			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_517" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 540px"><img class="size-full wp-image-517" title="The Wedding WordPress Theme" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/the-wedding.jpg" alt="The Wedding WordPress Theme" width="530" height="401" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Wedding WordPress Theme</p></div>
<p>So you just engaged and you&#8217;re planning to get married in a few months. You and your couple then made all the planning and preparation and suddenly you remember &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a wedding site, yet!&#8221;.  Creating a wedding site is pretty time consuming, you probably have the skill to design and code but it still going to take ages to complete it.</p>
<p>Solution? Why not use WordPress and <a href="http://www.geektips.net/The-Wedding">The Wedding</a> theme to power your wedding site. WordPress has been known for it&#8217;s easy-to-use interface let alone it&#8217;s pretty easy to setup and quite flexible. The Wedding will also be the perfect companion because it&#8217;s a very powerful yet easy to use <a href="http://www.themewarrior.com/2012/01/the-wedding/">wedding WordPress theme</a>.</p>
<p>The Wedding theme is a commercial theme so you need to buy it first before you can use and install it. There are 2 package available to choose from, the Standard Package ($39) and Developer Package ($69). The only difference between those packages is when you buy the Developer Package you&#8217;ll also get the Photoshop layered-file.</p>
<h2>Installing the theme</h2>
<p>The process of installing the theme is pretty straight forward, you just need to upload the the-wedding.zip theme file from your WordPress Dashboard or you can just simply copy the extracted the-wedding.zip file into your <code>/wp-content/themes/ directory</code>.</p>
<h2>It&#8217;s time to configure things</h2>
<h3>Wedding date &amp; time</h3>
<p>Once the theme is installed it&#8217;s time for us to configure some settings in from The Wedding theme options panel, in this theme the options panel is called WarriorPanel. Login to your WordPress Dashboard then click on the &#8220;The Wedding&#8221; menu on the left hand side. You&#8217;ll then be directed to the theme options page for this theme.</p>
<p>Because this theme comes with a countdown and count-up feature that will count the time until your wedding ceremony and how long have you been married since, you need to define your wedding date and time. Click on the General tab and then on the &#8220;Wedding Time&#8221; section fill our your wedding date and in the corresponding fields.</p>
<div id="attachment_514" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 540px"><img class="size-full wp-image-514" title="Configuring your wedding date &amp; time" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/the-wedding-wedding-time.jpg" alt="Configuring your wedding date &amp; time" width="530" height="315" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Configuring your wedding date &amp; time</p></div>
<h3>Featured Slider / Slideshow</h3>
<p>Next step in our list is to click the &#8220;Homepage&#8221; tab and make sure that the featured slider option is turn ON and don&#8217;t forget to check out other options for the featured slider as well.</p>
<div id="attachment_515" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 540px"><img class="size-full wp-image-515" title="Featured Slider Options" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/the-wedding-slider.jpg" alt="Featured Slider Options" width="530" height="318" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Featured Slider Options</p></div>
<h3>About you and your couple</h3>
<p>Still on the same page you can fill out the fields &#8220;The Groom&#8221; and &#8220;The Bride&#8221; section where you can upload your picture, write your name &amp; your couple&#8217;s name a long with your short description about your self.</p>
<div id="attachment_516" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 540px"><img class="size-full wp-image-516" title="Groom &amp; Bride Options" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/the-wedding-about.jpg" alt="Groom &amp; Bride Options" width="530" height="527" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Groom &amp; Bride Options</p></div>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much all the options you need to configure to make your wedding site up and running. After this configuration process you might want to start fill your site with contents such as slideshows, image gallery or blog post. Lucky for you The Wedding WordPress theme comes with all that features.</p>
<p>You can add slideshow by clicking on the Slideshow -&gt; Add New menu on the left hand side, don&#8217;t forget to add title to the slideshow item and set the featured image, recommended image size for slideshow is 860&#215;540 pixel or higher.</p>
<p>You can create image gallery by simply doing the exact same thing like you just did with the slideshow. To view your image gallery collection all you need to do is browse to <code>http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery/</code>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_510" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 530px"><img class="size-full wp-image-510" title="Create iPhone Wallpaper" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/create-iphone-wallpaper.jpg" alt="Create iPhone Wallpaper" width="520" height="380" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Create iPhone Wallpaper</p></div>
