I just hope that the new core will not break my current theme and modules so much.

In some case, Akismet becomes too strict and even detect proper comment as spam. So it is good idea to seldom check your spam comments.

Both of them are commercial but they work great. From my research over the net, WP-Robot is worth to try. WP-Robot can grab contents according to specific ‘tags’. That’s really awesome way to start an automatic niche blog. Besides that, WP-Robot is the best plugin for moneytization. Not only RSS feed, you can choose to insert Youtube video, Yahoo answers, Clickbank and E-Bay products too.

If you are really interested with autoblog, you should aware of certain issues. Firstly, autoblog generated duplicate contents that is hated by search engine. If you don’t tweak the generated contents manually, you may suffer to get organic traffics. So you still need to put a lot of efforts in driving traffics to your autoblog manually. Remember, no traffics, no money.

The most important, all of the contents at your autoblog are not yours. And will never be yours. If the contents owner decided to take law action, then there is nothing that you can do. If you want to play safe, at least use whois privacy or use fake identity at your whois.

The basic of SEO

There is a few things that we need to take care in order to get high ranking in search engine. Common important things is url (website adress) and title.

By default, your post title and url is the same. However you can change the url to suit your needs. For SEO purpose, your url should be short in length and must contain the keywords that you want to optimize. In this post, I decided to optimize the words ‘All in One Seo Pack’.

Using all in one seo pack to change title

By default, the title of your post is the same as the title that will appear at your browser. For seo purpose, this is a waste since search engine (especially Google) really like something unique and different. Luckily, we have all in one seo pack here.

You can change the title according to your like. This is a tip for you. The title and description that you enter here will be visible in search engine results. So the title and description that you provide should have powerful and convincing words that will make visitor click on it. Otherwise, your high ranking in search engine means nothing.

Optimize your title with all in one seo pack

This blog is purely focus on web hosting and related stuff. So, I need to put the keyword ‘web hosting’ as much as I can in order to get high ranking in search engine for related keywords.

That’s why I am using this great plugin to change my Title structure and fill it with ‘web hosting’ keyword.

Besides All in One SEO Pack, there is also another WordPress plugin for SEO purpose that is called Platinum SEO Pack. If you haven’t done any SEO optimization at your blog, start it now.

There is nothing to regret.

After upgrading to version 2.9 of WordPress, I realized that the posts that I scheduled will have miss schedule issue. Lucky because there is a temporary fix for this issue.

By using ‘Miss In Action‘ plugin, you do not need to worry about miss schedule anymore because this plugin will make sure that your post is published at the same time with the schedule.

Another way is by going to your WordPress installation folder and go to wp-includes/cron.php.

Change the 0.01 from the code below to 1.

wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

I hope WordPress is finding solution for the permanent fix of this issue.

Below is the step to manage your feeds using feedburner.

1. Make your feedburner account (go to Feedburner Dot Com)

2. Write down your direct feed address. Or you can also write down your home address and feedburner will display the related feeds for your site. You just need to choose the appropriate feed.

3. Then, give your feed its title and feedburner address

You need to be remind that in order for subscriber to be subscribe using feedburner, they need to use the feedburner address, not your website feed address (however, you can redirect user that user your web feed address to the feedburner address).

4. Summary burner

Default, feedburner provide full feed to the subscriber. That’s mean subscriber can view your overall post just using RSS reader without the need to go to your webpage or blog. If you don’t want this, you can provide them with just summary of your feeds.

5.  Chicklet Chooser

• In order to encourage people to subscribe feed, most webmaster put RSS icon that link to the feedburner subscribtion page.
• If you feel too lazy to make your own RSS icon, you can just use this chicklet chooser to find the suitable icon and put the code inside your web page.
• For WordPress user, you just need to copy the snippet code into a widget. So easy.

6. E-mail Subscription

Some reader still unaware of RSS or feeds. Thus, email subscription might be a good way to make them subscribe. Just put the snippet code into webpage and you will get email subscription form just like mine.

Good lucks!

However, a few bad things can happen by making your blog dofollow.

• Your blog will become the target of spammer that only want increase their backlinks
• As the result, you will be disappointing by the bad value of comment that they leave.

Lucia’s Linky Love save your day

Lucky for you because by using this dofollow wordpress plugin from bickbucksblogger, you can avoid your blog by turning into a link farm. How?

Using this plugin, you can choose to:

1. Only make certain author link as dofollow once the it achieve the number of comments that set (from 3 to 10).
2. Only make short name as dofollow. For your concern, most of spammer like to use long name. So, don’t give them a chance.

Afterall, this plugin will really help you to get trustworthy returning visitors and not just somebody that stopby for their own benefits.

All in One Seo pack is  good but the bad thing is you can’t change the permalink of any post. If you do, the corresponding post will not appear in search engine results anymore due to the different adress.

By using Platinum Seo Pack, changing permalink is not a problem anymore since this plugin will automatically create 301 redirection from the old link to the new one.

One thing to remember, you could not use both plugins at the same time. Do not worry, Platinum Seo Pack will automatically use all of your All in One Seo Pack settings.

Ps: I am still sticking with All in One Seo Pack.

The shockest thing of wordpress 2.7 also known as coltrane is its new interface. I like this new interface much more since I can reduce my clicks to do something. This is done by the placing of control panel features at the left sidebar.

Blogger always want something simple as a blogging platform, thus make wordpress  as a choice compare to Joomla or other CMS.

In wordpess coltrane, wordpress once again make thing simple by adding quick press feature. Now blogger can reduce a click to add a new simple post that doesn’t need extra editing or styling (since there is no editor at the quick press feature).

RB-internal links problem

After upgrading, I am having problem with the html editor. Luckily the problem solved once I deactivated all of wordpress plugins and activated it again one by one. Lastly, I detected that the culprit is RB-internal links, the plugin that I used the most.

I feel so bad to say goodbye to my precious buddy.
