When you follow people on Twitter, you are doing more than just getting their tweets, you’re also sending them a note letting them know that you are interested in what they have to say. Ideally, a good percentage of them, after looking at your profile should feel the same way and return the follow.

Personally, I follow about 80% of the people who follow me. I view Twitter as a tool for conversations and, within reason, if someone is interested in hearing what I have to say, I want to listen to them as well.

However, as with most people, there are certain users I ignore or “snub” depending on your perspective. Though I’m grateful they took an interest in me, I’m not motivated to follow back. So for two weeks I kept track of the users I don’t follow and found the five most common reasons for me I don’t click the button.

Hopefully, this list will help you avoid some of the more common pitfalls when putting your Twitter account out there for the world to see.

5. No Icon

To most, this one should be pretty obvious. The first thing you should change on your Twitter account, if you are serious about it, is your icon. It doesn’t matter if it is your logo, your photo, a cartoon avatar or something else altogether, it should be anything other than the default Twitter “face”.

Even if you are a human being and a very active Twitter user, having the default icon looks unprofessional and makes others, including myself suspicious of your account. It only takes a few moments to add a new avatar and, since it is the first thing most people look at when they see your profile, it could be the most important change you make.

4. No Updates

Everyone has to start somewhere. So if you just started your account and I’m in the first batch of people you follow, that is a huge honor and I treat it as such.

However, leaving your Twitter account blank is poor form. You should at least have one or two tweets up before people start showing up. Also, if you haven’t tweeted in many days or months, not only does the follow seem suspicious, but it makes people much less likely to follow back as it indicates the account is abandoned.

If you wish to stop posting to your Twitter account or don’t want add any tweets of your own, that’s fine, just don’t expect many others to follow it, not that it would matter if they did.

3. The Numbers

Are you following 1000 people but only have 50 followers and 3 updates? If so, you’re probably a spammer or you at least look like one.

Numbers aren’t everything on Twitter but they do tell a tale about what your objective on the site is. If you are following more than a are following you, you’ree aggressively seeking out new people. There is nothing wrong with that until the proportions get completely out of whack. That tells people you are indiscriminately following others for attention and that makes them feel as if they’ve been spammed.

For me, there is no magic formula, but your numbers have to make sense for a human being, not a robot. Numbers are not the sole factor for most people, but if they don’t add up, don’t expect a lot of return follows.

2. Every Tweet is a Link

Everyone loves a few good links, but every Twitter stream needs a bit of variety. Making every single tweet a link to your latest post or, even worse, a promotion of some sort, is not. Or rather, is very annoying, especially when those Twitter users follow large numbers of people.

There are many Twitter accounts that I subscribe to that are nothing but link collections. However, I usually add them from their respective sites, not based upon them following me. If you use your Twitter account as a mini-RSS feed, that’s fine, just don’t expect people to follow back if they are not interested in the topic.

Personally, for most of those kinds of lists, I much prefer to get them in my RSS reader than my Twitter.

1. No @replies

Finally, as I said in the beginning, Twitter is about conversation. However, if you never @reply anyone for any reason, then, for you, Twitter is just a broadcast medium. It shows others that you aren’t reading your incoming tweets and, if you are, that you are not replying.

Though there is nothing wrong with broadcasting over Twitter, as with the link collections, it is important that the person be interested in the content by itself, not the conversation. Where one might be interested in talking with a realtor from Phoenix on Twitter, significantly fewer are going to be interested in a Twitter account about nothing but new housing listings in the region.

If you want to be followed broadly and use Twitter for conversation, it is important to let people know that you are listening and replying, something a healthy amount of @replies does very well.

Bottom Line

Everyone who comes to Twitter is doing so with different goals in mind. To some, Twitter is just a broadcast medium, another way to get links and other content to the masses. To others, it is an RSS reader, a way to get news almost instantly. For those, being followed back may not be as important as it is for others.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to how to use Twitter, with perhaps the sole exception of obvious spammers.

