I can provide whatever video tutorials people are interested in, whether it be web design or Photoshop. I can even cover CSS tutorials, covering basic and advanced techniques.

If you would like to see more basic and advanced tutorials, then leave your comments here. I will leave the comments open for a month, and decide after that, whether it is worth the effort or not.

If you are in the market for and application that is a plugin for WordPress (and Semiologic) that will send encrypted download links that can be time limited (you set the hours before it expires) and shows no address in the browser, then WP eStore is just the right thing. Plus, you can use it for as many websites as you wish!

WP eStore is designed as a shopping cart that gives you the ability to encrypt and time limit download links that you send to your customers. But you do not need to use the cart, you can just use the encrypting and time limiting functions to do the job. Customer support is excellent and the price you are not going to believe. For only $20, you can have the ability to encrypt and time limit your downloads! Yes, only $20! The good thing about this software is that it is a plugin, has great customer support and simply does what it needs to do, no bells and whistles.

I use this plugin on www.semiologicreloadedskins.com and can give it my highest recommendation. For $20 compared to over $100 for other products, it is not that difficult to realize which is the better option. Check it out for yourself. WP eStore is here.

Getting your Semiologic site to show in a mobile is a fairly simple process, and can be completed within 5 minutes. To do this, you need to follow these simple steps:

1. Create two blank CSS files. Open Notepad or similar, File>Save As, mobile.css (and screen.css) and save as type>All Files.
2. Upload the blank mobile.css and screen.css to your root directory.
3. Add the following two lines of code to your header (change the "domain.tld" to your sites domain name) – In your admin panel go to Settings>Scripts & Meta and add the two lines of code there .

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://domain.tld/screen.css" type="text/css" media="Screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://domain.tld/mobile.css" type="text/css" media="handheld" />

That is all there is to making your Semiologic website (or any WordPress site) render into a mobile device, that is readable. Enjoy!

WP Affiliate Platform plugin is yet another simply and effective way to create an affiliate program for your site that looks very professional and is the only affiliate plugin for WordPress to my knowledge. Again, this plugin works well with Semiologic Pro or Semiologic Reloaded and just gets the job done, without all the fluff. Again, I am not going to spoil it by revealing the price, only to say it is VERY cheap!! Check it out WP Affiliate Platform.

When you view the page, on the control bar there is a full page button, click on that to get the full benefit of this great video player.

This is the end result, which looks really neat.

The only problem I see is that there is no way to keep the video at the production size, as it makes it bigger in the thickbox and therefore puts the video out of focus, there is no overlay on the image for a play button (when the thickbox option is chosen, the one above was included by myself) and by default, there is no alt tag placed for the image. 4 stars out of 5, but would have received 5 out of 5 stars, if there was a way to control the video size in the thickbox, included a play button overlay (when the thickbox option is checked) on the image and provided an alt tag.

It is a fairly simple process, that can be accomplished in 5 minutes or so.

Bookmark Me Plugin:

Open the Bookmark Me plugin, under wp-content/plugins/sem-bookmark-me/sem-bookmark-me.php in a good editor and go to line 405. Delete line 405 through to and including line 408. That's it! Close and save.

Subscribe Me:

To remove the "what's this" link in the RSS subscription plugin, go wp-content/plugins/sem-subscribe-me/sem-subscribe-me.php. Delete from and including line 302 to 305.

I hope that helps those who have asked how to get rid of that link.

I will be splitting the videos into two, whereas there will be a newbies and advanced section. I will also be including a lot of SEO videos to help people understand how to get good SEO benefits from Semiologic and their website.

This upgrade will take about a week to 10 days to complete, so please be patient. If you have any suggestions for videos that you would like to see, please let us know.

To stop your images going behind a video or flash component you need to add this extra code

<wmode="transparent">

By simply adding this to your code, it will stop images going behind your videos or flash. If you hover over the Articles link in the menu bar, below the header, you will see that the dropdown menu does not go behind the video in the sidebar.