<p>Having the same &#8216;rain&#8217; wallpaper as everyone else is a bit boring. Use the new found freedom Apple has given you to make your phone interesting. Now you may be thinking, &#8220;But I don&#8217;t know where to find the perfect wallpapers&#8221;. Now, this article isn’t just looking at the wallpapers.</p>
<p>We are also looking at the various applications that can help you make a nice wallpaper.<span id="more-509"></span></p>
<h2>Create iPhone wallpaper with apps help</h2>
<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dimensionz-wallpapers/id380796979">Dimensionz Wallpapers</a> is a great application that helps make your wallpaper better. It gives your apps shelves by inserting in said shelves on top of the wallpaper. It really makes your home screen much better. Another app that does a similar thing is <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shelf-maker/id391718197">Shelf Maker</a>, again costing 99 cents. Shelf Maker looks a bit more casual, with a wide range of shelves.</p>
<p>I would personally choose Dimensionz Wallpapers if you want to make your wallpaper look that bit better (or worse, depending on your opinion). Sadly there aren’t much more you can do, but you could use something like Photoshop Express if you want to get a bit more technical with your wallpaper. On a side note, the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235">Photoshop Express</a> app is a very nice application, well worth a download (it&#8217;s free by the way).</p>
<p>Now, all of these nice effects are useless without the accompanying wallpapers. Thankfully many applications exist that will help you find various wallpapers. One of the best we have found is the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/all-in-1-wallpapers-box-glow/id373485609">All-IN-1 Wallpaper Box with Glow Effects</a> – bit of a mouth full, but it contains more than 150,000 wallpapers, with more than 10,000 retina (960&#215;640 resolution) wallpapers and it grows regularly. If you can’t find a wallpaper that you like, you’re not looking hard enough! And this app is in fact free.</p>
<p>Another app to source wallpapers from is <a href="http://download.pandaapp.com/ios-iphone-app/98000-wallpapers-hd-glow-effects-backgrounds-pro2.0.2-id8947.html">98,000+ Wallpapers HD &amp; Glow Effects Backgrounds</a>. This one isn&#8217;t free, but costs 99 cents instead. These wallpapers are surprisingly high quality given the vast quantity of them. Well worth the 99 cents if you are struggling to find wallpapers in the &#8216;All in 1&#8242; app mentioned previously.</p>
<h2>We&#8217;re not saying you have to get an app to get wallpapers</h2>
<p>Another great option is to simply check sites such as InterfaceLIFT – a site that has a huge amount of great nature wallpapers taken by great photographers in a variety of resolutions, including all the iPhone and iPad resolutions. They also make great desktop backgrounds as well.And what’s stopping you from taking your own photograph, perhaps using Camera+, to make the image pop. Then just crop the image and make it into a nice wallpaper.</p>
<p>So, get a wallpaper from either the apps or the internet, and then put it into a app such as Dimensionz Wallpapers, give it some shelves and then you should have a nice, creative iPhone wallpaper.</p>
<p>All these apps will hopefully help create your ideal home screen wallpaper. Of course, the iPhone is still very limited regarding customisation, compared to say the Android operating system. Even so, many argue this is the appeal of iOS; it&#8217;s a simple, clean OS. Combine that with a high quality wallpaper and your iPhone will look great.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_504" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-504" title="Tips Choosing the Best Registry Cleaners" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tips-Choosing-the-Best-Registry-Cleaners.jpg" alt="Tips Choosing the Best Registry Cleaners" width="400" height="419" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tips Choosing the Best Registry Cleaners</p></div>
<p>Is your registry giving you headaches? Has your computer slowed down significantly? It could be that a registry cleanup is in order. Installing and uninstalling programs can leave your registry cluttered and functioning improperly. Let us give you hints on the fastest way to fix any registry problems.</p>
<p>The best way of cleaning those files up is to use one of the many available software programs designed to clean your registry. There are some free programs that work as good at the paid versions. Here are 4 things you should look for in your registry cleaner.<span id="more-503"></span></p>
<h2>Read Testimonials And Reviews</h2>
<p>This is a critical first step when searching for the right registry cleaner. You can ask around on forums and blogs and get some feedback there as well. Read about them carefu</p>
<h2>Good Customer Support</h2>
<p>Regardless of how good a product may be, without good customer support, it is no good. You will end up needing help with either the installation or with some step by step guidance. If you have no help then you are stuck without remedy. Good customer support is crucial.lly so you can weed out the good programs from the bad. Review sites can be a lot of help.</p>
<h2>Price Shopping</h2>
