Invest in Bobbing Wide
I’m just working on a site that uses Mal’s eCommerce shopping cart to take payments.
I think the site owners have missed a step in configuring the cart… the bit that actually takes the payments through Paypal.

How to embed a video into a WordPress page or post
This is an example of a video being embedded into a WordPress post.
[aembed:”http://www.youtube.com/v/kE0pwJ5PMDg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ 270 216]
If you want to see how it’s done then see the

If you hover over the video and right click then you may get given the option to “copy embed html”.
I noticed that when I do this the size defaults to 640 pixels wide with a height of 385.
You may want to adjust the values so that the video looks OK in your blog.

How NOT to to improve your facebook profile photo (part 3)
OK, so we’ve had two failed attempts to improve the logo for the Anchor Golf facebook page. Well, that’s two that I’ve documented. How are we going to find the solution? I mean, on our personal pages the pictures look fine don’t they? What’s so special about the Anchor Golf logo that prevents me from getting a nice version to display “correctly” on Facebook?
This afternoon I did a search and found a very nice blog explaining some of the rules. One of which is the maximum size of your profile picture is 200 (wide) x 600 (height)

But this doesn’t solve the problem of the scaled logo appearing cropped when shown on the wall.
I tried some more messing about by haven’t learnt the hard and fast rules yet. However, I did have a play with someone else’s logo and got some better results.
