Post image for W3 Total Cache Self-induced Error

W3 Total Cache is one of the best plugins I’ve found for wordpress. Yet, at first glance it can seem overwhelming to setup. But, it’s not really all that hard. Recently I’d moved this site from Drupal to WordPress which went pretty smooth except for a few small issues with [...]

Post image for Making Better Use of the WordPress Thesis Theme Categories

On Thanksgiving day, while waiting for the turkey to finish cooking I did some searching on the web. I was looking for a solution to make better use of the the categories in the wordpress Thesis theme.

While most people using Thesis will no doubt simply check the box that to not have the page indexed by the robots it kind of deletes the purpose of having those pages anyway.

If you’re running Wordpress for you blog no doubt you’re getting blog comment spam on a daily basis. I never really thought to much about it Wordpress ships with Akismet.

While Akismet does a great job in catching most of the comment spam it still requires you to wade through all of the spam, and delete it.

Post image for WordPress Theme Thesis Static Front Page & Blog Page

This past Saturday, I finally decided to get to work with the Wordpress Thesis theme. I wanted to create a static front page and also have a blog section. The challenge arose with you guessed it duplicate titles and duplicate description fields.

Although I should be fair I do believe it had more to do with using the All-In-One-SEO wordpress plugin then anything to do with either Thesis or Wordpress. It took me almost 6 hours to get it setup, seems like no matter what I tried it just would not work.

Post image for WordPress 2.5.1 Duplicate Content Issue Theme Related.

This 4th of July weekend, I spent probably close to 60+ hours trying to figure out an issue with a new wordpress 2.5.1 blog template. I had run into an issue with duplicate content after moving blog from and old style theme. The issue was the new template did not have a next – previous link to step through the blog.

This new wordpress template pulls into various sections, blog posts from various categories, really a sweet looking template. What sent me into a panic was when I looked at the indexing by google and discovered the issue of duplicate content.
