Hi everyone, its time again for our weekly Mash Up series. This series is a list of great articles I have read over the last week or so and I share them here. Generally these lists have articles for everyone. You can usually find a great listing of design related articles. But I also share articles about SEO, blogging, making money online, social media, new media, photography, and inspiration articles.
This week’s list is a short list, but its a good one. Today’s list have topics in WordPress, SEO, social media, attracting new clients, and action photography for a little inspiration.
WordPress
How To Control Your WordPress Widgets Behavior Individually?
“Have you ever been to a WordPress powered website where certain items appear on the sidebar or footer, and when going to a different page, they don’t? I don’t know about you but I have always wanted to be able to have the ability to control how my widgets can be viewed on certain pages or categories of my website. To exemplify, lets say that I have a widget which shows an ad that I only would like to appear in the homepage. I don’t want that ad to show on any other pages on my sidebar. How do I do that?”
Use Any Font on WordPress with Simple Cufon Replacement
“The most stylish WordPress sites use non-standard fonts in their designs. The trouble is that in most cases, the end user won’t have the font installed on their machine which would naturally stop them from being able to see it as the designer intended.
A commonly used method for getting around this problem is a script called Cufon, which renders the font on the server, rather than on the client, so it doesn’t matter whether the end user has the font installed or not – it can still be displayed properly.“
SEO
Using Search Operators For Your SEO Link Building
“Since the Farmer/Panda update to Google’s algorithm; SEO professionals are finding that directory submissions, link farms and article submissions no longer cut the mustard. To find links with true worth, link builders must now look at guest blogging, social bookmarking and link baiting to find quality links that really improve website ranking. To find such sites, there are a variety of search operators which make the process much easier than it would otherwise be.”
Social Media

Easy peasy, this Facebook stuff is a cinch! Well you’re right, it all is pretty easy to implement, but what else could you be doing? What other ways can you utilize Facebook (and its 500 million active users) to help market your company?"
