 Enhance your blog posts with Yahoo! Shortcuts.

Enhance your blog posts with Yahoo! Shortcuts.

As you type the content for your blog post, this plugin looks for Flickr Photos, Maps to any locations that you might mention in the post, any products that are listed or even related news to your blogs post.

If your content regularly mentions some companies regularly, Yahoo shortcuts can bring up latest financial information related to that company.

Relevant search results would also come up for certain terms like in the image shown UNIX Pipes would pop up a Yahoo shortcut with relevant contextual search results. Some bloggers may find some shortcuts annoying and irrelevant to their blogs content, but some might really find it useful. It all depends on what you blog about. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah as always I am one complete day late to know about the new release of wordpress. Its really cool. I just downloaded and installed it. As its famous for its 5 minutes install; it has great new features and a neat and clean interface, I think a hundred times better than the previous version thats 2.3 if I am not wrong (2.3.3), yeah I just checked as I am writing this post on the old platform and I just needed to scroll down this post window (my wordpress blog is an auto install by Fantastico provided by my host in Cpanel)

Anyhow right now I am playing with the latest version (2.5) and its simply awesome.

See the difference. Its just obvious. Its on full page for this blog post. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you social on the web?

Do you wanna be social? Are you social on the web? Is your website in accordance with the “social” requirements as laid out by the web 2.0 standard. Do you want to say “yeah” but are afraid of saying it as it might be wrong as you still dont know what exactly 2.0 is. OK, let me add something (thats not new off course but clarifies a little about the social aspect of the web). The web 2.0 is about the usability factor of the web. Sites like Flickr and Google calendar are a very good example of usability. Both have social factors about them. Like on Flickr, people can comment on your photos, photos that you want to share. Also you can post photos to your blog right from your Flickr account and there are dozens of good services that can be integrated with Flickr through an API provided by Flickr. It uses AJAX for making it more usable but yeah the Social Factor like submitting your photos to public groups of similar interests make it Read the rest of this entry »

Check my latest quote “A wordpress theme a day doesn’t keeps a geek away! “, yeah off course to serve my fellow wordpress community and my loving wordpress blogging engine. All the wordpress geeks a very well aware of the fact that how cool wordpress theming can be, I would rather boast there is no better theming engine for blogs out there. Anyone with normal PHP understanding can easily customize a theme for their blog or even get a pre-done template and convert it into wordpress theme with few easy steps.

Search Engine Optimization: Five Wordpress Plugins To Make It Easier

1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (No Ratings Yet)
Loading ... Loading ...
December20

Letting the world know about your blog is one of the trickier aspects of starting a new blog or getting people notice one that you’ve been working on. This is so-called search engine optimization or SEO. Google is the most obvious target for these efforts as it dominates the search market and is the default search engine for popular browsers like Firefox. Moreover of you open up the browser and you have nothing particular in mind, the most probable site you type in address bar is google.com yeah I know it ;). Google rules the SEO tech world and everybosy wants to be in google SERPS (Search engine result pages).  Working around the rules that keep Google and other search engines relevant is arcane at best and at worst will result in your sites being demoted in relevance or delisted entirely. Yep that happens. I have learnt it from my best and worst SEO experiences. There are many theorists and companies that indulge in this sort of speculation and some are more successful than others at nudging search results in the ways they desire them to.

Well guys (not to mention the girls) ,  SEO is what can be called the  ” The most desirable feature/quality (whatever you name it) of a website. To me there are two points about SEO.

  •  More and more incoming links to your blog/site.
  • neat clean directory like URLs for your pages.
  • No redirections.
  • Table less structure to ensure search engines see the text version of your site easily and dont get confused with the text formating on your sit. ( Yeah its important!)
  • Quality /niche oriented / keyword specific content on a page.
