Convert All Windows to Tabs in Safari with a Keyboard Shortcut

Jul 2, 2012 - Leave a Comment

It’s easy to find yourself in a sea of open web browser windows, but with Safari there’s a great feature that lets you merge windows into tabs. We’ll take that nice little feature a step further and turn it into a keyboard shortcut, letting you instantly convert an ocean of windows into a single Safari window with just a keystroke:

1. Open System Preferences from the  Apple menu
2. Click on “Keyboard” and select the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab
3. Choose “Application Shortcuts” from the list on the left, then click the [+] plus icon to add a new shortcut
4. Select “Safari.app” from the Application pull down list, then type “Merge All Windows” as the menu title

5. Finally, set the keyboard shortcut to use, I went with Control+Command+W as a variation of the common close windows command
6. Click “Add” then go back to Safari, open a few windows, and hit your keyboard shortcut to verify it worked

If the keyboard shortcut didn’t work, you may have chosen a keystroke that conflicts with another function, or you may have not entered the menu title properly. Custom keyboard shortcuts are case sensitive, so be sure to use the proper capitalization and exact spelling.

Transfer a Playlist from iPhone, iPod, or iPad to iTunes

Jul 2, 2012 - Leave a Comment

Do you have a music playlist on an iPod, iPhone, or iPad that you want to move to iTunes on your computer? It’s fairly easy:

1. Connect the iPod, iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes
2. Under the “Devices” menu locate the playlist you want to copy to the computer and right-click on the playlist name, then select “Export”

3. Name the playlist and select “XML” as the filetype format and save the file to somewhere easy to find, like the desktop

4. Pull down the “File” menu, go to “Library” and now select “Import Playlist”, choosing the XML playlist file you exported in the previous step

The playlist from the iOS device is now in iTunes on the computer, find it under the Playlists menu. You will obviously need to have the music featured in the playlist within iTunes in order for the playlist to work, if you don’t have the music because you switched computers you will need to transfer the music from the iOS device to the computer first.

This is a great solution if you’ve lost playlists from iTunes and the standard recovery process didn’t work, or if you’ve just spent a lot of time customizing playlists directly on an iOS device and you now want to enjoy them on the computer.

This works the same in Mac OS X and Windows.

Thanks to Jennifer for the tip idea

Fix Dull Colors & Contrasts on New MacBook Air/Pro by Calibrating the Display

Jun 29, 2012 - 7 Comments

If you have a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro and the colors seem a bit dull and washed out compared to your previous Mac, you probably aren’t imagining things. Like most other hardware companies, Apple sources display panels from a variety of screen manufacturers, and though all the displays are of very high quality some show colors and contrasts a bit different than others. If your black levels seem more grey and colors aren’t really popping out, you just need to calibrate your display to resolve the dull color and low contrast issue, it’s easy to do and just takes a few minutes.

Before beginning, you may want to check the manufacturer of your display panel. Typically the Samsung displays don’t need calibration, whereas the LG displays do. Specifically for MacBook Air owners with LG displays, check this post to grab a pre-calibrated profile too.

Calibrating the Display to Correct Dull Colors & Contrasts

This works on any Mac and with any version of Mac OS X:

1. Launch System Preferences from the  Apple menu and choose “Displays”
2. Click the “Color” tab and then click the “Calibrate” button
3. Check the “Expert Mode” box at the bottom of the screen and click continue
4. Read the directions carefully and walk through the 7 step process of calibrating the display, save the profile and it will automatically be selected as the default

The difference in color representation and contrast should be significant after display calibration, you can immediately check the difference by clicking between the default “Color LCD” and the newly created calibration profile. Black and white levels should be more accurate, contrasts should be better, and colors should be more vibrant and accurate.

This isn’t a permanent change, and at any time you can recalibrate the display if you want to, and you can also return to the default color profile just by selecting “Color LCD” in the profile list.

Topmost image is a simulated representation on the difference between a calibrated and uncalibrated display, because calibration effects how screens display colors it is impossible to capture in a screen shot.

