Flutter: Basic Usage
We are continuing our Freshout Flutter tutorials by covering the basics of creating Write Panels, Custom Fields and methods of printing those Custom Fields. This tutorial makes the general assumption that the Flutter plugin has been downloaded and successfully installed within a WordPress plugins folder.

To start the tutorial we need to cover the basic concept...

First we will be working on the log-in screen, removing the WordPress branding and altering the link, the admin Dashboard where we will alter the smaller WordPress ghost branding and lastly we will take a look at the footer.php...
Six Interesting iPhone Apps you have probably already heard about from another web site.
iPhone apps are everywhere these days and the market is currently overflowing with millions of these tiny, untouchable applications. The closest comparison I see this flood of apps is the height of the Atari 2600 era. Any game that could be developed was, the target market for games was unclear, the hype was through the roof and the market became so saturated with these games that the gaming economy was declared bust.
It's difficult to visit the office next door without apps sneaking their way into the conversation at some point, granted the neighbors run a software company but that's beside the point. Just about every company is...
