Lightbox Plus WordPress Plugin video guide

The other day I ran across what is probably the best video guide to learn how to use Lightbox Plus ColorBox and easily add fancy light box photo effects to your WordPress site. I wish I could say that I created it, but frankly writing tutorials, guides and documentation is not my forte.
The author of this excellent guide is Philip Gledhill and he does an brilliant job covering all aspects of Lightbox Plus ColorBox. The tutorial is available on Philip’s site as Lightbox Plus WordPress Plugin video guide. If you are trying to get a better understanding of how to use Lightbox Plus ColorBox I can’t recommend his guide enough!

HubSpot for Gravity Forms Add-On

March 17, 2012 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

I just released a new plugin that is an add-on for Gravity Form which allows leads generated in Gravity Forms to be fed into HubSpot. The Gravity Forms HubSpot add-on let’s you use the HubSpot Lead API to send your Gravity Forms based landing page leads directly to HubSpot. All you need to do is add one setting and check a box when configuring your forms. All your form entries will then be added to HubSpot from now on. Integrating with HubSpot has never been so simple.

You can grab the plugin right here:

Learn how to add fancy lightbox effects to your images in WordPress. You can add the lightbox effect to individual images or all images, and your photo galleries. Lightbox Plus is a small easy to use lightweight plugin. It’s a good compliment to the more powerful and more complicated NextGEN Gallery.

Going to be @SXSW Interactive

March 5, 2012 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

I’ll be at SXSW Interactive later this week. I’m not sure which talks, panels and events I’m going to attend just yet. I do plan on attending at least one or two of the keynotes – hopefully the Ray Kurzweil conversation with Lev Grossman “Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit” and Jennifer Pahlka’s “Coding the Next Chapter of American History“. Quite a few of the featured sessions look good too.

If you’re going too there leave me a comment about what events you might be attending.
