<p>Sometimes you want to change the way wordpress search works, for example you want it to force to search pages only or just posts. The code for that would be something like this</p>
<pre class="brush: php">
//Search only pages
function is_type_page() {
global $post;
if ($post-&gt;post_type == &#039;page&#039;) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}

//Search only posts
function is_type_post() {
global $post;
if ($post-&gt;post_type == &#039;post&#039;) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
</pre>
<p>Then in the search page, i.e search.php just use this code</p>
<pre class="brush: php">while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if (is_type_post()) continue;
</pre>
<p>Above code will restrict search to the pages only. Similarly you can restrict pages to be excluded from search with the following code</p>
<pre class="brush: php">while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if (is_type_page()) continue;</pre>
<p>Hope that helps <img src='http://www.fahdmurtaza.com/myblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>According to the <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=204600713&amp;subSection=News" title="Russia's SUP Acquires LiveJournal Blogging Service" target="_blank">news  resource</a>, &#8220;<em>The hosted blogging service, which has 14 million users worldwide, was purchased from San Francisco&#8217;s Six Apart.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="articleBody"> One-year-old Russian online media company SUP on Monday announced that it has acquired LiveJournal &#8212; a hosted blogging service that counts millions of users in the U.S. and around the world. SUP bought the service from Six Apart, a San Francisco-based startup that began offering LiveJournal in 2005 after acquiring its developer, Danga Interactive.</p>
<p>Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.</p>
<p><span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>SUP&#8217;s acquisition of LiveJournal stems from an existing partnership between the company and <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=184417170">Six Apart</a>. In October 2006, SUP struck a licensing agreement with Six Apart to offer LiveJournal in Russia. Since then, use of LiveJournal in the country has flourished. Russian bloggers account for 28% of the software&#8217;s 14 million users, according to Six Apart.</p>
<p>As part of the transaction, SUP plans to establish a new operating unit called LiveJournal. It said it would announce a management team in the coming weeks. SUP will also install a LiveJournal advisory board that will include Danga Interactive founder Brad Fitzpatrick, who now works forGoogle (NSDQ:  <a href="http://www.techweb.com/financialCenter/index.jhtml?Account=techweb&amp;Page=QUOTE&amp;Ticker=GOOG" target="_blank" class="stockLink">GOOG</a>).</p>
<p>Two seats on the advisory board will be reserved for members of the &#8220;LiveJournal community,&#8221; according to SUP. The seats will be awarded on the basis of open, online elections and will rotate, the company said.</p>
<p>SUP was founded in 2006 by American investor Andrew Paulson and Aleksandr Mamut, widely seen as one of Russia&#8217;s so-called &#8220;new oligarchs&#8221; and a Kremlin insider. SUP &#8220;set itself the goal of building a portfolio of high-traffic-generating projects based in Moscow from which to expand worldwide,&#8221; a company statement said.</p>
<p>Beyond LiveJournal, SUP operates Championat.ru, one of the top three sports and entertainment sites on Russia&#8217;s Internet, online advertising service provider SOL, and Victory SA &#8212; another online ad agency.</p>

<p class="intro">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="pad">OK! here I am with something new about blogging. Yeah its sketchcasting. I am sure this word is soon going to be added in standard dictionary as the idea has got the power to get success. By the time, I hope you have got the idea that sketchcasting is a word composed of sketch and casting. Means sketchcasting promises the casting of sketch. Casting in the the form of blog offcource. OK here is what official site says&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;<em><a href="http://www.sketchcasting.net/">Sketchcasting</a> is a fresh entry in the world of blogging, introduced by <a href="http://sketch.basement.org/">Richard Ziade</a></em>&#8221;</p>
<p>As the name suggests, Sketchcasting brings Sketching and Casting together. The process enables the blogger to present an idea, thought, plan or anything they want in an illustrative manner; means storyboarding your ideas more easily, more effectively. And best of all, present them to the worl. Publishing of sketches and storyboards more easy way!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Sketchcasting throws open brilliant possibilities.&#8221;</em>, the site boasts and yeah I see the tech going high in the market right now. However the site adds with the previous statement, <em>&#8220;Through this site we attempt to bring together, the concept of Sketchcasting with all its Pros and Cons, along with feasible solutions.&#8221;</em>Anyhow  I am much excited about the technology.</p>
