Cath Crowley’s new site has just been completed using WordPress, the All-in-one-SEO plugin pack, and a contact form plugin. It is the first one to be released sporting the latest in graphical design that Zack Design can offer thanks to a partnership with Chocolate Chip Multimedia.

In Tune for Life
A VCE Music Resource site (Australian), this site is built in WordPress and also uses the Lussumo Vanilla forum.
Plugins used include WP-dTree, my Quick Shop plugin, the Who Sees Ads plugin, the Event Calendar, and the WP-GBCF contact form among others. An ad space was created for the ad plugin in the top of pages and at the bottom of posts.
Also, a special AJAX catalogue was created using the Scriptaculous and Prototype Javascript libraries included in WordPress.
QuickShop was updated to version 1.1 for this project. It now supports Australian Paypal and displays product price, as well as images for removal and checkout. The tags have been changed too to allow for these new types.
Lastly, an already-made theme was used (Scorpio) and then significantly modified to fit the site.
Flying Pickle – Business Directory, Site, Theme, and Plugins
The client for Zetaprints.com approached me for a news site based upon WordPress. Using WordPress 2.3 I developed a solution for a community-based news site where users submit news and events.
Many plugins were used: Akismet, Cimy User Extra Fields, CountPosts, Event Calendar, Get Author Profile, iMax Width, Restrict Author Access to Edit Comments, Role Manager, Search Everything, Subscribe2, VoteforPost. Sometimes I had to modify them to provide the client with exactly what he required, and I also modified the WordPress Admin interface to hide some items with CSS for Authors as it was a little too confusing otherwise.
Multiple loops were used to display posts on the front page and a business directory was created and integrated into the theme to allow people to display their businesses and contact details attached to their profile. Also, a custom query was created to show three highly commented posts over the past few days.
MoneyPoint Live
A client required a Joomla news site modeled after SitePoint.com. I installed iJoomla News, and the news module among others, and modified the JA Teline theme for MoneyPoint Live.
I’ve also modified the login component so that logging in at the forum will drop users back at the forum rather than at the front page.
