JQuery CSS Reset Plugin

• summary: plugin resets css styles of given element
• version: 0.1
• date: 09.07.22

If you’re coding a widget which is not included in the page via an iframe you have to cope with a lot of different styles that are given by the css of the page. Using a lot of inline styles for your elements is most of the time not an option, because you need some easy injectable html-code for the users. So styling your widget with JavaScript is the best option. And therefore you will maybe like to reset the css for your elements. And that’s exactly what the beResetCSS-JQuery-Plugin does.

$(document).ready(function(){
	$("YourElement").beResetCSS();

The reset-CSS is based on the suggestion from meyerweb.

Alternatives

With jqzoom there is a well known alternative to BeZoom, I used some time. But jqzoom in my opinion is much to complicated and confusing. Changing something in this 1000 liner isn’t fun at all. After all jqzoom seems to be a mashup of prototip and lightview.

So I created BeZoom to suit my personal needs. It’s light and it’s easy to use.

If you are using BeZoom let me know it and I’m going to develop some more features for it. If you find any bugs I’d appreciate a short comment so I can fix it.

Dynamic SEO Title Wordpress Plugin

The Dynamic SEO Title Wordpress Plugin is an effective yet easy way to boost your sites search engine rankings.

The plugin is based on the idea of Dynamic SEO.

What does the Dynamic SEO Title Wordpress Plugin plugin do?

The plugin automatically optimizes your site over time based on actual values and without guessing. It helps you to get your site as close to perfectly optimized as possible without knowing and having a final result. It adjusts your pages if required.

If there is one on-page important ranking factor that every SEO expert accepts as true, it’s the title-tag of your pages. And it’s not only a ranking factor, it’s even a factor for your click through rates in the serps, because it also appears in the listing.

When you start optimizing your page you start with keyword research. Let’s take a golfing site as the example: golfing-equipment.net What’s the best title for your page about golf clubs? Is it golf clubs, golf club, golfing clubs, golfing club or even golfing equipment? You can use a keyword tool like google.com/insights/search to find out which qould bring in most traffic. But a) this values are estimated and even more important b) you don’t know if you can rank for this phrase and where you currently would get most visitors from.
This is where the Dynamic SEO Title Wordpress Plugin comes into play: You create the page with the “best” title and the plugin adjusts it over time based on the visitors and their search queries.

Installation

1. 1. Download the plugin
2. 2. Extract and copy the dynamicseotitle.php file into your wp-content/plugins/ folder
3. 3. Activate the plugin in your Admin area
4. 4. You need something like the following code in your header:

   <title><?php wp_title(''); ?><?php if(wp_title('', false)) { ?> |
   <?php } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

   The important part is the wp_title, which is used as hook for the plugin.

5. 5. DONE!

Download

Current version: 0.1
