FOUR WordPress Plugins Worth Removal

As you know installing more plugins to your wordpress blog will increase your page’s load time. So it’s not good to have plugins which can be replaced by manual coding and plugins which are useless.

In this post, I have listed 4 wordpress plugins that is not required for your blog and worth removal. I have also added some codes which you can manually add to your files instead of installing these plugins

1. Comment Reply Notification

As I have included this plugin in 6 Must-Have WordPress Plugins list I must not include it in this post. Then why is this plugin listed here? Actually, this plugin does very good job only for developing blogs and not for developed blogs. This plugin can send e-mail to your comment subscribers to keep them coming back to your blog and keep engaged them in conversation.

In a popular blog, think about the volume of e-mail that are sent everyday and the volume of e-mail a subscribers receives everyday. It becomes more worse if one of your post becomes viral. It starts to get lot of comments and your subscribers inbox will be flooded with email sent from your blogs. This will make your subscribers feel annoyed and this will create a bad image on your blog.

So it’s no doubt, it’s good to remove this plugin if your blog is quite popular that is already receiving lot of comments.

2. Social Share Buttons

Social share buttons! I can bet that all bloggers use this social share buttons. Ofcourse it brings lot of advantages to the bloggers. But it’s not that complicated to add plugin to insert share buttons in your blog. You can easily add these buttons by adding few lines of codes to your files manually. Here are the codes of some popular social media share buttons.

Adding Facebook Share Button

<a href=”http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&t=<?php the_title(); ?>” target=”_blank”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/facebook.png” alt=”Share it on Facebook” /></a>

Adding Tweet Button

<script type=’text/javascript’>
tweetmeme_style = “compact”;
tweetmeme_source = ‘HellBlog’;
</script>

Adding Digg Button

<a href=”http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”nofollow”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/digg.png” alt=”Add this Article to Digg” /></a>

Adding StumbleUpon Button

<a href=”http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>&amp;title=<?php the_title(); ?>” rel=”nofollow”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/stumble.png” alt=”Add this Article to Stumbleupon” /></a>

3. Ads Injectors

Ads Injectors helps you to add advertisement codes to your pages to display ads in certain area on your blogs. Now a days most themes have an in-built feature to add ads code to the headers so the people must be using ads injector only to add ad codes into their posts, which can also be done manually using the following codes.

Adding Adsense After Your Post’s Title

Open single.php file on your template and search for this line

<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

and insert your adsense code just after this line and then save your file.

Adding Adsense at the end of your post

Open single.php file and search for this line,

<?php the_content(); ?>

and insert your adsense code below that line and save your single.php file.

Adding Adsense code in middle of your post

Open function.php file and put this code at the end of the file and save it.

function ads() {
return ‘/*Insert your ads code here!*/’;
}
add_shortcode(‘ads-area’, ‘ads’);

Now whenever you are writing an article you have to put this code where you want the ads to appear.

[ads-area]

4. Related Post

If you are a newbie blogger then it’s good practice to add related post’s links to your posts while you are writing it. So you don’t have to use these related posts plugin.

Actually I wasn’t aware of this so wasn’t adding related post’s links inside my posts which has made this related post plugin a must have plugin for my blog. So if you are newbie bloggers or if your blog has less no.of posts (like less than 100 posts) then you can edit all your posts to add related posts links manually into each of them and uninstall your related posts plugin.

Your accuracy in finding the most related posts will be than that of a related post plugin. So it’s good to depend on you instead of depending on plugins.

Changing Win XP Boot Screen

This is a very simple trick to do if you have done the same for the logon screen and the start button. There are 2 ways to do this trick that I know about one is doing it manually and the other is using a program called bootxp. I am going to tell you the manual way to do it, but if you want to know the other way just let me know, so I can do an update to the guide. Now once you have downloaded your ntoskrnl.exe file save it a general location so that you will have easy access to it, like my folder.

Once you have ntoskrnl.exe file in an easy access folder, restart your pc into safe mode. Once into safe mode go to the folder where your files are located.

