Add nofollow Attribute Value to Read More Link

patembe — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:00:54 +0000

Sometimes if you write article in your wordpress blog, you might using more tag to separate the teaser and the main content. If you check to the source of your read more link, automatically it doesn’t have a rel attribute. The left picture show you the appear of the more tag on wordpress. This tag is called by the the_content('Read more...') function.

I have search how to insert additional rel attribute from the theme’s file, but didn’t found any solution. So the alternative way is to hack the core file of the wordpress engine. For your information when you call more tag actually you also call the function get_the_content that actually is stored in post-template.php located in wp-includes directory.

After you find and open your post-template.php file, search for the get_the_content function, there you’ll see this line:

$output .= ' "#more-$id\">$more_link_text";

Edit that line by adding a rel attribute:

$output .= ' "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\"  rel=\"nofollow\">$more_link_text";

Save it and done. I believe this is one of the many ways to add a nofollow attribe value to the read more link on WordPress engine

Quick Comments WordPress Plugins

patembe — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:10:58 +0000

This is the one of most important plugin that I recomended to use, like I have done to this blog. Actually there are many commenting plugins that you can use, take the example of this one called WDP AJAX Comments. This plugin will integrate AJAX commenting feature into your WordPress Blog. It uses the powerful JavaScript Framework jQuery to handle AJAX requests and jQuery Validation plugin by bassitance.de to validate comment form on the client side.

For those that been wondering how my blog commenting system is submitting comment without reloading the whole page, the answer is AJAX commenting. I prefer to use Quick Comments plugins, this plugins also can be use to integrate AJAX commenting feature in your WordPress Blog. This plugins easy to use, it post comments quickly without leaving or refreshing the page. If you use this plugin, you can also set if you want to allow user to edit their comment or not. Another feature is it will reject the spam automatically. (IP Address is registered in the DNSBL “SPAM Champuru“).

The main purpose I use this plugin is to reduce http request from my blog (include saving bandwidth) How about your blog? Hmm.. You may check this out a ‘simple’ tutorial about how to implementing AJAX commenting to your blog WordPress Ajax Commenting revisited. Doesn’t enough? So why don’t you see How to Create Ajax Comment here.

Just Begining 2 [End]

patembe — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:08:36 +0000

This post is the continue from the first one. After configuring the option I installed some additional plugins. Here the listed plugin that I think more useful to be used in first after intalling wordpress, check it out!

1. Akismet (default plugin)

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need an API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments”. To show off your Akismet stats just put in your template.

If you’re a wordpress.com user you can get the API key for free take your API key on your WordPress.com profile.

2. Platinum SEO Pack

Complete SEO solution for your WordPress blog.

This plugin to help you costumize the SEO for your blog, usually I prefer to use the most popular one called All In One SEO Pack, but for this new blog I prefer and use the Platinum SEO Pack as it has a few more options, I just want to explore the feature of this plugin that many people say AIOSP don’t have.

3. Google XML Sitemaps

This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog.

Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. More detail on sitemaps.org

4. WP-PageNavi

Adds a more advanced paging navigation to your WordPress blog

This plugin will help us to paginate our blog easily.

5. WP Prevent author impersonation

Prevent author impersonation in WordPress comments, base on http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/prevent-author-impersonation-in-wordpress-comments/.

This modification to WordPress prevents unregistered comment authors from using the names or email addresses of the registered authors on your site.

IMHO that’s all the plugins that most important to be used for your first wordpress intalling. For the next additional plugin why don’t you check it on WordPress Plugins directory.

One more optional plugins that I found from maseko is LikeButton.me, and should be there’s one plugin that work fine for it called JP-Facebook (Adds a Facebook ‘Like’ button to any page on your blog).

Just The Begining 1

patembe — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:39:13 +0000

According to the title, in this post I just want to share, how am I starting this blog (again). But the first let me say thanks to Arie Putranto, that has give me some help to run this blog (again). As you know several days months ago this blog has suspended by the web hosting provider.

Ok then “just let it flow”.:lol: As usual, I use fantastico installer from cpanel to create this blog, although there the WordPress version still 2.9.2 I’ve upgrade it to version 3.0 automatically via dashboard administrator, then for the first new launching of this blog, I prefer to use a simple theme (called iNove) that you can get it for free in the WordPress theme directory. I like this theme because, it’s not only simple but also stylish believe it or not, explore it then.

I have done some modification of core file of this theme, just to make better than default. Hmm.. before I forget, I will share my experience about how I set up wordpress configuration for the first use.

After installing wordpress, the first thing I do is check the Settings menu, start from general until the last one permalink. In General option I didn’t change anything. In the Writing option I prefer to change the value of Size of the post box to 50 lines (default: 10) to prepare for the next when I write new post, the width of post box (where we write the post) will expand, so I can view more detail for the long post. Also in the writing option we could add some url of Update Services (I’ll do it later).