<h2>So what Sketchcasting  is really all about?</h2>
<p>Not a big deal, yeah, sketchcasting is &#8221; <em>“draw-as-you-talk” blogging with whiteboards.</em>&#8221; as defined by Richard himself. &#8220;<em> It’s podcasting with a sketchpad!</em>.&#8221; So here is a youtube video that describes what this is all about.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fahdmurtaza.com/myblog/2007/11/20/sketchcasting-a-new-way-to-blog.html"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/xux9eiWUiSs/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p class="post" id="post-5">
<h2>Why Sketch Casting</h2>
<p class="entry">
<ol>
<li>It is ideal for bloggers who have to bring forward a difficult or complex idea. A text presentation may run the risk of confusing the audience. For instance, one can use it to introduce a new idea that will be difficult to understand otherwise.</li>
<li>An animated look, adds to the entertainment value without reducing the significance of the matter.</li>
<li>The visual effect holds on the attention of the audience longer and makes a deep impact.</li>
<li>More fun to work with rather then typing texts.</li>
<li>There is no need have any artistic skills, a person who can write can also draw in a tablet PC.</li>
<li>Writing a post can take more time selecting the right words etc or one has to hire a professional writer whereas it’s easier and quicker in case of Sketchingcasting, if you have the materials ready in hand.</li>
</ol>
<p>But still there are still some negative aspects of it.</p>
<ol>
<li>Equipments required to carry out the entire process can add upto a lot, particularly the tablet PC. A cheaper version of tablet PC can serve as a way out. Settle for it, if Sketchcasting benefits you in more than one way and getting it on your blog cuts down your effort to a great extent.</li>
<li>Drawing with mouse is difficult even for the expert bloggers.  To make things smooth go for a<strong> digipen/pad</strong> that’s much cheaper and makes drawing simpler.  You can also use it instead of a Tablet PC.</li>
<li> While for SEO purposes sketchcasting doesn’t do any good since Google doesn’t index videos yet.  <strong>One way to negate the damage is to repeat the information in a text form.</strong></li>
<li>Some viewers skim through a particular post to check if it’s of any use to them or no. This obviously may not be the case with a Sketchcasting unless the viewer lets the video download completely and then fastforwards in between.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Where Sketchcasting can be beneficial and where it should be used?</h2>
<ol>
<li>Solving Math Problems (yeah how easy it is that way, I am gonna give this tip to my old math tutor)</li>
<li>Business Strategy and Planning</li>
<li>Football or any other Sports game plans</li>
<li>Comic strips</li>
<li>Online Tutorials (the best way!)</li>
<li>Instructional Blogs  (Off course)</li>
</ol>
<h2>OK I am ready for Sketchcasting; what do I need to Sketchcast? (How to Sketch Cast)</h2>
<p><strong>Tools Required</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Microphone with speakers: Blogger can vocally explain the series of sketches for better understanding.</li>
<li>Screen casters: To record your activity in the PC.</li>
<li>Drawing Progam: Lets you do all the illustration similar to a white board.</li>
<li>Tablet PC: The drawing program and recording will be executed on it.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Procedure</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Draw your idea using the drawing program with the speakers on for explaining the process.</li>
<li>Record the activity with a screencaster of your choice and save it as an avi file.</li>
<li>Finally, upload it on youtube or whatever other video hosting site you prefer.</li>
<li>Then simply add the link on your blog directing to the video.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://sketch.basement.org/">Richard</a> has explained in his second Sketch Cast video</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fahdmurtaza.com/myblog/2007/11/20/sketchcasting-a-new-way-to-blog.html"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/6c6f-FYSNPY/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p><em> Anyhow keep your fingers crossed, I think there is much to do on this very technology (hmm I think it is right now a concept. There needs something to be done in order to make it easier and fun with little hassles.) . Keep thinking and keep working Richard, youare going to get something great done in the near future (my smart forecast! <img src='http://www.fahdmurtaza.com/myblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></p>
