Some you may have noticed the drastically different look we have around here. This has been thanks to the brilliant work of Tung do (aka Small Potato). Tung has recently come back from an extended break from web design and offered to redesign PixoPoint.com. We were stoked when he sent us two PSD’s with the design you see here now. After some quick coding we turned them into a new WordPress theme and the result is before you right now (unless you are reading this via RSS).
If you would like a custom WordPress theme designed by Tung Do and coded here at PixoPoint, please get in touch via our contact form for more information.
Our new site design after Tung Do (aka Small Potato) kindly redesigned it for us.
WordPress is known for it’s “five minute installation”. However here at PixoPoint we’re found it takes me a lot longer than five minutes due to thelaborious task of uploading stacks of files via FTP on slow internet connections.
To improve the upload time, we are releasing a very simple script which allows you to upload the raw wordpress.zip file (as downloaded from WordPress.org) along with the script, and when the script is run it is able to decompress the zip file directly onto your webhost. The raw zip file is significantly faster to upload than all of the files on their own.
Download PixoPoint Unzipper for WordPress
We understand that another company is developing a product which will allow you to simply upload a script which when executed will download WordPress for you, provide an easy to use interface for writing your wp-config.php file, delete itself then run the regular WordPress installer. We will post a link back to that product on this blog post when it is available. In the mean time, our simpler tool will hopefully be of use to some of you.
