respond, or if the product pages load quickly but the “Customer reviews” delay for several seconds.

When Visual Style Gets In The Way
22 Jan 2011“Voice Memo” for the iPhone is a cool little app that allows people to record short audio clips using the on-device microphone. While the visual elements themselves look quite good, they create a bad user experience.
Confusing visual metaphor
Real world visual metaphors can be useful in helping users understand an interface. Buttons are a perfect example of this. The problem is when designers over use visual metaphors that don’t relate to any functionality. When that happens, the metaphor confuses users.

22 Jan 2011
Creating WordPress themes can be a quite profitable job. Especially if you are good at it and know where to sell them. I recommend that you check out the Theme Forest marketplace as it is one of the top sites to earn money as a WordPress designer. Of course your design of the theme itself and the different options in terms of look and feel, colour themes etc. is what makes customers fall in love with your themes. However making your themes easy to use, customize by adding a high quality Theme Options Page may give you a reputation on sites like Theme Forest for delivering top notch themes. Believe me this part is what makes your themes go viral and your bank account go nutz in the good way. Some people have sold several hundred themes at 20-40 dollars at Theme Forest… There are even themes that have sold as much as 4600 times for $35 each. Consider what this kind of success would do to your situation…
For this article I have been all around the WordPress community to dig out the best Theme Options Page Tutorials for you. This will for sure help you create much better themes and include awesome options pages.
