Weekend Talk – Wordpress Automatic Upgrade

January 19th, 2008 • Althaf • 2 comments • Related • Filed Under

My son fell sick today and my routine for the day completely changed. I almost lost the hope of writing a post today, until now. I do not have a lot of time in hand, so I am going to share with you a Wordpress Plugin I just started using.

It is called the Automatic Wordpress Upgrade Plugin. Initially after I uploaded and activated it, I was worried. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to push the automatic upgrade button. What if messed up my database? I then decided to take chance by backing up all my files.

I have to tell you, it is a wonderful Plugin. Really wonderful. It did exactly what it promised. I take my hats off to the author for making a Plugin as this one. It cuts down the time that takes to upgrade the Wordpress edition manually.

Pick up a copy of the Wordpress Automatic Plugin at this link.

Weekend Resource – Using a ThoughtPad to Store Blog Topics

December 29th, 2007 • Althaf • 1 comment • Related • Filed Under

I use Notepad a lot. I am a lazy guy when it comes to taking down ideas using a paper and pen. Most of my inspirations come in when I am at my Office. I have a wide window right in front of my desk that gives me access to the outside world, and therefore, ideas.

Recently, I had to reformat my Hard Drive due to slow performance of my machine. No amount of tuning and junk deletion helped. So, with a heavy heart, I set to format the HDD and re-install the OS. It took about an hour to finish the task and another hour to organize the contents, install the necessary components, restore backed up files, etc.

Do you pay for your Analytics package?

December 22nd, 2007 • Althaf • 6 comments • Related • Filed Under

I used to pay for a secondary statistical package apart from Google Analytics. The main reason being that Google Analytics isn’t a real time Web Analytics tool. It was pretty depressing to check my blog statistics once a day.

Then it all changed.

Weekend Resource - Google Website Optimizer Plugin

December 15th, 2007 • Althaf • 1 comment • Related • Filed Under

Google Web Optimizer is a free landing page tool introduced by Google. The tool is geared mainly towards Google Adwords account holders who need to test the efficiency of their campaigns, tweak their ad copies, determine what ads bring in better conversion rates and so on.

The tool is available inside your Adwords account itself. You can check it out by signing up for an Adwords account. Adwords account signup is free and unconditional. I have uploaded a video by Google in the Video section on the right. The video runs you through the basics of Website Optimizer and how to use it effectively for maximum ROI.

Content Robot has released a Plugin by the name “Google Website Optimizer”. The Plugin was created for Wordpress bloggers who use Adwords to promote their blog. In their own words:

“The Google Website Optimizer Plugin integrates the Google Website Optimizer into WordPress blog posts and pages. It allows WordPress bloggers who are already enrolled in Google’s Adwords program to insert the tracking codes required to run headline and copy tests to determine which blog copy/content drives the best conversions”.
