At Nicasio, we’re passionate about technology. So, it’s always a treat when we get to work with someone on a project who is equally as passionate about technology. That was the case with one of our recent WordPress site launches Tech Webinar Maven (TWM).
TWM needed a site that allowed for the management and addition of a large amount of content, a layout that to display that content, a robust ad management system, and basically a site that would do it all. Enter a custom WordPress site.
Through the use of open source plugins, custom plugins, and a custom theme we were able to give TWM all the functionality and aesthetic elements they desired…and then some.

We are proud to announce the launch of one of our latest WordPress design and development projects. Life Design for Lawyers (LDL).
LDL came to us looking for a down to business design and layout that was easy for them to manage on their own. The result – a custom design developed on WordPress.

It’s no secret how we feel about Firefox here at Nicasio – We love it! Firefox is by far the most robust, standards compliant browser out there. If you are still using a browser such as Internet Explorer (especially version 7 or below!) you should give Firefox a try today.
Firefox 3.5 is the fastest, most robust version of Firefox to date. Click here to give it a try today!
This is from a recent client email – and I just want to share the love:
“Just wanted to thank you Nicasio for all your help and tell you how pleased we were with the technical support we recently received from you and your team, on our recent WordPress project… You guys really did take the worry and stress out of getting this done! The project management and technical execution on our WordPress project was flawless!”

WordPress 2.8 has officially been released. Some notable new functionality includes a theme browser, similar to WordPress 2.7’s plugin browser. This makes adding and changing themes a breeze with WordPress 2.8. Other new features include a new method for managing widgets and over 700 bug fixes. Video with all of the new features after the break.
What is older than the TV series 24, the X-Box (the original one), Windows XP, the original iPod, and East Timor (that’s a country, not a tasty dish). Give up? Internet Explorer 6. IE6 is going on 9 years old, and Internet Explorer 8 has been released. IE6 has a myriad of known security and compatiblity bugs. It does not render modern CSS correctly, which means you are not viewing most websites in the full glory they were intended. It has a ton of security issues that were left unhandled by Microsoft. This means if you are using IE6 you are more vulnerable to identity theft, credit card fraud, malware, spyware, viruses, adware and the all too annoying popup window.
Over at http://iedeathmarch.org/ dozens of web designers, developers, technicians, network admins, and other technology personnel have sworn to stop supporting IE6 in March 2009 (already come and gone). This means most of the technology people you rely on to keep the web running have publicly said they have stopped supporting IE6.
What should you do if you are still using IE6? Switch. Immediately. Head over to http://browsehappy.com/ to learn more about the modern web browsers that are out there. Not only will you be helping the Internet and making yourself safer online, you will probably find your online surfing experience considerably more enjoyable with a modern web browser.
It’s no secret that we are WordPress nuts over here at Nicasio. So when a new version is coming down the pipes it obviously peaks out interest. WordPress 2.8 Beta 2 has just been released. While it doesn’t appear to be the groundbreaking level of changes we saw in 2.7 (not yet anyway), it does introduce some new features, bug fixes and continues to improve the WordPress experience. I look forward to the final release of WP 2.8. If you want to check it out, head over to WordPress.Org. Just make sure to note this is still a beta version, so you don’t want to be running it on any live sites, nor doing any new site development with it yet.
Update!
Version 2.8 of Dynamic Headers is now available. Click Here To Download the latest version. This version fixes the default header bug as well as introduces the ability to add links to your header images.
Important Upgrade Note: For the new version of this plugin (2.8), the folder that holds your header files has been moved. You will need to create the directory /wp-content/header-images/ and make it writable for this plugin to work. You will need to backup /wp-content/plugins/dynamic-headers/header-images/ and move your header files to the new directory as the old directory will be overwritten during any automatic upgrade.

Nicasio Design is proud to announce the launch of our first WordPress plugin that is publicly available. Dynamic Headers does just what you think it would based on the name – it allows you to create highly dynamic header space on your WordPress site.
