On our blogs, if we want the readers to subcribe to be notified for new posts, NP_NotifyMe plugin is the one we use. It's very easy to use. Just install the plugin and edit a few lines in the options: caption label = Subscribe, email address = our email address.

Now go to the skin in the admin area and place the <%NotifyMe%> in there.

For comments, we can place <%NotifyMe(itemsub)%> in the item comments area of the skin

These days we see the icon bookmark on most of the webpages, and the bookmark button comes from Addthis.com all we need to do is the get the code for the button and paste it in our skin part, either main or item. We did both, main index and item pages along with our NotifyMe plugin codes.

These 2 are simple to use, but extremely useful for Nucleuscms blogs.

There is a program called Authorpoint lite that will convert a powerpoint presentation to flash so we can place them on our blogs. To us, if the presentation are just pictures, then we can just use jalbum to display the images with music embeded. If the presentation has animation, then authorpoint is the best. If we just want to convert powerpoint to swf flash files, then we use OpenOffice. We use authorpoint for our powerpoint conversion.

We must have MS powerpoint 2000 or newer for the authorpoint to work (97 doesn't work), install the authorpoint and it will be embeded in the powerpoint software interface. Open a presentation .pps file with music. Some presentation, authorpoint could embed the music to the flash, but some, we need to extract the music file and embed into the html file later. In this presentation, we had to extract the music from the presentation. To extract the music file from the pps file, we just need to save the presentation to html format from powerpoint.

save all files in a folder, in this folder, there will be...
