Photoshop CS6 Today let’s have a look at Photoshop CS6 Beta which is available for free download from Adobe. The version is called ‘Superstition’ and it is the first significant update to Photoshop since CS5 ( in the Suite CS5.5 Adobe delivered the same Photoshop as in CS5). Who is Photoshop CS6 for? Having thoroughly tested the new Photoshop CS6 Beta, it seems to me that this version is addressing namely people who are working with digital photos and videos; also the 3D features have been significantly improved. In other words, if you are not using Photoshop to edit your images, needing content aware patching and selective blurring, there is no real need to upgrade your CS5. If however you are a photo freak and if you are shooting short videos, then Photoshop CS6 is a smashing program, allowing you to go beyond what photography can do (such as multiple shallow depth of field areas on a single image). What is new on Photoshop CS6? This is what’s new on Photoshop CS6: UI redesign (all new icons and optional dark UI) OK, they copied (sorry, got inspired by (big companies don’t copy, huh)) Apple’s Aperture; you can switch back [...]

Ycademy: Facebook, WP and the Mobile Web Ycademy Online Seminar This month’s Ycademy Online Seminar will take place on March 24 and 25, starting at 1 pm London (GMT) time and ending at 21 pm London time on both days.

Image Borders, Padding, Captions on XO Theme Thumbnails on WordPress There are two kinds of thumbnails produced on your XO site: the native WordPress thumbnails and the thumbnails generated by XO for the purpose of display throughout the theme where the WordPress thumbnails don’t fit. WordPress Thumbnails Thumbnail sizes are set in your dashboard under Settings > Media. When we change the thumbs’ sizes, the change will apply only to new content. These thumbnails are used by default in the XO Basic Home Page Layout. In order to modify thumbnails created previously to a change in WordPress settings, we use the “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin; install from your dashboard and then just run it: this will create thumbnails corresponding to the new WP Media settings for all images in the library and galleries. The Regenerate Thumbnails plugin will have no impact on syndicated posts unless you also pull in the images to your library when syndicating. XO Theme Thumbnails When we upload an image from our dashboard in XO, XO creates 12 thumbnails adapted to the needs of the site and stores them in the default uploads folder for faster loading. If we change the layout settings in XO advanced home [...]

XO Theme for WordPress Styling After each post, we display Tag, Category and RSS references. They are not part of the actual post; they are of a rather technical nature and may help visitors to find contextual content on the site. The SEO impact of publishing such Meta Information is discussable. Styling the Author Name We want to display the author’s name underneath the main title in small but remarkable fonts: .post .meta, .hentry .meta,.post .meta a, .hentry .meta a { color:#111111;letter-spacing:5px; } Note: we just use letter-spacing to gain visibility. Bottom Tags Usually these meta tags are printed in small print, often difficult to read. For the purpose of this exercise we have switched to a serif font (Times) and increased letter spacing for better readability: .storycontent .postmetadata, .storycontent .tags { font-family: Times, "Times New Roman",serif; font-variant:small-caps; font-size:16px; line-height:1.1em;color:#101010; letter-spacing:2.5px; } .storycontent .postmetadata a, .storycontent .tags a{ color:#000000; } Nothing really exciting here: we are using small-caps (alternatively upper-cases) and letter-spacing of 2.5px.Note that letter-spacing can take decimal values. The fun is in experimenting with font, colors and styles! Related posts: WordPress Date Styling Custom Typography on Semiomantics XO Theme for WordPress

Empire Avenue Changes Again Subsequent to a recent blog post by Empire Avenue concerning recent changes, here are some comments: Empire Avenue Old vs. New System While the old system may have rewarded people for posting any nonsense, now we are rewarded for clicking on and engaging with any nonsense. What’s the improvement? Empire Avenue rewards Re-tweets of Re-tweets The retweet of retweets remains and becomes increasingly a rewarding industry on EA. Empire Avenue’s real Problem The modifications don’t really improve EA’s real problem, which is its own growth. Since May, EA has only lost traffic and looking at the quality and number of new arrivals, my projection on the future would be bearish. Boredom on Empire Avenue? While the game is exciting at the beginning, it becomes boring after a while and as rewards drop dramatically (cashflow) as the share-price increases you see people stagnating somewhere at the 80-120e level. In fact, the regressive reward system means that people would need to increase their social activity daily to maintain their growth, which automatically drives the system right into the wall. Empire Avenues privileges Large Portfolios and highly priced shares The recent changes seem to be in favor of large [...]

Semiomantics XO takes your Images to Google Top 10 Semiomantics XO is in my opinion the best publishing framework for WordPress. XO powered websites reach high visibility and perform extremely well on search engines namely on Google. Since the release of XO 2011, pre-configured custom post formats are available, namely for media publishing. Here below the screenshots of the top 30 on Google Page 2: Page 3: Search returns on Google The search term: Publishing Digital Photos on WordPress returns over 19 million results.

Original Article at WordPress on Facebook.WordPress for Facebook Seminar Welcome to the WordPress for Facebook Seminar! This seminar is about Social Media Marketing and Communication involving WordPress, namely the Semiomantics XO Framework and Facebook. During the next two days we will elaborate and implement strategies to automate publication and communication across platforms with a special focus on the mobile web. WordPress on Facebook Why would you want to combine WordPress with Facebook? The main reason is to remain in control of your content, its presentation and the way it streams to and from Facebook. Also, a self-hosted WordPress provides you with better content management features and automation tools than Facebook. If you are a Facebook freak, you can even spend the rest of your life within Facebook and publish at the same time through WordPress Semiomantics XO right from within Facebook. Our pre-seminar sessions demonstrated how to embed your XO on a Facebook Canvas page, from where you have complete access to your WP installation, dashboard and editing and publishing tools. If you don’t want to spend any time in Facebook, then you just need to implement Social Media Marketing and Publishing Strategies as lined out in the YORGOO Publishing Model and your Facebook antenna [...]

Visit the original article at http://yorgonestoridis.com/yorgo-nestoridis-publishing-1/blog-for-money/.How to set up a Money Making Blog We are looking at 4 essential elements needed to make money with your blog. 1. Traffic Where there are no visitors, there is no money. Traffic will depend on how well you communicate the existence of your content or how well you promote your blog. Some of the most used ways to bring visitors to our blog are email, search engine optimization, aggregators, social networking, wod to mouth. In short: all means of communication are good to make people aware of our blog or a blog post. 2. Content While the first task of your content is to be noticed by search engines and spiders in order to be indexed and listed in the most appropriate way, the second task is to provide your reader content of interest and value. The indexing and listing makes it possible for people to find your posts when they search for information, solutions, benefits or for whatever they may type into a search box. Once they are on your site, the quality of you content will decide on your success; it can build trust, inspire authority [...]
