How to Fix Shoutmix Error During Blogwalking

hasan — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:04:55 +0000

Everyone already know that something was happened in shoutmix, yes you are right, shoutmix is seemed in error now. Three days ago, January 20th, shoutmix went just fine, nothing wrong, but in January 21st something happened, our link was not appeared, why?, I don’t know exactly .

You and me know that most blogwalker use shoutmix for blogwalking, visiting from one blog to the other blog, or even using auto blogwalker application, so that you don’t wasted much time for it. To get more visitors back to our blog, we must leave many messages to the other shoutboxs, and the result, you leave almost the same message in every blogs you have visited.

I myself did what I mentioned above, I just copy and paste every time leaving message in the other blog, I thought this is the easy way to get more visitors back to my blog. I have received warning from shoutmix about leaving the same message within short periode, eg., about every 5 second we submit or shout message. Actually I think this is not error from shoutmix, it is the action taken by shoutmix to prevent spamming (leaving the same message within short periode), even worse shoutmix know that many blogwalker use shoutmix to click exchange ads, or well known as ki$$, or real $mile , I my self realized that I was happy when visitor left the message like that.

As I mentioned above, maybe…, I say maybe because I’m not sure that it’s really true, This condition is not Shoutmix error, Shoutmix currently working fine, but they have taken action to block such IP address that appeared to be spammer, so that you couldn’t leave your link in name, message or even link field.

To fix this problem, before blogwalking I setup my network to use proxy setting. Simply go to Tools menu > Options then choose Advanced, in Network tab click setting Connection (for firefox). Where can you find IP proxy? To get IP proxy go here, and find out anonymous proxy without name in proxy list.

Some proxy number sometimes not working properly, if this happened, please try to find out others. After blogwalking you can bring back your connection setting to No Proxy.

If you tired doing these, you can use the others shoutbox or chatbox service like cbox and oggix. This is final decision to avoid shoutmix error and I saw some blogwalker have move out from shoutmix and choose Cbox instead. If you have any idea please share to others, write down your comment below.

YARPP, The Easy Way to Show Related Post

hasan — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:38:47 +0000

Related post is the other posts that have relation with the post you currently reading, as well as in tag, category or the words you use in the post (keywords). Generally, people shows their related post below the post currently reading, but of course they don’t place the other posts completely, they just place the links to them.

Showing your related post is very useful to attract your visitor to see the other posts, most targeted to the old posts. it will reduce your bounce rate. Bounce rate is the value of visitor that just visit one page of your blog, lower bounce rate increase your blog quality.

The other benefit of showing related post is to increase your inbound link. Inbound link is the link that direct to page or post in the same blog.

Sometimes, people modify their post template to show their related post, but for people that is not familiar with code it maybe become the obstacle.

Wordpress is powerful open source for blogging that supported with many plugins. There are many wordpress plugins to show related post below your post, such as related post, wordpress related post plugin, aizattos related post, yet another related post plugin (YARPP). At this time I will explain about Yet Another Related Post plugin, I think this is better than others about showing related post, some plugin sometimes shows related post under the post but in fact they has no relation with the post.

To start making related post with YARPP, follow these steps:

Download YARPP plugin here
Upload YARPP to your plugin directory.
Activate YARPP via your admin page.
Configure the setting of YARPP like the picture below.

Define the value of Match Threshold in , this parameter to measure relevance level between post. higher value will increase the relevancy and makes related post more selective, and you get less related post overall. If you have just a few post set this value to 2 or 3.
Check Consider option to increase appearance of related post.

