Speak out against SOPA and PIPA
01.18.12
SOPA and PIPA, two versions of similar legislation currently being debated in the House and Senate, respectively, are dangerous and potentially ruinous pieces of legal code. If passed, these bills could effectively create an internet blacklist and improperly censor sites you use every day without due process. It is also a threat to internet and new media innovation and jobs in America and the world over.
Social Ink stands against SOPA and PIPA. We hope you’ll take five minutes to call your Senators and Representatives to speak out against this dangerous legislation. Google is also organizing a petition which should be an effectively large action to join.
Introducing Simple Stripe Payments WordPress Plugin – Accept Stripe Payments for Contributions, Donations and Subscription Payments

Hope you all had a happy New Year! We also took the last week for a well-deserved break, but it doesn’t mean we aren’t hard at work bringing new and exciting products to the WordPress community. We’re happy to introduce …
Announcing Custom Post Type Images WordPress Plugin
12.20.11
We’re delighted to announce our latest plugin, Custom Post Type Images, for WordPress (tested from 3.0 onwards)! WP has made adding and registering custom post types very easy, moving the platform toward further CMS status. However as all these types have emerged, there lacks a way to attach an image and call it in your custom post type archive or even a single post or page. Enter cptImages!
Microsite Design and Development: Best Practices
12.08.11
With the recent launch of FEX’s No Small Change targeted giving Microsite, we’ve given kicking around many thoughts (and late nights!) to designing and developing effective and action-oriented microsites.
But, you may ask, what is a “microsite”?
Microsites are 1-3 page sites that often focus on a specific goal or campaign. They are often time-sensitive and highlight a critical initiative or upcoming decision or campaign that requires immediate action. Many times, microsites will serve as a kind of sidecar to an organization’s main web platform–by offering a peripherally branded yet unique identity which generates excitement and action around your cause, event, or project.
We’ve developed a list of Best Practices for Designing and Developing Microsites. Read the full list, after the jump!

In our latest collaboration, we developed a microsite for the No Small Change targeted fundraising drive. This project connects grantees, donors, and activists to foster interest among these vital groups.

Many Thanks from Social Ink!

Thoughts on the True Cost of Spec Work
11.08.11
This week we took a special detour here at Social Ink as we celebrated moving into our new offices with a trip down memory lane into the early days of our web development shop. We recalled our early email lists, our cold calls, and above all, our recourse to the haunted and vaunted, the infamous and inchoate Craigslist “computer gigs” board. The board is broadly divided into two parts: the pay and no-pay sections, the latter a littered zone of bad ideas, broken dreams and every web developer’s nightmare: spec work.
What’s spec work, and why is it a corrosive force in our field?
