GNC #694 No Constraints

geeknews — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 08:23:11 +0000

I talk about constraints tonight, you will notice show is 1:23:00 I have realized I have been feeling constrained and rushed with the 1:10:00 limit I imposed on myself. Unless I get a barrage of email begging me to go back the show is going back to a semi un-constrained time limit.

WordPress Launches First Visual Editor App for WebOS

Alan Buckingham — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:43:50 +0000

WebOS is the most underrated mobile operating system on the market. It has everything but a large user-base. So, it seems a bit strange that WordPress has chosen it to be the first recipient of their new visual editor app. Android, with the largest market share, would have been a no-brainer, iOS would have seemed logical, and Windows Phone would not have been a major surprise (Microsoft has been know to throw some money the way of developers for things like this), but it landed on WebOS.

WordPress already has rudimentary apps available for Android and iOS, but they lack the power and functionality of the WebOS release.

The WebOS WordPress app uses sliding panes to navigate between various sections and editors. You can easily edit text, add media, and get a preview of what your post will look like before publishing it to a website. You can not only moderate comments on your posts, but also get notifications when new comments arrive through the WebOS’s native notification system.

The app supports both WordPress.com hosted sites and self-hosted sites also. WordPress for webOS is a free app and is available for the HP TouchPad through HP’s App Catalog. You can watch a walk-through video below.

WordPress In Your Pocket

tomwiles — Sun, 15 May 2011 00:56:30 +0000

WordPress has been around a long time and is quite a powerful web publishing platform available to virtually everyone at no cost.

I finally got around to installing the official WordPress app onto my iPod Touch and I have to say I’m impressed with the app. It quickly accepted the credentials to my own WordPress blog, and I found I could update my site directly from my iPod. More impressive to me was when I discovered the ease with which I was able to take photos (or videos) with the iPod’s camera and instantly embed them into blog posts.

Nothing is more powerful than to be able to quickly update one’s own site with not only words but images as well. The official WordPress for iOS is a free download on the iPod/iPad/iPhone/iOS App Store. If you have a WordPress blog and an iOS device, this free app is worth installing.

A New Source For Finding Premium WordPress Themes

Alan Buckingham — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:57:39 +0000

If you use WordPress to run your website or blog then you are probably always on the lookout for a new theme. If you are serious about your site then you are willing to pay for a good theme. The biggest problem isn’t the lack of WP themes out there, it’s how to find and compare them. There’s a new resource online that is attempting to solve this issue. It’s called ThemeSorter.

Although it just recently launched it already has an impressive catalog of themes (500+ as of this writing). The layout is basic, making it easy to browse available themes in any of several different category types – formats, niches, colors, and styles to name a few.

If you look carefully you will even find an occasional freebie thrown in. You can also find discount deals on a lot of the themes being offered. It’s a great one-stop-shop for anyone looking to launch a new site or upgrade a growing one.

PowerPress Podcasting Plugin Updated

geeknews — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:38:35 +0000

My team at RawVoice this morning released version 2.0 of the PowerPress Podcast plugin for WordPress. The work committed to this update was well over 1 month of coding. I have been running the beta here at Geek News Central for several weeks, and many of you have already commented on the new video player experience as being superior to what you have seen on other podcasters websites. Now that the update has been made available to the 80,000 podcaster worldwide we are excited to watch the implementation across the web.

Folks making video will want to check out the new HTML5 video player, WebM support and Embeds feature! PowerPress 2.0 provides an optimized viewing experience for the widest spectrum of hardware/software including web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari), mobile devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad, Android), and TV’s (e.g. Google TV, Roku, Boxee).

Some of the new features and enhancements include:

HTML5 video player
HTML5 audio player
Embeds your audience can take with them just like YouTube.
WebM video support
Ogg audio/video support improvements
MP4+WebM (for mp4/m4v video, a new alternative WebM URL field is available. This is ideal for supporting all browser based HTML5 video players)
Flow Player Classic can now play m4a audio and mp4/m4v video
New Video Player settings page added
Settings pages enhanced with new options such as location, frequency and T.V. options
Episode Entry box enhanced with new ‘isHD’ option when video entered into Media URL box
Episode Entry box now includes option to configure video player width/height on a per-episode basis
Upload image option added to supplement the video poster image field. Images are uploaded to the built-in image gallery in WordPress.
Plus a number of improvements

I have created a short video on some of the coolest features and hope you will take a few minutes to overview the update. Please note that the video embed below is from the actual posting on our official PowerPress site. No longer do we need Blip or YouTube we can share our content from our sites with the embed feature.

Make sure you Upgrade today!

3 WordPress Plugins You Should Have

Alan Buckingham — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:31:26 +0000

There are many good WordPress plugins available out there. Some allow you to track your site’s stats – like Google Analytics and Quantcast Quantifier. Some may help generate traffic – like All In One SEO. Some even help generate revenue like Quick Adsense and Amazon Best Selling Electronics. Today I thought I would showcase three that get less attention, but also can do a great job for your site.