The Importance of Buttons and Strong Calls to Action

Apr 3, 2012 | Categories: Copy-writing, Online Marketing

Whether you are trying to convert targeted visitors to buyers, or curious web surfers to “FREE” members, the recipe you will usually need to follow when constructing your landing page is the same: that is, you must strive to have an unambiguous and clear call to action on your web page.Some Internet Marketers like to use the term “primary call to action” to refer to the most important action which you would like any person viewing that page to perform.There are also other levels of call to action types which are sometimes referred to as “secondary call to action” and “subordinate call to action” but these are lower down on the importance scale when compared to the primary call to action.The primary call to action is the ultimate goal of your landing pages and it defines the purpose of why you have that page on your site to begin with.A primary call to action should generally be represented by some kind of button although this is not strictly always the case.Human beings surfing the Internet seem to be psychologically drawn to buttons and people are almost instinctively compelled to click them if they feel that the situation calls for it.This ...

What Exactly is WordPress MultiSite (WPMS) Install

Mar 17, 2012 | Categories: Web development, Wordpress

If you’ve ever wondered what people are talking about when they mention WordPress Multisite then please read on. This brief article will explain what WordPress Multisite is, and also some of its concepts and features.WordPress multisite, sometimes abbreviated as WPMS,  is defined in wordpress.org as:“Multisite is a feature of WordPress 3.0 and later versions that allows multiple virtual sites to share a single WordPress installation. When the multisite feature is activated, the original WordPress site can be converted to support a network of sites.”In other words WPMS gives you the ability to have multiple individual sites within one WordPress installation and one database which all fits under the umbrella of what is known as a network.So when talking about WPMS it is common to refer to the whole multisite installation as the network. The term site is usually used when talking about each of the individual sites within the WPMS network.The individual sites created within the WPMS network are also sometimes known as “virtual” sites because they don’t actually exist in the file system but only the database.Each site within the network can feature different plugins and themes and have completely different content - just like a separate, independent single ...

5 Tips On How To Make Your Blog Visitors Stay Longer

Mar 1, 2012 | Categories: Blogging Tips, Site Optimization Tips

The length of time that you can keep your visitors on your website can be a crucial factor in determining how successful your blog will be.Simply getting traffic in the form of thousands of unique visitors daily is meaningless if the time they spend on your site is less than a few seconds or your bounce rate is more than 95%.There are certain things you can do in the way you present your pages and posts which will maximize the chances of your visitors sticking around for a longer period on your site.The longer people stay the greater your opportunity to monetize their visit or convince them to take your desired call to action.A call to action is an Internet marketing term which refers to the primary action that you want your visitors to take when they land on your page or website. One example of a call to action  is where you want someone to click your “buy now” button and purchase your product. Another might be that you want to get people to download your free ebook after signing up as members.Below are some tips which will help you to keep the attention of your visitors or at ...

Understanding the Importance of Landing and Sales Pages

Feb 17, 2012 | Categories: Copy-writing, Online Marketing

Relevance is the most important factor when you are advertising on the Internet.The more relevant the keywords are to your ad text and your product or service, the more likely the ads will be to get clicked on by users who are actively searching for you and your business.The landing page is the page specifically designed as the entrance point for the users that click on your ad or contextual link and its job is to convince them to perform the relevant call-to-action which you want them to.But the biggest downfall of any Adwords or advertising campaign in general is when users land on poor quality or irrelevant landing pages.Spending money on Adwords and other advertising campaigns without having a proper landing page is like throwing money down the drain.Landing pages are one of the key components as part of your overall marketing strategy which you should strive to get right. After all, the primary purpose of landing pages is to turn visits into conversions.The landing page is where all of the magic happens after you’ve spent hours of SEO work and spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars just to get visitors to your page.It therefore makes sense that ...

WordPress Action Hooks and Filter Hooks – An Introduction

Feb 6, 2012 | Categories: Web development, Wordpress

If you’re learning about WordPress and are thinking of doing some plugin or theme development, then hooks are something which you should become familiar with.Even if you don’t plan on becoming a fully fledged programmer but simply like to tweak themes to suit your needs, then WordPress hooks are also something which you should be aware of.In this brief article we are going to introduce you to the two types of hooks which are used in WordPress and how you can identify them.We will also briefly look at you how you can leverage hooks to insert customised code in order to achieve some new functionality. So what are WordPress hooks? To put it simply, a “hook” is a certain location in the WordPress code which allows you to attach or run your own code. The word “hook” is an apt description because it literally conveys the act of hooking onto something - in this case hooking your code up to the core code of WordPress.Another way of describing WordPress hooks is that they are sort of like designated areas within the WordPress code which give you the opportunity to execute your own functions.If you decided to write a WordPress plugin or if ...

