Displaying 1 To 11 Of 11 Comments Yoast On Why Some Themes Hurt Your SEO There’s no link to the article you quoted? » Posted By Jon On March 7, 2012 @ 4:17 PM Determining Which Plugins Are Slowing Your Site Down Out of a total of 20 plugins (including YARP, GravityForms, Syntax HLE, WordPress SEO), W3TC ranked #1 by a long-shot, weighing it at nearly 74% on every test I ran. For comparison, I installed WPSC to see how big the difference would be and it came in at only 7%. Not sure how accurate the details are, as I’ve not really dove into the plugin or done much more than the basic test, but that’s a pretty heavy hit from such popular plugin versus such a light hit from one that’s equally popular. I know W3TC has a little bit more integrated with the minification, CDN, etc, though still, does that really make up the 67% difference? » Posted By Jon On February 18, 2012 @ 7:10 AM Limiting The Amount Of Text In Comments Yeah, not a fan of doing this. I’d rather use a captcha or just stick with Akismet, to combat spam. Akismet does a dang good job, in my opinion. » Posted By Jon On December 9, 2011 @ 2:28 PM WordPress Gameshow Now Available To Play From Home @Jeremy – Pretty close there with ya, I think I missed 2 or 3. There were just a few that I wasn’t sure, but overall, I think nailed it. 8 years using WordPress, I better have a good understanding it by now ;) » Posted By Jon On November 22, 2011 @ 12:14 PM Should The Admin Bar Have A ‘More’ Menu? @Justin Tadlock – I agree, it should stay minimal. It can quickly become bloated if too much crap gets up there. W3TC adds a “Performance” tab and I find it extremely useful to clear my cache, but I can only imagine how much crap would go up there if more plugin authors felt compelled to add their tabs up there. » Posted By Jon On November 17, 2011 @ 2:46 PM First Patch Into WordPress By Coen Jacobs @Ryan – It was committed within 10 minutes of the ticket opening! :) http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/18758 » Posted By Jon On September 26, 2011 @ 7:47 AM Jeffro, I don’t quite understand how you are not able to monetize this blog. It seems like you have an awesome fan base and you keep pumping out great content. This site seems like it would be a great candidate for BuySellAds, where you could be paid monthly and not have to be a “salesman” of any sort. Additionally, with your traffic, it also seems like you could make a killing with Google’s Adsense, I’m not sure if either of these go against your vision for the blog but they seem like they would make you quite a bit of money. I love your site and wish you all the best. » Posted By Jon On September 9, 2011 @ 2:00 AM WPWeekly Episode 110 – Everyone Wants A Jetpack Good to hear you again Jeff… Drat though… I missed it live again… With how irregular shows have become I would love to subscribe to an email newsletter that let me know a day or two _before_ a live show so I could tune in. One note regarding Media… I’ve been a huge proponent of overhauling media since I built my first WordPress as a CMS site (ie. non-blog site). Media frankly works ok for blogging, but it’s miserable if you need to keep and manage an organized media library that you’ll pull from directly when creating content months from now. There desperately needs to be a way to organize uploaded media (tags, categories, searchable metadata) so that users can search for and find already uploaded media. » Posted By Jon On March 27, 2011 @ 3:29 PM Top 5 WordPress Security Tips You Most Likely Don’t Follow Yeah, my static IP changed the other day (due to less than competent ISP) and I was locked out of my server and WP admin. Starting to rethink that option now! » Posted By Jon On July 12, 2010 @ 4:22 AM Regarding moving the wp-config, is it possible to store it alongside other wp-configs, ie. rename them? I run a site that for historic reasons is 5 WP blogs each in a sub-directory. So I cannot just shift the wp-config up one level. Could I either rename the file, or specify a location? » Posted By Jon On April 23, 2010 @ 7:37 PM Thanks for these tips. I am certainly going to do the htaccess one, as I only ever access from home. If I do travel then it can be modified by ftp anyway? I always delete the admin account and do the secret keys to. I always suggest that people also remove all visual signs that it is a WP blog. Remove the “powered by” link in the footer and do not put the META widget on – how hard is it to type wp-admin in the address bar? Little things keep people from finding you. I see you have the “powered by” below. If you still want to give something back, then just change the words “Uses open source software” or something. Or just give back in other ways, by promoting it in your blog, telling friends etc. » Posted By Jon On April 21, 2010 @ 3:41 PMComments Posted By Jon
