No need to worry about indexing anymore

Everytime i made a new blog post i used to check in Google and other search engines to see if it’s been indexed. Not anymore. I hardly every check now because Google is probably guaranteed to index a blog post within one hour. If it doesn’t then it’s usually when it next crawls your site. This is good because if you want to get some traffic quickly and have some good news to post you can...

The en-suite was excellent; it had a large corner bath with a waterfall feature by the taps, so as you turn it on the water flows nicely into the bath. It was also...

WordPress comments disappeared

I woke up this morning to find that all my comments had disappeared from this blog and talkplaystation.com. This worried me straight away. I checked the database and they were all in there, so it couldnt be a sql problem. Then it clicked, i remembered that i had upgraded my plugins yesterday. Google Analytics for WordPress was the plugin that caused the problem and there was an update ready for me to...

2 of many updates completed for talkplaystation

I’ve now completed my second update for talkplaystation.com. This time it was ‘Make subscribe to RSS more visible rather than e-mail’. Basically what i’ve done is removed ‘Recent Posts’ that was in the sidebar and instead put in place the subscribe details. I mentioned that i would only put RSS information there but it makes sense to include both RSS and email...