Now that you are there copy the file that you want to change your boot screen too. Once you have copied that file, hit the window key + r or type %windir%system32 in the run command, so that folder as follows.

Once there paste your new file into the folder and overwrite the existing folder.

Now that you have your new file in the folder restart your pc as you normally would and your new boot screen should appear. You can download this bootscreen here.

ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU EDIT OR DELETE. I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS YOUR COMPUTER UP BY DOING THIS HACK OR ANY TYPE OF HACK. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

PPC Optimizing – The Process[Make Money]

In a pay per click campaign, there are certain things you need to do in a circular pattern like refining your campaign, performance, testing everything out and refining your results. This is what is called PPC optimization. You only have to look out if anything has changed and make changes accordingly. Looking out for changes is essential because the internet often keeps changing, keyword trends keep changing and new competitors keep coming into the market. Here are a few stages in the process.

Content review

You have to carefully review the website’s content to understand the nature of the site and its offerings and lookout for keywords during this process for any terms that you feel are relevant to the campaign.

Developing your account structure

Once you gain a good idea about a site’s category, products and services, you can begin grouping the keyword findings and initial content into content blocks or account structure. This will serve as your PPC campaign’s basis and will help you in keyword research.

Keyword Generation and grouping

Now that you have your account structure in place, you can begin with generating keywords. Here you make use of various tools for keyword research and convert your initial list of keywords and multiply it. You should try to find as many keyword variations as possible along with other related terms, synonyms and misspellings. From this big list, you gradually narrow down to the niche ones depending on what works and what doesn’t. With that done, you have to divide the list into narrow groups with similar keywords which are called ‘ad groups’.

Match typing

This process involves going through each keyword group or keyword and assign a match type to it. it helps to decide the rules as to the queries for which your ad will be shown. You can go for a broad match, which shows your ad for each and every search entry that contains your keyword. When you go for an exact match or a phrase match you narrow down to a few. This is useful for those who want to control the appearance of their ad.

Creating the ad copy

Once you have decided upon your keywords and ad groups, creating ad copies for each of the groups is next. It is recommended that you run 3 ad copies minimum at a time. While doing it, you must make sure the ad copy is relevant to the keywords.

Selecting the landing page

Designating the landing page is the final stage in the PPC process. You will have to choose URLs for ‘destination’ and ‘display’ for driving your ads to. The actual URL is defined by the display URL, which the ad copy will specify, while the ad actually drives to the destination URL. You will have to find pages that are most relevant to the keywords of a particular ad group in a given website.

Once you are done with all these steps, you will have to track the results of your PPC campaign at least once a month. This is because the results of a pay per click campaign does not show immediately

Part:2  Setting the Standards



There are three properties I set at the beginning of every style sheet; padding, margins and a base font-size.
My preferred method is to globally reset all margins and padding to zero and assign them to elements as needed. I prefer this over instances of margin:0;padding:0; all through my CSS and I have repeatedly found it to cut the development time required for CSS layouts.
For font sizing, I use the method of setting a base size for the body element and em for all other elements, starting at 1em for the content text. For more information regarding the issues relating to even font-scaling, take a look at this.

* {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}
body {font-size:90%;}

The reason the font-size property is not declared within the global ruleset is that it has undesirable affects in relation to nested elements — the deeper you go, the smaller they get!




Setting the standard - links



There is one part of styling links that many fail to remeber — hovering with a mouse is not the only method of focusing on a link. Many users, myself included, use the tab key to skip through links on a page. To accomodate these users, we add a visual cue to the :focus pseudo-class.
Once again, IE/PC comes to the party and leaves a horrid mess; in this instance the problem is that IE does not render the :focus pseudo-class, but it does treat :active as:focus
Here's our basic link styles, with the :focus and :active pseudo-classes added:

a {
 color:#4C53E0;
}
a:focus, a:hover, a:active {
 color:#EB8518;
}

If you have trouble remembering the order for these declarations; this lymeric is a great help:
