Make Wordpress post faster
November 30, 2008 by evl
I've had some trouble recently with Wordpress. Every time i wanted to post something the page would just hang. I search all over the internet until eventually and ironically i got to wordpress.org and found the code.
The code to remove is this:
<?php
$metadata = has_meta($post->ID);
list_meta($metadata);
?>
from this file wp-admin\edit-form-advanced.ph
But I want to go further with that, Removing that code is a great idea even if you are not experiencing problems because it does take longer than it would without that code. So if you want your post page to load faster just remove that code.

October 29, 2008 by evl
I could not think of another title. But the fact is that the blogging niche still sucks today. Yes, i know not everyone sucks, especially some of the sites I visit regularly but what I am talking about is in general. If you look closely and you join most sites that blog about making money or blogging you will notice that when something goes hot, everyone blogs about it.Changing the course of this blog
October 28, 2008 by evl
I also thought about blogging about online tips and such, but I have never wanted to blog about these things until I was at a place where I could give prove, many people still dont believe that you can make a living by blogging but it is possible. So i would like to change the focus from general stuff to blogging, wordpress and more online things. I know I have blogged about this earlier as well but did not exactly know how to change the course of this blog in a quick way.
Taking over more than one niche was my goal but you have to blog about what you want and what you like because if you dont you will lose focus and your blog will become another statistic.
Anyway the point is I can now blog about the things I love, which is blogging tips , Making a living on the internet and online marketing. Also dont forgot those Worpdress which has become my cms of choice for working with any site.
Please join my rss feed. ( Oh by the way wprecipes did a post about how to put your "subscribe" text at end of every post, you can read it here.
I am going to put that on a bit later but adding rss to every page is the first step to getting those readers to subscribe.
Make a living online, not make money online
October 28, 2008 by evl
I guess the title sounds a bit contradictory but most people that blog about making money on the internet just starts a blog and starts blogging about making money. I know because I did exactly the same.
While there is nothing wrong with that I think one should not aim to just make money on the internet but rather aim to make a living on the internet because then you would know what your target is.
For instance if you need $2000 a month at least to pay all your debts, that is what you should be aiming for and laying out the steps to get there will make the journey much easier.
I think its more reasonable to aim to make a living on the internet than it is to become really rich. Sure some people do become rich but as I said in a earlier post that is not for everyone.
So if you want to be independent from a boss and work from home, its not impossible, just dont think its easy and it might be a get rich quick scheme, because blogging is a bit harder than most people think when they start.

Hide certain categories from displaying on your homepage in Wordpress
October 27, 2008 by evl
>First of all you need to find this piece of code in your theme, either in home.php or index.php<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>Then you need to insert this piece of code directly below it
<?php if (in_category('235') && is_home()) continue; ?>But you need to replace 235 with your category you want to exclude. You can find the category by going to manage-categories, then you need the ID of the category. Now that's how you exclude a category from the homepage in Wordpress.
