Introducing the Simple URLs Plugin for WordPress

Nathan Rice on September 24, 2010

How many times have you wanted to know exactly how many times that link you put in your blog post has been clicked? Have you ever wanted to shorten those long, ugly affiliate URLs? Well, if you answered “Yes” to either of those questions, Simple URLs is the plugin for you.

Simple URLs is a URL management system allowing you to create, edit and track any URL you want.

Now, I know there are URL shortening services out there that will do this for you, but when you’re placing links on your OWN site, it’s a bit unprofessional to link off to a URL shortening service. With Simple URLs, the links you publish will be from your own domain.

StudioPress Affiliate Program Switching to ShareASale

Brian Gardner on August 30, 2010

We’re pleased to announce that StudioPress is switching our Affiliate Program to the ShareASale network. The ShareASale network has been around since 2000 and received the A Best Web award for the Best Affiliate Network Award numerous times, along with other top performance awards.

Why Is StudioPress Switching?

After speaking with our top Affiliates we better understand your needs and know that we really needed a network that provided better reporting, metrics information, centralized promotional tools and some other capabilities like Two-Tier Commissions. Another great benefit is the ability to create custom links – Affiliates can now link to the Genesis child theme demo sites and get credit for any sale that occurs.

How Much Can I Earn?

You will earn 35% of a customers purchase made through your referrer link.

The Genesis Theme Framework Launches

Brian Gardner on February 1, 2010

We are very happy to announce the release of the Genesis Theme Framework. This has been an ongoing development project for over two months and we’re ready for liftoff! In addition, we’re also pleased to announce that two child themes are available – the Executive child theme and the Mocha child theme.

About the Genesis Theme Framework

The Genesis Theme Framework is built on a simple vanilla blog-type parent theme, and can be extended with the use of child themes. Each child theme will come with it’s own home file, which will make extending the parent theme very easy. It will also have it’s own functions file as well. In addition, we’ve built some custom widgets that will make adding content much easier on the User.

Here’s a List of Custom Widgets We’ve Built

  • My Tweets – displays an unordered list of your latest Tweets (view widget)
  • User Profile – displays the Gravatar of a user, as well as their biography and a link to an about page (view widget)
  • eNews & Updates – displays an opt-in box for users to sign up for delivery of your posts by email (view widget)
  • Featured Posts – displays post excerpts and a thumbnail to be used in a homepage featured section (view widget)
  • Featured Page – displays page excerpts and a thumbnail to be used in a homepage featured section (view widget)

The Genesis Theme Framework Marketplace

We are also in the preliminary stages of the Genesis Theme Framework marketplace, which will allow designers to develop/sell child themes here on StudioPress. You can take a look to see what a featured Designer page will look like. There are two ways to be involved in the Genesis Theme Marketplace:

Introducing the Genesis Framework

Brian Gardner on January 4, 2010

I am very happy to announce Genesis – an advanced theme framework for WordPress. This project has been in development for quite a while, and was something that has been on my mind for well over a year. We’re closing in on a beta version, something that we are very excited about!

Revolution Rebrands as StudioPress

Brian Gardner on February 17, 2009

StudioPressAbout a month ago I introduced my newly formed design/consulting company StudioPress.

For a number of reasons, the Revolution themes will be moving over to the StudioPress site – and I am asking you to trust that this has been thought out very carefully. There are a number of things that I’d like to work on, and in order for me to move forward with them and to do what I want, it makes a lot of sense to place all of that onto one site. (ie WordPress themes, theme support, design services and other internet consulting)

Here’s an excerpt from the post that I mentioned:
