Blunaland How to Organize an Online Book in WordPress (Novel or Non-Fiction) Let’s say you’ve written (or are writing) a book. But instead of publishing it in a traditional way, you decide to “put it online.” By that I don’t mean you make it into a PDF ebook or a digital book. I mean you decide to turn your book into a website. Using WordPress for this project could work well, but WordPress straight out of the box will probably not suit your needs exactly. Different Strokes for Different Folks There are number of ways to go about turning WordPress into a suitable platform for an online book. It should also be noted that different people will have different preferences and different needs according to their situation. Therefore, the recommendations listed in this tutorial are just that – recommendations. Why Posts? The reason I chose to go with Posts for this tutorial is that you typically have more flexibility with Posts. OK, enough with all the disclaimers.

22 of the best mobile messaging apps to replace SMS on your smartphone We’ve known for sometime that SMS is becoming passe for many smartphone owners worldwide. Sure, people still use it, but there are a slew of apps that go way beyond it, offering easy multimedia functions, group chats, video calls, gaming and much more. Beyond being SMS replacements, these apps are essentially ‘SMS+’ — to coin a phrase uttered to me recently by the founder of a messaging company. But with so many apps out there it can be difficult to know exactly which one is best for you and your friends. WhatsApp WhatsApp needs little introduction since it is arguably the world’s most popular messaging app, with more than 300 million people using it each month. The service costs $0.99 for a one-year subscription — although it is free for the first year — and it supports a wide range of phones. Pros: Simple to use and popular enough that most of your friends may have it installed already. Verdict: A must-have app. Download: iOS | Android | Windows Phone | BlackBerry | Others GroupMe Line WeChat

Put simply, analytics measure the state of the product, what users are doing, what they are clicking on, etc. To illustrate the difference, consider this example. The more independent measurements you have the better you can characterise the state of the system or how people are using your product. Why are analytics important? Analytics are important for one major reason: What you don’t measure, you can’t improve.

IDEO CEO Tim Brown on the future of "design thinking" - 60 Minutes Les cent livres du siècle Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les cent livres du siècle est un classement français des livres considérés comme les cent meilleurs du XXe siècle, établi au printemps 1999 dans le cadre d'une opération organisée par la Fnac et Le Monde. À partir d'une liste préalable de deux cents titres établie par les libraires et journalistes, dix-sept mille Français ont voté pour répondre à la question « Quels livres sont restés dans votre mémoire ? »[1]. Les cinquante premiers ouvrages de la liste font l'objet d'un essai de Frédéric Beigbeder, Dernier inventaire avant liquidation, dans lequel il relève notamment son caractère franco-centré. En effet, 50% de ces cinquante premiers ouvrages sont d'origine française ou franco-étrangère (44% pour la liste entière).

Top 10 WordPress Plugins of the Month — April 2013 Edition Welcome to another edition of the ManageWP Plugins of the Month series! For the most part the plugins I feature in this monthly roundup are manually selected from a dynamic list that filters by various variables (such as average rating and number of downloads). That is what makes the ManageWP Plugins of the Month series unique – it features only new and relatively unknown plugins. However, on occasion I will stumble across a plugin myself that cries out for inclusion. This month I actually have two such plugins, which only serves to lift the overall quality of the selection on offer. 10. I actually came across this plugin thanks to a ManageWP reader who recommended it in the comments section in a recent post (thanks Rob!). …and any future uploaded images that are larger than the specified dimensions will be automatically downsized. In addition to this you can also set the plugin to automatically convert BMPs into JPGs and set the default compression rate for JPG images. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 3.

The Story Behind The Famous FedEx Logo, And Why It Works The following is an excerpt from The Laws of Subtraction by Matthew May (McGraw-Hill). My ten-year-old daughter points out the logo on a FedEx truck every time she sees one. She’s done that without fail ever since she learned to sound out letters. But she doesn’t do that with any other logo. “There’s the white arrow that no one on my gymnastics team knows about,” she’ll say. The FedEx logo is legendary among designers. We spoke at length about visual impact, his creative process, and his story of the FedEx logo development. “It’s those kinds of stories that are the most gratifying for me, most rewarding,” he says.
