Using Short Codes to Easily Format WordPress Page Content
Posted by Aaron Keenan on May, 7th 2010Custom short codes can be extremely useful towards setting up a conveniently manageable WordPress theme design. Since WordPress 2.5, there has been in-built support for creating custom short codes using the add_shortcode() function.
A Basic add_shortcode() Example
In the example below I have used the short code [go] (square brackets are always included as part of a WordPress shortcode) to enter a linked button that could, for example, be used as a link on multiple pages throughout the site.
[realgo]
The advantages in this case are in:
speed
ease-of-use
consistency
You can be assured that the button & link will be consistent whenever the short code is used and the process will be altogether more efficient (provided you remember the short code!).
To set up this short code the following lines were added to functions.php in the theme folder:
function add_go_button() {
return ‘<a href=”http://www.junowebdesign.com/contact”><img src=”http://www.junowebdesign.com/wp-content/themes/juno/images/go-button.png” alt=”go” /></a>’;
}
add_shortcode(‘go’, ‘add_go_button’);Read more
Site redesign for conversion
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on May, 6th 2010We are currently redesigning an alternative magento design theme for Trec Nutrition to test conversion. The site gets a lot of traffic and with minor style changes we can implement a website design that looks completely different. Instead of working on a design whim we will split test which version of the site generates the best sales and retain and evolve further.
Trec Nutrition supply a range of sports supplements weight gainers and general fitness improvement products that can make you honed and toned for the summer season.
Here is the new web design

add_theme_support() – a Function to Change the Future of WordPress Theme Development
Posted by Aaron Keenan on May, 5th 2010One relatively new function that could be making a big difference to the future of WordPress theme development is add_theme_support(). The function was introduced late last year with the release of WordPress 2.9. The major current use for add_theme_support() is for conveniently setting thumbnail images for posts and pages. When WordPress 3.0 is released (scheduled for this month) add_theme_support() is also set to be very useful in managing site navigation menus. The scope of these applications and the generality that is implied by the name of the function suggest that add_theme_support() could become a very prominent part of theme design over the next few releases of WordPress.
Using add_theme_support() to Manage Post & Page Thumbnail Images
Available with WordPress 2.9
To take advantage of this functionality, all that is required is one line in functions.php of your theme folder:
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
Once this line has been added you ... (Read more)
Email Marketing with Double Opt-in Confirmation
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on May, 4th 2010Email marketing can be used effectively to create repeated custom to a website. When you have a customer’s email address you can email them offers time and time again meaning that each email address is a great asset to an online business.
There are steps you must take to capture and use visitors email addresses without getting into trouble and labeling yourself as a “spammer” so below is Juno’s guide to email marketing using the “double opt-in” method:
How ‘double opt-in’ emails work
When a user fills in an email form on a website they instantly receive a confirmation email. These confirmation emails come with a special tracking link in for the user to click on to continue the sign-up process. Once this link is clicked the user has now “doubly opted-in” to receive emails from you as they have done two actions to say that it’s ok to email them.
