Your blog submission

Posted by Anthony, under Reviews

Recently I published a post “One trick of successful blogging. Article Submission” where I wrote about a blog promotion. Today I want to give you a couple of good links to the sites which will help you to do that.
1) First and best (from my point of view) is www.socialmarker.com. This site allows you to submit your blog or article to over 50 Social Bookmarking Services. Very easy to do, but you have to spend some time for registration in all of them ;)
2) Second service what I found recently is www.socialsubmitter.net. They offer 300 link directories, 100 article directories and 100 bookmarking sites for your site promotion.
A few of them don’t work, but anyway, this site is useful.
Good luck in blogging! :)

How to make URLs in Joomla search engine friendly

Posted by Anthony, under Tutorials

1) Login to your FTP.
2) Find htaccess.txt file (normally in public_html folder) and rename it to .htaccess
3) Go to Joomla! admin panel => Global Configuration => Site
4) Change select yes to all three SEO options. The action of the three parameters is as follows:

  • Search Engine Friendly URLs. Converts the URLs from the native Joomla! format to the SEF format.
  • Use Apache mod_rewrite. Uses the Apache “mod_rewrite” function to eliminate the “index.php” portion of the URL. If you don’t want to use mod_rewrite, set this to “No” and don’t rename the htaccess.txt. The SEF URLs feature will still work. The only difference is that you will see “index.php” in the URL, for example, http://www.yoursite.org/index.php/faq.html.
  • Add suffix to URLs. Adds “.html” to the end of URLs.

Done! Now your site will have search engine friendly URLs.
Enjoy!

Changing a theme for WP blog

Posted by Anthony, under Tutorials

Hi, today, I’ve changed a theme of my blog. It is now more bright and clean.
The original idea was just to have a couple of pages where visitor can read about services I provide (free blog setup is the main service, but apart from that I offer hosting discounts and technical support for any issues connected with web design), but a few months ago I decided to write some posts from time to time, so the old design didn’t suit my needs.

It is very easy to change a theme for WP blog. If you want to know how to do that, watch the tutorial below.

Buddy Press Lead Developer

Posted by Anthony, under Reviews

A few days ago I wrote about Buddy Press – plugin that transforms WP blog into social network in just 10 minutes or so (depending on your experience). Today I want to introduce you a lead developer of this plugin Andy Peatling. By clicking on his name, you will open his Twitter account and will be able to follow his day-by-day life and ask him questions (if you have Twitter account as well).
Enjoy!

Translating Polls in Joomla! using Joomfish

Posted by Anthony, under Tutorials

A lot of people who run multilingual sites on Joomla! have problem with translating polls.
The problem is related to the MySQL driver. If you switch to MySQLi “with i” it works right out of the box. This is the preferred driver for JoomFish. Alternatively you can change the modules/mod_poll/helper.php file a bit:
in getPollOptions function set

Code:
$query = ‘SELECT p.id, p.text’ .
            ’ FROM #__poll_data as p’ .
            ’ WHERE p.pollid = ‘ . (int) $id .
            ’ AND p.text <> “”‘ .
            ’ ORDER BY p.id’;

And it will be working with no problems at all :)
