ternstyle’s blog is now Do Follow

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 20:56:47 +0000

So I’ve thought about it. It makes sense to me to allow do follow comments on ternstyle’s blog. You can now post comments using your website and it will be a do follow link directly under your gravatar with the name you choose to input. Merry early Christmas everybody. Please note: The blog has a Google PageRank of zero. Bummer. I’m attempting to do my part anyway.

Happy perusing.

Note: This following page has a PageRank of 3.

WordPress Plugins Updated

Today I added some much needed updates to two of my WordPress Plugins. Both of these plugins were in need of a pretty specific fix. I was using PHP’s short tags which replace the PHP function ‘echo’. Unfortunately, though many servers have this feature of PHP enabled in their php.ini files, some do not. I was getting an increasing number of individuals, using the two updated plugins, asking why they were unable to save their settings for these plugins. As of today I am no longer using the short tags.

Here is the change log for the Members List plugin:

Also I added some documentation on some additional helpful functions for the Automatic Youtube Video Posts Plugin:

Site Launch – MockTurtle.org

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:39:20 +0000

This was a fun one folks. Mock Turtle is a neat little family and child oriented marionette puppet show theatre. All the puppets are hand-crafted by the organization’s owner Doug Roysdon. Doug is an eccentric with an intellect affixed on creativity and an expansive vocabulary. Needless to say the meetings leading up to and during the launch of the site were interesting and entertaining.

When Doug contacted me I wasn’t even aware of his position in the community here in Bethlehem, PA. Now that the site is launched, the new year has arrived and budgets have rolled over it’ll be time to catch one of Mock Turtle’s shows which are run primarily out of the Charles Brown Ice House just over the Lehigh on the north side of Bethlehem. Visit the various schedules on Mock Turtle’s site to see when you can come out and see a show.

Visit the site here:

Let me know if you enjoy the design. The puppets on the homepage slider are my favorite part.

Thanks for visiting,

New Design Launched

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:59:29 +0000

Time is precious. Time is money. It’s hard to find time to improve my own website. Ternstyle is a web programming and web design company whose own website has suffered from day one. Most of my time is spent improving the various WordPress plugins, designing websites, managing content and supporting my products; let alone research and skill development.

Well enough is enough. I had to take some of that time and attempt to spruce up my site a bit. Ternstyle now has a shinier face. Many of the components of the new layout were take from the previous more simplistic design but now the look is a bit glossier. Also, I moved to a 3 column layout to accommodate various social networking plugins. Make use of them! Join me on Facebook, Twitter or just subscribe to my RSS feed. Every now and then I have something to say you’ll find worthwhile.

Updated 3 WordPress Plugins

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:24:03 +0000

This week I updated three of my wordpress plugins.

The Automatic YouTube Video Posts Plugin was in need of a feature that had been repeatedly requested. Everyone wanted to be able to draw in videos from multiple YouTube channel feeds to create posts. Done! My plugin now allows you to do this. I’ve implemented it here on this site. Two musician friends of mine are featured; Yancarlos Sanchez and AJ Silverberg. Both are very talented musicians and good people. Check out their videos.

I am also in the process of writing a new WordPress plugin which led me to a restructuring of a couple small things in my Event Page and Members List plugins. The CSS stylesheets were not being included using WordPress’ built in function “wp_enqueue_style”. I was printing them to the page which I determined to be bad practice. It is easier for a website owner or developer who decides they do not want to use a plugin’s stylesheets or javascripts to disclude said files, without having to butcher or hack the plugin including them, when the files have been queued using WordPress’ functions. It takes more work, searching and hacking when the files are echoed or printed to the page. Don’t be like me fellow plugin writers. Please properly queue your scripts.

ternstyle’s site launch!

admin — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:09:44 +0000

Today, April 5th, 2009, ternstyle launched its new site! Skipping many of the frills and getting right to the point, the aesthetic design is simple. The site is now geared much more toward being informative about ternstyle’s line of products.

Ternstyle’s mission has changed considerably. The primary focus has shifted from the sale of web design and hosting to the distribution of software. Much of the software available is shareware! As the site progresses there will be a number of very powerful web applications for sale. For example, ternCal, ternColor, ternForm etc.

Stay tuned for upcoming products which will be helpful to site owners and developers alike.
