Wordpress Hacked
Introducing Embedded Youtube Plugin
This project was in the back burner. In January, I had decided that I would release one Plugin every month to the public for free. It has been long overdue, until now. This week, I had my programmer friend work on a Plugin idea, that I thought of 2 weeks back.

Weekend Talk – Wordpress Blog and Ping
The other day, I was reading a blog post whose link I received in my email. It was about the Pinging technology within Wordpress and the serious flaw it contains. The author writes that while Wordpress has a great feature to ping all major services including Google, it also has a serious flaw that can get your blog banned from any or all service.
What happens is this – When you write a post and click the PUBLISH button, Wordpress pings all the service you have listed in the Admin panel and informs them of your new post and each of these services in turn crawl your blog and index your latest content. While this is good, there is also a serious problem. If say, 10 minutes later, you go ahead and edit the post and then click PUBLISH again, Wordpress goes ahead and pings all the service again, as if you have published a new post.

Review Thursday – Wordpress SEO Plugin
Last week and the beginning of this week, I had penned a couple posts on Search Engine Optimization rules according to Dan Thies. Dan stresses a lot on Google Pagerank and has developed his First, Second and Third Tier theory as well as advanced techniques like the Third Level Push and Circular Navigation for better Pagerank control within a site. I know it sounds like Rocket Science. Initially I felt the same too. Terminologies always confuse. In short Dan’s techniques helps you gain Pagerank on any page you want to and avoid the pages you do not want, while getting you better rankings in the Search Engines.
For many of us, basic Search Engine Optimization itself is a pain in the rear. The technicalities involved in the game can be very challenging and at times, sensitive. At a stage like that, to think of someone like Dan Thies and his SEO strategies can simply be overwhelming, if not scary.
I have some good news for you. You better believe it when I say Good news. But, before I proceed, as always, please read my Affiliate Review Policy. I do not review to make a quick buck, but to help you, my readers, make an informed decision.

Weekend Talk – Wordpress Automatic Upgrade
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
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.
