Building Apps for mobile devices becomes crucial for online success as an increasing number of web users shift to mobile devices and as the usage stats of mobile users has already passed web usage by desktop and lap-top users in many countries. Learn how to Build a Mobile App for iOS, Android and Windows The Ycademy May Seminar will focus on App Building namely on: Types of Apps App Building Standards App Building Publishing Requirements App Building Workshops Two days are a short time to become familiar with programming language and developer kits. For this reason we will be using what we believe are the two most powerful App building software packs available for Windows to build and test our Apps. Participants can test also some of the apps directly on their mobile device. The seminar will take place on May 26 –27, 2012 from 1 p.m. till 9 p.m. London Time on each day. Seminar tickets are available with the usual discounts; get your discount code from bianca(at)ycademy.com.

How to Preview your Mobile WordPress for iPhone and iPad

May 3, 2012

iPhone Simulator or Emulator for WordPress? Subsequent to last week’s Ycademy Seminar, I read on Bianca Gubalke’s blog a post about the difficulty to create a WordPress Mobile version without having recourse to a preview tool. As I agree with this statement, I will show you here below a simple method to preview your WordPress Mobile version for iPhone, iPod and iPad. iPhone Simulator The first question is: Do we need an iPhone Simulator at all? I have not seen a single free online iPhone Simulator which would render the mobile version of our WordPress sites. Online Simulators are therefore useless for our purpose. iPhone Emulator Free online Emulators I have come across do not generate a preview of the mobile WordPress version. There are some paid solutions which are however pretty cool and accurate, namely the MobiOne emulator included in the Studio version. There is a 14 day free trial, thereafter a $99 fee. Surprisingly the emulator included with TheAppBuilder does not render the mobile version — this would be a real plus since it’s a free tool until you want to publish your app to a store. There is a much easier to use solution out there which [...] Related posts: Semiomantics Mobile Developments Mobile WordPress and Shop Semiomantics XO on iPad iPhone 4S in stead of iPhone 5 WordPress on Facebook

Mobile Developments for Small and Home Business

Mobile Developments for Small and Home Business The rapid expansion of the Mobile Web and the success of smartphones and tablets open new opportunities and imperatives for Website Developments. In as much as Semiomantics is concerned, the focus is set on two main issues: Conversion and integration of web content into an App Publishing on Multiple Platforms Optimization Conversion and integration of web content into an App Whether it is a simple blog or a shop, a photo site or a video library, a directory or any other content, your website can be converted and integrated into a mobile App. Production cost will vary in function of the complexity of the development. I mention cost at this point because for the time being, App developments are still relatively expensive, but that’s the price to pay for a seat in the front row. The mobile web and mobile devices and platforms offer today many features designed to enhance conversation, feedback and interaction which are much more dynamic, flexible and user-friendly than those offered on traditional websites. Also, an App is much easier to use on a smartphone than surfing a website. Bookmarking a website and then accessing (loading) it at a [...] Related posts: Semiomantics Mobile Developments XO Mobile Theme with WPTouch Pro WP Best Business Theme Home Page Home Business Tax Benefits Facebook and Home Business

Mobile WordPress and Social Media The fast evolution of the mobile web has created new needs for publishers, whereas the objective remains to integrate mobile web targets into an existing workflow and to optimize productivity with the help of automated conversion scripts and tools. What’s New on Mobile WordPress and Social Media At Semiomantics the starting point for our development is the most comprehensive conversion plugin, called WPTouch Pro. WPTouch has released its latest version end of March 2012 with some adjustments for iOS 5.1 and many other fixes and developments: * Added: Custom advertising options for iPad * Added: Simple caching of desktop functions.php * Added: Russian language file * Added: Automatic archiving of previous settings in wptouch-data directory * Added: Compatibility setting for BuddyPress Mobile AJAX support * Fixed: Changing user-agent matching that may have interfered with advertising in certain scenarios * Changed: Replaced include with locate_template in theme files, should allow child overrides of custom WPtouch Pro template files * Changed: Algorithm to reload settings; may have caused settings to be lost in a certain scenario * Updated: All translations based on 2.6 strings * Fixed: An issue with Register and Lost password links in Classic * [...] Related posts: Facebook and Mobile Web Seminar by Ycademy Ycademy Online Seminar January 2012 Ycademy Online Seminar May 2011 Facebook Online Seminar by Ycademy Facebook Strategy with WordPress

Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition Eugenides Foundation Physics Experiment Collections and Technical Exhibits The Eugenides Foundation’s Physics Experiment Collections and the Technical Exhibit Halls were created in 1966 and operated at the Foundation facilities on Syngrou Avenue until the mid-1990s. Their goal was to fill the gaps in experimental equipment at the institutions of technical education in post-war Greece and to more adequately carry out the essential educational function in the technical and scientific fields. Two new wings were added to the Foundation in September 2003; one of them houses the New Digital Planetarium and the other, in a section of the building symmetrical to the Planetarium, houses a unique exhibition hall, the “Marianthi Simou” Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition Hall. The first periodic exhibition, titled Science of Sports, was held there in November 2003, staged by the General Secretariat for the Olympic Games in cooperation with the Eugenides Foundation in light of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Permanent Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition A permanent Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition has been on display in this new exhibition wing since December 2006.

Search Engine Marketing and Social Network Marketing Search Engine Marketing and Social Network Marketing go hand in hand in a modern Online Marketing Strategy and yet, they require two completely different approaches. The Ycademy October Seminar will highlight these differences and help participants to structure their content flow in function of the requirements of both models. We will elaborate with each Participant a strategy to build a profitable profile. SEM and The new world order Search Engine Marketing is about the convergence of information and connectivity, it’s about “findability”. Successful SEM takes into account the Information Literacy, Information Architecture and Usability. These are critical components of the new world order. SNM and the fear of getting lost It seems to be a human pattern to connect to each other by fear of getting lost; today the quality of social networks shape and dictate the way our society evolves. Social networks offer free tools to connect and keep in touch with people and we are happy about that “free” service. In fact Social Networks do a lot more: they create profiles for each participant, trace and map our online footprint and judge our responsiveness to topics of interest, kind of other [...] Related posts: Social Network Publishing and Marketing Seminar Social Network Marketing with YORGOO Social Network Publishing Model Social Media Marketing by Ycademy Social Network Publishing 2

Original Article at Website Design.Your Look and Feel make the Difference The look of your website is the first impression visitors get about you, your business, your attitude and your professionalism. Surfing the web we notice that hype sites have a different look than professional well founded content sites. Online Casinos look differently than wellness sites and Government sites look different from personal blogs. The presentation is a question of your personal preferences or also of your professional choice. Ego Centered Websites Ego centered web sites are designed based on personal preferences, such as a personal blog. Ego centered blogs are in first line here to please the creator. The approach can be without compromise and highlight mainly content of personal interest. Visitor Centered Websites Customer or Visitor Centered web sites are built with a purpose to communicate with a targeted audience. The look is an important element of communication, namely when it comes to the first impression and the immediate empathy that can be built or blocked. First things first: first comes the over all look and impression, then the content. The content can be split into the sites substantial content and as the case may be the commercial content (ads).

Firefox Crashes on WordPress

Visit the original article at http://yorgonestoridis.com/yorgo-nestoridis/firefox-crashes-on-wordpress/.Or how the Big Brothers mess with our Life Have you noticed the increasing number of Firefox Crashes recently? It happens for sure when you try to load media to your WordPress Blog Post or bage, or, rather when you try to access the media up-loader from the WordPress editor. The reasons could be inherent to WordPress, since WordPress 2.6 added support for Gears, to speed up the administrative interface and reduce server hits (wikipedia). It could be inherent to the recent Firefox update or to the Windows Vista Service Pack 2, or to Adobe Flash. In as much as I find, it’s not a Vista Issue as it also occurs on XP. For once Microsoft is out of the race. The culprit is the incompatibility between Firefox with WordPress Media loader and Google Gears and Adobe. Na! Google and Firefox and WordPress, what a great Club! [yorgooads] How to prevent Firefox Crashes on WordPress There are two ways to at least temporarily take care of the problem: - disable Gears in your Browser or as I did, - delete Google Gears all together.

To display the pictures as a slide show, you need some additional soft ware, plug-ins. Example 2: Images are loaded into a Image Management Module and rendered as an embedded slide show: The above depends mainly of the technology used on your website since most computers can render such slide shows and there is therefore no discrimination of users who are not equipped with software beyond default.

The issue was about: how to tag and publish in the most efficient way a post targeting people who are looking for accommodation in Great Brak River on the Garden Route in South Africa. I had told Hanno that I have been testing different methods recently and that I had some astonishing results with a ‘new’ or a different way of tagging bringing the Semiomantics tuning advantages yet to another level. To increase the challenge, I wanted to use a brand new blog, in fact I started posting from the blog we set up last night at during the Ycademy call. The site is at Africa YORGOO Media and if you check it out: the configuration of the site is not yet completed, however the basic Semiomantics set up on YORGOO Media gave me the necessary confidence to take the bet.