At Display options for your website section, set the value of Maximum Number of Related Post

Related post by default appear with number, you can change this with bullet or any other style. For instance, if you want to change to bullet instead of number, change the Before / after related entries: with the code below, change also the text of Related post with Similar post

Step by Step Upgrading Wordpress Manually

hasan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:35:33 +0000

As we know that wordpress grows time to time, and develop the existence version to new one, so everything become better. There are two ways to upgrade wordpress, automatically and manually. To update wordpress automatically, you need just by clicking the link in new update banner, in the top of your admin page with the anchor text please update now. You can also upgrade automatically by going to Tools then select Upgrade menu. Update automatically is very simple than upgrade manually, it is very important to backup your database first before doing upgrade.

Sometimes, we find error during upgrading wordpress automatically such can not write file to the server host or any other reason. In this way, upgrading wordpress manually is your choice, although this need your patient during uploading files to your file hosting.

In this post, I use the Byethost service as my hosting files, but generally upgrading wordpress manually is about the same. To start upgrading wordpress manually you can follow the step by step below:

Step 1: You should back up your database. To back up your database ussually this file in sql format, you should go to your phpmyadmin page, and export database to your local drive, to make it easier, ensure that you export in compressed file. This is very important just in case something goes wrong, so you can easily restore your database.

Step 2: Download the latest version of wordpress to replace your old wordpress files and folders.

Step 3 : Extract wordpress zip file, you will find the three main folder of wordpress (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes), and the main root files such as index.php, wp-cron.php, wp-login.php and others, it is maybe about 23 files.

Step 4: Compress the main folder of wp-admin and wp-includes except wp-content, so you have wp-admin.zip and wp-includes.zip

Step 5: Login to your hosting Cpanel, and select file manager.

Step 6: Upload wp-admin.zip and wp-includes.zip to the your main root (public_html).

Step 7: Rename folder wp-admin and folder wp-includes, example: wp-adminold and wp-includesold. Renaming this folder is more easily instead of moving these folder to other location. Both renaming and moving these folder have same objective, to backup your folder. You can delete the old folder after you succeed upgrading to new version.

Step 8: Extract or unzip wp-admin.zip and wp-includes.zip to the main root folder (public_html). So you have new wp-admin and wp-includes folder.

Step 9: Overwrite files in your main root (public_html) with new wordpress files, about 23 files (as mentioned in the step 3). Don’t change or delete other files that have no related with upgrading wordpress, example: sitemap.xml, .htaccess, or any other files for verification ownership.

Step 10: Visit your main WordPress admin page at /wp-admin. You may be asked to login again. If a database upgrade is necessary at this point, WordPress will detect it and give you a link to a URL like http://www.example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php. Follow that link and follow the instructions. This will update your database to be compatible with the latest code.

How to Make a Blog Using Free Domain and Hosting

hasan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:00:09 +0000

I’m sure you already know what a blog is, Blog is contraction from Weblog, it is a type of website that maintained usually by personal people with regular basis of content or post. People use blog for some reasons such as express their activities, sharing information or knowledge with others, or even for individual business like introducing a product.

For people that is not familiar with internet, may have a question how to make a blog?. When start learning, it is not so bad for making a blog freely using free domain and free hosting. What is domain? domain is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS). Hosting is internet service where you store data files of your blog, so that your blog can be accessed thru the World Wide Web.

There are many services that offer domain and hosting freely, but at this time I want to use Free Domain Co.cc and Free hosting ByetHost. The reasons why I used this free hosting are that Byet provides free FTP, PHP 5, MySQL and our very popular feature: The Automatic Script Installer (Like Fantastico) You can install many popular scripts such as PHPbb2 and PHPbb3, Wordpress, Zen-Cart, osCommerce, MyBB, UseBB, MyLittle Forum, 4images, Coppermine, SMF, Joomla, e107, XOOPS, PHP Wind, CuteNews, Mambo, WikiWig and many more! No need to wait a long time uploading files, Byet Automatic Script Installer deploys your files in seconds! You can find Byet Automatic Script Installer in the Vistapanel.

Let’s begin with Sign Up for free domain Co.cc by going to www.co.cc then click Create Account Now link, or go here. Fill the form for Username and Password and form Account Information like the pictures above. After you complete all fields, check I accept the Terms of Service and press Create an Account Now button. If you entered correct data, your account page will now appear.

