Reading in the shade

Do you want Free Pixels linking to your site?
Serradinho Free Pixels is a place where you can put a link to your site or product for free. Yes, I will not charge you monthly or yearly fees and your link will be shown for many, many months.

Plugins I think should be part of WordPress core functionality
As many of you know, there are hundreds and hundreds of WordPress plugins available for us users to download. There is almost a plugin for every need and that is why I have asked myself this question a million times. What plugins could be put into the core of WordPress?

I’m a Puzzle lover, are You?
Well, the question is straight forward if you ask me. You either like to build puzzles or you don’t, it’s not hard to know. You get easy puzzles and you also get those difficult ones which are always confusing.

Thesis Floating Icons – Find out how I did it
So, I had a look at a site and saw some cool buttons floating on the left hand side. I thought it would be nice if I could replicate the same effect on my site. At that stage I currently had a floating Twitter badge and even posted about how how to get it on your site.

Great reads ending 23rd August 2009

  1. How to Create A Facebook Fan Page For Your Blog – Facebook Fan Page helps you into Branding, Socializing and more over sending a message to all your Blog or service Fans.
  2. Get the Most Out of Your Old Posts – After publishing a post most people make the mistake of simply letting it go to be forgotten in your large archive which usually no one reads.
  3. Display Your Twitter Followers as Text – f you ask me, those little rectangular chicklets that people use to display their twitter followers and their Feedburner subscribers are getting old.
  4. Increase Google Adsense Revenue Using Competitive ad Filter – Competitive ad filter is a setting of adsense, which can be use to block such made for adsense for low cost per click websites. Or you can also block competitive blog ads to display on your blog.
  5. 4 Powerful Reasons to Start Guest Posting – If you’re like most bloggers then you want to get as much exposure for yourself, your blog and your work as possible.
  6. 15 Plugins to Make your WordPress Comment System Better – There are actually many ways with which you can improve your wordpress comment system and thus can increase the chances of getting more and better comments on your blog.
  7. Using Testimonials To Increase Sales – What I noticed is that the sales that I have made came from sites with testimonials.
  8. How do I Attract New Commentator on My blog? – Now the thing is , how do I approach or how do I make one time reader a regular reader on my blog.
  9. Kinda creepy – Twitter stalking - Apparently Twitter stalking is something that is done these days, just another way life in the last few years has changed things for us, even legally.

Final Thought
