			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this economy, many smaller businesses have been hit hard. For those that are still around, it is often a big struggle to survive. Part of making it as a small business is continual growth. But growth often requires investment capital beyond the means of most small business owners. The web design, public relations and ad agency business is no different from most others in this respect. However, they have significant advantage over more traditional retail business. The web design, public relations and ad agency model puts the small business owner in the position to be talking to their customers about digital marketing. This makes them eligible for a <a href="http://hubshout.com/?How-a-small-SEO-services-firm-can-compete:-Private-Label-SEO&amp;AID=142" target="_blank">white label SEO</a> reseller strategy.</p>
<p>A white label SEO approach is one in which the business partners with another firm to do the fulfillment of the seo services to existing or new clients. Different from traditional outsourcing, the white label approach (often called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B2y6h-Li8Y" target="_blank">private label SEO</a>) is one in which the end client is not aware that the work has been outsourced to another firm. This arrangement is extremely common in the food industry where a grocery store will often put their own label on certain food items. The grocery chain does not make the food product, but the manufacturer allows them to put their store&#8217;s name on the product (private label) or make it generic (white label).</p>
<p>Online marketing has evolved to the point where these types of <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hubshout-augments-seo-reseller-program-with-release-of-white-label-web-grader-2012-03-06" target="_blank">white label SEO, PPC, Social Media and Email</a> products are now widely available. The advantage to the web design, public relations or ad agency is that they can grow revenues without the required investment in product development. The white label approach allows them to maintain control of the client relationship in case things turn bad, in which case they can always pull the work back in-house. White label search engine marketing products are a creative way for business who already discuss digital marketing with clients to grow their businesses with relatively low risk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I stumbled across a <a href="http://lizatom.com/members/aff/go?r=25&#038;i=13">wordpress shortcodes plugin</a> and decided to write a review about it because this was the first wordpress plugin that has actually impressed me. Even though I have been in the &#8220;WordPress industry&#8221; for some time now, I often seen shortcodes plugins, (free and paid) that offer a few service boxes, and maybe buttons and a slider, but nothing impressive. This one is a new-generation plugin, with thousands (yes, thousands!) of service boxes, thousands of button variations available, image shadows, tooltips, pricing table, accordion, video tooltips, jQuery horizontal tabs, jQuery vertical tabs, jQuery accordion, stylish quotes, jQuery info boxes, CSS3 tooltips, CSS3 frames, CSS3 buttons, custom unordered lists, layout columns, highlighters, dropcaps and more..</p>
<p><a href="http://lizatom.com/members/aff/go?r=25&#038;i=13" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.toptut.com//HLIC/2317e13a60a53186a98e950eec9e467f.jpg" alt="http://www.toptut.com//HLIC/2317e13a60a53186a98e950eec9e467f.jpg" width="524" height="266" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Cost: $19 &#8211; Personal License <em>or</em> $59 Developer License</strong> (for 1 client). If you wish to inbuild the plugin into your theme and offer it for sale on one of the big sites like <a href="http://wpmarket.net?ref=loreleiweb" target="_blank">WPmarket.net</a> or <a href="http://themeforest.net?ref=loreleiweb" target="_blank">ThemeForest.net</a> you need to contact the author of <a href="http://lizatom.com" target="_blank">LizaTom.com</a> for a custom quote.</p>
<p><a href="http://lizatom.com/members/aff/go?r=25&#038;i=13"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4001" title="1122" src="http://www.toptut.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1122.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="400" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Advantages:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>LizaTom Shortcodes plugin, despite having a trillion of options and images, is <strong>very lightweight</strong> (500kb installation file) which allows you to upload it directly using the wordpress interface, without connecting to FTP client</li>
<li><strong>Cheap as hell.</strong> Well crappier plugins are selling for about the same price on CodeCanyon and other places, here &#8212; for your $19 you get the best plugin in the industry PLUS a few other totally professional plugins and beautiful wordpress themes that come included in your membership. The membership duration is one year (you can renew or cancel at any time) during which you will get access to all the upcoming themes and plugins that LizaTom.com is planning to release. On average there is 1-2 items added per month so you can&#8217;t go wrong with this price.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible like never-before.</strong> With 2000+ service boxes, almost endless button variations (color, size, icons) and plenty of other features you will never need any other plugin.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3998" title="tooltips" src="http://www.toptut.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tooltips.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="327" /></li>
