I just wanted to check out something related to my AdSense account and i noticed that the Google AdSense page was temporarily unavailable. However no reason was exposed.
I am looking forward finding out what determined this issue.
LE: it crossed my mind to check out their blog and i found out that this was a scheduled maintenance. You can read it on the official AdSense blog. Depending on your time zone you won’t be able to access your account at a certain time.
In my last post i tried to cover the basics of the integration process as far as the prosilver theme and all the other prosilver based themes out there. Basic styling and some basic code insertion. I promised that i would post a tutorial (and many folks asked me to) regarding the integration of AdSense (or other ads) into subsilver2 based themes, so here it goes.
This time i will keep things related to CSS much more simpler (almost non-existent) as i will make use of default classes. Instead of using an ad block that fits in relatively neat i will give an example of using a table. The visual effect will be almost the same. So feel free to…
This time I tried to compile a quick list of 6 relatively useful WordPress plugins. Twitter Tools helps you connect your WordPress blog with Twitter, SmartLinks can display a neat widget with related information depending on the link, Maintenance Mode will display a front page informing all your readers that your blog is unavailable for the moment due to maintenance reasons, iBegin Share is more than a social plugin, MBP Stripe Ad might be useful if you want to display links such as ads or announcements at the top of your header in a non-intrusive way and PredictAd is definitely an interesting way of enhancing and monetizing your search function….
I presume that until now you had at least one encounter with Twitter. If you don’t know what Twitter is and you want to read a guide, you might want to stop by over at LOAB and read this in-depth, “how to twitter” guide (i highly recommend it even for experienced twitter users). It highlights pretty much everything that’s important about Twitter and brings up some quite interesting ideas in an easy-to-read approach.
Basically there are so many Twitter resources out there that you can enhance your Twitter experience just like a pro: addons, scripts, plugins, clients and everything else you might need for different operating systems and platforms. I will try to compile a hopefully useful list for…
I saw the icon that says “share” on Missy’s blog and didn’t know what was it about. I clicked on it and pretty much liked the idea of having a single, cute button with which you can share your content on popular social and bookmarking sites or email it to friends, print it and even save it to PDF or DOC files. I did a little research on Google and found out (from BONTB) that the latest version was released on April 1st (i don’t know why they published it on April 4th) so hurry up and install it on your blog as it’s compatible even with WordPress 2.5.
The idea itself of doing so many things with just one…
In order to keep things in order, your busy schedule might need an improvement. For example i browse a lot of sites and test some software products I’m interested in, but for some reasons I forget, I don’t have time, I become lazy or something like that and forget to write about it (this also happens with other different stuff i have to attend to). So I’ve heard that a quick reminder, an alert or something, might help stay on track, because let’s face it: there are so many things to write about and you continuously discover them and by the time you decide to write about one thing you discover another one, much greater and so on and…
Shawn Collins posted an article in which he highlighted the general aspects of PredictAd’s search solution. With a PredictAd powered search you can basically achieve an interesting goal: provide a well structured, auto-complete search field and earn revenue from some relevant yet non-intrusive pay per click ads which are to be found among the auto-complete results.
Don’t think even for a moment that it’s a big deal to implement PredictAd on your blog. This neat search script can be integrated within your blog in a matter of seconds as it natively supports TypePad, Blogger and of course WordPress. For example i downloaded the plugin for WordPress (yes, it’s compatible with WP 2.5), filled in my unique ID and i was…
Currently i have updated my WordPress installation to 2.5. I was using the Popularity Contest version 1.3b3 plugin by AlexKing and i didn’t want to accept the idea that it isn’t WP 2.5 ready. So i did a little research and found out that i’m not the only one who has this problem. If you don’t want to wait until the author decides to post the new version because this plugin is crucial for your blog you can check out this quick fix.
Deactivate the plugin.
Navigate to the plugin’s directory and open popularity-contest.php
Scroll down to line 59 and replace the line require(’../../wp-blog-header.php’); with require(’../wp-blog-header.php’);
Reactivate the plugin.
Thank you Thomas for this wonderful solution.
The above fix works if you had the plugin…
A very easy to follow tutorial that will show you how you can integrate Google AdSense ads into your phpbb3 based forum so that you can generate some revenue. This tutorial will help you integrate ads on the index page, viewforum page, viewtopic page, search results page and in the first post….
I was writing a post almost at the beginning of this month about what a great service “WhoLinked” provided. It seemed a great, easy-to-use script generator that could help you to show the last 5 websites that linked to you. That way you were providing a link back to them and practically saying “thank you”.
I was reading the blog of some great SEO guru (don’t panic, i don’t remember his blog address because i was just hitting the “Stumble!” button) and there was a nice line saying something like nowadays web services come and go very fast. Basically this is what happened with “WhoLinked” as I noticed a couple of days ago that no links were showing up in…
