NextGEN Gallery wordpress plugin is fantastic

I was looking for a plugin that would manage galleries/images better and in a more organised way and i found the perfect plugin that does this. NextGEN Gallery is the Gallery Plugin for WordPress you only need. Its simply brilliant, probably the best plugin i’ve used so far. I’m not using NextGEN Gallery on this blog i’m using it for talk playstation because a lot of screenshots get...

I might run a contest

No not on this blog! But on talk playstation. Why might i do this? Well for one it can be entertaining and the main thing is that it could draw some attention and gain more visitors/subscribers. So what might i use as a prize? I was looking at my Playstation 3 games collection and thought to myself; which games do i not play anymore and won’t play again. I was going to list them on eBay but i had the...

I almost forgot one thing

You know i did the custom 404 page for talk playstation yesterday? A user e-mailed me saying that the ’search did not find anything’ page wasn’t very good as it just displayed ‘Not Found’. So what i simply did was put the content from the 404 page into the search page and modified it a little. I’ve also added in a random post section underneath the RSS subscribe...

Updates talk playstation’s 404 page

I’ve updated talk playstation’s 404 page. So whenever a user gets lost or can’t find what they want a neat looking 404 page will help them further.

Well first of all i’ve got a message...

I mentioned that having a good split is very good and talk playstation wasn’t doing that for me, back then the split was mainly from refferals and direct traffic. I wanted to build upon search engine traffic. Well 2 months later i’m starting to see a lot more traffic come from search...

Looking at a few templates

I’m looking at a few Wordpress templates and i really like what i see Brian Gardner can produce. Why might i be looking at a new template? It’s not for this blog it’s for talk playstation. I feel it needs a magazine style wordpress theme. I’m interested in the Revolution Magazine Theme it looks fantastic. I will probably buy this theme in the future and pimp out talk playstation....

Giving blog directories a try + updates

I was browsing the digital point forums and came across a topic regarding blog directories. So i started to do some searching to find the best blog directories and start submitting this blog and talk playstation to those directories. This is what i’ve been doing most of this evening. It’s quite painful having to copy and paste your details etc into hundreds of differen’t directories but i...
