The requested theme does not exist

March 21, 2008

I have been longing to change my wordpress theme for a while now but could not find an inspiring theme to modify. For the longest time I could not decide what I really wanted for a theme… light? dark? two-column? three-column? I regularly searched Weblog Tools Collection and Wordpress Theme Viewer and other blog sites that offer wordpress themes but nothing caught my fancy.

Then I chanced upon the dark theme of Vikiworks Studio and I knew I wanted to change from my bright, white theme to a darker one. So I downloaded his Resurrection theme and started to customize it for my blog. But, it was too challenging to customize Resurrection and I really did not want to just use the default images and style the theme had. I also was a bit more impatient now to get a new theme up and loaded.

27 Essential Wordpress Plugins you should have

January 25, 2008

Ever since I started using wordpress, I’ve been pretty amazed on the number of plugins it currently has and the numerous features that you can gain if you use those. I would like to share with you my personal list of Essential Wordpress Plugins that you should have.

I’ve broken them down into five (5) different parts:

  1. For your blog’s visitors - This is to enhance the experience of the visitors in your blog. Make them happy and surely they will return to your blog.
  2. For your blog’s protection - With numerous people getting hacked lately, you need all the protection that you need.
  3. For search engines - In order to gain organic traffic (search engine traffic), you should make your blog look good in search engines.
  4. For your blog’s functionality - Although wordpress already offers a lot of features, there are still some that we crave to have.
  5. For your blog’s feeds -Not all your visitors read your blog by visiting the website itself. Sometimes, they just subscribe through your feeds and read them there. So you should also make your feeds presentable. Why don’t you subscribe to my feeds too?

Just a quick note: Most of the plugins mentioned in this post are just upload and activate. I will be telling you if you need to do something to make it work. I have personally tested and used each of these plugins. They work with the latest version of wordpress.

PayPerPost
Requirements for your blog to be accepted is that it must at be least online for already 90 days and with 20 pre-existing posts. They allow blogs that are hosted by blogger but not the ones hosted on BlogCharm, BloggerParty, WritingUp or some other sites which are like the ones mentioned.

Blogitive
Requirements for your blog to get accepted is that it must have a decent amount of traffic and it must be indexed by major search engines Google and Yahoo. Blogs must also be at least 90 days old, just like PayPerPost and your blog must have at least 3 new posts every week.

Trackback Spam - Something to be aware of

November 29, 2007

Beware of trackback spam.

This is my warning to everyone but first, what is a trackback? Trackbacks are like a notification that somebody linked to your page. Here is an example of a trackback. Joiz’s post linked to my post, HostTracker - Free website monitoring service, so a trackback was created.

Example of a trackback image

It makes me happy knowing that somebody mentioned me in their posts. It can also add traffic to your blog since their visitors might click that link to your blog. However, nowadays, trackbacks are being used by spammers for their own benefit.

Learn how do spammers do this and how to avoid it by clicking here, Beware of Trackback Spam.
