MBP Ping Optimizer

If you’re like me then you write a post, publish it and then notice a stupid error in it (usually spelling or grammer for me). So you go back into the post, edit it and re-publish… only to notice another error. And so on until you are happy that the post is correct and a thing of beauty worthy of publication.

Now this quest for perfection is admirable and I’m sure your readers appreciate it.

Unfortunately, because of the way WordPress is setup you may be being punished.

When you publish a post or page WP sends out a ping via RPC pingomatic, this alerts various pinging services that you have made a change and it may be worthwhile sending in the ‘bots to have a look.

But, and here’s the problem for perfectionists, every time you edit – you ping, and some of the services take a very dim view of excessive pinging and will ban your site.

Here is where Max Blog Press Ping Optimizer shines.

You can set this plugin to limit excessive pinging to however many you believe you can get away with in a set period of time. I always use an MBP (Max Blog Press) setting of 1 ping in 60 minutes, although I can’t really tell you why I chose those settings, other than they just feel right!

In addition, you can import your own list of pinging sites. Now I know that a lot of people think that RPC Pingomatic is adequate… but do you want to settle for adequate? These are the pinging services that I use, if you know of anymore then please comment and let me know.

(If you read this in the next hour – please be patient, I don’t have my list with me, but will post it as soon as I get back to my office – I promise :-)   )

Update: I’m back now (and have edited some of the typos that are fast becoming features of my posts!)

Here is my list of ping sites. If you use any that are not listed then please post a comment and tell us.

Thanks.

However…

There was have been a few people struggling with the settup of the plugin. So Brian has kindly created a video to show exactly how to set up Deep Linking Engine and how to use it most effectively.

So here it is: The Deep linking engine help video.

Easy WordPress Backup

I was looking for a tool which would back-up my full WordPress site, including the database, layout, in fact everything.

Here was the specification I was looking for:

  • Easy to set up
  • Even easier to use
  • Backs up database
  • Backs up files
  • Scheduled back-up
  • Zips the back-up automaticaly
  • E-mails me the results

I downloaded plug-in after plug-in, and to be fair most of them were pretty good, but one stood out above the rest.

Bei Fen from David Schneider did everything I wanted, and even better, it was free.

Setup was a breeze, just tell it what type of back-up you want, if you want a scheduled or one off backup, if you want it zipping, etc, etc etc.

You can download it from David’s web site or search for Bei Fen

News: Version 2 of Bei Fen is in development, but David is looking for some help, o if you are a developer and are interested in becoming involved check out the project page at SourceForge.net, sign up for an account and join the group to get all necessary information and news about the process.

Semi-auto deep linking plugin

I’m just trying a new plugin which promises to gather backlinks to the deepest part of your site almost automatically.

It does this by analysing each new post you write thennipping off into the webisphere and finding relevant blogs.  You get to choose which tags you want the plugin to use for the blog search and then you get to choose which blogs that you want to link.

By linking to these other blogs we send a “pingback” notifying their blog’s software that we referrenced them on our website.

It takes time, but deep linking to your site is one of the best ways to maintain rankings.  Google likes to see links to lots of pages on your site, not just the main page.

The best thing about this software is that it is completely free.  Although, I’m not sure how long it will stay free for.

You can download it from here:

Deep Linking Engine

I would suggest giving it a try while it is still free.

UPDATE: Here is a Deep Linking Engine help video which shows how to effectively setup and use the plugin.

How to use Javascript in a post

Let's not mince our words here... WordPress, and most other blogging platforms just don't like JavaScript. And, the truth is, if you can find a way of not using it then do so.

However, there are times when you have no option.

So what do you do?

There are a couple of options. The first is drop a text box widget into the sidebar and paste the code into there. This works fine, but isn't any good if you want to use JavaScript in the body of a post for a Captcha or Auto responder script etc.

I tried lots of plugins, which claim to allow the insertion of JaveScript into a post with varying degrees of success. The one I eventuly settled on is created by Volcano called Inline JavaScript

Once you have installed it here's how to use it: (NOTE - You need to remove the spaces in the brackets - I had to insert them to stop the plugin running!)

[ inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

If you would like to add any text after your JavaScript enter a line break code < br > followed by your text. eg.

[  inline]

< the JavaScript you want to insert >

[ /inline]

< br >

Your text.

It's simple and it works well. Here's what it looks like in action (and will subscribe you onto my updates list - which I thouroughly recommend :-)   )