AddToAny: Share/Bookmark/Email Button

You may have seen the AddToAny plugin in action on many web sites. It usually appears at the bottom of a post and looks similar to this:

It’s highly configurable as it allows you to choose from over 100 sites that you can have appear in the bar, choose from several options for the Share/Save button, where you want it to appear, menu style and options, etc. It’s a great way to allow your readers to easily share your articles.

Yet Another Realated Posts Plugin

The Yet Another Realated Posts Plugin is a way of letting your readers find similar stories on your site that they may also be interested in. Here it is in use on the MakeUseOf website’s RSS feed:

You can have this appear at the end of your articles on your site or in your RSS feed or both. It scans your site in several ways – categories, keywords, and tags – and finds articles related to the one your are posting and puts links at the bottom of the article that can point readers to other posts they may be interested in. It’s a great way to retain eyeballs.

Google XML Sitemaps

The Google XML Sitemaps plugin has a slightly misleading title. I say that because XML sitemaps don’t just help Google, but also most other major search engines like Bing, Ask.com, etc. It’s a little hard to explain so I’ll borrow from the WordPress description.

This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog. With such a sitemap, it’s much easier for the crawlers to see the complete structure of your site and retrieve it more efficiently. The plugin supports all kinds of WordPress generated pages as well as custom URLs. Additionally it notifies all major search engines every time you create a post about the new content.

As you can see from the description it makes your site more easily indexed, which is always a good thing. It updates pretty regularly, but if you add a new post and are particularly anxious to get the word out then you can do a manual update. The settings section will give you lots of data and options.

So, there are three of the many WordPress plugins that are out there. These three focus on getting your site noticed and keeping people on it once they are there. If you have a good one then please let us know in the comments section below.

GNC-2010-10-26 #621 No New Tricaster Yet!

geeknews — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 07:32:04 +0000

Hey folks back in Hawaii for two shows only, then I will be in Albuquerque for 3 weeks on a consulting gig. Really weird doing the show without the tricaster, one thing for sure I have a whole lot less to do in the show which was kinda nice for a change. Had my outpatient work done on my arm today where the took some skin samples to from some suspect spots so should know at the end of the week whether I will need some more intensive treatment or not, fingers are crossed.

Where Do You Find WordPress Themes?

Alan Buckingham — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:25:15 +0000

For the past few days I have been scanning the net looking for a new WordPress theme for my own site. There are a lot out there. Just do a Google search if you don’t believe me. Some are for purchase, but a lot are free. Many of the sites are legit, but some are sketchy.

So the question is, how do you find legitimate content when it comes to something as generic as a WordPress theme? If your computer-literate then you probably have a bit a intuition about sites you visit. You may also have some help from services such as the Firefox add-ons – NoScript and Web of Trust. But those are really just a belt to use with your suspenders.

Is there a way to really sort out the good content? Back to my WordPress example, I have waded through pages of Google results, but found only a smattering of decent ones. Some sites that show up high in the rankings don’t even pass the Web of Trust tests. If it’s tough for a geek to figure out then that explains the amount of people who find their PC’s infected – or worse, don’t know their computers are infected.

That’s the discussion I’d like to have with all of the readers of this site. I am not just looking for WordPress theme sites. I am really looking for how all of you sort through results in a generic search and find the good stuff. With Google returning thousands (or more) of hits and some of the less-than-savory sites rising up the rankings, how does anyone figure out where to go today?

Had a live viewer ask why I do not watch the chat room during the show their really is two words, “Task Saturation” as much as I would love to hang and chat it is real hard to cover all of the content, and monitor the chat at the same time. Key is if you have comments on the content, email and the hotline are the best feedback mechanisms. Let your voice be heard. Wow this show had one zinger after the other and Bryan entertains us at the end of the show.

See You at Blogworld and New Media Expo!

geeknews — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 07:25:56 +0000

This will be the 5th year my team from RawVoice has exhibited at BlogWorld and New Media Expo. It is where we go put names and talent to faces, and is where we have a chance for us to give back and share our wisdom on where New Media is headed. For those that attend it is 3 days of information packed sessions, networking and in many cases a reunion with folks you only get to see once or twice a year.

In Booth 516 we will be sharing not only what we do but also about the new media distribution platforms. The media space is changing at a rapid pace, and we will get you dialed in on where it is headed and how to stay on the right track.

On Saturday, I will be presenting at a track that is entitled “The Triple Play Streaming, Podcasting and Blogging as a way to accelerate your Shows Growth and Distribution” please add my session to you list of session to attend. The title of the session is a mouthful for sure, but let me share with you a little of what I will discuss and why you should attend.

The past 12 months have seen an evolution in the blogging, podcasting and streaming media space, I will lay out a formula, to growing your audience and talk about the new distribution platforms. I will share trade secrets and strategies of podcasting that only my 6 years of experience behind the mic can impair. I will tie this all together and you will walk away understanding the importance of streaming your shows and how it is the gateway to Over the Top TV. I will show you how I grew an already large audience by 150% in 9 months with the Triple Play. I will show you how content distribution channels like the Roku, Boxee and coming Google TV is changing New Media and what to expect over the next 5 years.

This will be the most important session you will want to attend at the show, I don’t say this lightly because some of the things I will reveal are going to make you re-think your media strategy for the next 36 months.

