WordPress google map plugin

Posted by in Wordpress plugin on August 27th, 2009

Here’s a cool plugin that I will use. This plugin allows you to add multiple addresses to a post/page and have those addresses automatically plotted on a Google Map in a sidebar widget or directly in the post/page. This is a great plugin to help localize your stories, events, news, etc. Hovering over a plot will display the title of the post, address, and also a thumbnail from the post if any images exist. Easily add and delete a single or multiple addresses to each post/page. Viewing a single post/page displays only addresses attached to that post/page, viewing anything else will show the most recent plots across your entire site. You can also set a custom title and description for each address saved. If no title or description is entered the post title and excerpt will be used.

How to enable mod_rewrite on Apache

Posted by in Apache on August 25th, 2009

Apache by default comes with the mod_rewrite module but it is not enabled. So your Apache’s mod_rewrite is most probably not enabled. To enable it find the httpd.conf file, usually in a folder called conf in your Apache folder. In the file uncomment this line:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

by removing the pound ‘#’ sign from in front of the line.

Restart your Apache for it to take effect. If it’s not working try restarting your computer.

Submit to directories

Posted by in Increase traffic on August 19th, 2009

Here are some tips on doing directory submissions:

Find directory that have high PageRank.
Find directory that gave you link. Check their source code. It should not contains “nofollow”tag.
Use keyword on the link that is pointing to your website.
If the directory has high PageRank, consider paying fee if you have the budget to get yourwebsite on their featured websites list. You will have instant backlink from high PageRank toyour website.

Here’s my top 50 directory:

Submit to search engine

Posted by in Increase traffic on August 17th, 2009

Some people said that they can list their/your website in Google under 24 hour. This can be done easily. Index in Google means, our website is in Google’s database. You can find out by searching your domain name at Google. If you haven’t find any result, that means that the website is not in Google index.

You can add your website at Google by submitting it at http://www.Google.com/addurl.html.
This is Google’s actual website submission form. They state that you can use this form to submit your website to their index of websites and it can take up to 6 weeks for your website to be placed into their index. So how do you get listed in 24 hour?

You need to search website with high PageRank. Higher pagerank means, that they are visited by Google more often. Your website will be listed in Google more quickly, if the high PageRank website links to you.
Besides submitting it to Google, you should also submit to Yahoo, and MSN, the other two big search engine.You can easily submit to various search engine using SubmitExpress.com.

WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release

Posted by in Wordpress on August 16th, 2009

A word from WordPress.org:

Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

We fixed this problem last night and have been testing the fixes and looking for other problems since then. Version 2.8.4 which fixes all known problems is now available for download and is highly recommended for all users of WordPress.