Some Useful Things About WordPress Which You Should Know

Jan 25, 2012 | Categories: Web development, Wordpress

Straight out of the box, WordPress is an amazingly effective content management system and blogging platform.Within its core PHP interior resides functionality which makes it the most flexible and easy to use platform for creating websites ranging from the simplest blog to a full blown business eCommerce site.The majority of the WordPress functionality is clearly visible and accessible from the user interface in the administration panel.However there are also some other less obvious but powerful functional features which are available when you delve a little deeper into the WordPress internals.This article will introduce you to two common and useful functional features of WordPress which you should be aware of. WordPress Template Hierarchy WordPress uses a hierarchical template structure which determines how it renders any particular page or view for your currently active theme.The mechanics of this hierarchy are quite simple. WordPress will automatically check for the existence of certain template files in your theme folder in a pre-determined order whenever it is trying to render a particular page or view.For instance let’s take the example of a WordPress page. Before rendering any “page”, WordPress will check for the following templates in the order shown until it finds one and it will then display ...

How to Increase Your Online Persuasion Abilities

Jan 14, 2012 | Categories: Copy-writing, Online Marketing, Shop Admin Tips

Persuasion techniques for the Internet are often quite different to persuasion techniques which are used in face-to-face situations.In contrast to the art of face-to-face persuasion, the online world means you are unable to read physical cues such as facial expressions and body language, which in turn means that you can’t instantly adjust your delivery based on these cues.On the Internet, your website and its various pages is mainly responsible for the task of persuading your visitors to buy your products or services.Thus, persuading people on the Internet usually means anticipating what people want or what action they will perform next.Factors such as the design of your site and the delivery of the content all play a significant role in shaping the user’s experience. In general, the better the experience for your visitors, the greater the chances that they will buy something from you.Persuading people to carry out an action on your site such as making a purchase is a subtle art-form and there is no magical single way to do it.However, there are things you can do to your website and the way you present your message which can increase the probability that somebody will perform the particular action you ...

6 Tips to Help Ignite Your Creativity and Increase Your Success

Jan 5, 2012 | Categories: Good Living

When it comes to achieving success on the Internet or anything in life for that matter, it probably isn’t a secret that having some capacity of creative spark or talent can increase your chances of attaining your goals.But what makes some people more creative and successful than others? Is creativity something genetic and does that mean those who aren’t blessed with this gene are doomed to never be creative or successful?Well the simple answer is that creativity is something which we are ALL born with but some people lose it more than others as they grow older. If you observe young children playing you’ll know what I mean when I say we all start with a propensity for some kind of creativity which is usually fueled by curiosity.Many people lack a creative spark because they stopped doing the simple things which leads to creative ideas in the first place.Most people, as they grow older start to develop bad habits or a limited mindset maybe because they are in a job they don’t like or a difficult financial situation. As time goes by, the curiosity they had when they were children diminishes and with that so does creativity.Instead of using their ...

How to Create an Invoice Using Your PayPal Account

Jun 26, 2012 | Categories: Shop Admin Tips

If you have an online business and you give quotes to your customers for custom jobs then you probably use some form of an invoicing system to collect the money from the customers.You have most probably used or are currently using PayPal in some capacity to receive payments for your products or services. PayPal is the most popular payment gateway for online merchants and consumers alike and is used by tens of millions of people to sell products from their websites.Apart from giving you the ability to accept payments from customers via “Add to Cart” or “Buy Now” buttons on your site, PayPal also has functionality which makes it possible for you to create and send invoices directly from your PayPal account.The invoice functionality offered by PayPal is free and is a somewhat overlooked and seemingly little known feature.PayPal’s invoicing feature can be a very useful tool for anybody who wishes to request a payment from someone in a professional manner. This is in contrast to the simpler “Request Money” feature which is also available from your PayPal account and which allows for a basic message requesting payment to be sent to anybody with an email address.As we’ll see in ...

Color Psychology and How it Affects Your Site

May 27, 2012 | Categories: Blogging Tips, Web Design

As a designer, website owner, or marketer it is important to know how color affects your target audience. There are many factors that contributes to how someone perceives color. While some of these factors are uncontrollable as they are mentally controlled, there are some that we can control as designers.Some of the outside factors that can affect color and how people perceive it are:Culture Religion Environment (where the color is being used) Time Period TrendsWhen designing projects such as websites you need to keep the above in mind. Especially keep in mind the culture and religious meaning of color. Colors have different meaning in different cultures and religions, so knowing your target audience can be one of the key factors in the success or failure of your site.Example:The color green is usually tied to safety or money. However in France the color green is associated with criminality, it is also not a good color to use for product packaging.Colors have different meaning in different parts of the world, while some have universal meanings, some do not. Investing a little time and research into your target market can give your site a major boost for very little work.In this article I have provided some incite ...

