How to add a popup, modal, or content overlay in WordPress

WordPress Modals, Popups, and Overlays - WP Tutorials
Written by: Alvin Brown

Okay, it’s been a while since I shared a WordPress tutorial, and today’s your lucky day.

Of all the many questions posed on a weekly basis from various prospects and customers with WordPress websites, the question of how difficult it is to create a popup, modal, or content overlay is quite frequent.

Many are focused on their line of business and not so much the technical experts of the ins and outs of their website. That said, the creation of popups, modals and content overlays in WordPress might as well be rocket science.

And although it’s not my first time around the block providing this type of WordPress solution for those that desire functionality for their website, I’ll share with you two WordPress plugins I’ve started using on more and more projects.

Rick Schwartz - DomainKing(TM)
Written by: Alvin Brown

If you’ve been around the domain industry two seconds or longer, then you’ve likely heard the name Rick Schwartz, also known as the DomainKing™.

He’s certainly not a new face to industry. A living legend, by many standards, not short on vision, stories, and facts/opinions about domain, business, and life in general, having held more than 30 jobs in a 5 year span.

Will more companies commit to branded emoji, and possibly emoji marketing and emoji domains?

Year-Over-Year Emoji Growth
Written by: Alvin Brown

Everyone and their grandmother, if not great-grandmother by now, use emoji — billions daily in collective use — to communicate a multitude of thoughts and expressions daily.

Whether by email, text, chat, clothing, or billboards, emoji marketing has nearly touched every possible form of communication, including domain names.

From Apple to Taco Bell to Domino’s to name a few, a growing number of brands are committing more and more marketing and advertising dollars to the use of emoji marketing.

One of the most recent announcements for brands entering the emoji marketing space with their own branded emoji — the pickup truck — is Ford Motor Company.

GoDaddy Retires Old Domain Manager View

July 24, 2019 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

I’ve grown to appreciate GoDaddy’s Domain Manager improvements over the years.

Some improvements have gotten better throughout the years, while others crashed, burned, and were likely dead on arrival.

However, I find myself missing GoDaddy’s old user experience for the Domain Manager.

How long should domain investors be willing to renew domain names?

How long should domain investors be willing to renew domain names?
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s the $64,000 — perhaps million dollar — question most domain investors ask or ponder from time to time when purchasing and renewing domains.

If you’re a domain investor, and this question hasn’t crossed your mind, then you’re likely wasting money, time, and effort calling yourself domain investing.

With almost a decade of domain investing under my belt now, I’ve learned the importance of answering this question and operating my domain investing business to strict adherence of strategic timeline for each and every investment.

How to Renew Domains using GoDaddy Domains API

May 1, 2019 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s been a while since I graced you all with a tutorial using GoDaddy’s Aftermarket API.

In fact, I haven’t written a tutorial since the one about retrieving a list of GoDaddy domains you own.

Although today’s tutorial is not about retrieving a list of domains, you’ll likely use the previous tutorial in conjunction to today’s tutorial covering how to renew a domain for a given time period.

How to Use Facebook Graph API 3.X to Retrieve Engagement Activity

April 29, 2019 11 Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown
UPDATE 11/01/2020: Facebook’s Graph API 2.X and 3.X no longer allows for retrieval of URL likes, shares and comment counts. However, Facebook’s Graph API 8.X DOES allow for retrieval of engagement activity, and I’ve produced a new tutorial. 😉

 

It’s hard to believe a few years has passed since I wrote the tutorial about how to use Facebook’s Graph API 2.X to retrieve the count for a given URL’s likes, shares, and comments.

I was informed a few days ago that my seamless solution for displaying the total count for likes, shares, and comments is dead in the water and no longer works.

Well, I guess this means we’re all in the dark now since Facebook’s most recent API upgrade doesn’t allow for such desired functionality, right?