In another session, My partners Angelo Mandato and Brian Yuhnke are going to get down to basics with you in a fun session entitled “Blogging and Podcasting Sitting in a Tree… Optimizing a WordPress site for your Podcast” this will get into the nitty-gritty of what many content creators ignore. Find out what causes the cream to rise to the top, you may be surprised at how easy it really is through tweaks, tips and tricks of getting your site dialed in to make sure your listeners and viewers can tune in.

If you have not purchased your plane tickets or pass to BlogWorld and New Media Expo you need to get off you butt and do so now! This is “the event” to be at, if you are podcaster, blogger and fall into any category of user-generated content. Unlike the disarray and forking happening at Podcamps across the country if you want to focus on New Media this is the show you need to be at. See you in Vegas!

Easy Web Templates Builder

Alan Buckingham — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 01:15:52 +0000

Most of us, at some point, want to create a web page. Almost everyone online wants to have some sort of presence. For many it’s simply Facebook, but for some it’s an actual web site and a few of those are for a business. And let’s face it – if a business doesn’t have a web site today then it may as well not exist. I also believe that an individual who only has a Facebook account is not much better off than the business without a web site. You don’t really want them controlling your online existence, especially given their shaky history. But for many, setting up a web site sounds too hard. Of course there are dead simple tools available for anyone who wants a very basic blog-type site. Then there are those of us who want to get our hands dirty and really create something unique. But, even then, we tend to simplify some aspects, such as choosing a free WordPress template, or maybe even buying a slightly nicer one. But the majority of us would be lost if we tried to create our own WordPress template, and forget the other, even more obscure content management services that can run today’s web sites.

Enter CoolTemplate. A fast, easy way to design your own web templates right on line. They cover not only WordPress, but HTML, Joomla, and ASP.net.

Since my own site runs on WordPress, that was where I decided to take a look and do some testing. It’s pretty simple as a matter of fact. There are options for Design, Layout, Colors, Background, Border, Header, Menu, Buttons and Footer. It’s a very easy, straight-forward interface to design a theme.

Of course, you need a little design skill to make a good template, but anyone can get started here and learn how web templates work. The site’s web app works perfectly. And, beyond WordPress, it does much more complicated web design, Joomla and ASP.net are not easy to learn – I know I have played with both. But it does a good job designing both, and an especially good job with WordPress. So if you are, even remotely, interested in designing your own site then this is a great place to start.

GNC-2009-11-03 #524 Where we are going from here!

geeknews — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:39:21 +0000

I talk about the plan I am laying out for the show, while the Audio format will not change I am moving aggressively to improve the video quality in an effort to be in a position for what I feel is forthcoming in the new media space. The exercise while expensive is one that I think is one that I need to take to see if the content will bridge over time into as big a hit with video hit as the audio format is.

WordPress only Pinging Hourly?

geeknews — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:14:05 +0000

Under the category of what was someone thinking!

When I read this morning that since the introduction of WordPress version 2.8 that WordPress only Pings sites once and hour I just could not believe. Can you imagine having the hottest news story of the year and when you publish your post that WordPress can wait as much as an hour before it pings the variety of sites telling them you have new content to be indexed.

This change was introduced obviously by someone that does not have a clue on how the real world web works these days. So a word of warning if you have published a couple of articles in a row and have a big scoop to publish you better post the scoop first so that it pings the quickest or hope someone comes out with a simple patch.

Note: PowerPress users do not need to worry we ping iTunes separately so this bug does not affect the updating of your show on iTunes.

Major PowerPress Podcast Plugin Update!

geeknews — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:52:17 +0000

We punched out the PowerPress update this evening, and as I promised last night I told you we would have some video for you to watch. I am going to send you over to a page that has two videos linked that will get you up to speed with what we released.

Before I send you over there let me run you through the update.

We added a podcast statistics summary to the WordPress dashboard.
Blubrry Podcast hosting customers can have their ID3 Tags written automatically.
We added Category Cast, podcasters can now setup categories as independent podcast feeds.
The final update which is the most important is our new 3 Step Podcast Publishing Process

Check out the New Feature in Action and watch the Video as a picture is worth a 1000 words!

Come back after the jump and let me know what you think!

The PowerPress Podcast Plugin is free and available at www.blubrry.com/powerpress.

The Transition to WordPress Update

geeknews — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:02:53 +0000

I wanted to update everyone just a few days into the transition from Movable Type to WordPress.

The web based editor has been the hardest to get used to. I like some of the things it does but I absolutley hate that it will not single line space in visual mode. I have to switch it to HTML mode to get the editor to behave correctly.
Commenting is way up. The piece of crap commenting authentication system MovableType has is simply horrible.
Website traffic is noticeably up. Based on what we are seeing from Google the page updates have taken and this has resulted in better indexing thus traffic is up 25%
I am still having challenges in external editors getting the tags to work correctly when posting externally. If someone has the secret sauce setting to Blogjet let me know.

So I guess you can say thus far I am a happy camper. I am watching to see if we get a bounce in pagerank for cleaning up the duplicate content that was on the old site, only time will tell there but if we get a bounce then I will be pretty pumped.