Next in the Reading menu (use for set up how our blog show for the reader), I also didn’t change anything here.The next option is Media, I change the value of the menu Image sizes, I give uncheck value for the option thumbnail size, set max height and max width = 0. this is to prevent wordpress make a thumbnail for the post that contain image (to save the disk space on web server). I just let the Privacy option by default, but in the Permalinks option, I prefer to use constum structure /%postname%/ (as you know the permalink structure will give affect to the SEO).

One of the important tips is to hack the wp-config.php file in the root directory, add some code

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);

To disable post revisions in WordPress, as you know since version 2.6 WordPress introduced Wikipedia style document revisions where you have access to all previous version of the document making it easy to revert incase you make any mistakes. This may be a great feature for blogs where multiple authors work on the same blog post but 99% of WordPress users don’t need it. Post revisions also increase the size of WordPress wp_posts table as each revision means an additional row. (waste our mysql disk space).

Exactly there are still many more tips for blogging with WordPress stand alone engine that actually that I will share to you, but for the next post.

Bagaimana Membuat Blog dengan Dua Bahasa atau Lebih?

patembe — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:44:08 +0000

Bagaimana cara membuat pengunjung asing menyukai blog Anda jika mereka tidak mengerti bahasa yang Anda gunakan? Solusinya adalah dengan menambahkan fitur penerjemah bahasa ke dalam website atau blog Anda. Berikut ini adalah langkah-langkah mudah yang dapat Anda gunakan untuk menyediakan fitur penerjemah instant pada website Anda. Sehingga pengunjung blog/website dapat dengan mudah menerjemahkan halaman web Anda ke dalam bahasa mereka, hanya dengan menekan tautan atau gambar bendera negara mereka yang telah Anda sediakan.

Menggunakan mesin penerjemah pada blog atau website adalah cara yang paling mudah untuk membantu pembaca dari negara lain sehingga dapat terjalin komunikasi. Baik blogger menulis dalam bahasa Indonesia dan pembaca menggunakan bahasa Inggris, maupun sebaiknya, keduanya masih dapat memahami satu sama lain.

Zaman sekarang, kebanyakan orang sudah memulai blogging dengan beberapa bahasa, untuk dapat menjalin komunikasi dengan pengunjung diluar blogshpere Indonesia. Beberapa layanan penerjemah gratis memungkinkan blogger untuk menulis artikel baik itu dalam bahasa Indonesia, Inggris, Jerman, Prancis, Spanyol, dan bahasa lainnya secara simultan.

Layanan penerjemah bahasa yang paling terkenal adalah yang ditawarkan oleh Google, AltaVista Babelfish and WorldLingo. Dengan menggunakan layanan ini, pembaca yang berbahasa Inggris, Prancis, Spanyol, Jerman, Itali, Portugal, Belanda, China, Jepang, Korea, atau Rusia akan dapat menerjemahkan suatu halaman web ke dalam bahasa yang mereka pakai.

Di atas 65% pengguna internet menggunkan bahasa selain bahasa Inggris, sehingga dengan menyediakan fitur penerjemah pada blog Anda adalah hal yang bisa dibilang penting. Dengan website multi bahasa, website Anda akan lebih mudah diakses dan popular, jika pengguna dapat menerjemahkan isi dari halaman web ke dalam bahasa mereka sendiri.

Kebanyakan pengguna Blogger ataupun WordPress Self Hosted, menyediakan sebuah kotak penerjemah ke dalam website atau blog mereka. Sehingga untuk menerjemahkan sebuah halaman web, pengunjung hanya tinggal memilih bahasa apa yang ingin mereka baca, dengan menekan tombol translate yang disediakan tadi. [World Lingo, Google Translate, BabelFish Translate]. Ini adalah cara termudah untuk membuat website multi bahasa, walaupun penerjemahan konten dari halaman web tersebut masih diterjemahkan secara “kasar”.

Khusus bagi pengguna WordPress Self Hosted, ada beberapa plugin yang telah dikembangkan, dan bisa Anda gunakan untuk membuat blog dengan dua bahasa atau lebih, lihat:

Polyglot oleh Martin Chlupac
Language Switcher oleh Jennifer Hodgdon
Gengo oleh Jamie Talbot
xLanguage oleh Sam Wong, atau
xili-language oleh MS xiligroup

Sedangkan yang saya gunakan untuk blog ini, adalah plugin dengan nama qTranslate, karena setelah saya coba, dengan qTranslate dapat membuat artikel dengan dua bahasa atau lebih, semudah bekerja dengan hanya menggunakan satu bahasa. Untuk informasi lebih lanjut mengenai fitur-fitur dari plugin qTranslate silahkan kunjungi halaman dokumentasinya. Bagaimana dengan Anda?
