Adding Live Preview For Comments

If you scroll down you will see a live preview option for comments. Just try it out by typing in a comment. Pretty cool, huh!?

A friend asked me why this was useful and why anyone will want to see their comment twice?

My answer: If your comment is pretty long, the textarea will start to scroll and you won’t be able to look at your entire comment in on go. The preview on the other hand shows the comment in its entirety. This way you can see how it looks and proof read with ease before you post.

Explode and Increase Comments Using These Wordpress Plugins

I have already discussed a few techniques and plugins you can use to increase your comments. Here is a re-cap of some old and some new plugins I haven’t discussed before. All are must-haves if you want to explode your comments:

  1. Subscribe To Comments
    I am absolutely staggered that so many bloggers don’t use this one. Don’t they want their commenters coming back? When I comment on a blog, I really want to know when there is a reply. And subscribe to comments is the perfect plugin as it sends me an email whenever a comment is posted.

    Without this option, your commenters may just get sick and tired of checking manually or not bother at all. Not everyone subscribes to the comments RSS feeds so make sure you provide this option.

    I cannot stress this one enuff!

Generate Trackbacks and Backlinks using TrackBoost

TrackBoost Today I came across this software – TrackBoost.

The first deterrant to looking into this further was the fact that the website only had a video and hardly any content about the software. My speakers are not working at the moment and I find using my headphones to be a pain. However, I put them on unwillingly as I wanted to get more information.

If you are like me and don’t want to be forced to watch videos, here is a lowdown of what the software is about and what I liked and disliked about the product.

What It Does

The software links to your Wordpress database. According to the website:

TrackBoost is made for self-hosted Wordpress blogs, but will work with any blogging system that supports the MetaWebLog API

How To Get Visitors To Leave Comments?

You have to motivate your visitors to leave comments.

How do you do that?
By giving them a good enuff reason to do so.

Like they say there is no such thing as a free lunch.

We have already discussed one approach and that is by making your blog do-follow.

Another option is the CommentLuv Plugin.

This plugin searches the commentator’s RSS feed and adds the title of their last blog post to their comment.

Etiquettes of Commenting

As soon as you make your blog a Do-Follow you will notice a slight if not a large increase in comments.

Some of these are great as they contribute something. Fair enuff for a link back to your website.

And then there is the category who want a link back for nothing. If they could they would leave a blank comment. Since they can’t they just leave comments like ‘Thank you’ or ‘ I came upon your website and wanted to say hi’.

Bring Something To The Table

As much as I love new comments, they need to have some substance. It is ok to add one line comments as long as you add to the discussion. Don’t just say thank you .. show that you are by adding something meanigful.

Fair Exchange

It is only fair that if someone is letting you add a do-follow link to your blog or website then you give something back in return as well. A simple thank you is just not enuff.

Upgrading to Wordpress 2.6

I finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.

I first installed it locally to test it out and make sure that nothing was broken and the website was showing up fine. Good idea on my part.

Turns out there was a permalinks issue.

Everything was totally mucked up. I couldn’t get the post pages to load. I was getting tagged headings on category pages and the rest were just giving a page not found error. Oops!

Am I glad I didn’t directly upgrade live!

But there is good news.

A Little Hack to Get Your Password Back

This can either be a very useful or a very dangerous trick depending on how it is used or abused.

I found this little tip at: FiddyP (it’s a really cool blog btw).

It only works in Firefix and boy does it work!

If you have a stored password that you can’t remember and all you can see are asteriks, just add this line to the address bar:

javascript:var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var x=0; x<els.length; x++){ if(els[x].type.toLowerCase() == 'password' ){ var test = els[x].type = 'text';}}

Press enter and wait to be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised to see your password staring back at you.

Is Google Experimental going to change the face of SEO forever?

Is Google Experimental going to change our Google search rankings forever and further more?

Apparently Google is experimenting with enhancing search results. The first experiment deals with ‘Alternate views for search results‘. This includes the list view (current option), info view, time line view and map view.

Now the interesting thing to note here is that each view gives different results. So although you might have worked hard to get your web pages to the top 10 in the current Google scenario (list view), you might find your listing missing in the three new proposed views.

Just imagine if Google were to introduce these as actual search options. The face of Google SEO will not be the same. It will be better for some, worse for others. May be nothing new about this but it is going to cause some upheaval and shifts in results depending on what view gets to be more popular.

How to Keep On Blogging?

I’m still figuring this one out, folks. Personally, I am the laziest person when it comes to writing. Designing I can do all day long but writing … that is a completely different story.

So how do I motivate myself to keep at it?

  1. Get Motivated By Others
    When I am really out of it and I don’t feel like writing at all, I go and read blogs at random. Not only does that give me ideas and get my creative juices flowing, it gives me the extra push I need. After all if so many people can keep blogging day after day then so can I.
  2. Look at my RSS Subscriptions
    Alright so the current number isn’t exactly anything to write home about. But I like to see numbers go up (who doesn’t ;-) ). So every time I make a post, there are chances of that number going up. (Psst you can help … go subscribe up there). Anyway that gives me a little push sometimes.
