Posted on April 29, 2011 by max

In the recent months, I’ve been noticing less traffic coming to all of my blogs from Google.  Anyways, I thought it was because my site had too many ads or perhaps my content was “low-quality”.

WordPress Hack – How to Make Dynamic Magazine Style Theme Using WordPress 3.0 Featured Images!

Posted on July 18, 2010 by max

You know WordPress 3.0 was introduced couple weeks back and I was so excited that Matt and their team have done a beautiful job of implementing “Featured Images”, which allow you to make a “dynamic magazine” style theme, while not hindering performance of your WordPress.

Before WordPress 3.0 was out, I had been using my own custom code, which uses ImageMagick to re-size images so I can fit them into my custom magazine-style theme.

Posted on June 17, 2010 by max

Gina Trapani, founder of Lifehacker and one of my favorite hackers, shows you how to setup OpenID for your own websites so you can use one OpenID to sign into multiple websites.   This seems like a great idea for bloggers like myself who have at least a dozen different blog logins.

<link rel="openid2.provider" href="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud?source=profiles" > <link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.google.com/profiles/ginatrapani" >

Twitter DIY – How to Automatically add Hashtags to your Blog RSS Feed Tweets!

Posted on March 1, 2010 by max

In case you haven’t noticed, Google Feedburner has a great new Twitter feature that lets you automatically add hashtags to important keywords and categories.  I think this is a great way to get more exposure for your blog rss feed tweets.  The more hashtags you use, the more chances of your tweet being found/spread on the Twittersphere.

Adding hashtags to your tweets can certainly enhance the chances of your tweets being spread further into the Twittersphere.  If you have a blog and you are using tools like TwitterFeed or a wordpress plug-in, chances are that your bl

Linux Hack – How to Install DNS Cache!

Posted on January 23, 2010 by max

Yesterday, I was doing some researching on a new Twitter app site I was making.  Since I was going to be dealing with a heap of data, I needed to make sure the web server was optimized as much as it can.  One of the way to optimize your web server (or even your Linux desktop), is to install “DNS Cache”.

DNS Cache basically caches your DNS queries so if you try to access the same domain name again later, it’s retrieved from the cache in less than 1ms instead of taking another 20 to 500ms. (This depends but usually, it takes anywhere between 20 to 500ms for a DNS fe
