			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO is one of the most important factors to a successful blog or website.  SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) is applied not only to help drive traffic to your website, but also optimise the site for better results in Google and other search engines. <span id="more-604"></span></p>
<p><strong>Redirection</strong></p>
<p>In improving our wordpress blogs, we cannot avoid our permalinks to be broken. This happens when you make changes to an old post, or maybe in upgrading or improving your wordpress blog also when you make changes on your permalinks. These changes can break up your entire wordpress blog.</p>
<p>Ill explain what really happens behind these changes, each post has its own URL this is what we call permalinks. When it is broken, those visitors won’t findyour blog post. The redirection plugin helps you to redirect the visitors to follow the new permalink. So that your traffic will work efficiently.</p>
<p>features include by John Godley:</p>
<p>* 404 error monitoring – captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects<br />
* Custom ‘pass-through’ redirections allowing you to pass a URL through to another page, file, or website.<br />
* Full logs for all redirected URLs<br />
* All URLs can be redirected, not just ones that don’t exist<br />
* Redirection methods – redirect based upon login status, redirect to random pages, redirect based upon the referrer!</p>
<p>Existing features include:</p>
<p>* Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post’s URL changes<br />
* Manually add 301, 302, and 307 redirections for a WordPress post, or for any other file<br />
* Full regular expression support<br />
* Apache .htaccess is not required – works entirely inside WordPress<br />
* Strip or add www to all your WordPress pages<br />
* Redirect index.php, index.html, and index.htm access<br />
* Redirection statistics telling you how many times a redirection has occurred, when it last happened, who tried to do it, and where they found your URL<br />
* Fully localized</p>
<p><strong>Robots Meta</strong></p>
<p>Robots Meta plugin allows you to do is to point specifically to the search engines which sections of your blog to crawl. This means that you’ll gain more respect from search engines, and likewise more traffic.</p>
<p>This plugin by Joost De Valk  makes it possible to:</p>
<p>Prevent indexing of your search result pages, while still allowing the search engines to follow the links on them, by adding noindex,follow robots meta tags.</p>
<p>* Disallow indexing of subpages to your homepage, category pages, author pages and tag pages, to prevent duplicate content.<br />
* Prevent indexing of your login, register and admin pages by adding noindex robots meta tags.<br />
* Add noodp an noydir meta robots tags, allowing you to opt out of DMOZ and Yahoo! Directory descriptions.<br />
* Prevent Yahoo! and Google from indexing your feeds by adding a meta tag to their head-section.<br />
* Prevent indexing of just your comment feeds.<br />
* Disable author and date-based archives.<br />
* Prevent attachment pages from ranking in the search results over your articles.<br />
* Enforce a trailing slash on archives.<br />
* Edit your .htaccess and your robots.txt from within WordPress.<br />
* Assign robots meta tags to individual posts &amp; pages.<br />
* Verify your site with Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo! Site Explorer and Bing Webmaster Tools.<br />
* Add noarchive tags to your blog.</p>
<p><strong>SEO Smart Links</strong></p>
<p>Internal linking structure is the prime subject of SEO. If you have more links it just convey how well your website structure is. The problem with this is that if you had to manually go and create links to relevant and important posts you’ll spend hours and hours doing it.</p>
<p>Here are some advantages by Vladimir Prelovac:</p>
<p>* SEO Smart links allows you to specify a word, like ‘SEO’ and then link it to a post on your site. Then each time the word SEO appears on your site, it’s automatically turned into a link you specified.</p>
<p>* SEO Smart Links provides automatic SEO benefits for your site in addition to custom keyword lists, nofollow and much more.</p>
<p>* SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags onyour blog.</p>
<p>* Further SEO Smart links allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs. Finally SEO Smart links allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new window.</p>
<p>* It is a perfect solution to get your blog posts interlinked or add affiliate links to other sites.</p>
<p>* Everything happens completely transparent, and you can edit the options from the administration settings panel.</p>

