how to write good copy

Keep it short and to the point.

The end

Okay so that was a little vague, but it serves a good point. People don’t read on the internet, they scan. We are so used to searching on google, clicking links and finding we end up in the wrong place, that we tend to scan the page first to make sure we’re in the right place. In addition, we also do this in newspapers. Scanning the headlines, maybe the first paragraph and quickly deciding if we want to read further.

My first WordPress plugin

Before joining Inmeres I had never heard of WordPress, let alone used it. But on the recommendation of Steven I decided to take the plunge and see what all of the fuss was about. What I found was that it really is a fantastic piece of kit (from the front-end aspect at least) that can be used as far more than just simple blogging software. More »

multi-column javascript issue

I was trying out Cédric Savarese’s script for multi-column layouts (using the poorly supported CSS3 rules), when i ran into a problem…

It seemed to leave a big gap under the columns. Now i don’t know much about javascript, but i decided to have a look around the file anyway. After a lot of trial and error, i found that removing this line

elem.style.minHeight = newHeight+’px’;

from two places (there are only two), seems to have fixed it! I’m not sure if i’ve broken anything else as a result, however all seems okay for now.

If anything breaks, i’ll remove this post!

PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN)

Harnessing the simplicity and power of PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification system (or PayPal IPN for short) is a perfect solution to selling online downloads and subscription based content.

With their IPN system it is possible for PayPal to communicate information such as successful payments as well as the customer’s information during the payment process. At Inmeres we have solutions for bespoke systems or existing open-source systems such as OS Commerce, Zen Cart, or even Wordpress.

Your knowledge is worth paying for, and through the combination of PayPal IPN, Wordpress and a subscription based system you can sell this information. Either in the form of protected web pages or downloadable documents such as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
