WordTwit

Jun 12008

published by Hannah in Blogging | SEO | Social Media | Wordpress with 1 comment

WordTwit is a new Wordpress plugin that’s would be very useful for twitterrers. It’s also a good way to promote your Wordpress blog on Twitter so that friends following you on Twitter but do not subscribe to your blog will know each time you put up a new blog post.

This is a great plugin for Twitter addicts but also pretty good for lazy twitterrers like me. I know it’s weird because I do post on my blog more often than I do at Twitter. So I figure it would make me look more active in Twitter if I use this plugin. My problem though is that I use Blogger for my personal blog…

You can download WordTwit here and see how it’ll look like.

published by Hannah in SEO | Wordpress with 5 comments

I recently read a post by Lee Odden on how Wordpress classified blogs as either “popular” blogs or “banned” blogs. As the title suggests, SEO blogs actually fall under banned blogs. Gasp!
Not surprisingly the post generated a lively discussion where in some agreed with Odden about how the term SEO blog was misleading and with [...]

Wordpress and the “Read More” Problem

Jan 182008

published by Hannah in Blogging | Link Strategies | SEO | Wordpress with 2 comments

Chris of Rillz Magazine wrote an interesting post on a Wordpress quirk that isn’t doing anything for your SEO. The ever helpful Wordpress uses the phrase “Read more” or “Continue reading” automatically at the end of post excerpts. This is useful since you want your readers to know that they have something more to read [...]

How To Insert HTML Code In A Wordpress Post

Dec 312007

published by Gary in Wordpress with No comments

In my last post An Introduction To Prototype I needed to insert HTML code in to the post. A quick Google search revealed postable, a quick and easy online tool. It could do with a button to copy the converted text, but hey nothing is perfect.
If you know of anything better, let me know.
