Vimeo Announces Vimeo Pro: Should You Level-Up?
Vimeo.com announced Monday (Aug. 1st) a new level of service called Vimeo Pro.If you, like me, are a Vimeo PLUS user you might be confused as to the differences between a “Plus” account and a “Pro” account.
Simply put, Vimeo Pro is designed to give users a privately branded and separate commercial video service. In other words, Vimeo Pro removes your video content from the Vimeo community and gives you complete control over said content.

The Spammy Side of Church Communication
Hello, I’m Brian, and I’m a spammer.
I recently came to this realization when I was asked to build a web application that took groups of people from our Church Management Software (here to remain un-named) and added them to lists on MailChimp using the MC API.

Part 2: Filling Your Tabs With Dynamic WordPress Content
Your jQuery tabs are nice and all, but now we want to fill them with post content.
Our approach will be as follows:
- Create a new WP query for posts in a specific category (say “campus”).
- Loop through the jQuery tab navigation and content.
- Place post content in jQuery tabs.
Creating a new WP query is pretty simple. We’ll want to call wp_reset_query() just in case and then assign $displayposts to our new query. Make sure to include the category name (or ID or Slug) in your query so that it gets posts from the specific category.