However, for those who are interested in the dialog and need a balance in those who follow them back to make it happen, it is important to put your best foot forward on Twitter, make it clear that you are human and that you have an interest in hearing what others say, that you are active and that you care about your account.

If you do those things, most people, including myself, will be happy to follow you and talk with you. If you don’t, you may be left wondering why nobody is following you back.

If you create WordPress themes then a useful addition to a standard theme is to give the user a simple way to change the logo or header in use, perhaps allow them to change the colour of the background, the width of the site too. These options are designed to save people time but more importantly, to make it easy for non-developers to make a few alterations to their theme without needing to go looking through the code.

So first we need to create an admin page to go into the Appearance menu. To do this we can insert the page into the theme’s functions.php file. We create the page similar to how we created admin pages for our plugin. e.g.

add_action('admin_menu', 'ourtheme_add_theme_pg');

function ourtheme_add_theme_pg() {
    add_theme_page(__('Theme Options'), __('Theme Options'), 'edit_themes', basename(__FILE__), 'ourtheme_functions');
}

This will add a new menu item called Theme Options into our Appearance menu in the admin. Then we need to decide what options we’re going to offer the users. Bear in mind, the more options you offer, the more code is required and the slower the site can become. I’ve seen a site slow down from 0.5 seconds to 15 seconds load time, just due to a badly written theme options page!

So let’s allow the user to change the image file used. In the theme directory you can create an images directory to store a number of different banners (or the user can add more of their own), so we’ll just give them the option of choosing one of these rather than going through the code of how to upload an image to the website.

The Basic Admin Page

Let’s just grab the basic admin page code again to use as our template:

<div class="wrap">
 	<form id="options_form" method="post" action="">
		<h2>< ?php _e('Theme Options'); ?></h2> 

		<div class="ui-sortable">
			<div class="postbox">
				<h3 class="hndle">< ?php _e('Sub Header'); ?></h3>
				<div class="inside">

					** Form or content goes here **

				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</form>
</div>

List Banners Available

On the page we’ll check all of the banners available within the images directory and list them in a select list. We’ll also pre-select the current one used:

<div><label for="topimg">Top Banner</label>
<select id="topimg" name="topimg">
< ?php
$template_dir = get_template_directory();
$default_file = "header.gif";
$allowed_file_ext = array(".gif", ".png", ".jpg", "jpeg");

if (get_option("ourtheme_header")) $default_file = get_option("ourtheme_header");

if ($handle = opendir($template_dir.'/images/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (in_array(substr($file, -4), $allowed_file_ext) {
            echo "<option value='".$file."'".($file == $default_file ? ' selected="selected"' : '').">".$file."\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
?>
</select></div>

Here we open up the images directory within the template directory (found by using the WordPress function get_template_directory()) and then loop through each file found and add it to our select list providing it is an image file (achieved by checking the last 4 characters of each file found against the array of file extensions). This also checks the filename against the current file in use and marks the option as selected if it matches.

This code, along with a submit button is then inserted into our default admin page code above.

Process the Form

To process the form all we need to do is check the submit button has been clicked, if it has then grab the image selected and store it in our options table i.e.

if (isset($_POST['theme_submit'])) :
    update_option('ourtheme_header', $_POST['topimg']);
    echo '<div id="message" class="updated fade"><p><strong>'.__('Options saved.').'</strong></p></div>';
endif;

Final Admin Code

This gives us the final code to go into our functions file of:

add_action('admin_menu', 'ourtheme_add_theme_pg');

function ourtheme_add_theme_pg() {
    add_theme_page(__('Theme Options'), __('Theme Options'), 'edit_themes', basename(__FILE__), 'ourtheme_functions');
}

function ourtheme_functions() {
    if (isset($_POST['theme_submit'])) :
        update_option('ourtheme_header', $_POST['topimg']);
        echo '<div id="message" class="updated fade"><p><strong>'.__('Options saved.').'</strong></p></div>';
    endif;
?>

