PayPal offers a really nice feature that lets you customize the look and feel of the PayPal checkout page to match the look and feel of your web site. We highly recommend that you use this feature to have your PayPal checkout page look similar to your WP-eCommerce shopping cart pages. It makes for a much friendlier feeling checkout experience.
But what do you do when you have one PayPal account and multiple stores. The PayPal Payments Standard 2.0 gateway that comes with WP-eCommerce doesn’t let you override the look and feel settings on a store by store basis. And the newer PayPal gateways that come with WP-e Commerce may not be suitable for your store for some reason.
There is an easy answer!
The PayPal gateway that comes with WP-eCommerce has a nifty “filter” that we can use to pick any of the “styles” you have set up in your PayPal settings. It’s only a few lines of code that you can drop into a file in the mu-plugins directory, or into your theme’s functions.php.
This little snippet of code will tell PayPal to use the ‘pyebrook’ style sheet whenever WP-eCommerce sends a shopper to PayPal.
Unless you are a SEO expert, Yoast’s WordPress Plugin is a a tool that will save you alot of work, and keep much the SEO process understandable and accessible to mere mortals. It’s a great addition for any WordPress site, and especially useful for WPEC that create lots of posts (products are posts) and have lost of taxonomies (variations and categories are taxonomies). IMHO. the dynamic sitemap generation feature of the WorpPress SEO plugin alone makes it a must have.

However, there are some details about how WPEC is implemented that need to be addressed when you install the SEO plugin.First item, WPEC stores products as posts. WPEC stores
variations of products as child posts of product posts. These child posts are used to hold information about an individual product variation. Details like the variation image, price, stock. etc. The important detail to note is that these child posts are not directly accessible to the outside world. In WP speak, the permalink for these posts will give you a 404!
A fast-growing number of software applications offers doctors the chance to view X-rays or monitor heart rates from iPads or smartphones, prompting U.S. health officials on Tuesday to propose government oversight for some of the more complex health apps.
A portion of the apps perform tasks that mimic the work of medical devices and could cause harm if they failed to perform as promised,Food and Drug Administration officials said.
New FDA guidelines state that in some cases software developers would have to show their apps worked as well as non-mobile devices for the same use.
The agency would have to provide clearance for those apps before they could be sold. FDA officials said they recognized the potential benefits from mobile medical apps and aimed to encourage future development.
So this is what we came up with for the workout zone widget…
The best news is that the application infrastructure we use for btHeart and btScale now has the full capability to support many different widgets, we’ll be rolling them out shortly, along with support for Zephyr’s BioHarness.
We are working on the documentation for the application. To get you started a primer of the main screen is below. Tap on any of the graphs to zoom in on the live picture.
The heart rate data read from your heart rate monitor is recorded in a text log file. The file is in the standard “CSV” format and can be imported into spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel or Google Docs. The log files are on your device’s SDCARD, in a directory named “hrmlog” . btScale always writes its log to the file named “hrm.log”.
Every time you select the “Restart Workout” option the “hrm.log” file will be renamed using the current date and time. A new HRM.LOG file will then be created. You can delete any of the logs in this directory at any time they are not in use.
