Testing edocr WordPress Plugin

Published by ManojRanaweera on October 26, 2013

Let’s see how this renders by simply adding the edocr Document URL http://www.edocr.com/doc/110658/white-paper-how-get-started-skilled-trade, which then uses #oEmbed – same plugin displays the document thumbnails on the right hand side bar Above was not good. Let’s try again… http://www.edocr.com/doc/110658/white-paper-how-get-started-skilled-trade Ok, it seems the URL has to be on its own. Need to fix the width.

Introducing my latest gig – LiveStax

Published by ManojRanaweera on October 9, 2013

I have been itching to share my involvement with Livestax, and this seems to be the best forum to announce it. I was brought in by Phil Brown, the founder and CEO of UK’s leader in software for the construction industry to help commercialise Livestax, a new product incubated as a startup inside a mature tech company.
