Wordpress by Examples

Seems my announcement about the new Wordpress release 2.2 was a bit premature. Wordpress team has announced that the latest release will be delayed as far as June.

Meanwhile, if you’re using Wordpress 2.0.x or 2.1.x), it is advisable that you upgrade the installation to the latest bugfix release (2.0.10, 2.1.3) to avoid your site from being compromised. Trust me, I heard about compromised Wordpress installation all because the owner refuse to upgrade to the latest release.

I have read the long tail, understand that every single post of a blog have its potential of readers. In order to encourage your reader read more about you stuff, it is good to provide links to related post. As you have reduce the research cost of your readers, at the same time, you improve your web traffics. Why reduce the research cost of your readers? Your readers may searching for some information, with your related post link, he gets what he wants in one short instead of having to queries at search engine.

If you have using wasabi related post plugin, I am here to introduce you a variant of wasabi related post, its call aizatto’s related post.

What is so special about this plugin?

related_posts(5, 10, '< li >‘, ‘< /li >‘, , , false, false);

If you are using wasabi version, you need to do this manually, with aizatto’s version, It does for you automatically.

ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD FULLTEXT `post_related` (
`post_name` , `post_content`
)

This is cool, as I have a lots or RSS readers. This is one of the reason why my web traffics increases.

Aizatto suggest me that I should change the css style instead of change the codes of the plugins. But why not? Its open source anyway, and the codes is not so difficult to read.

That is the best parts, It improves web traffics and consequestly improves adsense income.

Seeing is believing
I am here to shows you few examples of blog post that uses aizatto’s related post plugins.

Drag all the way down, you can see the related post links after the post, and continues with adsense links. With the fine tuning of your related post and adsense outlook, both of them looks really native to the post.

I recommend you to try it out, this is one of the great plugins I ever have.

It’s just another 3 days worth of waiting for the latest major wordpress release to come out. The Wordpress 2.2 will spot :

The much awaited ATOM 1.0 feed support
• ATOM API support (much like blogger.com ATOM API)
• Improved comment editing
• PHPMailer integration for performance and reliability of SMTP mailing feature
• New XML-RPC API for pages
• Widgetized default themes

Feels like earlier this year since Wordpress made the last major release of its popular blogging platform (2.1 Ella). Oh no wait, it is earlier this year! Boy, wordpress team is so much productive compared to other open source cms projects.

Wait for the official release of Wordpress 2.2 on 24 April 2007.