<li><strong>Bonuses</strong>. While you might, at first glace, think that the other plugins and theme are just a bonus, if you look closer you will see that these are high quality theme that quickly became <a href="http://wpmarket.net/users/LTthemes/?ref=loreleiweb" target="_blank">topsellers on WPmarket.net</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Free updates and support</strong> are included with each membership.</li>
<li><strong>Easy to use</strong>. I personally hate the kind of plugins that look awesome but when you download and install them, you have no clue how to get started, or worse &#8211; the shortcodes plugins that you need to know the exact command and hardcode them in the body of your post. LizaTom Shortcodes plugin takes care of everything for you, just select the shortcodes you want from an easy to use drop down menu and the code will be generated for you in less than a second.</li>
<li><strong>Pricing Table.</strong> If you ever used shortcodes plugins before (or even premium wordpress themes) you would know that a good pricing table is hard to come by. LizaTom Shortcodes plugin offers a CSS3 highly customizable pricing table that looks absolutely professional yet not overly web 2.0, so you will have no problem fitting it into any design.</li>
<li><strong>Won&#8217;t clash with other shortcodes plugins.</strong> If you have any inbuilt in your current theme.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://lizatom.com/members/aff/go?r=25&#038;i=13"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4002" title="11442" src="http://www.toptut.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/11442.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="400" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Disadvantages:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>None that I found after using the plugin for 2 weeks on several websites and testing it on 3 different wordpress themes.</li>
</ol>

<p>This is the upcoming star of the wordpress industry. Take my word on that! Here are some more screenshots:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we are going to create an extremely beautiful text effect that you will love, I guarantee. It will look good on both dark and light backgrounds (slightly better on the dark ones) and it will look equally impressive at any font size, though again, because of the perfectly thought-through details, big and curvy fonts will present this effect significantly better. So, let&#8217;s get started!</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/effect.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="6U6277LAREKCJ">
<input type="image" src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/downloadssuccess1dollar.jpg" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br />
</form>
<blockquote><p><strong><br />
Important! When purchasing the PSD file, please click the “Return To Merchant’s Site” orange button once you made the payment, otherwise the download will not start automatically. If anything went wrong, just email me to the paypal address email. Font is not included in the download.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Step 1 </strong>- Create a new canvas of any size you wish, we used a relatively small one and filled it with dark blue #3b434f. Select a curvy and nice font that will be able to show beautifully all the details for this text effect. We used Renaissance font and went for a really big size!!</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong> &#8211; Go to Layer Styles and apply the following settings:</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /><br />
We set the shadow to black and reduced the opacity to almost half, this will look amazing on even bigger font size and grained or busy background.</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Set the inner shadow to black and full opacity. The curve quality is called &#8220;chrome&#8221; and it is one of the default ones in most Photoshop versions.</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/4.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Set the Outer Glow to Linear Dodge and use a crazy blue hue as we did &#8211; #00e4ff.</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/5.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Pay attention to inner glow, using semi transparent white color and Linear Dodge effect as well, we are getting a very nice look&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/6.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Cove &#8211; Deep, this is the curve you will use for bevel effect, note that this text effect doesn&#8217;t look bevelled at all, yet the mild settings we use give it full depth and 3D feel.</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/7.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>We are using &#8220;Gaussian&#8221; countour for Satin settings, with mild and beautiful mauve hue.</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/8.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Gradient overlay &#8211; #808080 to black, and then once again #808080 to white. Note that we are using &#8220;Reflected&#8221; style, but even any other will look great!</p>
<p><img src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/9.jpg" alt="elegant glass" /></p>
<p>Almost invisible #003e73 dark blue 1 pixel stroke will add wholeness to this pixel perfect text effect.<br />
That&#8217;s it, viola! The effect is ready. If you like the way it looks but can&#8217;t get the settings to work (though I encourage you to try, it&#8217;s very easy!), feel free to purchase my PSD file for $1 only, and the download is instalt, if you don&#8217;t forget to click the &#8220;return to merchant&#8221; orange button at the end of the payment. Scroll back up for details. Enjoy!</p>

All these things were sought after and cost a lot of money, requiring plenty of custom development.

