The SEO plugins I installed to my WordPress
While playing with my WordPress installation I noticed that it has several features missing. For example, I’d expect better options (or at least some default options) for search engine optimization. There were basically none, so I installed several plugins to do that job. I’m still testing them, but here’s the list:
- All in One Webmaster
- Google Analyticator
- Google XML Sitemaps
- SEO Friendly Images
- HeadSpace2
I’m still missing a tool for meta keywords, although I haven’t really tested the last plugin on the list.
I have also turned on friendly URLs for my posts. You can do that by going to your admin page, select Settings from the main menu on the left, then Permalinks, then select Month and name in Common Settings. Of course, I had to make my .htaccess file on the server writeable by logging on to the server and executing this code:
chmod 777 .htaccess
Now my URLs are user and search engine friendly.

Connecting Windows XP to Windows 7
My girlfriend just bought her new EEE (it’s 1101HA, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard disk, black) with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I also own an EEE, but it’s from the first series (701, 4 GB SSD disk, no hard disk, Xandros OS).
I was trying to upload some free programs to my girlfriend’s EEE from my desktop computer (it runs Windows XP). I tried by sharing a folder on her nettop and copying the files there. I see her computer on my XXp computer, but access is always denied, even when she put the folder in sharing mode with everyone and later everyone in the network. Will still keep trying…

WordPress feeds in XML
I have just thought about the feeds in XML for Google Reader or similar readers. I was not sure if WordPress has this feature or not. As it turn out, the feed is generated automatically and nothing needs to be done. The URL to the feed is /feed, so in my case this is http://www.bestresizer.com/feed/. Try it yourself!
The feed is useful for users who want to subscribe to your blog and for automatic notification of search engines of a new content on your blog.
