Today we will share a feature Wordpress calls “shortcodes”… Yes, Wordpress offers shortcuts in code which make the process of creating interesting articles even easier, and they explain the entire process here:
What are the WordPress shortcodes?
What is a shortcode?
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line. Shortcode = shortcut.

iBusinessLogic.com Installs new Website/Blog for Local Tampa Bay Water Company
June 27, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Arctic Spring Water of Tampa Bay, Florida selected iBusinessLogic.com to design the new Arctic Water website and blog.
The owner of Arctic Spring of Clearwater, Nick Chachula is very interested in the inherent power of content management websites and blogs. He was intrigued by the idea that he could reduce his overall Pay Per Click advertising budget by utilizing a website built upon blog technology.
Nick’s old website was built just 2 years ago but he found it very difficult to update and his webmaster was not always available to make changes. Nick is excited about the very real possibility that he can manage his own business website after a short training session with iBusinessLogic’s Scott Pooler.
“Adding content in the form of blog posts to any website will build up the page rank and therefore the organic search standing of that site” said Scott Pooler, CEO of iBusinessLogic.com of Largo, Florida. “We are pleased to be working with an established and reliable company like Arctic Spring”. When companies like this come to us for a new way to run their websites we are always happy to help!
The following is a screen shot of the first mock up of the new Arctic Spring water site. Changes will be made before it is officially launched but Nick Chachula is really excited by the fresh and clean look of the new site.

I received a call the other day from the son of a nearly lifelong (at least it seems like a long time) friend of mine.
My friends son, Keith Bloemendaal is the sales manager of a local fence building contractor company in Raleigh Durham, North Carolina.
Carolina Custom Fences builds high quality custom fences and they are proud of the fact that they have some of the best installers in the area.
Keith Bloemendaal called iBusinessLogic to ask our opinion of the current Carolina Custom Fences website (follow the link above).
As you can see, the current website is a bit bland and really does not engage the public. This is web 1.0 at its best and is about 6-8 years out of date for website design. The owner of the company, Scott, did the best job he could with the tools his web builder gave him, but the results just do not compare with the state of the art today. Read more