<p>Since late 2007 however an increasing number of WordPress theme developers have been offering premium WordPress themes – themes which are offered for a fixed price. These premium WordPress themes are usually sold for between $50 to $250. Originally only a small number of talented and well-known WordPress theme designers created paid premium WordPress themes which were well designed, highly functional, top-quality themes that transformed a WordPress installation from a simple blog into a powerful content management system. However as the premium WordPress theme business concept spread, more and more WordPress theme designers have hopped on the bandwagon trying to cash on the new trend filling up their portfolio with premium (paid) wordpress themes. However with greater variety and numbers of paid premium WordPress themes also comes varying levels of quality. So what specifically makes a premium WordPress theme premium? Some characteristics that should set a premium wordpress theme apart from a free theme are listed below:</p>
<p><b>Quality and Unique Design</b><br />
Premium WordPress themes should be just that &#8211; Premium. They should look better and be of a much higher quality and unique design than compared to those available for free.</p>
<p><b>Features</b><br />
While all themes are different, in general premium WordPress themes should have more &#8220;Features&#8221; than their free counterparts. What that means depends on the theme in question. However some features may include: &#8220;Featured Posts&#8221; areas, Multiple layout options for the home page, drop down menus, multiple customs templates for pages, custom field options, print style sheets etc.</p>
<p><b>Customization Options and Flexibility</b><br />
People want options, so Premium WordPress themes should be customizable. Buying a premium theme will set you apart from the crowd significantly, but since other people will still be using the same theme, premium themes should be able to be easily customized further, whether it be for the layout, colours, images, or all of the above.</p>
<p><b>Live Preview or Demo</b><br />
There should be a live demo or preview of the theme so you can test it and check it out before buying. If there is no live preview or demo that should be a warning sign. You should ask why don&#8217;t they want you to test the theme first? All reputable premium theme sellers will have a live demo full of content for you to test. Explore the live demo thoroughly, testing all pages to see that the theme works properly and there are no errors or mistakes.</p>
<p><b>Full Support</b><br />
If you&#8217;re buying a premium WordPress theme it should also come with a certain degree of support from the designer. The level of support can vary however and will range from personalized individual support from the designer, to the provision of forums or blog comment sections for asking questions and obtaining support from the designer and other people who have purchased the theme.</p>
<p><b>Supporting Documentation</b><br />
Premium WordPress themes should come with an instruction manual or document. This should explain how to upload and install the theme and how to manage any of the options that are built into the theme.</p>
<p><b>Free Updates</b><br />
Wordpress is continually being updated and improved and a premium WordPress theme developer should be offering you free updates of the theme when required.</p>
<p><b>Well Coded</b><br />
There should be no coding errors, misspellings, X images, etc in a premium WordPress theme. The theme has cross browser compatible and been tested to work properly on all the major browsers, plus the theme should have clean and valid code and adhere to strict XHTML and CSS standards.</p>

<p>I am also enclosing 2 sets of examples, based on photos I took myself, together with the original images (unprocessed).

