If you don’t like the default font displayed when you are in the WordPress editor, you can change it.
I was using a YooTheme Warp 6 template and the editor font was difficult to read. I needed a bigger, sans serif font. Furthermore, I wanted to have the text wrap at the width of the content div in my posts so I could get an idea of how the text would look.
On April 29 at 3:42pm MDT, Bluehost ran a script that updated W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache automatically. What’s more, Bluehost did not notify their users of this update.
The result of the update is that some sites will experience a Page Not Found error due to the plugin update.
To fix the problem log into WordPress and check all the settings of WP Super Cache. On three different sites I maintain, all the settings on WP Super Cache were changed and WP Super Cache was turned off.
Note: Bluehost may not be the only host performing this auto update of WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache. Last week the developers of both plugins discovered that there was a major security hole in their plugin and issued an update. If you use either of these plugins, update them immediately.
The following is a list of 10 basic tips to help you improve your website’s searching engine ranking in Google, Yahoo, MSN.

Today, Joomla reported a security update for versions 2.5 and 3. I recommend that you upgrade Joomla, but watch the Joomla forum for a day to see how the upgrade goes for others. As always, make a complete backup of all your website files and database before installing the upgrade.

I have been testing the new Twenty Twelve responsive WordPress theme. It’s very nice but I don’t like the way the responsive menu works. So I figured out how to replace the existing menu with a Select list.
I have a user guide on my website that consists of about 100 posts in various categories. All of the categories are contained in a parent category. Unfortunately, it was difficult for users to find the post they were looking for. As a result, I decided to create a Table of Contents that listed all the sub categories under the User Guide category. In addition, under each category, I wanted to list all post titles, with links, in an unordered list. Here’s how I did it.
For years I’ve heard about RSForm!Pro. Everyone said it was great and easy to use. But I kept using Chronoforms, the free form tool for Joomla. Chronoforms is pretty great, but it is not easy for my clients to use. Also, when you use Chronoforms Wizard to create forms with 50 or 100 fields, it becomes almost impossible to work with.
When a client asked me to build a form with over 60 fields, I decided to buy a copy of RSForm!Pro to build the form. It was very easy it was to build a large form. What’s more, I think it would be pretty easy for my clients to build complex forms too.
If you are building forms on Joomla, I highly recommend RSForm!Pro. At $25, it’s a good deal. Available for Joomla 1.5, 2.5, and 3.0.