Fat Free WordPress Social Share Buttons Plugin

May 18, 2012 | Categories: Wordpress Plugin

This is a very simple and FAT FREE share button plugin that adds Google plus one, Facebook and Twitter share buttons to your blog posts.It loads the external JavaScript libraries required for the share buttons asynchronously giving you a slight performance boost on your page loads.Why Use This Plugin (Advantages of this Plugin) There are many, many Social sharing plugins available for WordPress but I needed one that is ultra lightweight and compact so it does not affect the page load time of my site (I don't like to add heavyweight plugin to my sites).When adding a social sharing plugin to the site, many users don't realize that the more sharing options it has, the more JavaScript files it needs to load on your site and that can affect your site's page load time.The following are the main advantages of this plugin:Loads the JavaScript files asynchronously (this helps with the page load time) Loads on single view only (only in your single posts) Only 3 share buttons for the ones that really matters (Google plus, Facebook, Twitter) It shows the share buttons in a compact form (takes up less real estate of your webpage)Obviously this plugin will not full-fill everyone's need but if you have similar requirement(s) ...

How the Latest Google Algorithm Penguin Update will Affect You

May 6, 2012 | Categories: News, Online Marketing, SEO

On April 24th 2012 Matt Cutts, the head of the webspam team at Google announced that there will be another algorithm change to the Google search engine.This latest update has been named “Penguin” and the main objective of the change is to specifically target webspam.To quote Matt’s words:"The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google’s existing quality guidelines. We’ve always targeted webspam in our rankings, and this algorithm represents another improvement in our efforts to reduce webspam and promote high quality content."If your site's search engine traffic went down significantly since that date then your site is most likely being penalized by Google for not following the quality guideline.A lot of you may remember that the last time a high profile and significant algorithm change occurred was around February 2011 and that was given the moniker of “Panda”. Back then the Panda algorithm tweaks were aimed at penalizing sites with poor quality content - especially content associated with content farms like article directories.Although the Penguin update is believed to chiefly be aimed at webspam, a lot of the general rules of thumb regarding what makes a quality website in the eyes of Google still apply.The main ...

What’s New in the Upcoming WordPress 3.4 Release

Apr 26, 2012 | Categories: News, Wordpress

Another official major release of WordPress is due out very soon. WordPress 3.4 is scheduled to be officially unleashed to the public sometime in May 2012.How time flies... it seems almost like yesterday that we were talking about the release of 3.3.As you probably remember, the release of 3.3 contained a lot of major changes and tweaks but in comparison, WordPress 3.4 will be a substantially modest update.Currently WordPress 3.4 beta 3 is available to anyone who wishes to take a sneak peak and perform their own testing, but as for all beta versions, it is highly advised that you play with it on a test site and not slap it directly onto your live sites, because it is after all only a “beta” release.Before we go into the new things you can expect in WP3.4 I wanted to talk about something which you won’t find in the 3.4 release; and that is the new and highly anticipated native WordPress theme called Twenty Twelve.The Twenty Twelve theme was planned to be introduced in 3.4 early in the development stage but has now been pulled from this release and will make its debut in 3.5.So now let’s look at some of ...

Importance of Ethics for Your Online Success

Apr 21, 2012 | Categories: Blogging Tips, SEO, Shop Admin Tips

The internet offers a huge amount of benefits to those who wish to take the time to build a business or offer something creative to share with the rest of the world.The qualities about online businesses which attracts the most people is the flexibility of lifestyle and the prospect of making a very good living because of the huge global exposure and reach which you potentially have by being connected online.Unfortunately due to this wide potential market base there will always be those who will try to exploit this in ways considered to be unethical. I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise because unethical business practices happen all the time and have been happening since man first started to trade in ancient times.The only difference is, now with the interconnectedness of the world wide web and the huge internet technological advancements, the unethical side of business and marketing has been magnified.For instance before the internet really started to take off in the late nineties, people were hardly ever confronted with ads, spam or junk mail about “acai berries” or “penis enlargement”. I mean when was the last time you got a flyer in your regular letterbox about “Adding 3 ...