<p>If you have any questions, please drop me a line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we promised about a month ago, we will be releasing more freebies , so here is one small but useful freebie &#8212; Photoshop action that makes a very nice vintage effect.</p>
<p>This action will not only add washed effect and sepia  tone to your photo, like most standard actions do, it will also fix any dark areas you have on the photo (like the black dress curves you see on our example), will add a few layers on noise, one standard and the other imitates small mild scratches. Moreover, there are a several layers of colorization, which allows our action to output a photo as close as possible to the professional photography of the past decade.</p>
<p>We hope you will enjoy this action and please do leave feedback, as always we appreciate any requests and ideas, as well as critiques.</p>
<p>The download contains 1 action, and 3 examples of (1) photo with high contrast and light background, (2) photo of good contrast and light background, and finally (3) dark background photo, so you will see what this free action is capable of. If you&#8217;d like to see more of our PROFESSIONAL Photoshop actions, please have a look at our earlier released &#8220;<strong><a href="http://graphicriver.net/item/12-hdr-pro-actions/75200?rel=loreleiweb">12 HDR pro Actions</a></strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong><a href="http://graphicriver.net/item/lw-photographers-toolkit-actions/73316?rel=loreleiweb">Photographers&#8217; Tool Kit</a></strong>&#8221; actions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After there were a few complaints about the previous action we released where people could not get the colors to work right, we decided to fix this bug with out new &#8220;PSWISH Action 4 pro&#8221;, which works on fixed colors defined in the action itself. You are going to love this one, really. Any boring, dull, lifeless shot you have can be turned into a vivid, professionally retouched photo, just like you sometimes see in photography showcase galleries but have no idea how they have done that. So what does this action actually do? First of all, it fixes contrast, so dark photo become vibrantly yet naturally bright, however, we don&#8217;t use any mask layers to fix the dark fields. Next, it adds light rainbow overlay of colors that blend in perfectly with the content of your original photo. lastly, it adds very mild grain / sand effect, which as you know is very popular among professional photographers.</p>
<p><em>If you want to share this action, please link to this page, and not to the direct download. Also, needless to remind not to sell, offer free or redistribute this action under your own credits. All credits for this action creation are reserved to LoreleiWebDesign.com. Photos used below are stock photos are are used for demonstration purposes ONLY.</em></p>
<p>Click on the following examples, to full view. As always, downloading is 100% free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although we post a lot of tutorials that teach you how to turn your ordinary photos into professional shots, many of us still get stuck and end up playing actions. It only takes seconds and the result is often very impressive.</p>
<p><!--wsa:inside-tut--></p>
<p>With so many ideas and experience I have, I decided it would be a shame if I won&#8217;t release a set of actions to help the readers of PSwish.com and LoreleiWebDesign.com, so here is my first release, PSWISH 3 Action (pro). Please note that this action is for personal use one, and cannot be resold or redistributed on other websites.</p>
<p><em><strong>Instruction:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>The action will work best with LIGHT photos. Any area that is slightly dark will turn black.</li>
<li>The final result&#8217;s color scheme of the photo is determent by your Background and Foreground colors set before you played the action. Play with different variations to see what works best for you. If the results turn to be too dark or too reddish, set both foreground and background colors to lighter hues. Alternatively, <strong>hide the dark clouds layer</strong> when the action is finished playing (which makes the shot significantly lighter yet keeps the professional touch the action applied).</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-526" title="previewpswish3-action" src="http://loreleiwebdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/HLIC/6241737cd4a063286fc4846915625d14.jpg" alt="previewpswish3-action" width="634" height="476" /></p>
<p>I use CS3 so I had no chance to test it on CS2 or lower, if anyone does, please drop a comment below so that other users will know if it&#8217;s suitable for other versions or not.</p>
<p><em><strong>What you can do with this Photoshop Action?</strong></em></p>
<p>This is idea for retouching photos with dull colors, or those that turned to be too light and as a result &#8212; uselessly boring. It will help you to turn any ordinary shot into a professional, &#8220;old school&#8221; photo with very strong contrast, slightly cold colors and grainy texture that is pulled from photo itself, and applied without using any additional grain effect. Like I said, if the result turns to be nearly black, this means your colors were too dark, because if you hide the clouds layer (should be one before last) &#8212; you will get good results but without this beautiful dramatic dark grain.</p>
