I have switched to many web hosting providers in a span of less than a year now and during those switches, I have noticed that only a few web hosts are accepting PayPal payments. So far I’ve only seen Dreamhost, Hostmonster and Bluehost accepting subscriptions payments through PayPal. Others are either requiring a VISA, MASTERCARD and AMERICAN Express among others. In short, it’s still necessary that one owns at least one credit to have their transactions and orders completed. A credit card has been now necessity if you want to have your online presence.

Having a credit is not easy if you’re employed or at least have a good credit history. And if my memory serves me right, having no credit history is pretty much the same with having bad credit history when applying for credit cards or any other type of financial applications (e.g. loans, mortgage, insurance, etc.). Some online credit card companies are offering those so-called unsecured credit in financial offers such as Small Business Loans.

Anyway, when you want to have your online presence, you should at least have one credit card ready, avoid overspending and pay on time to avoid bad credit history.

How to make your theme Wordpress 2.5 ready?

1. Create a copy of your single pages and re-name it image.php.

2. Open the image.php file and look for something similar to

<?php the_content(’Read the rest of this entry…’); ?>
*This is supposed to be the code for the post content

<?php wp_link_pages(array(’before’ => ‘<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
*While this is supposed to be the Pages Navigation Links

3. Now you will replace both lines of codes with

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $post->ID, ‘large’ ); ?>

<div class=”caption”><?php if ( !empty($post->post_excerpt) ) the_excerpt(); // this is the “caption” ?></div>

<?php previous_image_link() ?><?php next_image_link() ?>
*This is the code for the thumbnail navigation

4. Style them if deemed necessary.

5. Upload your image.php file in your theme folder and experience the magic of Wordpress 2.5 Gallery.

If this isn’t something to be raving about, I don’t know what else is.

Truth or not, it’s for each individual to decide. Opinions are by nature subjective.

A lot of my friends are asking how I learn web development from simple and static web pages to complex dynamic pages which are capable of user interactivity. Each time I got such questions, my response are all the same – I search the internet for some basic html lessons, looked at some interesting web sites and applied trial and error to create for myself a similar looking web page. Then I searched and applied and continued the processes and studied how to simplify complex and lengthy html codes by using dynamic scripts and other web development languages and techniques. The process has been quite long since I only started learning those things when I’m already working on a normal job so the study times were not as adequate as what I had when I was still a mediocre student.

Nowadays, in the age of modern technology, learning technical subjects (as web development) has never been so accessible. There already are hundreds of schools online which provides open learning where you could acquire technical studies without the hassle of going to schools everyday. They provide the curriculum, time frame for each course so you never need to worry about procrastination which is a huge pitfall when you’re self-studying subjects.

Kaplan Open Learning offers courses on Web Design and Business Degree Online among others.

However, aside from the main site and pages, they also run a design blog which showcases simple tutorials on web development wherein they have featured articles on control of user accounts and membership on spyware community.

I really need to use Photoshop for adjusting the contrasts of my photos, placing the watermarks and resizing. In short, I need to run my action scripts before I upload them for my blogs’ use. I thought it was because my original installer was corrupted so I tried to download a new one from adobe.com. However, each time I click the download button, the window will close too so I could not proceed to download a copy.

But that is not what this post is all about. Sorry for too much introduction.

When I was trying to download a copy of Photoshop CS3, I noticed a new inclusion to the Adobe Photoshop family – Adobe Photoshop Express™, Beta.
