Support this Site!

You may have noticed that there's very little third-party advertising on this site. I'd like to keep it that way. Here's how you can help:

  • Buy my books. They're available at great prices on Amazon.com.
  • Check out my training videos on Lynda.com. It's a great source for "all you can eat" training.
  • Donate a few dollars. It'll help cover my hosting costs and give you a chance to tell me what you want to see covered here.
  • Comment on blog posts. You can help get a discussion going that can benefit others, making the site more valuable for everyone.

WP-Print

I add a post printing function to the site.

One of the things that bugs me about WordPress is that when you print a page, the resulting printout does not have the same formatting as the page in your Web browser. Instead, styles are pretty much stripped out and sidebar components are added to the end (at least in my case) to the printout. This makes the printout longer than it needs to be.

Enter Lester Chan’s WP-Print plugin. It enables you to add a Print link to your posts. When a user clicks the link, the plugin creates a simply formatted page with the page contents and URLs. You can then click a link on that page to print the formatted page.

It’s a much nicer solution than just printing from WordPress.
