Googlephone Will be Available Soon~

Published March 20, 2007 in Mobile Phones. 4 Comments

googlephone.jpgIt was a rumor a few months ago that there will be a Googlephone from Google and the photos were spread all over the internet. Recently, it is officially said that the phone is not a rumor anymore.

Isabel Aguilera, Google’s chief executive in Spain and Portugal, has admitted that the developers are currently working at some really jaw-breaking mobile-related hardware. However, the so-called Googlephone will only be one of the 18th research initiatives Google develops simultaneously.

Apple has its iPhone, Google has its Googlephone.. What’s more? Yahoo!Phone, MSNphone… You name it ;)

Permalinks Migration Plugin for WordPress~

Published March 16, 2007 in Wordpress Plugins. 1 Comment

As I mentioned in the previous post, I found a plugin which can let you change your permalinks without losing the traffic you’re already getting to your blog. This plugin actually redirect the old permalinks to the new permalinks of the same post.

Many people want to change their permalink structure,for example, from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/

But doing so will make all pages indexed by search engines become invalid,moreover, losing visitors from other sites or bookmarks that links to you.

There is a way to tell the search engines (and browsers) that the page has permenantly moved, and that the old address should be replaced by the new one . It’s called a “301 Redirect”, also known as a Permanent Redirect.

I’ve tested the plugin and it actually works! Just key in the old permalink structure in the plugin’s option page and you are ready to go~! You can get more info from the author’s site.

Permalinks Issues~

Published March 16, 2007 in Wordpress. 1 Comment

In WordPress, we can actually create a custom URL structure for our posts’ permalinks. There are actually many types of permalink structures that you can use for your blog such as something like this:

http://www.m3nghua.com/?p=123
http://www.m3nghua.com/index.php/2007/03/16/sample-post/

And recently I found that a few blogs using permalinks like this.

http://www.m3nghua.com/sample-post/

What is this all about? It started back when I checked my site for the value of my domain. Dnscoop actually shows the result of my blog’s indexed pages in search engines. This is the result:

Google: 1,420
MSN Search: 84
Yahoo!: 792

It appears that my blog does not indexed well in MSN search with only 84 pages compared to Google which is 1420 pages. I searched over the internet for solutions but it appears that this actually related to the permalink structures. Why? It is said that MSN Search does not index well for pages with long URLs. Consider that MSN Search is the 2nd highest traffic site in Alexa rankings, this could reduce a lot of traffic to my blog.

Solutions?

I’ve changed my permalink structure to a shorter one with only /%postname%/ after the main URL. From what I’ve searched through the net, a permalink with dates on it is useless and only makes the link to be complicated for search engines. The downside of changing the permalink is that you will make all pages indexed by search engines become invalid,moreover, losing visitors from other sites or bookmarks that links to you. Other than that, by doing so will hurt your google pagerank as well.

I did the changes just to test out whether my theory is true or not. There are still no proof that changing this permalink would help search engine indexing. Come to think of it, is it worth it to change the permalink just because of something that I’m not really sure of? What is your opinion then?

I actually found a plugin that can help migrating the permalink structure without losing any traffic to your site~ So stay tune!

InstantUpgrade WordPress Plugin~

Published March 13, 2007 in Wordpress Plugins. 1 Comment

Are you tired of upgrading your WordPress versions just to keep up? WordPress has been releasing new versions more frequently lately and it would be troublesome for some of us to upgrade it. Luckily, there is a plugin where you can upgrade your Wordpress versions just by one click! (Err.. Maybe a few clicks.. )

How does it work?

The InstantUpgrade plugin downloads the latest WordPress version from the WordPress server and unpacks it at your server. In the next step, it deletes all of your old WordPress files (except wp-content/ and wp-config.php, language packs are preserved, too) and puts the new files into your WordPress directory. At last, it runs the upgrade script contained it the new WordPress version.

Further instructions of how to install and use the plugins can be found here. It is said that you need to apple chmod 777 to the named directories and files. Will this cause some security issues? I’m not really sure. Maybe you can just set it when you want to upgrade your WordPress.

I’ll try this plugin to upgrade my WordPress from 2.1 to 2.1.2 later. Make sure you back up all your files before making this upgrade ya!

Download InstantUpgrade Here
