WordPress Tips

WordPress by nature has a strong SEO (search engine optimization) platform which helps tremendously with Google, Yahoo!, and MSN — to name a few of the large players in the search industry. As part of society, people use search engines to search for things and more often than not, they end up on someone’s blog — maybe even yours. But, as a Google user myself, I know that I don’t just use the web search feature. I also use the Google Images search feature to find things that are relevant for what I’m searching for. This is where “names have meaning” comes into play. When I’m writing an article for my blog, I usually have an image included somewhere in the article. I try to average an image in an article at least once every two or three articles. We’ll be using Google in all these examples because that’s what […]

As promised, here are the results of the possible performance enhancements that WordPress 2.1 has to offer. My disclaimers include the fact that these methods are mostly not very scientific and the server that this blog runs on also received a MySql upgrade before WordPress was upgraded. However, the results are stark enough that they still make a lot of sense. The above graph shows the processor statistics of this server over a period of a little over four weeks. These are 2 averages of RRD data, collected every five minutes by a custom written script. The little spikes at regular intervals is caused by a backup process that runs every night and is not unusual. The first large spike after the beginning of the fourth week (which is relevant) was caused by a large amount of data being backed up due to the upgrade. The actual upgrade was performed […]

Yahoo! Launches Pipes: Nik performs an in depth, albeit somewhat negatively jaded frustrated review of Yahoo! Pipes (which are clogged/down at the time of this post). The blogoshpere and the web20sphere is agog with analysis of this somewhat complex (or wait, was that somewhat simple) method of analyzing, cataloging and publishing web service data from anywhere and everywhere on the Internet. My take on it, without actually being able to use the application, is that the user interface is simple and the idea is very useful and attractive but it might not be designed/implemented with the average user in mind. I think Anil puts it very succintly: Pipes combines a remarkably sophisticated development environment with some core social features such as the ability to clone or share the web services you produce. The service is fairly approachable, but somewhat complex once you get just under the surface, and should be […]
