TimThumb Proportional Scaling
Moving the crop position used to be the most requested TimThumb feature - but then I added it, and so something else had to step up and replace it.
The next most requested feature is proportional image scaling. To be honest, this feature request had me confused for a while, I just couldn't understand what people were asking for. TimThumb already had the ability to scale images proportionally, simply by supplying a single size parameter. However what, it turns out, ...
Binary Moon Traffic Stats: February
This month is a little late very late I'm afraid. I was in San Francisco at the start of March (for the Game Developers Conference) so wasn't able to write up the statistics as on time as I would have liked.
This month was a strange one, I only wrote 3 posts, however the traffic stayed relatively consistent. With all of the Google jumping around you would have thought that things would move but they weren't too bad.
Elemental Hub – New WordPress Blog
Keeping people updated is really important, however for a theme like Elemental is quite hard. The theme is sold on Pro Theme Design, however I don't want to spam the main blog, so what I decided to do was create a separate website with details about the theme.
Elemental Hub, will hopefully become the number 1 source for Elemental news and updates online. To be honest that's not ...
WordPress Tip: Modifying pluggable.php – How To Disable Emails
Ever heard the saying, 'the more I learn the less I know'? I often feel that way with WordPress! I like to think that my knowledge of WordPress is above average, but I keep learning new things, and they keep on changing it. My most recent 'discovery' is pluggable.php.
Pluggable.php is a php file full of a variety of WordPress functions. I was aware of its existence but until recently I didn't understand it's significance. ...
Give Your Blog Some Loving This Valentines Day
February 14th is Valentines Day; a day when many of us lavish extra time and attention on our loved ones. We treat them extra special, buy them some flowers, maybe do some cooking - basically we show them just how much they mean to us (you're the best Jo!).
However, being the incredibly practical couple we are, Jo and I did most of our Valentines celebrations over the weekend so that we would ...
Binary Moon Traffic Stats: The Beginning
I read a few websites that share their traffic statistics and I find the whole process fascinating. The stats themselves don't really interest me. What does interest me is the analysis that goes with it. Why did this month get more visitors than last month? What was done in January that increased the traffic on that day?
Since I find the posts interesting I thought others might like to see what ...

The Google Code blog has recently announced a new method for modifying code committed to the site. They have created an online code editor that can be used by anyone.
This is fantastic for people who want to contribute to any of the hundreds of open source projects that are online. What this means is that people who have commit privileges can edit and update code online. People who don't ...
A New Secret to Increasing Your Page Views
Do you want to increase the page views on your website? Everyone does right? Well this is something I have been spending a lot of time thinking about, and I recently found out something quite surprising.
In hindsight I probably shouldn't be surprised but I have had a bit of a spike in visitors in the last few weeks and it's because of one set of changes. I have spent months tweaking the content and improving links and all that stuff, ...
