As I promised in my last blog post about Nginx versus Lighttpd, I have written a step-by-step guide for those of you webmasters who want to be able to handle more web traffic by switching your WordPress blog to Nginx.
So far, based on 24 hour testing, it seems like Nginx does have a slight memory leak but clearly a lot better than Lighttpd. It will take couple more days to figure out if there’s more memory leak or not.
So far, switching to Nginx has had some dramatic speed improvements over Lighttpd on most of our websites.
Well, it’s been a long c
For those of you who want to track outbound links of your web traffic in Google Analytics, there is a free and easy way to do it using Google Analytics Plugin for WordPress.

It’s been exactly 2 years, 7 months, and 26 days since this site was started. In the beginning, this site wasn’t even a real blog, I used basic HTML code to create couple pages that looked like a blog.

Well, I have a really long weekend as I worked through the weekend (as usual) but I still have plenty of interviews from Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco to blurt out.
Pringo is a new social networking platform that is compatible with many CMS including WordPress. From what I can see, you can take your blog to another level by adding Pringo to your blog.

If you know your code, you can skip this video. But if you are just starting out and what to get to know the basics, as well has some helpful tips on how to mess with your theme, take a look.
I haven’t used Google Friend Connect before, but I’ve noticed it popping up on WordPress blogs here and there. So I figured I’d throw up a tutorial video, just in case you haven’t heard of it either.
The setup is as basic as it gets, with only one small challange — downloading and then uploding some files from Google to your server.

So, here’s another good WordPress video, which offers some picks for wordpress plugins.
I use a number of these plugins on my blog, and I know Max uses a lot of these as well here at Zedomax.
