Super Secret Wordpress Download Counter

Switch-Case has found a super secret Wordpress download counter.

WordPress Plugin: RSS DFirefox

RSS DFirefox shows the Mozilla Firefox download counter by using an XML parser to read the RSS feed of the counter.

WordPress Plugin: Firefox Counter

Photo Matt has written a plugin to display the new Firefox download counter.

WordPress Plugin: Spread Firefox

Spread Firefox allows you to promote Firefox and Thunderbird with the least amount of trouble. You can choose between different types of promotional methods and select the one best suited for your needs. Currently there’s support for:
  • Banners - This mode displays random banner ads that you select. Design a banner campaign that gets your message across.
  • Popups - Similar to the banners but now displayed in an annoying popup.
  • Internet Explorer Alert bar - Similar to the one used in Firefox when a popup is blocked.
  • Show a subtle message at the top of each page.
  • Download counter - Displays a custom message with the official Firefox download counter.

Firefox 2.0 Officially Released

Incase for some reason you did not know, Firefox 2.0 has been officially released. While up on their FTP a little early, their Get Firefox page was not updated until a day or two ago.
As is the usual case, people who like Firefox say it is the best, and people that don’t know any better are now using IE7 as their browser of choice.

Some changes that happened in Firefox 2.0 might confuse some people, but I think it is just a slight evolution of what I have in Firefox 1.5 with a few plugins.
Integrated into the default install now are things like Improved Tabbed Browsing (with a close tab X on each tab) and Session Restore.

WordPress 2.3.1 Released

In case you hadn’t already heard, the quickly released update to WordPress has been released. If you have been holding out for a point release of the new WordPress 2.3 for them to solve some bugs, this is your chance.
They have fixed over twenty bugs, including some security issues.
Here are some of the key fixes:
  • Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
  • Fixes for a login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than their WordPress Address
  • Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
  • Link importer fixes

I really wish this wasn’t also a security release, but that’s how it is sometimes, so please, if you are using WordPress 2.2 or 2.3, it is time to upgrade again.

Drupal 5.0 Released

little more than a week ago, Drupal 5.0 was finally released. It is a pretty revolutionary release for the Drupal team, and it also marked their sixth birthday. With over 492 people submitting contributions to 5.0, they seem to still have a strong community behind them and continue to make waves in the content management world.

Two important changes include:
Web-based installer: added web-based installer that checks run-time requirements and that supports pre-made install profiles or distributions with better support for database table prefixes. It is also localizable.

Core theme: introduced a new default core theme, called Garland (and a fixed width version Minnelli). Garland uses the new color module to change the theme’s entire color scheme on the fly.

Garland has received much attention since people were able to get their first sneak peak of it. It actually found its way to WordPress.com quickly after Drupal mentioned its intentions to include it as their new default theme. Let’s just say the Drupal folks were not happy. You can still find articles referencing the craziness over their great new theme if you do some searching.
Check out Drupal 5.0, you might just be surprised at how far it has come.

WordPress Plugin: Top 10 Posts/Views

Weblog Tools Collection has a Top 10 Posts/Views plugin available. This plugin will show your top 10 most popular posts along with counting each view for each post. There are many options in how to use this plugin.

WordPress Plugin: Geo Plugin

This plugin restores the geographic location functionality that was removed from WordPress. It adds the additional ability to specify preset locations.

WordPress Plugin: Up2date

Here is a plugin that combines the use of Gravatars and Favatars. However, it is preferrable to have both the Gravatar plugin and Favatar plugin installed in order to get the most functionality out of this plugin. He includes very extensive documentation on his plugin.

Wordpress Plugin: Comvatars

Here is a plugin that combines the use of Gravatars and Favatars. However, it is preferrable to have both the Gravatar plugin and Favatar plugin installed in order to get the most functionality out of this plugin. He includes very extensive documentation on his plugin.

WordPress Plugin: GigPress

have done WordPress sites for bands before, and have always been annoyed at how there was no good way for them to easily show off upcoming gigs, but that issue has since been resolved with GigPress.

GigPress is a WordPress plugin built specifically for touring bands. As a website developer who was often building websites for independent bands — and always using WordPress as CMS of choice — I was constantly frustrated by the lack of a simple, viable method of incorporating live shows and tours into these websites. So I figured I’d brush up on some PHP and build my own.
GigPress incorporates all the common requests you might have for a plugin of its ilk, including:

  • Ability to list both upcoming shows and past shows, chronologically rolled-over as tour dates pass
  • Grouping of shows into nameable tours
  • hCalendar-rigged
  • Auto-linking to Google Maps for venues with a street address
  • Fields for venue and ticket-buy URLs, age restrictions, ticket price, and notes
  • Built-in functions to display upcoming shows, past shows, and a sidebar listing
  • Widget support
  • Outputs XHTML-compliant, semantic markup

I am very impressed with this plugin. If you want to see a sample of what it outputs, check out the shows page on GigPress.

