Introducing Publish Plus - Collaborative workflow for ExpressionEngine
For the last 6 months we’ve been developing a new ExpressionEngine extension called Publish Plus which greatly improves ExpressionEngine’s standard publishing workflow.
Publish Plus adds entry drafts, live in-template previews, workflow state, revision notes, advanced email notifications and then some to ExpressionEngine.

Building Campaign Monitor Part 2 - ExpressionEngine Template Groups
Templates are the presentation layer for ExpressionEngine sites. All of the front-end code, including XHTML and ExpressionEngine tags go in a template, and all of those templates, go in a template group (which is a kind of virtual folder). Template groups are the focus of this post, and we'll cover individual templates in the next one (that's if I've not been executed for pun-crimes against humanity in the meantime).

Building Campaign Monitor Part I - ExpressionEngine Weblogs
The easiest way to explain how we set up the weblogs for the Campaign Monitor site is to let everyone login to the back-end and have a look around - just promise not to delete anything. You can login with username: 'admin' and password: 'asif'. The second easiest way is to write a detailed overview (see below).

Building Campaign Monitor
Newism recently launched the new Campaign Monitor website - which so far is our biggest and most advanced project to date. Along the way we learned some fantastic things about building and deploying a major site, and rather than keep all of this amazing new learning to ourselves we've decided to share it via a multi-part blog series. Huzzah!

The New Campaign Monitor
Over the past three months, Newism have had the privilege of building not only the epic new Campaign Monitor website, but also a teaser site at http://www.thenewcampaignmonitor.com/.

ExpressionEngine weblog entry previews with LG Live Look
This tutorial will show you how to setup your ExpressionEngine templates to accommodate previewing of unpublished weblog entries inside the publish/edit form using LG Live Look.
LG Live Look is an ExpressionEngine extension that adds a new 'Live Look' tab to the publish/edit form in the control panel. The tab contains a preview of the last saved version of an entry, which can quickly be updated using the 'quick save' button.
LG Live Look also adds a link to the edit entries table for each entry row. The source of the tab content and the target of the link can be easily customised in the extension settings using a subset of standard {ee} template tag variables (a full list can be found in the documentation).

Using URL rewrites to make ExpressionEngine, Campaign Monitor & Google Analytics play nice
There are some .htaccess URL rewrite issues when tracking Campaign Monitor email campaigns using Google Analytics. The issues can be resolved by adding a simple rewrite before a tweaked remove index.php rule. In this post we present a step by step solution.

LG .htaccess Generator - Removing index.php from your ExpressionEngine site
One constant frustration I see new and experienced users expressing in the ExpressionEngine forums expressing is how do they easily remove the index.php from their ExpressionEngine site.
The first point of call is usually "Remove index.php From Urls" documentation in the ExpressionEngine Wiki which lists three main methods and their caveats. The three methods listed in the wiki are:
Each method has their good and bad points which are listed after the jump.
