Get 30% Discount with WP Web Host Coupon Code: LOY30

April 24, 2009

A few months ago, I wrote an article about WP Web Host entitled “The Best Web Hosting for Wordpress.” I have nothing but praise for this wonderful web hosting company. Not only are their servers fast, their reliable support team is always ready to answer your questions and help you with anything related to Wordpress and blogging. In fact, they even helped me move my blog from my old web server to a new one on WP Web Host, without breaking a sweat.

And now you, too, can experience Wordpress web hosting at its finest without all the complicated issues and problems that are commonplace in other web hosting companies. To help you, I am offering a 30% discount on annual and biennial plans. Just go to WP Web Host and use the coupon code LOY30 to get 30% off on your hosting plan. This means that you save $24 on annual plans and $36 on two-year plans.

The Best Web Hosting for Wordpress

January 24, 2009

It’s such a shame that many web hosting companies often disregard the specific hosting requirements of Wordpress users, despite the popularity of this open-source blogging platform. I have signed up with several web hosts and it’s quite frustrating to see that some Wordpress plugins aren’t working because some server configuration issues!

I used to host my websites in a local web hosting company because I didn’t have Paypal or a credit card back then and thus was unable to pay for the bigger web hosting companies. To my costernation, some plugins went bonkers because some server configurations were disabled (for security reasons?). Add to that was the fact that support was virtually non-existent and it looked like the company was run by a bunch of salesmen who knew nothing about Wordpress.

The Best Wordpress Plugins For Blogging Newbies

December 19, 2008

To say that Wordpress is the best open-source blogging platform is an understatement. Not only is Wordpress the best in the business, it is also vastly popular and extremely easy to set up even for complete blogging novices.

Help Me Win the Wordpress Coolest Blog Competition!

November 13, 2008

I love contests. I join all types of contests, online and offline, ranging from essay writing to lotteries. No contest is too big nor too small for me, as long as it promises a significant reward that could be fame or fortune,or both.

So when I read that WP Webhost is organizing a contest for the Coolest Wordpress Blog, I decided to try my puny luck and hope that destiny will see it fit to reward my audacity. Imagine, I’ve just been blogging for less than a month, and now I’m competing for $2,000 worth of prizes that are enough to make my head spin. Sure, 2,000 bucks is chump change for my idol Bill Gates, but that might be enough for me to jumpstart my fledgling Internet career and make me a future billionaire. That is, if you cooperate with me.

Get the Subscriber Count of a FeedBurner RSS Feed

August 5, 2008

While checking JJ’s blog and her RSS problem, I stumbled about a trick to get some detailed statistics on about any FeedBurner feed as long as they have the FeedCount service activated.

This is useful if you want to find out a blog’s RSS subscriber count (if they really have guzzillions subscribers as they say).

For starters, you should know that the name of the FeedBurner feed is generally written after the slash. On my blog for example, the URL of the FeedBurner feed is feeds.feedburner.com/Lloydlopez wherein Lloydlopez is the feedname.

Free Software to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

April 27, 2008

Here’s a free software for you guys (download link below) who would like help boost traffic to your blogs. It practically enables you to search a keyword and the blogs that are related to that keyword you typed in. You will be able to quickly find the blogs that are “up there” in the ranks and you can start putting comments to their blogs to increase your own blog’s exposure. As illustrated below -

1. type a keyword related to your blog. i.e. “pinoy”

2. type in your domain name (this is related to point #4)

3. PR stands for “page rank”

4. if you typed your domain name in point #2, it will show if that domain name has links with the top blogs. In this case www.i-filipino.com doesn’t have any links with the top blogs

5. you can see the highest ranking blog related to the keyword “pinoy” - in this case it is “sunstar.com.ph/specials/election” (the lower the number, the higher the ranking)

Has Your WordPress Been Hacked Recently?

April 16, 2008

Matt Mullenweg’s recent post about a “bogus” WordPress security breach had me wondering about my own WordPress sites. Unfortunately, it turns out I’ve become a victim of a WordPress vulnerability whose symptoms are detailed here. Took me two whole nights of restoring my files and folders to their pristine condition. (Fingers crossed.) Take note that this is different from the ro8kfbsmag.txt hack, and seems to be a fairly recent attack. Thankfully, there are a lot of tell-tale signs:
