I’ve spent some of my after-hours free time on Twitter answering questions about WordPress and helping folks with their WordPress issues.

Turned out to be a great success, lots of fun and a bunch of people who had their problems solved were glad I was on hand to help them out!

So I thought I would make this a regular gig! I’ve created a new username just for WordPress help via Twitter: @wpresshelp.

Here’s how it works…

You get on Twitter on Mondays at 8p CDT. You type in your question just like a normal Tweet but at the end you add #wpresshelp. That’s my hash tag that I’ll be looking for. When I see a Tweet using that tag, I’ll jump in and offer my assistance.

Today Dan Milward of GetShopped.org released the newest WP E-Commerce plugin that is part of the Gold Cart package. The WP e-Commerce Product Slider 2010 Plugin displays your products in a new ‘fancy sliding product window’ on your website. The new Product Slider 2010 allows you to place the Product Slider on your site using either a WordPress friendly ShortCode or via a Template Tag. Either way you look at it this new version is going to add some visual appeal to your web shop.
Use our famous “Product Slider” module. Check it out on www.icondock.com if you doubt the awesomeness!
The only requirements are that you are using the latest gold files.
