I recently wrote an article that explained how to configure permalinks in WordPress. In that article, I go over a few different reasons why you would want to use pretty permalinks instead of using the default linking structure. Well, Ted Clayton published an article that took the other side of the permalinks argument. Ted goes into detail on why and how WordPress uses the default linking structure and explains that it’s not as bad as some would make you think. It’s an excellent read and I thank Ted for bringing up the other side of the equation. There is, in truth, a maze of trade-offs & counterpoints involved in selecting a strategy & tactics for making nicer, people-friendly URLs, for each & every website. Yes, many typical blog-sites will be able to adopt typical, easily-identified Permalink configurations. In the end, though, only you can do it right for your site. […]
[Continue Reading...]WPTEX: Turn you wordpress blog into a pdf ebook using LaTeX Now I wrote my Masters Thesis in Microsoft Word and I would rather pull my hair out one at a time than do that again. However, I bring that up because I jealously watched as the other cohorts of my MS class put together their thesis with LaTeX with relative ease and perfect formatting. WPTeX will let you publish your blog as a PDF eBook using LaTeX and includes a lot of very cool features such as auto indexing and TOC generation. It is released under the GPL I will have to show this to my blogging dad who will love to have an eBook made out of his blog on research of health and wellness!
[Continue Reading...]Calais which is a metadata generation web service that is powered by Reuters is offering up a $5,000.00 bounty to anyone who can develop a plugin that meets the following criteria. Tag auto suggestion: Using the content of the blog entry the plugin will provide a list of suggested semantic tags. For example, if the post talks about company “a” buying company “b” the plugin would suggest “Acquisition”, “Company A” and “Company B” as potential tags Semantic cloud: We all love tag clouds and we’d like to take it a step further. The plugin should support the generation of a configurable semantic tag cloud of entities and facts derived from the blog’s content GUID Incorporation: The Calais web service returns a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for each document submitted. The plugin should modify the RSS feed for the site to incorporate the GUID in a TBD location. Calais looks like […]
[Continue Reading...]According to an advisory released by Packetstorm, a fellow by the name of g30rg3_x has discovered two bugs within Dean’s Permalinks Migration Plugin version 1.0. The first bug relates to XSRF and can allow an attacker to force a user to perform an unsolicited action that when combined with an XSS bug that has also been discovered, allows the attacker to gain valid credentials. g30rg3_x actually provides a detailed explanation into the problem: Since the variable $dean_pm_config[‘oldstructure’] its not correctly sanitized (when retrieving), this allow any user to store/save “malicious code” inside the database and later be injected this “malicious code” when the data is retrieved. Using the XSRF as a “combo” we can create crafted pages that will force users to conduct this injection and steal some valid credentials to the WordPress based CMS. g30rg3_x has tried to contact the author of the plugin but has not had any […]

[Continue Reading...]Mobile Phone Optimized WordPress: Thanks to a tip from Amit, I found a quick and painless way to optimize a WordPress blog (or any blog with a feed for that matter) for use with a mobile phone. The trick is to use Google’s excellent mobile news readers to display your blog. The resulting content is not only lightning fast, it is also well formatted and relatively easy to navigate. To see for yourself, craft the following URI in your browser. http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/feed/[Your Feed URI] This is the optimized mobile version of Weblog Tools Collection. Once you have the feed, just create a link on your blog for readers to follow and/or bookmark. Of note is the excellent WordPress Mobile plugin from Alex for those who like a one stop shop.
[Continue Reading...]Deconstructed WP admin theme: Read about this new admin theme on BloggingPro and had to check it out. Deconstructed is a highly minimalistic simple theme for the WordPress backend that is focussed on responsiveness and cleanliness. The menu highlight is a little bright for my taste (as has been noted by others) but the theme is worth a looksee. Installation is simple via a plugin and the author welcomes changes and modifications to the original theme.
[Continue Reading...]Netenberg has released version 2.10.4 r12 of their popular one click install package called Fantastico De Luxe. Fantastico De Luxe is the most widely used application installer throughout the webhosting industry. One of the reasons why it is so popular is that it gives users the ability to skip the process of uploading files and configuring databases and instead, replaces the process with a much simpler one step process. Many WordPress installations have been performed through Fantastico. However, there are a few disadvantages when installing WordPress in this fashion. First, when WordPress releases an update, the folks at Netenberg have to go through the update and add it into the new version of Fantastico. The amount of time this takes can vary, but I believe if the release contains significant security patches, the Netenberg team tries their best to get the update out as soon as possible. Another disadvantage is […]
