How to make conversations work for blogs

In order for you to be able to make conversations work for your blog, you need to be updated whenever a new comment has been posted on your blog. While it would be good to respond to comments as and when you see them, nothing really beats the ability to respond to comments immediately! I’m [...]

The site map to the Internet GYM

Installing WordPress MU on a CPanel/WHM Server

I was encountering some difficulties installing WordPress MU 1.0 using different subdomains, and I finally figured it out after some time, so I thought I’d do a walkthough to help fellow MU-wannabes. I think its important, first to understand that different web hosts use different admin control panel systems, and mine is using CPanel/WHM. [...]

Social Bookmarking Icons

A friend of mine was posting to our common Yahoo! Group, asking for assistance with his WordPress blog. What he was facing was that his permalinks weren’t working. They all ended up pointing to the 404 error file. What was the error? I think he messed up with his .htaccess file! Its [...]
