MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate for WordPress Review

Monday, June 7th, 2010

If you have any hopes of earning money from affiliate products, MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is one high-priced plugin that you must have.

The program automatically replaces words and phrases on your blog with affiliate links, allowing you to earn a commission every time someone purchases a product through those links.  For example, I set the key phrase “ninja affiliate” to link to the official product sales page. Should you purchase the product through my link, I would earn a commission on the $97 purchase price. I have a maximum of 3 linkable key phrases set, so not every occurrence of the “ninja affiliate” keyphrase will be automatically linked in this post.

How to Change Only the Main Index/Frontpage Background of your WordPress Blog

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

With the Custom Post Background, WordPress users can change individual post or page backgrounds in the admin control panel. But what if you want to change the background of the front or mainpage of your WordPress blog? Unfortunately there is not a plugin that will allow you to do that. That is why I have taken the time to write a fairly basic PHP script that will allow you to change only the frontpage of your WordPress blog.

The Custom Post Background WordPress Plugin

Monday, February 15th, 2010

->> Download Version 1.2.0.0

This plugin was designed by a college buddy named David Sherret who lives over on DavidSherret.com. He may or may not be open to suggestions for changing the plugin.

The Custom Post Background plugin for WordPress adds a great deal of visual customization ability to your blog posts and page appearances. It allows you to easily change the background of individual blog posts/pages using CSS or an image URL (with or without a x/y/both repeat).

At the main menu, CPB lists all of your pages/posts and displays any background settings that are set. For any page, clicking on the edit button will open up a sub-menu with fields where you can then make your background customizations.

As you can see, you can change the background with CSS/URL of image to apply to only the background of the post, only on the background of the home/main page, or both pages.

The ”Color” field option allows you to quickly make background changes using the background-color CSS code. You can enter any color (such as “red,” “blue,” “green”) or enter a hex value, like: #A9A7A7. You can also change the whole page background (not just the post background) of any individual post with the ”Display as page background on post page” option.
