In case you did not already know this – WordPress is the Internet’s leading blogging software today. With its user-friendly features, this blog platform is ideal for beginners and novice bloggers. Small business, however, ranging from those who conduct online sales to simple information portals can use this platform for their blogs or websites as well. In fact we insist they use it when they come to us with a new project. Why? Glad you asked. For one it is free and easy-to-use.

We are pleased to announce that Dynamic Headers version 3.4.2 has been released. With this version we have fixed numerous bugs, and optimized the plugin even more. Additionally we have dropped support for WordPress version 2.6 and below as of this update. It is simply becoming too time consuming to try to add new features whil catering to all versions of WordPress. If you are using WordPress 2.6 or lower you will need to upgrade, or continue using an old version of Dynamic Headers.
We love WordPress and Google Analytics here at Nicasio, so this plugin is pretty awesome for us. It’s a plugin that allows you to have a dashboard in WordPress that gives you key WordPress stats, Google Analytics stats, and, if you’re a MailChimp user, MailChimp stats. This plugin is provided by the team over at MailChimp.
Much to our surprise – we have been featured on the Automattic Blog. Nice!
One of our recent project launches has been picked up by the creators of WordPress. How awesome is that? We are excited to have our work featured by them. To read the post click here.
The featured site is ourlifehealth.com – WordPress design and development which pushed the envelope in terms of rapid design and development. We hope to be able to top this with our next site – now in production.
Let us know how we can help make WordPress awesome for you too.
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.
We are proud to announce the launch of the latest version of our WordPress plugin, Dynamic Headers. Version 3.1 fixes a couple of small bugs, but more importantly, makes the plugin compatible with WordPress MU and the upcoming WordPress 2.8.
The previous release made Dynamic Headers compatible with WordPress 2.3+. This means Dynamic Headers should now be compatible with every official release of WordPress on the net from 2.3 on. Enjoy.
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.
Do you ever have a great idea for a blog post when you’re absolutely nowhere near a computer?
Feel the need to write a blog post about that great ribeye you had…while you’re eating it. If these situations describe you and your blog is running WordPress 2.1 or higher you should install the WPhone plugin. This plugin will automatically optimize your WordPress admin area to work on your mobile device. The coolest part is that it detects the abilities of your mobile device and will automatically show the best formatted version. Just download the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository, install it, and then visit your WordPress admin page with your mobile browser.
There are a few plugins here at Nicasio Design that we find ourselves using over and over again on multiple projects, and with everyone from individuals to large corporations wanting to add photo galleries to their sites it seems inevitable that one of these plugins would be NextGEN Gallery.
NextGEN does perfectly what so many other photo gallery plugins try to do but always fall short. It delivers a very robust system for the management, categorization and display of your photos. Whether you have 5 photos from your last family picnic or you need to manage the portfolios of a dozen photographers, NextGEN has you covered.
We always love being able to help a customer meet their goals when it comes to their website. We especially love it when our customers let us know they are happy.
When Home Net Pro contacted us, they were interested in converting their current Blogger blog to a WordPress blog to take advantage of the versatility of the WordPress platform. They also wanted to move their site to a new, more modern hosting company that supported WordPress.
We were able to be help with both issues and the customer couldn’t be happier. This is what was said after all was said and done:
