Before joining Inmeres I had never heard of WordPress, let alone used it. But on the recommendation of Steven I decided to take the plunge and see what all of the fuss was about. What I found was that it really is a fantastic piece of kit (from the front-end aspect at least) that can be used as far more than just simple blogging software. Continue reading

multi-column javascript issue
I was trying out Cédric Savarese’s script for multi-column layouts (using the poorly supported CSS3 rules), when i ran into a problem…
It seemed to leave a big gap under the columns. Now i don’t know much about javascript, but i decided to have a look around the file anyway. After a lot of trial and error, i found that removing this line
elem.style.minHeight = newHeight+’px’;
from two places (there are only two), seems to have fixed it! I’m not sure if i’ve broken anything else as a result, however all seems okay for now.
If anything breaks, i’ll remove this post!
PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN)
Harnessing the simplicity and power of PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification system (or PayPal IPN for short) is a perfect solution to selling online downloads and subscription based content.
With their IPN system it is possible for PayPal to communicate information such as successful payments as well as the customer’s information during the payment process. At Inmeres we have solutions for bespoke systems or existing open-source systems such as OS Commerce, Zen Cart, or even WordPress.
Your knowledge is worth paying for, and through the combination of PayPal IPN, WordPress and a subscription based system you can sell this information. Either in the form of protected web pages or downloadable documents such as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
flexible tables in internet explorer
I had a slight problem in ie 6, where i had a fixed size menu on the left and a flexible container on the right. Within this container i had a flexible table.

Don’t be afraid of whitespace
What is whitespace?
Often referred to as negative space, whitespace is nothingness. A void of content. Subsequently it doesn’t need to be white, just blank.
Fotobook review
I recently photographed a wedding. As part of the package I supplied a Photo Book. You know the ones… the photo albums that are printed directly on the pages and then bound, to produce an actual book. A great memento of the day and much more liable to survive the years.