<div class="wrap">
 	<form id="options_form" method="post" action="">
		<h2>< ?php _e('Theme Options'); ?></h2> 

		<div class="ui-sortable">
			<div class="postbox">
				<h3 class="hndle">< ?php _e('Sub Header'); ?></h3>
				<div class="inside">

					<div><label for="topimg">Top Banner</label> <select id="topimg" name="topimg">
						< ?php
						$template_dir = get_template_directory();
						$default_file = "header.gif";
						$allowed_file_ext = array(".gif", ".png", ".jpg", "jpeg");

						if (get_option("ourtheme_header")) $default_file = get_option("ourtheme_header");

						if ($handle = opendir($template_dir.'/images/')) {
						    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
						        if (in_array(substr($file, -4), $allowed_file_ext) {
						            echo "<option value='".$file."'".($file == $default_file ? ' selected="selected"' : '').">".$file."\n";
						        }
						    }
						    closedir($handle);
						}
						?>
					</select></div>

				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</form>
</div>

< ?php } ?>

Front End Edits

Finally all we need to do is set up the code for the header.php file to check which banner to display. So wherever the banner is displayed we just need to take the default image filename out and use the following PHP code:

<img src="< ?php bloginfo('template_url');
$headerimg = "header.gif";
if (get_option("ourtheme_header")) $headerimg = get_option("ourtheme_header");

echo "/images/".$headerimg." />" alt="Top Banner" />

Alternatively, if your banner is using the image replacement technique, then you’re best off adding an action to add the CSS style needed to the wp_head() function in your function.php theme file e.g.

add_action("wp_head", "ourtheme_addheader");

function ourtheme_addheader() {
    if (get_option("ourtheme_header")) :
        echo '<style type="text/css">#header { background: url('.get_option("ourtheme_header").'); </style>';
    endif;
}

This will then insert the style to override the default styling set up in your CSS stylesheet.

This is just a simple example of creating an options page for your theme, but the logic is the same for virtually all the options you could want to offer. Just create the various form elements to allow the user to make their changes, and save the selections and information in the options table using unique option names.

Pixelpipe allows you to distribute media such as photos, text, videos and more to over 75 social networks, blogs and other social sites. It provide numerous ways for users to share their media such as via mobile, desktop or even a Firefox addon. In my opinion, Pixelpipe is a mashup of Ping.fm, Pikchur, and TubeMogul since it lets you do everything from these sites and more from one central location.

View Recent Uploads

Here you can view all of the items that you’ve recently sent. For each item you’ll see which site it was sent to along with the date and time. For some sites, it will even provide a link to the actual item on that site. If an upload fails, you even have the option to retry or cancel all from this one location.

View and Add Pipes

From the “My Pipes” tab you can see all of the destinations (accounts) you have set up. You can then change the settings and also disable any one as default. Some accounts may have slightly different settings from others depending on what you can do with the service. Though it can be a tedious task, it’s really important that you go through and set up each account completely to avoid failed uploads.

When adding a new pipe you can choose from one of the 78 listed sites or add a blog by address. A nice thing about setting up your pipes is that you can choose which ones are posted to by default and also set a routing tag for each one. Routing tags are basically like categories that you can add to your pipes. When using that routing tag, your items will only be posted to all your accounts under that tag.

Post Media

Pixelpipe has numerous ways to upload and share your media which include: the website quick post method, email/mms, an iPhone application, Nokia share online, an Android applications, numerous Windows, Mac OS X tools and even Linux tools; you can view the full list here. When using the quick post method through the website, you can choose to upload one file or multiple files at once. You then enter a title, caption, tags, and then select which sites you’d like it to post to. You can even use the “status/microblog” quick post method to set your status to numerous sites – pretty much like Ping.fm. Lastly you can send a blog post to numerous blogs at once as well.

