I am very pleased to announce that proper Credit Card and Laser transactions using Realex processing can now be taken on WordPress powered sites via the Shopping Cart plugin from Tribulant. I think this is a significant development considering both the recent popularity of WordPress as a full website content management and E-commerce system and the position Realex occupies as one of the world’s most popular credit card processors. I am also glad to have personally initiated, advised and funded the integration.

Recent Reverb Studios Developments, New Services and News.
Advertising in Leitrim
I’m running a new site www.AboutLeitrim.ie which aims to collect and display all kinds of Leitrim News from Property and Jobs to Entertainment and Local Services information. I hope that this site will become a great resource for anyone interested in Leitrim, living and doing business in it, or maybe considering a move here. It’s well on the way to achieving this.

Custom Web Site and WordPress Theme Design
After a year or 2 of installing WordPress for clients and using initially free, now commercial themes, I’ve now acquired the ability (after extensive messing around!) to design customised layouts and themes for this content management system. Using ready made templates will still be much more efficient and cheaper to the client of course but for people who require highly customised web design while keeping an easy to use CMS, and can afford it, I can now design a look and feel based on full design specs provided by the client.
Prices dependent on specs.
New Site Design for Reverb Studios
I’m sad to say goodbye to my iPhone styled site which has lasted longer than a lot of other versions I’ve had in recent times. However every site needs a face lift every now and then as content becomes old or you find new ways of expressing yourself or new technology becomes available. My old site was a little slow to load and had a little too much going on content and link wise so I decided it was time to freshen things up and simplify a bit. Continue reading New Site Design for Reverb Studios
New Membership and Content Management Services
I’ve learned a few new tricks lately! For those of you with a wordpress powered site I can now setup a Registration and Membership section with which you can offer “Members Only” sections with free/premium content available only to those who submit their details to you. Another handy tool for client database generation!
I can also now apply content management to existing static sites enabling site owners to change textual content and upload images as well as change things like Meta keywords and descriptions for each page. This is a quicker and less expensive option than rebuilding your site with a full featured CMS.
Contact me for more details.
Reverb Studios TV
I’d like to announce my new site www.ReverbStudios.tv which is a Video Blog featuring IT, Tech and Leitrim related videos and screen tutorials. There are also a selection of interesting videos from Youtube. If anyone has a relevant video of less than about 10 mins in length that they’d like on the site then let me know! Reverb Studios TV is the first in a number of new websites I have planned under the Reverb studios brand. Others planned include an Online Course website, a Social Networking site and an Online Shop open to all sellers.
My Blogging Stats
Further proof that Blogging works to drive traffic to your site! The first dip on the 12th week of April was about when I switched hosting..the second is this week so still counting!

FREE Google Analytics Setup
I’d just like to announce that I’m now including free Google Analytics installation on all sites that I build for clients. Monthly stats reports will be sent to the client’s primary email address.
FREE PC Support Name Change
I’ve decided to change the address of my free PC support blog from the long winded http://www.pcsolutionsireland.com to www.pcproblems.ie in the hope that it will be better suited to the search engines. Both domains will work for a while untill I decide whether to keep the old one or not.
Living and Working in Leitrim
Myself and my partner moved to Leitrim from Dublin (Kimmage & Tallaght) in August 2003. She used to live there briefly as a child and her family have been coming boating on the Shannon for years. We were helping her father find a house to buy and we spotted a very nice one for him lakeside in Jamestown, a cute little village 2/3 miles from the epicenter of Leitrim, Carrick-on-Shannon.