Essential Tools Every Blogger Should Have

Posted Monday, January 22nd, 2007 by Terry Ng
(Jack Bauer finds time to blog in between saving the U.S. from terrorists)

You’ve started your blog and you’re up and running, but do you have the essential tools necessary to be a blogging pro? Here’s a list of tools I personally use that will improve your blogging experience and productivity. Being well equipped will make you a better blogger, and being a better blogger means gaining the respect and affection among your weird and fuzzy blogging peers and readers.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 - Photoshop is the most powerful graphic editing program on the market. Take the time to learn it, and it’ll make the difference between a crappy MySpace looking blog and one that’s worthy to grace the galleries of Stylegala. Notable: Fireworks

Adobe Dreamweaver - This handy HTML and CSS editor will immensely shorten the time needed to design and edit your blog. The built-in FTP capability is also handy for transferring files to and from your web server.

Wordpress - The ultimate open-source blogging platform is about to get better with the release of version 2.1. With hundreds of plug-ins available to expand the capability of Wordpress, there’s nothing this beast can’t do.
Notable: Moveable Type, Typepad, Blogger

Akon - Keep your blog easy on the eyes by using this clean and simple theme created by yours truly.

Mint - If you’re serious about increasing your readership, a stats utility is a must. Mint does a great job of keeping track of where visitors are coming from, and what they’re doing while surfing your blog. Great way to really zone in on your target audience and niche.
Notable: Google Analytics, Crazy Egg

Firefox - This award-winning Web browser is fast, secure and fully customizable.
Google Reader - Although I still prefer reading blogs directly, there’s no doubt that a RSS reader helps manage all the news happening around the blogosphere. If you want to stay on top of the game, it’s an essential tool in your blogging arsenal.
Notable: Bloglines

Thunderbird - Thunderbird really delivers as a desktop POP3 and IMAP e-mail client. Enjoy spam-free e-mail with Mozilla’s intelligent filters.
Notable: Gmail

AdSense Deluxe WordPress Plugin : Insert Google Adsense / Yahoo Ads into Blog Posts

Many readers have asked me how to insert Google Adsense or Yahoo ads inside blog posts, and I usually advise them that it can be easily done by tweaking and inserting your ad code inside your blog template.

But AdSense-Deluxe is a WordPress Plugin for quickly inserting Google or Yahoo! ads into your blog posts, and managing when and where those ads are displayed. You can use simple HTML comments for embedding AdSense or Yahoo! Publisher Network ads in a WordPress post, choose from any number of ad styles and format on a post-by-post basis and globally change ad styles.

An Integrated AdSense Preview tool helps you see what ads will appear on a given page and all settings are configured through WordPress Options interface so no knowledge of plugins or PHP is required. Requires WordPress 1.5+ and is installed like most other WordPress plugins.
There is much more to it than I can write about. Try it out and better optimize Adsense placement to make more money.

Insert Google Adsense in Blog Posts
I have often been asked about how to insert inside blog posts. If you see currently I have an adsense between the post title and post body. Read on…
I will stick to Blogger template to describe the procedure.

If you go to the template, look for - this is what creates your post body with all the content. To insert the code above or below the post is simple.If you insert the Adsense code above this tag, it goes between the blog post title and post body. If you insert the Adsense code below this tag, it goes beneath the post and above the post footer which has the permalink, post comments, email and similar links.

If you want to insert the Adsense code beside the post and wrap the post content around it - I use a table and align it to the right or left as required. This table code goes above the . Then add and it put the Adsense code between the tags. This will displace the post content and align Adsense with the post.

If you want to align the post content beside the post but not wrap it around the post content - either insert the Adsense code in the sidebar, or create a table with 2 columns. In one column put the and in the other column put the Adsense code.
How do you insert Adsense in you posts?


AdSense only in the first post of the page
AdSense ad in the body of the post, but only in the body of one post per page.Blogger provides an easy way of adding AdSense to your blog. The best place to put ads is to put them very close to the content - at the end or at the beginning of your post. Unfortunately, you cannot just copy-paste the Google code right after the <$BlogItemBody$>.

If you do so, ad will be shown in all your posts and Google permits only three ads per page.The solution is to have a small javascript that will output the actual code only once per page. That is, only in the first post of the index page.And the ad will also be shown in the permalink pages.

Paste the following code into your template right after the tag:



Then put the following code to somewhere around the <$BlogItemBody$>. Browse this blog pages to see how it looks like.



Technorati tags:

Free Essential Tools for Blogger Blogs

So you have decide to create your first blog on Blogger. It has a simple and fine interface that takes care of many things for you. This is my suggestion to you for your first free essential must haves for your blog.
1. Feedburner - It generates an smart feed compatible with all feed readers for free like my feed. It allows you to put easy subscribe buttons for XML, Add to yahoo, Add to Newsgator, Add to MSN etc. Read about how their single feed policy can benefit you.

It can give you a cool feed count chicklet button to show how many readers are using your feed to read your blog. It also gives you a headline animator which you can attach to your blog to display the recent 5 posts in a nice animated fashion. You can get an authentic Creative Common license, get a browser friendly RSS feed, Splice photos and links and more…

2. Haloscan - Trackback is an essential component of blogging these days. Unfortunately Blogger does not have trackback. Haloscan provides you with a seamless way to integrate free trackback in your blog by adding a small code. You can also integrate their comments component if you like to replace the Blogger comments. Read about Haloscan or Blogger comments.

The benefits are that you can edit Haloscan comments, and open them in a pop up and keep them separate from your post (Blogger allows you to only delete comments and not edit them, also on the post page all comments will show whether you like it or not).
The main disadvantage is it will not email you these comments (like Blogger) for free and it is difficult to track where these comments were made. Another major benefit is that it allows you to send pings and trackback to other sites when you mention about them in your posts.

3. Imageshack - Dont you want to fill your blog with images without hassles of registration. Imageshack provides an excellent interface to take care of your free image hosting needs. Maybe it is this the fastest way to host an image on the web. Allows lots of image format, hotlinking, transloading from other sites. Its a good idea to register to keep track of all your images in one place. It is much convenient than the proposed Hello and Picassa options…
Update: Blogger enabled hosting of images on its own webspace making it easier to host images in your posts. But you cannot manage or edit / delete your blogger images in any way

4. Technorati - Create and add a technorati profile. It allows you to claim your blog in this huge blogosphere. It allows you to put an excellent technorati search on your blog. The best part is that whenever someone mentions or links to any page of your blog, technorati knows and a search for your blog on technorati shows exactly how many sites link to which pages of your blog and when they were added with a small description. See why you need a technorati account.

5 - Sitemeter - Just takes 5 minutes to get a free tracker which gives you realtime site traffic statistics to check the quantity and quality of your site traffic with detailed referrer and geographic data. I have checked out several other tracking sites, but this one seems the best. Although you need to keep a counter visible (as a logo, visitor counter) and the statistics can be made private too.

StatCounter gives much more detailed statistics and the counter is totally invisible and free totally till you start getting large traffic, when you need to pay. But the disadvantage is that both of these track the last 100 visitors only, while another free service Extreme Tracking tracks them all… but you statistics cannot be made private. More options I like are Google Analytics for deep traffic statistical analysis and it is hidden too.

6. Feedblitz - It quickly allows your blog visitors to subscribe by email to your new posts. They just have to enter their email. You decide which page opens after they press Subscribe. A quick confirmatory email to them and they get 1 email daily with all your new posts. You can decide if you want to send the full post or short posts with defined number of characters. Very good to keep your subscribers informed of new posts. It allows them to unsubscribe easily also. Example for our blog.

7. My Blog Log - Tracks outgoing links to let you know where your traffic is going. The free limited version data is not in much detail, yet provides a good idea. You can also add a Top 5 Our Links module to your web site. Now they have a MyBlogLog community to get some extra site traffic too.

8 AudioBlogger- Audioblogger allows free unlimited audio posts from any phone to your Blogger blog. You call the number (Currently a US phone number), record a post, then your blog is updated with an audioblogger icon and a link to your recorded audio.

9. w.bloggar - It is a Post and Template editor, with several features and resources that the browser based blog editors do not offer. It enables users to have only one interface to several accounts hosted on several different sites, using different publishing systems. Helps to manage multiple blogs on Blogger very effectively.

10 Blogger Mobile - opens a new concept of Moblogging i.e. blogging by your mobile phone. When you send text or photos from your mobile device to go@blogger.com they’re automatically posted to your new blog page.

11. Blogexplosion - helps you get confirmed traffic to your blog. The principle is simple, you visit other peoples blogs and they visit yours. For every 2 blogs you visit, one visitor comes to you. This is very good if you are new blogger and have hardly any traffic. Definitely try the Rent a Blog advertising swap service.

12. Pingoat - Pinging lets dozens of blogging services know you’ve updated your site and increases traffic to your blog. Just enter your blog name and blog home page, check the blogging services you want to ping, just click ‘Submit Pings’ and in one click it pings all of them. Pingoat offers a wide variety of such services and is fast too. See many more one click pinging services.

13. Creative Commons - It offers a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors and artists. They have built upon the “all rights reserved” of traditional copyright to create a voluntary “some rights reserved” copyright. They are nonprofit and all tools are free and useful to highlight the way in which you want others to use you content.

14. Google Adsense and Search - When you take all effort to write for a blog, why not optimize it to make some money. Let users search for good posts in your blog. And now it even helps to monetize you feeds.
This is periodically updated. Happy Bloggering!
