International Shipping for Foreign Buyers

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Previously, it was difficult to know if an Amazon Marketplace seller ships internationally. We just didn’t have that information to tell you at TicTap.

That has changed.

From today, we make clear which sellers ship internationally. If you don’t see the ‘Ships internationally’ phrase for a seller’s description, that means it doesn’t.

Expedited shipping information is […]

WordPress Plugin Fix for Plugin Hooks

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

We’ve just release version 2.1 of the WordPress Plugin for TicTap Contextual Ads.

It contains code to check if wp_footer() and wp_head() were declared in the WordPress templates, and alerts you if it cannot find them.

In the previous post, we mentioned this problem of plugin hooks that theme creators leave out.

Missing Plugin Hooks in WordPress Themes

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

One of the really nice things about WordPress is that anyone can create WordPress themes.

But be careful, because you could break WordPress plugins if you miss out on a couple of important things.

One of them is missing template plugin hooks.

Many plugins depend on wp_head(), wp_footer(), wp_meta() and comment_form() being called in the templates. If […]

New Name for TicTap Contextual Ads Beta Site

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Damon and I felt that since TCA had to come out of beta some time in the future, it didn’t make sense to keep calling that page TCA Beta.

So after hours of brainstorming, we’ve decide to change it to the much more obvious and understandable TicTap Contextual Ads Labs.

Ta-da!!!