<p>You should never let price rule your decision making when it comes to registry cleaners. You want your program to do its job right first, then have a decent price. There are some of the cheaper programs that far out-perform the pricier models, so look for features and good benefits in your registry cleaner and you should have a smooth go of it.</p>
<h2>Easy To Use</h2>
<p>Any software that gives you problems while using it is wrong for you. It needs to be user-friendly. Your cleaner needs to be able to clean up your registry quickly and repair errors all by itself. It should be easy to install and easy to operate. It should be able to clean and repair all registry errors with just a click of your mouse.</p>
<p>To clean up your registry should not be a hard thing to do, and doing it manually is not a good idea. Always remember that price is not the all in all. You just want a cleaner that has the features you need and can deliver with ease of use and good customer service.</p>
<p>There are some free programs and some that cost you, but one thing for sure is that if you do not have one then you are destined to experience crashes and possibly the ‘blue screen of death’. Slower performance makes for really frustrating times. You can avoid that with a good registry cleaner. Just find the one that has the features you really need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is definitely not a difficult task to start of blog and in fact anyone can do so without having any prior experience. The following here are some simple steps in which someone can start a blog of their own. The first thing that someone needs to do when starting a blog is finding a blog service provider or host your own blog.</p>
<p>As soon as you figure that out, your next step is to choose the layout that you desire along with the color scheme that will best suit your blog. Now you’re all set and ready to start blogging.<span id="more-499"></span></p>
<h2><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-500" title="Starting a Blog" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Starting-a-Blog.jpg" alt="Starting a Blog" width="550" height="358" /></h2>
<h2>Starting your blog is not the only thing that you have to do</h2>
<p>You need to keep updating your blog on a regular basis. The more frequently that you update your blog, the more people are going to be drawn to it and will come back to read your posts on a regular basis. You should definitely make blogging part of your daily routine.</p>
<h2>Writing style and blog on what you&#8217;re good at</h2>
<p>If you start making the effort to blog everyday and put effort in to your blog posts you’re sure to start catching people’s attention. You want to make sure that you keep your writing style interesting and focus your attention on what people are going to want to read rather than what you are interested in reading.</p>
<p>You want to make sure that you use a standard style of writing that can be understood by the majority of your readers. You should avoid using abbreviations and slang to make sure that everyone can understand your writing. You should also keep your focus to a single topic and make sure you have expertise in it.</p>
<p>When you start of blogging, you need to impart your personality into your writing so that your readers to get an impression of who is behind the blog. With all the tools that are available just about anyone can start of blog but few know how to write what people are going to want to read.</p>
<p>Starting a blog is an incredibly easy thing to do as can just about anyone can do. Which you really need to learn how to do is write content that people are going to want to read over and over again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iPhone is probably the most well-known smartphone on the planet, and it can do a lot more than people commonly think. Sure, it can play some cute little games and browse the web, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>This article intends to show you five very useful things that chances are; you didn’t even think a phone was capable of.</p>
<div id="attachment_497" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 394px"><img class="size-full wp-image-497" title="iPhone 4s" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/iphone-4s.jpg" alt="iPhone 4s" width="384" height="361" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iPhone 4s</p></div>
<h2>Your iPhone Can Save You Money</h2>
<p>How many times have you been shopping (this is particularly useful with big ticket items such as TVs and laptops), and thought, I wonder if I could have got it cheaper at X? With a barcode scanner, you can do precisely that. Simply scan the barcode, the app will then scour the web for that product and see if it’s cheaper elsewhere.</p>
<p>It can also pull up reviews and see more in depth specifications. With online shops like Amazon offering quite significant discounts over brick and mortar stores, this could save you several hundred dollars/pounds over a year.</p>
<h2>iPhone Can Also Control Your Lights!</h2>
<p>This one takes a bit more than downloading a app though; you have to get a LutronHouseWorks system up and running and then thanks to HomeWorks Light Control, you can control your lights remotely via your iPhone. This presents numerous uses; the first obviously being just because you can, but it can also help fend off burglars if you are the paranoid type.</p>