Customization

One of the best things I like about Pixelpipe is that you can customize the page that your uploaded media appears on. Pixelpipe allows to customize the page title and background image and colors. The only thing is that it doesn’t provide a color picker, so you will need to use your own source for that. As you can see here, I’ve changed the page background from the default white to a slate blue, added a default page title (“Uploaded by ChaCha Fance”) and changed the color of that title.

Considering everything Pixelpipe can do, it’s definitely great competition for for sites like Hellotxt, Moby Picture, Ping.fm, Pikchur, etc. Why use all these individual sites when you can just use one – Pixelpipe. Plus, I don’t know too many of these that will allow you to add emails to send media too. This is great when sharing pictures with friends or family members who may not use social media sites.

Are you currently using Pixelpipe? If so, what do you think about it? If not, do you plan on trying it?

Whether you want a website for business or pleasure, you might be feeling a little bit reluctant to get into the world of webdesign. After all, isn’t this something that people get paid hundreds of dollars to do? While that is true, this doesn’t mean that you will come up short when it comes to a website.

Think of website design as singing. There’s a small amount of people who excel at the occupation, a lot more who earn some money doing it, and many who just do it for their own reasons. It is fairly easy to become proficient enough to make your own website.

The first requirement is to get a host, who will be giving you the service that will sell you a domain name and help you in keeping your site up on their servers. You’ll find that these hosts are fairly inexpensive and that they will also likely provide you with some basic website templates to work with.

Some WYSIWIG programs include Adobe GoLive, Dreamweaver and FrontPage, and you’ll find that they are all similarly useful. You’ll be able to type text directly into the page itself, and you’ll find that there are many different things that you can do.

A basic working knowledge in word processing can be very helpful, but you could get by without it. Before you know it, you will be creating your own pages. To avoid dead links, be certain to click on each one as you create them, then you can be confident they are valid.

Once your webpage is designed, all that remains is to transfer them (using FTP) to the webserver, making them accessible to anyone online. With this you do not need to know the code, or worry about updating with a difficult interface.

Designing webpages has never been easier, so take advantage of programs like this to put your page up!

Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no computer required. Kindle supports wall charging via the included Kindle power adapter, and charging from your computer via the included USB 2. Kindle fully charges in approximately 4 hours.

Books take less than a minute to download, and their prices vary; new releases and New York Times bestsellers cost $10.

The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. This is a lot easier to read than a lot of books are these days. If you are out of wireless coverage, such as traveling overseas, you can download books to your computer from Your Media Library and transfer via USB to your Kindle. Think of it as a bookshelf in your attic even though you don’t see it, you know your books are there.

Unlike WiFi, Kindle utilizes the same high-speed data network (EVDO) as advanced cell phones so you never have to locate a hotspot. Wireless Access with Whispernet&8482Whispernet utilizes Amazon’s optimized technology plus Sprint’s national high-speed (EVDO) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, download, and read content on the go. The Kindle hardware devices use an electronic paper display and download content over Amazon Whispernet using the Sprint EVDO network.

The Sony PRS-505 ($300) is the sleeker of the two devices, the Kindle is the more revolutionary in that it has a free built-in wireless connection that allows you to tap into Amazon’s vast online bookstore from just about anywhere you can access Sprint’s EVDO cellular data network.

There is also still no Wi-Fi access, but, as with the first version, with its 3G cellular radio (supplied by Sprint) Kindle owners can purchase any of Amazons 230,000 titles anywhere where there is a signal from Sprint’s data network. Since its connected to Sprints wireless network, you can use it almost anywhere in the U.S..

Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. I have ordered multiple Kindles to use in our family. Kindle remains by far the best dedicated ebook reader out there, and based on how often they sold out of original Kindles, Amazon will sell as many of these as they can make. You can also synchronize data between Kindles, and with the Whispersync system, you’ll likely soon be able to push books between mobile devices, like phones and maybe even netbooks.
