WordCamp Montreal 2011

I Will be at WordCamp Montréal 2011

By on June 20, 2011 in pixelyzed News, WordPress

WordCamp Montréal 2011 is com­ing in July and I will be attend­ing this great event for the sec­ond time. When I was there last year, I was just start­ing to get seri­ous about WordPress and had done a cou­ple of test projects includ­ing Isabelle’s site and this one of course. Now I’ve been work­ing with WordPress on pretty much all my client projects for the last 14 months and it has become the cor­ner­stone of my process.

There are a lot of in-​depth talks at WordCamp Montréal this year and it looks like I’ll prob­a­bly be learn­ing more than last time. If you are in the area dur­ing the week­end of July 9 and 10 and you are inter­ested or already work­ing with WordPress, you owe it to your­self to be there. The Montréal WordPress com­mu­nity is truly awesome!

See you there!

The Real Pixelyzed 3.0 is Live (and Back with Headway)

By on June 19, 2011 in Headway Theme, pixelyzed News, WordPress

Sometime last week I finally fin­ished the “real” pix­e­lyzed 3.0 redesign and switched the theme of the site back to Headway. I’m very happy to be back to Headway and will talk about it more in future posts as I truly think it’s the best WordPress theme frame­work for pro­fes­sion­als doing client sites on WordPress.

The 3.0 design will prob­a­bly be tweaked and evolve with time but I do not con­sider it tran­si­tional as I’d done with all the ver­sions between it and the orig­i­nal pix­e­lyzed 1.0 design (the one with the “pix­els” grid). It is pur­pose­fully sim­ple and I will help me con­cen­trate on cre­at­ing con­tent. Continue Reading →

Any Interest in eBooks on Adobe Fireworks (and other subjects)?

By on March 28, 2011 in eBooks, Learning

To this day, my tuto­r­ial on remov­ing image back­grounds non-​destructively using Adobe Fireworks is still by far the most vis­ited page on this site. I still receive email about it and ques­tions from peo­ple request­ing help with how to deal with their own images or more com­plex images than the ones the tuto­r­ial covered.

So, I’m throw­ing an idea out there : Would any­one be inter­ested in a rea­son­ably priced eBook on the sub­ject that would go much deeper into the issue and even include some video where I show some of the tech­niques live? If so, what would you con­sider a rea­son­able price?

Furthermore, if you’ve had images that gave you trou­ble and would be will­ing to share them with me (an any­one who will read the eBook), feel free to con­tact me and you can then send me the images and I will choose some to use as exam­ples. Any other feed­back on this idea you want to pro­vide is very welcome.

Other Subjects

If there’s any­thing else related to Web design, WordPress or any of the things I usu­ally dis­cuss here that you would like help with then share it in a com­ment or send a mes­sage directly to me. eBooks can cover a lot more ground eas­ier than a blog post or online tuto­r­ial so, any­thing that might ben­e­fit from an eBook treat­ment is some­thing I could write about.

Thanks!

Coming Up On pix​e​lyzed​.com In 2011

By on January 3, 2011 in pixelyzed News

To say that I have been busy in the lat­ter half of 2010 would be an under­state­ment… my lack of post­ing here or on my com­pany blog is a tes­ta­ment to it. But I’ve been learn­ing a lot and plan to share my best finds as usual. So, here are a few things that are com­ing up here soon…

4 Great Plugins For Controlling Spam On Your WordPress Blog

By on July 5, 2010 in WordPress

If you’ve been run­ning a blog with even a mod­er­ate amount of traf­fic, you know that one of the biggest annoy­ances that come with it is spam. Whether is comes in com­ments, trackbacks/​pingbacks or fake bot sub­scrip­tions, deal­ing with it can eat up a siz­able amount of your pre­cious time.

But it doesn’t need to be this way. If your blog is pow­ered by WordPress, there are sev­eral plu­g­ins that you can down­load for free that will vir­tu­ally elim­i­nate all spam. They also make it very easy to deal with what they’re not sure about by putting them in the mod­er­a­tion queue.
