Episode 6 : Creating custom forms with DotNetNuke

January 31, 2010 · Posted in DotNetNuke · Comment 


In this episode, we are taking a look at the Form Master 2008 module. This module allows for beautifully designed and functional forms for such things as contact forms, application forms, and estimate forms. We “quickly” cover the basics of creating a contact form and share with you the power of this well designed module. In the 10 minutes available, there was no way we could cover everything this module has to offer… but the introduction to how well it works is a clear indication of how functional this module really is.

How To Find The Right Wordpress Theme

January 31, 2010 · Posted in WordPress · Comment 

As someone who has attempted to design and implement your very own blog, you can attest that the process cannot be achieved in a simple manner. All of the problems do not primarily come from the steps of designing the blog site, however, but instead from the selection of a certain artistic pattern that will fulfills your site’s capabilities and also appeals to many online users. selecting a particular pattern and artistic style for your blog takes quite a bit of careful planning and thinking as well as a strategic plan for the future.

Probably the most effective method to use when creating your site is by researching the different kinds of Wordpress themes that exist for you to utilize and produce. Several of them are free and only require a simple download or upload of your blog’s content. Even though many of these Wordpress themes do not require any money, it does become overwhelming to decide which one to use among all of the thousands that are available.

Throughout the difficult procedure of selecting an appropriate Wordpress theme, there exist quite a few methods that you need to think about before completing your choice. There are several questions that you should ask while searching for the right Wordpress theme that will best benefit and correlate with your specific blog site. The following questions will help during your difficult search.

Even before you choose a particular Wordpress theme that would work best for your site, you need to initially think about how much it has been used by other blog sites. You want your blog site to be unique and different from all the other blogs on the Internet so that they will attract more users. If thousands of other blogs have used the same theme to design their pages, then you want to avoid such themes in order to stay special and distinct in comparison with other blog sites.

In some cases in the role of a site creator, you have had a little bit of experience in creating templates that will automatically be published on the web sites. While choosing a theme for your blog, you should look to see if the theme matches the content that you have already designed. One of the biggest examples is a logo that is often designed as the blog’s main viewpoint, which should be carefully matched with the artistic elements of a similar theme.

One of the most crucial things to ask is if the particular template will help your blog to sustain a strong reputation and large growht. The only way that this will happen is if the theme is attractive enough to gain the attention of many people who use the Internet to look for things. As they come across your blog’s theme, they will feel intrigued to visit it and examine all of the content that is published on it.

While thinking about these different aspects throughout the decision process, you will have a greater capability of selecting a successful Wordpress theme that will make your blog successful. Such carefully planning will ultimately bring you and your blog a lot of success.fs

How to set up Wordpress as a Membership, Lead Capture or Product Delivery site.

January 31, 2010 · Posted in WordPress · Comment 

Google + WordPress = Love

It’s no secret that people who are using Wordpress as a blog have been producing
some great results. It was only a short time ago that this was all Wordpress was
used for.

Blog popularity is due in large part to blogs’ simplicity. Hosting companies
have made setting up a personal site easy. Every one on the Internet no mater
what level of technical proficiency is capable of setting up a blog.

Today Wordpress is not just for blogging but can be used as a Content Management
System (CMS) which opens all sorts of new possibilities to businesses and
marketers.

This means that it is more of a web site development program.

Since Wordpress enabled its CMS as a default option you can now create portals,
membership sites, lead capture sites and even deliver product in this simple
system.

The process is basically the same for all the above options.

1. Load your Wordpress Script
2. Customize your site with a theme
3. Add some plugins for greater flexibility
4. Lock down your registration and login scripts
5. Add your content and chose your system

What system you choose will depend on what you want to do.

Membership Program

You can easily run a simple membership program and add content on a regular
basis and charge for it using any of the popular payment processors.

Lead Capture

Basically the same as the members system however you change the sales letter to
drive them to the signup box instead of the payment one.

Product Delivery

Again you use the same system however instead of constantly adding product you
can just use it to deliver your product in the member’s area.

The secret is to change the login and registration files or simply get a plugin.
Once changed you direct the client to the changed registration page so they can
access the locked content.

There are lots of plugins to organize all this for you however I have been using
a simple manual system where the customer pays for a product or service; they
are directed to the new wordpress registration page and enter a username and
email and their password is sent to them.
