All In One SEO Plugin Reaches 10 Million Downloads

I use All in One SEO on all of my wordpress blogs. I agree with Mark, yoast has way to many options, some that are necessary and some are not.

Where Are The Settings For That Plugin?

I use Admin Menu Editor in every WP project I use. Couldn’t recommend it more than I do already.

I only wish I could push my changes out across a multi-site installation.

WPTavern Is Back – I Think

I thought I’d recommend looking into using Google Apps For Your Domain for e-mail. Here’s the link to the standard (read: free) version: Standard Google Apps.

It’s hosting independent, so if you move in the future, you can just make sure the dns at the new server has the mail pointing to google’s servers, and you should be good to go, with no loss of data. Plus it uses the gmail engine, which is pretty great and flexible. Here’s info on setting up google apps with HostGator.

WPWeekly Episode 87 – The LOST Episode

Okay, got around to listening to the latest wp weekly. I don’t think there’s anything preventing you from editing the actual files (you could copy all the templates from the hybrid folder to the hybrid-news folder and edit away). The problem is when you go to upgrade Hybrid, you’re missing out on features that may have been added to those templates in the Hybrid folder. Things might still run smoothly, or things will simply just not work.

By using hooks to interact with the templates, it makes upgrading so much easier. Mind you, I’m a developer, so a lot of this is easier to me, than it would be to a non-developer. But for a non-developer, how great is it to be able to update your theme and not have to worry about your site breaking because of changes you’ve made to your template files?

I think things like drag and drop to handle layout, should be the job of a plugin (or the child theme). Even a framework specific plugin, if need be. I like the idea of the framework as a base, and extra functionality like layouts and options being left to child theme and plugin developers.

Hopefully the WordPress Bible’s information on hooks that you referred to in the podcast will “click” with you, and you’ll get the hang of it. Things like the Hybrid Hook plugin make things a bit easier too. Not sure how often you read the support forums over at themehybrid.com, but the community there is pretty good at answering any questions you have. Chances are the question has already been asked and answered, even.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen this, but it’s where I first learned about hooks, and might be useful for you. It’s for Thesis, but the idea is transferrable to other frameworks like Thematic and Hybrid:

Review Of Front End Editor Plugin

worked pretty darn well on my child theme for BP 1.2.1 and WP 3.0a.

would, like others above, be nice to limit inline editing to just admins who know what they’re doing.
