Pligg - A digg.com clone

Posted by admin On February - 18 - 2008

Lately i have seen lots of new social bookmarking sites. The reason is that there are several free scripts that allow us, fast, free and easily to create a social bookmarking driven site.

One of those scripts, is Pligg. It is a free CMS (content management system), it is open source and powered by a php/mysql.

This script, besides allowing the webmaster to manage a digg like site, joins the power of CMS.

The script is at version 9.9 beta, meaning that the community is active and constantly releasing new features, mods, templates.

Unfortunately, there are many social bookmark sites around these days. Competition is some what high, but there is still space available… And some money to be made ;)

Creating mini sites - Part 1 - Software to use

Posted by admin On December - 22 - 2007

Hello! As mentioned yesterday, im going to start a series of “how to create a mini site”. I have covered this subject a few times, and showed you how to create them using some scripts or software like Commonsense CMS, Rssmini 1.3, HyperVRE (which promised to be a great tool but in fact sucked).

I have 2 new tools to try out. But for now let’s stick with one. I really hope this new tool is way better than the previous ones. This tool takes in consideration that it helps you creating a mini site easy and fast, but it does not help you create the content. It’s up to you to create the content. Don’t fall in temptation to copy other site content and don’t use rss feed to fill you pages. Use your own created content, your own words.

So, what tool am i talking about?

19pages. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a software created by the guys at 45n5 that will help you deploy a mini site real easy, real fast!

So 19 pages? yeah, the software is limited to 20 pages and 19 articles. It’s a mini site…. it is not supposed to have many pages! :p

Here is a quick presentation of the software:

19 pages
So what’s good about it?

  1. It’s easy to install. Just upload to your host, edit the config.php file and there is no need for a database.
  2. It’s easy to use. You have only what you need for. A place to write your articles and a place to add tags.
  3. SEO friendly

All right now that we have a software to use, the next step is finding the niche mini site we want to use. And for that we need to do some keyword researching.

That, my friends, i’ll leave it for Creating mini sites - Part 2. Stay tuned ;)
