In addition, to fly-fishing camps for both Wild Rainbow Trout and Summer Steelhead Renton’s River Adventures offers guided steelhead fly-fishing trips on the Deschutes River, North Umpqua River and complete expeditions to Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island.

The Renton’s wanted a clean, formal, design to contrast their rugged earthy branding—evident in their new logo. We designed and development a custom WordPress theme to do just that. To enhance accessibility and new market penetration a custom media port that resizes for tablet and smartphone viewing was developed using advance web technology including HTML5 and CSS3.

Other features include: WordPress plugins that allow for instantaneous Google analytics reporting, SEO input and automatic status postings to their Facebook page.

Central Oregon Community College (COCC) wanted a direct mail campaign to highlight four core programs. The programs were directed toward new students so the self-mailers included an info graphic detailing the possible program paths and a mini video CD. The info graphic was designed to be repurposed for COCC’s web site.

Campaign mailers include:

White House officials said in a blog post that it would not support pending legislation that “reducesfreedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk” or undermines the global Internet, cautioning the measure could discourage innovation and startup businesses. More…

Templates for Simple Portfolio

If you want to add category and client templates to the WordPress plugin Simple Portfolio (by Patrick Brouwer) make sure you use the custom Taxonomies created by the plugin.

To find the two taxonomies that you’ll need go to the plugin’s folder and open simple-portfolio.php and search for “taxonomy”. You’ll fine the two that you’ll need:

  • portfolio-clients
  • portfolio-categories

In order to get my new template files to work in my theme I named my files this:

  • taxonomy-portfolio-categories.php
  • taxonomy-portfolio-clients.php

Hope this helps.

WordPress: Comments RSS Feed Not Working?

For new WordPress users, my short Goggle search did not find anything on this but this is what’s going on.

If you click on “Comments RSS” and you get a page saying “…could not update this feed because the source file is no longer available.” don’t worry.

I just means you don’t have any current comments attached to any of your post. Once someone comments on a post (and you approve the comment) you’ll see your Comments RSS feed.

Of course if you don’t delete the standard “Hello World” post and it’s comment you’ll never come across this problem.

Hope this helps.