Once you succeed creating Co.cc account, you can now create Co.cc name for your domain by pressing Getting a New Domain link. in the Search for available domain names box, enter your free domain name, e.g: justexample then press Check Availability to ensure whether domain name you entered has not been used by other people. If your domain name is available you can continue registration by pressing Continue to Registration button.

Once your domain name successfully registered, you should set up domain by pressing Set up button, or Domain Settings -> Manage Domain -> Select your domain -> Set Up. If you don’t set up registered domain within 48 hours, Co.cc will cancel the registration. In set up domain page there are 3 methods: Name Server, Zone Record, URL Forwarding, this time I will choose Name Server method, later you will enter name server related to your hosting.

The Next step, you should register to free hosting service, Byethost. Fill the blank fields, and ensure you enter valid email address, this will use to activate your account. Check your email, and find activation email in your inbox, click activation link given by Byethost. Account information has been created, save this information, you will need these information to manage your account and setup a blog.

Ok, now you have free domain and free hosting account. To start making a blog you should login to your Control panel, url listed. Enter your username and password. Your control panel page appear now, start by setting up domain first. In Domain menu, click Addon Domains, enter your free domain you have created in Co.cc, in my example I created justexample.co.cc then press Add Domain button. You should back to your Co.cc account to setup Name Server. In the picture below Byethost has 5 name server, enter these name server when setup domain, you should add 3 more name server, press Setup button after entering all 5 name server of Byethost.

We almost finish creating a blog, now you will install software for blog. In Software & Services, click i-Vista Easy Script Installation link. Select your destination in drop-down menu, then press Proceed button. In the next step you should select software, Byethost serves several software such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Zen Cart, etc. At this time you select wordpress 2.8 as your software, press Install Now button.

when selecting path, leave the field blank because we plan to install in root directory of justmyexample.co.cc, then press Complete Install button. Congratulation, you just successful created a blog with url justmyexample.co.cc, this is type non-www, if you want to change this blog become www.justmyexample.co.cc, simply go to admin page and change your blog url in setting page.

Making Your Long URL Become Tiny and Simple

hasan — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:02:54 +0000

I have experience when I posted a thread in a forum that I should type very long URL, although eventually I just copy and paste it. Obviously, having a long URL sometimes make you inconvenience, when you writing an email, or when you should post that have word count limited, making your URL shorter is better choice.

There are many services that offer you shorten URL, but right now, I just explain mostly with TinyURL service. Basically, TinyUrl is a URL forwarding service, or people well known as URL Cloaking, URL Masking, that mean the techniques on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs.

To get your shorten or tiny URL, simply go to TinyURL, then fill the blank field with your long URL, example: http://www.hasannudin.com/tips-and-tricks/using-seo-friendly-urls-for-better-search-results/, then press Make TinyURL!, a tinyURL will be created for you.

We can see that original URL has a length of 92 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters.

If you have many file in your category, you can also make it smaller just add slash and filename. For example: you have category google and seo tips like this URL http://www.hasannudin.com/google-and-seo-tips, by entering to tinyURL you get this URL http://tinyurl.com/mtxhhk. So if you have file under this category, you just add slash and filename. http://www.hasannudin.com/google-and-seo-tips/myfile.php, you can use http://tinyurl.com/mtxhhk/myfile.php

Generally most people sometimes not respect when they know that the URL has affiliate code, Hiding your affilate URL can also be done with this service. Your visitors will not realize that the URL has affiliate code.

Warning: Don’t use this service for spamming or any ilegal purpose that will make TinyURL get disabled.

Another services that work as well as TinyURL are lo.ly, bit.ly, is.gd, tiny.cc, doiop, w3t, alturl, blog-w, and many others or you can find by yourself via google search engine with keyword tiny url or shorten url.
