Learn PHP

September 19th, 2008

Many websites these days — especially open source websites like WordPress, Moodle, Drupal, phpBB and others — are written in PHP. I think the PHP language is awesome. Personally I prefer PHP over Java or Python.

If you own a website that is written in PHP learning a bit about PHP can help you better implement plugins and modules and will come in very handy in troubleshooting issues when they arise.

Here are some very useful PHP educational and tutorial links:

Blog Profit – Integrate Google Analytics Into Your WordPress Blog

March 30th, 2008

Before you can generate any income from your blog, you have to know who your readers are. In order to get an idea of who your readers are you must track your blog’s hits or web traffic. Google Analytics (http://analytics.google.com) is a free service that will get you website statistics and enable you to drill down and find much more than how many hits your blog received, but also how people are finding your blog, where they are coming from, what keywords they used and even what browser they are using.

This is the fifth article in a series of articles called Blog Profit. Integrating Google Analytics into any website is easy. Usually, I just get the Google Analytics JavaScript code and toss it in the footer template in whatever theme I use. This is very simple to do, but can get annoying if you keep switching themes. If you find yourself changing  your your blog’s theme, having a plug-in that separates the Google Analytics JavaScript code from your theme may save you a few minutes.

I’ve since used a few WordPress Plug-ins to save the Google Analytics code once and for all so I don’t have to re-add it to the footer every time I changed themes.

Some of these Plug-ins promise to add more control over tracking your readers with a simple user interface via the WordPress Admin pages. Knowledge is power, and knowing who your readers are will enable you yo profit from your blog. Below is a list of the most promising Google Analytics Word Press plug-ins:

Learn CSS

December 31st, 2007

If you want to be a serious web designer you really must use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). CSS styles define how to display HTML elements; they are normally stored in Style Sheets externally in CSS files. Gone are the days when using tables and font tags was the norm. It is best to separate design from content as much as possible. The bottom line is, every good web designer or template creator must master their CSS.

Below I included Style Sheet resources that I’ve used for years. You could use these to learn the basics or to create your finest designs:
