The Power of Trash in Wordpress

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Wordpress has introduced a powerful feature of Trash in their new release of version 2.9. We recently checked out this feature and we were greatly impressed by this feature.

This feature is powerful in case of comment and post moderation, by managing some changes in the role management plug-in. This helps in revert the deleted posts and comments.

Trash for Comments

The comments that are deleted moved to trash and can be retrieved later on if found genuine. Check the screen shot to see the new look of this feature.

Now remove the comments permanently from the trash.

Trash for Posts

The posts that are deleted are moved to trash and can be retrieved back just by clicking on Undo. The deletion does not move the post permanently, and later on you can remove it permanently from their.

Remove the post and it moves to the trash.

This permanent deletion of the post removes only the content of the post not the media associated with the post. If a post is removed the images and files associated are not removed the server. If you want to remove the media attached to the post, you have to delete those files from the Media list.

Wordpress 2.9 is officially out of beta

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

WordPress-2.9.6-available Wordpress has released their most powerful and most awaited WP release for this year 2010. This release has come up with a lot of features of Images and SEO, they have come up with their own canonical URL’s. WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae.

Here are some of the features that will be available to the end users, chack the official list of the features:

    1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
    2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
    3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
    4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).

Just check out this new release and get your blogs updated.

First Clicksor Payments received

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Today, we have received our first payment from clicksor. Last month we have told that we will be testing clicksor advertising network on the sites that meet their minimum criteria. Well their ads performed well for us but their CPM was a bit low compared to other networks that we use. But we still recommend them to other users for their timely payments. In our case we have to write to them for making the payments, but their support was extremely fast.

The support response was extremely quick, and payment was made within few days. We will still we using them on our network sites along with adsense, since their ads can be used along with adsense. Below is the screen shot attached below for the first payment that we have received in our paypal account.

Alexa updated its sites linking in stats

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

sites linking inAlexa has recently updated its site linking in stats for all the domains. I checked the sites that are linked to colorsofnet.com, their are 18 sites that are linked to us.  Alexa uses to update its site lining in stats every quarter, and we have been waiting for this update from a very long time.

Their are few points that we have drawing after looking at our linked sites and at other fellow blogger stats.

  1. All the pages that are linked had a good page rank.
  2. They are updated at-least three time a day.

Well these are the two points that we have observed and suggest judging a blog on basis of any of these two parameters. If a blog is new and is updated frequently, it can be used to get a back link from it.

And do tell us about the number of sites linking in to your blog/site.

Show your Gravatar as Favicon on your Wordpress Blog

Friday, November 27th, 2009

I was busy these days, with a PhpBB client of mine. I just tested few new themes for my upcoming theme, and came across a great theme by Jauhari. This theme was having a great feature that enables the admin gravatar as favicon. This was something that took the pain away of developing a new favicon.

I tried to search for this and found a plugin Gravatar Favicon developed by Patrick Chia. Which helps you achieve the desired results of favicon generation.

This plugin allows you to generate a gravatar favicon for your blog and admin logo included Apple touch icon. Just activate the plugin, and it will add gravatars to your blog template and admin panel automatically, no setting and nothing. But you must enable your avatar(Discussion Settings). (W6A4N4-L26P6-WSH)

This is how your plugin looks like, just check the screenshot.

Note: This post does post does not claims that Jauhari had used the same plugin in its theme development.
