exceptional sites to your budget
The Drupal Views module is a terrific tool, if somewhat challenging to get to grips with. In this series of posts I’ll be providing instructions with accompanying video footage, showing how to accomplish some useful tasks with this module.
In this first post, I show how to make a block with a list of 5 stories chosen at random.
How to make a random stories block using Views
I’ve recently worked on two projects that both asked for some code that would allow users to attach an intranet file (typically something like a Word document) to a post. There’s a few things that anyone trying to do the same will need to understand.
I recently had occasion to try out setting up Drupal as a Wiki. On the whole, I found it a positive experience with some minor niggles.
How do you create a WordPress site in several different languages? We’ve been working on a new site recently which the client wants to appear in both English and French versions, so I needed to find a suitable plugin or plugins to make this possible.
We’ve updated the Twitter backup service Tweetake.com, created in partnership with Nikki Pilkington, to use Twitter’s safe sign-in protocol. Tweetake users no longer have to enter their usernames and passwords, and as a consequence the service is both easier to use and more secure.
Since we’ve just moved this site from one domain to another, I thought I’d write a quick few words about how we did it.

We’ve changed our name! Likemind has become Figure W. Note the new logo and website URL.
Along with the name change, you may notice some differences in the way we market ourselves, but we’ll still be providing the same high level of service and client satisfaction as in the past.

(It’s fixed now, I’m pleased to say)
Having noticed we weren’t getting many enquiries through our contact form, I did a quick test this morning and to my dismay saw an error message on the CAPTCHA field, even though I’d typed it correctly. What could be going wrong?
What’s the best colour for your headlines? If you make your contact form bigger will more people use it? Should a call to action be left- or right-aligned? If you are trying to make decisions like these about the design of your site, it can be hard to come to definite conclusions. Two designs may look equally attractive, but which will have more impact on visitors?
In this post I discuss a new plugin that will help you to carry out split testing on a self-hosted WordPress site, so you can arrive at such decisions using actual data rather than relying on guesswork.

Facebook allows users to create “Business Accounts”. Having read the applicable terms, why any sane person would want to do this beats me.
