In the last week, i decided to try to convert some wordpress themes to use with Bans. I wanted to do this, because of two reasons:
First I didn’t want to depend on others to get the themes i wanted to use on my wordpress/bans sites and secondly there is an high demand for this type of integration and very few themes available.
Every wise webmaster knows that the key to success involves keeping track of their websites statistics. So we use tools like awstats and google analytics.
Usually webmasters discuss which of these two provides the most accurate and pertinent data of our sites. Google analytics has advantage in many ways, but there are still strong supporters of awstats.
But forget these two… There is a more sophisticated tool for us to use. It is called Woopra.
What is woopra?
As they say in their website, woopra is:
The best private advertising platform or OIOPublisher for short :p has reached version 2. This new version comes along with a new designed website, that in my opinion kicks ass!
The price and the continued support and development makes the wordpress plugin the best investment you can ever make in your blog.
There are several new tweaks in this version but these are the ones worth
This Saturday, the first stable wordpress 2.5 was finally released. After some delays and two beta release candidates, wordpress as reached another new level.
I could mention the new features that come with the new version, and how awesome the new control panel was, but i won’t do that. First, im not in the mood for that, and second, my first impression on the new cpanel was not that good lol.
Last week, with the release of the final version of the options theme, i decided to upgrade to the wordpress RC-2 in order to properly use the new theme, which was WP 2.5 specific.
I have recently installed the plugin Show Top Commentators. I have configured this plugin to show the top 5 commentators of the month for now.
This is another cool tool to stimulate blog participation by visitors. Besides the do follow link on the comment, you will get featured on the plugin if you manage to reach the top five. Your name will be shown, linked to your Website.
IF this wasn’t enough for you, every month i will write a post giving some link love to my 5 top posters. That’s another link for your and free exposure 
Good evening fellow bloggers!
This has been a busy day for me. I have spent the last hours configuring the new design for the blog and updating the wordpress version of this blog.
A new version of the wordpress 2.5 has been released. It is in the RC-2 Version now. Still in beta though. But still, i decided to upgrade the blog. First i did a full backup of my hosting (a thing that i haven’t done in a long long time). Downloaded a backup of the blog’s database, checked for compatibility issues with some plugins i run here, and deactivated the problematic ones. Then i did the upgraded with no problems at all.
In a previous post, i have shared with you, a free privacy policy generator, because of the recent google adsense TOS change. Now, it is time to show you a nice wordpress plugin that ads a privacy policy to your blog.
The plugin is available from the Synclastic blog, and it is simple to use. Just install like any ordinary wordpress plugin and activate it.
Then you just need to create a privacy policy page. It is that simple.
Btw, do you have a privacy policy for all your sites using adsense? i don’t, lack of time is preventing me from doing that, but i will….
Many of us, bloggers, read other blogs, and post on them. And in that blog we give our email adress, name and blog address.
Well, if the blog has dofollow links, then this is a good strategy to run. We write, readers see our name and link to our blog and then they just might visit us, specially one important reader named google bot.
This helps getting our blog indexed, and might help increase search rankings.
Till now this is good, but it can get better. How?
9 WordPress Plugins to make your blog one step forward
The main objective of this list is to show you some plugins that usually don’t get nominated in these types of posts. When a blogger posts a list of wordpress plugins tends to write about the same old plugins with the occasional novelty.
Well, i am a plugin addict, and this blog uses 29 plugins!!! Yeah… i can’t help it! i know i shouldn’t have that many plugins but…. i want them! lol
All plugins below are used by me in this blog, and where chosen because in my opinion they aren’t to well advertised by the majority of my fellow bloggers:
