First day of results
I installed the Google Analyticator plugin to my Wordpress yesterday and added this site to my Google Analytics account. The first days results are in, though not staggering by any means. Again, I think it is right where I need to be for what I have done. Here are the stats from [...]
Internet Explorer IE Tab
Internet Explorer (IE) Tab is an add on for Firefox that easily allows you to view your website in IE while never leaving or Firefox or opening IE. It should use the version of IE that you have installed on your computer. Here is some info from the download page:
IE Tab – an [...]
Pro Blogger Widget Ready Theme IE 6 Sidebar Problem
My very nice pro blogger widget ready theme has the dreaded IE 6 Sidebar Problem. So whenever anyone looks at it from IE6, the sidebar will shoot down to the bottom of the screen. In Firefox it looks great. IE7 should be ok too, so I always hope and support people moving [...]
The Flood Gates are Opening
I have started to get a little drip of search engine traffic. Now, this site has been up for nearly a year with a wordpress installation on it, but I have only been using it for basically 1.5 weeks. I had a hit from a person searching for Permalink Redirect, and I ranked [...]
Spam Her, I Don’t Even Know Her
Every once in a while I cruise through the comments that Aksimet has held back, just to check and see if it has held anything back that wasn’t a spam. My site, The Real Taiwan gets the most spam out of any site I have, so I was going through recently and wanted [...]
Google Analyticator
Google Analyticator is a sweet Wordpress plugin that will help you get your Wordpress website set up so it can have all of its pages monitored by Google Analytics. Google Analytics is one of the best (and free) stats programs you can use. Really, I believe this. I also believe if you [...]
Hidden Affiliate Links
My first commenter and new friend from Patchlog has developed a plugin that I have been testing out. It all started after my post about changing the way the URL looks for your referral and affiliate links (while maintaining the link). I used it and it accomplished the same end as my way, [...]
Subscribe To Comments
Subscribe to comments is a Wordpress plugin that is very useful if you have a nice readership base that likes to comment. A community if you will. Of course, that is one of the goals I have of this site. I will make a list of the goals I set soon, and [...]
My Blog Log
I have signed up with a new service as you can see by the newest addition to the sidebar. My Blog Log allows you to check out my reader community. Some people even upload pictures and it has a more personal feeling about the visitors to the site. I don’t have [...]
Viral Tool
I have been checking out articles in the Blog Rush box on this site. Interesting stuff. I found this one site that was marketing a viral tool, and the site was very, very new, meaning it didn’t have many backlinks and no Google PR or Alexa ranking. Here was what the article [...]
Second helping of Spam
I got my second spam today. The dam is starting to crack. The only thing is, it was identical to the first. hahaha….
Writing Code in a Post with Postable
Both of the plugins that I tried didn’t work properly for me for some reason, and me being a little impatient, have decided not to ask them for help. It would take too long (perhaps an eternity, as plugin writers are barraged with requests for help).
I used this page, which is called [...]
Change Referral Affiliate Link URL
People are growing more savvy to the ways of the Internet, and many people don’t like being sold things, and especially if it means that you are going to get a cut of some of the pie. You can see when you put your cursor over a link if it has a referral id [...]
Google Code Prettify for Wordpress
Google Code Prettify for Wordpress is my second choice to put code snippets in the website so the guests of this website can see the code without the code bombing my site.
Instructions: Go to the site linked to above, then download, install, and activate the plugin on your site. Should be [...]
Dean’s Code Highlighter v1.2
Dean’s Code Highlighter is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to write code inside of your posts so that doesn’t get treated as code, you dig?
It is useful for people that want to show other people what code to use to execute functions, without bombing their websites. As such, I have installed this [...]
Blog Rush
I was cruising through the Digital Point Forums (where I have nearly completed 7 days of membership, and just realized they don’t allow images in the signature, which is rotten considering I spent a lot of time with the cool post2pic plugin last night), and saw a thread about Blog Rush. I am not [...]
Directories
Here is the first time I have tried to enter my blog into a directory of blogs. Wish me luck, The name of the directory is Blog Listings. They like to have a reciprocal link back. I don;t know how bad this is, as it is free.
My First Spam!
Spam is usually not a reason to celebrate, but your first is always a little emotional. It means you have grown up a bit. This site won’t be the same from this moment on. Here is a copy of the spam, which was advertising a black hat way of spamming comments for [...]
LastPosts2pic
LastPosts2pic is a cool plugin that does a little more than the Feedburner code I just made in the previous post. If you notice, it links to the feed. This plugin creates an animated GIF that links directly to your site, and you can change the amount of previous posts that are listed, [...]
Nofollow Tag, Comment Spam
One of the biggest nuisances is spam on blogs. I use Aksimet for Wordpress blogs, the free service that only requires your API key. I used a program called SPam Karma2 before and it was decent too, but I figured since I have been changing things around, I would change that too. [...]
