All Day I Dream About Photography

Looking for design help

I’ve been struggling for more than a year to find someone decent to redesign adidap for me. I was never able to seek a professional and reputable wordpress design company for obvious budget constraints, but I found myself spending money and being scammed by 4 “cheap” designers that stop answering emails as soon as they get their part of the money.

What I need

I am not here to bother you guys with my problems but to seek help, I need someone to

1. Upgrade ADIDAP from wordpress 2.1 to 2.5 importing to tags from UTW to the native tagging system of wordpress

Project and contest updates

This is just a quick note to let you all know that I am stuck with a VERY bad internet connection until Tuesday.
So I will not be able to close the “Send me a postcard” project nor the “SMUGMUG pro account giveaway” so you still have time to participate in both.

By the way I still haven’t received any answered on the last question I asked for the SmugMug account giveaway.

And 12 hours later…

Just a quick note to let you know that we are back after almost 12 hours of down time
This is the longest crash in ADIDAP’s history. It is not due to traffic peak because we have been featured on Digital Photography School”¹” the reasons are still mysterious”²” all I know is that I have 2 dedicated servers with my hosting company and both went down ! I am still waiting for clarifications from them.

Sorry for that guys !!!

Zookoda is dead long live FeedBurner !

Ok I saw it happening but I just ignored it, Zookoda is dead it is official !

Zookoda is the service I’ve been using here at adidap to deliver the newsletter by emails ever since August 2006, and now I am compelled to move to another provider.

Since FeedBurner was recently bought by Google, I am already using it for RSS, and it is free, I have decided to move adidap mailing list there.

Feedburner problem is that they do not allow me to import the current 450 subscribers list (what a shame) so I just have to build that list over again.

ADIDAP goes to private ad sales

After trying almost everything I could think of to make good use of the space in the sidebar,after trying and failing with many ad networks, after being scammed by ShoppingAds.com. I have finally decided to give private ad sales a try.

Adidap here, Adidap there, Adidap everywhere …

I am more into a rambling mood today so I will tell you a bit about what is happening at Adidap.

1. We got accepted at rssHugger: rssHugger is something like a paid technorati, this cost is not expensive ($20 for 10 years) and if you blog about it you get if for free.
To insure a high quality blogs and keep their system spam free, they review each submission manually, I applied to that a few days ago and I got the green light.

ADIDAP offering now FULL RSS feeds

I finally found the plugin I was looking for, Full Text Feed is a wordpress plugin that overcomes a “bug”/”feature” in wordpress starting version 2.1 that was stopping me from providing you will Full RSS feeds.

I would like to thank all those who email me asking for the RSS feed not to be cut, and I apologize for the time it took to make it happen. Starting from today ADIDAP RSS feed won’t be “censored” anymore