<p>Decided to stay over away from home? Just turn your lights on and the burglars will hopefully be frightened off.</p>
<h2>Scan Documents With iPhone</h2>
<p>Scanning documents used to be such a hassle; go over to the scanner, lift the lid, align it correctly, hope the scanner is still working, wait for the dreadful noise and then eventually you have a scanned image.</p>
<p>Now, just take a picture of the document (it doesn’t even to be face on) and the app does it&#8217;s magic, and you have a correctly aligned screen shot of that document. This application is called Genius Scan.</p>
<h2>Manage and Move Files Around</h2>
<p>Left a crucial file on your computer at home? Fear not, you can connect to your computer remotely via &#8216;Ignition&#8217;. You can manage and move files around, open programs and copy documents.</p>
<p>It runs on both PC&#8217;s and Macs and the app can control multiple computers at once. Be warned though – it’s not cheap coming in at $99 or £69 in the UK. Sure, it’s a powerful application but at that price I&#8217;d think twice. Still, a useful thing you can do, if you have the cash to spare, on your iPhone. I&#8217;ll just stick to remembering things!</p>
<h2>There&#8217;s More than Just a Calculator</h2>
<p>Finally, and this is a quick one; you can use the calculator on the iPhone for more than just the basics – turn it on its side and you’ll see a fully functioning scientific calculator.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s capable of all the standard things such as sine, cosine and tan rules. So if you forget your calculator next time you’re in the mathematics class, don’t fear, just use your phone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_485" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 456px"><a href="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/social-media.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-485" title="Social Media Sites" src="http://www.geektips.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/social-media.jpg" alt="Social Media Sites" width="446" height="420" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Social Media Sites</p></div>
<p>With the world of the Internet constantly evolving, it comes to reason that sometimes, there are terms that people don’t actually understand. Of course that by spending much time online, a person will oftentimes stumble upon many unknown terms that might not even be so important after all.</p>
<p>However, there are some things that we find online and we would like to know more about. There are certain abbreviations that can be found on all sorts of forums and websites and there are, of course, terms that have to do with the content found on different websites. For an example, many people are very confused about what social media actually is.<span id="more-480"></span></p>
<p>One of the reasons why this term is so confusing for many is the fact that it combines two terms that are very frequently used but which seem to have no actual link. Some people automatically think about online newspapers, because of the term “media” used. When the term of “social” is seen, people usually think about social networking websites. This is what creates all of the confusion. The truth is that social media refers to a broader range of websites. Practically, any kind of websites that contain some sort of media and that give visitors the possibility of interacting by commenting, uploading content or by rating articles of pictures can be considered social media.</p>
<p>There are lots of social media websites. Among the most popular, there is Wikipedia. This site can be considered social media because users have the possibility of contributing to the content of the articles. Facebook, which is a social networking site, can also be considered social media, because people have a broad possibility of commenting, uploading photos and videos and chatting with others. YouTube is another place where people can find media combined with a form of socializing. People can upload videos and also comment and rate other people’s videos. Today, the big majority of websites can be considered social media, because the visitors’ possibility to share their opinion and their ability to socialize with other visitors can be quite important things to attract traffic with.</p>
<p>Many sites all over the web can be considered social media. The main condition for that is for the visitors to have the ability to leave some sort of feedback on that site, whether if it’s just a rating, a comment or even an article or a video.</p>
<h2>Social Media Marketing</h2>

It is the same with the companies that are interested in offering jobs. You can easily create a company page on Facebook for example and state in the description that you are hiring.</p>
<p>On the other hand, social media networking can also be reduced to simply making comments and getting to know people on social networking websites. As long as uploading a photo and getting to chat with someone or to rate or comment on photos is possible, that is a social media networking site.</p>
<p>Today, such websites are oftentimes used as means of getting traffic on other websites. Social media networking is so popular, that the websites that are included in the social media area are among the most visited websites. Because of this, of course that anyone who owns an online business will probably like to take advantage of such websites to post ads and probably announcements about the services they have to offer.

