A couple of days ago I wrote a simple tutorial on how you can separate trackbacks from comments. This tutorial didnt do much with the presentation as it only displayed the trackbacks below the comments. In this article I’ll describe an easy way to create different tabs for comments and trackbacks. You see this tabbed layout being used in a lot of Wordpress themes lately as it is a clean way of presenting comments and trackbacks separately.
Hotlinking is a term used when an image hosted on your webserver is linked on another website. Every time the image is viewed on that other website it is loaded from your webserver. This is a bad thing because is uses your (precious) bandwith and creates server load on your webserver without you actually benefiting from it.
There are however ways to prevent this from happing.
So, you want to show general statistics on your blog or want to know data about your visitors. Then you are probably looking for ways on how to gather and / or display these statistics. Well, you have come to the right place. In this article I’ll be giving a lot of suggestions for plugins and webservices that can help you with these statistics. The suggestions are divided up into three categories, the first is about showing statistics to your visitors and the second is about obtaining statistics on these visitors for the sake of improving your blog. The third are plugins that can do both.
It happens now and then that I write an article in Wordpress using basic HTML to format my text which I then want to post on a forum as well. As most of you know forums use different tags for formatting text called BBCode. Most forums have a rich text editor that will take over the right formatting when pasting in the formatted text. When a rich text editor is not available extra actions are required to take over the right formatting. To get the same layout on a forum topic you will have to reformat the text using BBCode tags. Instead of doing this by hand there are tools out there that can automate this job and save you some of your precious time. Below is a list of resources that get this job done.
In this article I’ll describe various methods of creating and adding a favicon to your website or Wordpress blog. Below is a short explaination on what a favicon is for those who are unfamiliar with the term.
A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. Webdesigners or bloggers can add such an icon to their website. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address bar and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks.
There are a lot of resources for finding a favicon that suits your website or blog if you don’t want to create one yourself. Here are a couple of websites that supply download ready favicons.
This article describes a way of separating trackbacks from comments in your Wordpress theme when you are using Wordpress 2.7+. I have noticed that a lot of tutorials on the internet that explain how this is done are based on older versions of Wordpress. These tutorials don’t work anymore because Wordpress uses a different way of displaying comments now. This new way makes it easier to separate trackbacks from comments but the outdated tutorials can be very confusing for inexperienced users who want to separate trackbacks from comments in their own Wordpress theme and rely on these tutorials.
If you don’t know the difference between comments and trackbacks but you have become interested, please read this first before you read on.
At the time of writing Wordpress by default (in the default theme) does not separate trackbacks from regular comments. When kept together the trackbacks are shown as links and snippets of text in the same list as the actual comments posted by users. Separating the two can greatly improve the user experiences for the people who comment or read the comments on your blog and it looks much cleaner in your theme as well. You see more and more theme designers are implementing this feature in their themes but I think it should be done by default. If you run Wordpress 2.7+ and you want to separate the trackbacks from the comments in your own them then follow the instructions below.
Link directory plugins for Wordpress will create a list of the links and/or link categories you have defined in the links section of the Wordpress administration panel. These lists can be shown on pages and/or posts. On another website of mine use a link directory plugin for the list of free webdesign resources on the internet.
Here are a couple of free and commercial link directory plugins that I have evaluated in my own search of a good link directory plugin.
