How to Easily Import or Export any of Your WordPress Database Content (Video Tutorial)

How can I export all my members details from the WordPress membership plugin to a Spread sheet? How can I export all my affiliates details? How can I export my customer details in a certain way? and so on...WordPress uses MySQL database and one of the benefits of MySQL database is that you can easily import or export data to and from any MySQL database table.

CSS Bugging You? Fire Those Bugs!
Cascading Style Sheets; Cascading Style S***; Convulsions, Sleeplessness & Spaghetti -- whatever you choose to call it, figuring out what's going on with your CSS can be one of the most maddening tasks a site administrator can face.  In this article, you will learn about a tool that will lessen your frustrations.In the beginning, when web pages contained only static content, HTML coding was used to define both the content and the way (style) in which information was presented to users.  Formatting, or markup codes, affecting the way content was styled was easy to debug; because the codes were usually located in proximity to the content being affected, and it was not possible for the formatting of one display element to affect another.With the advent of dynamic web pages, and content management systems such as WordPress, it became necessary to separate the styling of display elements from the actual content.   By defining element styles separately from the content, it became easier to give users a consistent presentation experience, independent of the actual content.  The styling for paragraphs, table, bullets and headers could be defined once in a style sheet, and then applied consistently throughout the content.The CSS markup language ...

In 2006, the first lightbox script was released by Lokesh Dhakar and has become a staple for websites and blogs alike. Though they’re mainly used for larger items, even companies like Facebook have adopted lightboxes to display photos in an easy-to-see, easy-to-scroll manner. The original javascript had plenty of good qualities, but it became widely adopted when web developers started making their own lightbox applications.The original Lightbox has not been lost in newer formats. In contrast, lightboxes have been improved and now incorporate features and functions that enhance the overall quality and user-experience. It is hard to rank the best scripts in any specific order because they all have been crafted extremely well. Choosing the best script for your site will really come down to coding preferences. Fancybox Fancybox has taken a pretty direct approach and is an upgrade from pure javascript to jQuery. The overall appearance of this lightbox is like the name says, fancy. The interface is clean and displays images and associated caption text nicely. In addition to looking nice, this script displays HTML elements, SWF movies, iframes and AJAX ...
