How to Develop Money-Making Niche Sites with WordPress

[ downloaded 13 times | type: pdf | size: 662.06 KB ]

By nature a blog is an ongoing conversation with the reader and as such it requires regular updating. A blog can of course be very profitable but it requires constant work. The kind of niche sites that I build with WordPress as I describe in this book can be setup and then simply left alone and require zero maintenance.

This Ebook is a beginners guide to using the WordPress platform to setup static websites as opposed to the usual blogs that we are so used to with WordPress.

The sites in question are small static (using pages and not posts) websites that are optimised towards a particular subject and then monetized using AdSense and affiliate links. However, this Ebook is not about making money – it’s about WordPress.

Flickr Mini Gallery Hot Fix

[ downloaded 609 times | type: zip | size: ]

Hot fix for Flickr Mini Gallery to work with WordPress' built in jQuery using the enqueue script function.

Actionable

Actionable has been languishing for a while now and needs some attention.  Among the work that needs done it to the following:

1. Allow editing of action items from the admin pages
2. Create additional views for analyzing the data captured
3. Add widget that displays statistics
4. Convert animations to jQuery UI library

Version 0.8.3 has the following changes:

• Updated animated collapse JavaScript to fix issue with jquery 1.3.2.
  • This was causing Facelift Image Replacement to not work when both were in operation together.
• Tested to work with WordPress 2.8.

Facelift Image Replacement for WordPress

I haven’t had time to do much more than minimal maintenance on Facelift Image Replacement. I’ve seen that there are number of issues with the plugin for WordPress. The roadmap for Facelift looks something like this:

Version 0.8.8 should include the following updates:

1. Add realFontHeight as a checkbox item for Elements to Replace
2. Add option for custom FLIRStyles in Elements to Replace
3. Add correct wrap for FancyFonts
4. Add check for get_browser – disable checkbox for IE 6 option if not available and add notice
5. Fix location of global settings for Automatic (wrap/progressive/etc.) – currently listed with Elements to Replace which only shows when using methods other than Automatic
6. Fix font name issue – probably will only note that fonts cannot contain spaces

I am planning the following for version 0.8.9:

1. Update FLIR to 2.0x whatever version is available when I get there.
   1. No longer planning to branch FLIR for tighter integration of the plugin more closely with WordPress plan the following instead:
      1. On upgrade recreate config-flir.php from stored settings in WordPress DB.
      2. Change the fonts path to wp-content/flir-fonts so user fonts are not removed when the plugin is updated from within WordPress.
      3. Change the cache path to wp-content/flir-cache cache will not cause the upgrade to fail of directory permissions are not the same a web server user.
2. Add ability to upload and manage fonts from within the plugin. Will include automatic renaming of fonts to reduce issues.
3. Fix the activation/deactivation of the plugin to clear the cache and hopefully eliminate the one remaining upgrade issue when upgrading from within WordPress.

And by the time version 0.9.0 is released you should see the following features:

1. Add the long promised QuickEffects to the plugin.
2. Fix all the bugs caused by me in the previous release.
3. Add any last feature requests that seem to fit.
4. Should be considered beta for 1.0

Eventually a full verison (1.0) will be released and at that point the only real changes should be the following:

1. Use Facelift 2.0 once released.
2. Squash any remaining bugs and release.

Version 0.8.7.1 has the following changes:

• Minor adjustments to work with WordPress 2.8.
• Minor changes to jQuery method to ensure compatibility with jQuery 1.3.2.

Lightbox Plus

Finally Lightbox Plus is in need of a serious overhaul.  For this I have a number of plans:

1. Rebuild lightbox to use Colorbox for image overlay with the following advantages
   1. Supports photos, photo groups, slideshow, ajax, inline, and iframed content.
   2. Appearance is completely controlled through CSS so users can restyle the box.
   3. Written in jQuery plugin format and can be chained with other jQuery commands.
   4. Generates W3C valid XHTML and CSS, adds no JS global variables & passes JSLint.
2. Add enhanced features for use with NextGEN Gallery and WordPress built in gallery.
3. Solicit and implement language translations.

Finally version 1.3.4 of Lightbox Plus has been updated to work with WordPress 2.8

I’ve been thinking about some other plugin possibilities and I am looking for feedback regarding them.  I’ll post about them as soon as I can find my notes.

Anyway the new version is just a minor update that fixes a few bugs and adds a few small features and makes it a little more WordPress 2.7 friendly.

I need to finish up a few things then do some browser testing.

The changes should be as follows:

• Set the tags used by the Automatic method to follow the element types as defined in the configuration
• Add checkbox to allow the use of external JavaScript libraries – jQuery, Scriptaculous and Prototype support only
• Hide Elements to Replace section when using Automatic method as it is not used in that case.
• Add checkbox to disable FLIR for IE6 users to to various problems, may expand to disable for older browsers in general.
• Fix the global Use FancyFonts not showing it’s activated.
• Other minor interface fixes.

Flir & Safari

• Updated Facelift to 1.2 release
• Rewrote code for better readability and adherence to code conventions (hopefully)
• Redesigned admin interface to be more logically organized (again, hopefully)
  • Added more helpful information to the configuration text.
• Added ability to specify all elements to replace rather than just the few I had.
  • For example you can specify something like h1,h2,div#sidebar a to have your h1, h2 headers and all of the sidebar links replaced.
• Fixed config-flir.php from being replaced or not present.
