WordPress Techie

Explores the features of WordPress from a technical point of view. Covers topics like plugins, PHP, CMS, and customizing WordPress.



CSS Basics For Bloggers

The bad news is that changing your theme templates can seriously affect how your blog displays in your web browser. The good news is that your original display appearance can be restored by making a few minor changes in your CSS stylesheet.





Must Have Feature

If your WordPress blog is offering real content, then why not provide a search feature that actually works like the Google search engine, but only better?





Not Indexing Specific Pages

This blog is about providing practical information that the typical blogger can actually put immediately into use.





Optimizing Your Blog Title

Just because a Wordpress Theme is advertised as being Search Engine Optimized does not mean that it actually is. Usually they are selling the sizzle, rather than the steak.





Ping Google With Every Post

If you set up your blog to ping then your posts will be added to Google within minutes of their publication. First, your optional excerpt will be added to Google’s blog index. After a few more minutes your new post will be added to Google’s web index. And, your home page will likewise be updated in Google’s web index.





Simple Wordpress Security Fix

Hackers have bots crawling the Web looking for blogs running specific versions of Wordpress. But apparently, Wordpress is more interested in claiming credit for creating your blog, then they are in protecting bloggers from this well known security issue.





Theme Editing 101

No blogger is worth his salt unless they know how to edit their own Wordpress theme. With a little bit of practice, anyone can learn how to do it.





Trackbacks Should Be Transparent

Be smart and let WordPress do all the work for you. Plus, your trackbacks will now be reciprocal links when you elect to make them transparent.





Using Conditionals In Your Theme Sidebars

Bloggers do not need plugins and widgets in order to customize their blog. Once you know how, editing your Wordpress theme template is really quite easy.





Using NoFollow Makes A Lot of Sense

Some of the most important search engine optimization plugins, like the Add Link Attribute plugin by Kaf Oseo are relatively unknown.
