In the draft mode in Wordpress, you click on the Preview Post link to see how your post would look like after being published. But isn’t it a bit tedious to preview the post each time while drafting? Wouldn’t you love it if you could “see as you type” how your post would appear on the blog? A few modifications in the stylesheet and a few tweaks here and there will let you have the benefit.

Where there is a blog, there are spams. Every blogger spends a lot of time in handling spams. Even plugins like Askimet cannot get hold of Spam sometimes. Besides, Askimet also tends to filter normal comments into spam category. There are certain posts on your blog that attract more spams than others. These can better be called the “Spam Magnets”. Spam Magnet Checker is a cool plugin that lets you have an analysis of the Spam Magnet posts, i.e. the posts getting maximum number of spams on your blog.

If you have a wordpress blog, you must have noticed in your admin settings page that you cannot change your login name once it is set. So, you believe that once you get some stereotypical name like Admin(default) you cannot change it later like you MSN or Gmail username. In case of single author blogs, people generally leave the username to default i.e. admin, which everyone can pretty much guess on. Even if you have a multi-author blog, you might need to change the username for other contributing writers for some reasons. You cannot do it via the Admin interface but can do it very easily from PhpMyAdmin.

My blog was facing a malware issue in the last few days. Well I wasn’t aware of this fact. About 5 days ago, when I tried to open my blog in Google Chrome, it showed a malware warning. I was pretty much surprised to see that, because my blog was running smooth on Chrome just the day before. I thought either there’s something wrong with my computer or Chrome was screwed up.

You want to show your readers the posts that are most popular on your blog. If you use Wordpress for maintaining your blog, you can use or must have already used plugins that show off the most popular posts. Placing such widgets help you get more traffic to your quality posts. But the wordpress plugins basically display the popular posts based on the number of comments, i.e. the more comments a blog gets, the higher is its rank on the popular posts widget. The posts that get the highest number of comments are not necessarily the posts that get the maximum number of traffic. So, what if you want to put a popular posts widget that shows the posts getting maximum number of traffic?

After being on my old domain http://www.bishaladhikary.com.np for a couple of months, I finally decided to move to this one. Actually my friend Ghtozkat suggested me that as the domain was a country domain of Nepal, the traffic would be targeted to Nepal by default. So, he suggested me to move to a new domain .com, .net or .org and so I moved my Wordpres blog to this domain. Well I had to go through a lot of processes to get all my previous posts on this domain and then finally redirect my old domain to this.

Adsense is by far the best and the easiest tool to monetize your site. You can easily place ads on your site by putting the Javascript code snipped in the html of your site or blog. If you use Wordpress, there are a number of plugins that are available for inserting Adsense. These tools allow you to insert adsense very easily without having to put the whole javascript code in your templates or on your posts inline. But what if you want to test Adsense on your site by placing them in appropirate places so as to generate more clicks? If you repeatedly open up your site to test Adsense visiting as a normal user, you’ll make a number of impressions to the ad which Google Adsense won’t entertain. And there are chances for accidental clicks as well. So, how will you test adsense the legitimate way on your blog? Well here’s how you do it.