Because of personalized profiles, putting ads on social networking websites is also a great way of targeting people who are more prone to be interested in the website’s content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The various types of web hosting supposedly created to make it easier for consumers to get customized solutions for their needs make it extremely difficult for a newbie to web hosting choose a plan. If you have no experience with web hosting and need to choose a package to get your site online you should consider <strong>cPanel web hosting</strong>. cPanel is quite popular among resellers and the majority of webmasters online for the simple fact that it makes management of everything related to your website simple and straightforward. Outlined below are some benefits of cPanel hosting.<span id="more-478"></span></p>
<h2>All In One Site Maintenance</h2>
<p>With cPanel you will be able to get your site’s backup files when you need them, observe disk space usage, create and customize error pages, manage web directories and install shopping carts and other applications with ease. cPanel is one of the most flexible and easy options for maintaining and management of a website.</p>
<h2>Backup Facility in Cpanel Web Hosting</h2>
<p>It is easy to overlook the need to backup your site when you get caught up with the everyday operation of running a busy site. Thankfully cpanel can make backups a breeze so that you can easily create and store backups of your data files, images, videos, emails and other types of content. If your website crashes for some reason you can easily recover your data and restore your sites with a few clicks.</p>
<h2>Lots Of Useful Features</h2>
<p>One of the primary reasons so many webmasters choose cPanel is due to the fact that it is extremely stable. Other features include the ability to setup and manage emails, add or remove domains, view web stats, monitor bandwidth usage and much more. No other control panel comes close to the flexibility that is offered by cPanel.</p>
<h2>Web Stats</h2>
<p>You need to carefully monitor your site visitors, where the traffic is coming from and the amount of traffic that you are getting if you want to run a successful business. Failure to find ways to increase your traffic and the quality of your leads will affect the success of your online business. This is the reason why web stats are so important. With cPanel you can view your web site and get the information that you need to make improvements and grow your business.</p>
<h2>Email Management</h2>
<p>Email management and spam protection are also great features of cPanel. Multiple email accounts can be difficult to manage but with cPanel you can easily assign your domains to your email accounts and even create an autoresponder for each email. You can also set the spam filter to a level that you need in order to decrease the amount of incoming spam.</p>
<h2>Fantastico &amp; Softaculous</h2>
<p>A very convenient advantage of <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">cPanel web hosting</span></em> is Fantastico and the recent Softaculous that you can use to administer your domain over a simple interface. It makes the installation of popular scripts and applications such as WordPress, Joomla, and many others possible with one click. This removes the need for technical assistance that would usually have been needed to install these programs.</p>
<p>For complete control of your website management cPanel in a web hosting  is a must!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today more people are using <strong>registry cleaner software</strong> than ever before. They realize the benefits to having a clean registry. Computers are our new source of information in the 21st century. Most all households in the U.S. have a computer for performing various functions. The more use your computer gets the more information will be stored in your registry. The biggest benefit of cleaner is that it does away with orphaned and redundant files. You computer is a reader, and with less trash in the way it can read the files it needs much faster. Wading through the trash is what slows it down.</p>
<p>The computer registry is the place where all your applications will create new entries in regard to temporary data. This kind of entry will never be deleted by themselves, so the more data processing that gets done by your computer, the more bloated things get within the registry. This causes computer slow-down.<span id="more-477"></span></p>
<p>It becomes necessary for you to utilize a good windows registry cleaner now and then to rid your computer of all the clutter. Time passes and it becomes inevitable that you will store up clutter in your registry. It happens often when you install and un-install programs. Not all the files will be removed with the program. They become orphaned and clutter.</p>
<h2>Registry Cleaner Software Benefits</h2>
<p>Here is what most PC users do to clutter their computers &#8211; they install and un-install programs regularly, and they delete software that never really totally un-installed. These two thing add to your registry problems quite a bit.</p>
<p>Additionally, you might have picked up some embedded spyware, or you could pick up unused and undeleted drivers. All of these things play their roles in slowing down your computer, even to the point of crashing if you don&#8217;t take action. This is why registry cleaners are so beneficial. Before you reach the point of crashing you can run one of these cleaners and repair the problems to your registry. They trim the clutter out of the way and repair necessary files while deleting redundant files.</p>
<p>As technology improves so do the available registry cleaners. They have new features like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Scanning and repairing the entire registry and fixing the problems while leaving valid records.</li>
<li>Some of the good cleaners can detect and clean up embedded keys that many times are undetectable. They carry malicious codes used by many of the malicious softwares.</li>
<li>The new ones come with scheduling options for automatically cleaning your registry on a schedule you set yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p>Anytime you install new systems onto your computer, you more than likely will not see any registry problems. The more you use the computer, the more frivolous entries begin accumulating in your registry, and just like clutter in your living room, if it isn&#8217;t picked up it grows, making navigating the room more difficult. This is where a good registry cleaner software can make your life so much easier.</p>