The same method can easily be applied for Fireworks and the other <strong>adobe</strong> package. I&#8217;ve broken it up into easy simple steps to follow!  Both posts are very similar and should help guide you into the right direction.</p>
<p><span id="more-586"></span><br />
Now  we  will  try  to  run it   under  <strong>Linux (ubuntu or  debian)</strong></p>
<p>you   should   have  installed <strong> CS4 </strong>under  windows  because  we  need  this  directory  to  complete  the  installtion</p>
<p>now  we  need  to download  some  packages to  help  us . :</p>
<p>1- Install wine</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$sudo apt-get install wine winecfg</div></div>
</blockquote>
<p>now  we  begin to  copy  folder from windows  to  ubuntu .</p>
<p>2-navigate to C:\Program Files. Copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files folder.</p>
<p>3- copy  C:\Documents and Settings\your-windows-user-name\Application Data  to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/</p>
<p>4-copy C:\Program Files\Common Files  to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files</p>
<p>5- copy  C:\WINDOWS\system32  to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32</p>
<p>6-copy   Winsxs  from   C:\windows    to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/  (this folder is  verry  important)</p>
<p>7-  import   the  registery to  wine</p>
<p>from windows  for  to   start and  Run (regedit)</p>
<p>go  to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-&gt; SOFTWARE-&gt;Adobe-&gt;Dreamweaver  ; Right click on the ‘Dreamweaver‘ folder and select ‘Export’. Save the file as dreamweaver.reg and  copy  this  file  to  ubuntu  home  directory  and  you  need  to  coinvet the  registery  file   to   ASII  file   (recode)</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$sudo   apt-get  install  recode</div></div>
</blockquote>
<p>recode is  :   (Conversion between character sets and surfaces)</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$recode ucs-2..ascii dreamweaver.reg</div></div>
<p>$wine regedit dreamweaver.reg</p></blockquote>
<p>Now you have successfully copied  all  needed files  to  run   your  installation succefully.</p>
<p>lets  give  a  test :</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$cd /home/username</div></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>$cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Dreamweaver\ CS4/</p>
<p>$wine Dreamweaver.exe</p></blockquote>
<p>Should  be  lunching   the  programe  now.</p>

Perhaps in theory a simple text editor is enough to create necessary code. But in real life comfort comes first and you will need the following three tools to create a website as smoothly as possible. 1. A Ftp Client &#8211; FireFTP Uploading files to your shared hosting account is a common bottleneck in the web development process. It is thus important to minimize programs used and make sure they include all the functions possible. FireFTP is a FireFox add-on that allows you to manage your files through an FTP client in one tab and preview the changes on your site in the other tab. This is integrated web development and will save you much time and sanity. 2. A Text Editor &#8211; EditPlus According to us there are two types of text editors – the overly complicated and the too simple. EditPlus fits in somewhere in between as it has the simple design like Notepad but still comes with cool features like color coding, tabbing and pre-selecting of script language.

Perhaps in theory a simple text editor is enough to create necessary code. But in real life comfort comes first and you will need the following three tools to create a website as smoothly as possible.</p>
<p><strong>1. A Ftp Client &#8211; FireFTP </strong><br />
Uploading files to your <strong><a href="http://www.webhostingsearch.com/shared-web-hosting.php">shared hosting</a></strong> account is a common bottleneck in the web development process. It is thus important to minimize programs used and make sure they include all the functions possible. FireFTP is a FireFox add-on that allows you to manage your files through an FTP client in one tab and preview the changes on your site in the other tab. This is integrated web development and will save you much time and sanity. <span id="more-433"></span></p>
<p><strong>2. A Text Editor &#8211; EditPlus</strong><br />
According to us there are two types of text editors – the overly complicated and the too simple. EditPlus fits in somewhere in between as it has the simple design like Notepad but still comes with cool features like color coding, tabbing and pre-selecting of script language. For example &#8211; if you do not finish a piece of code correctly it will show much clearer as the color changes.<br />
<strong><br />
3. An Image Editor – Photoshop</strong><br />
While the two tools above are free to download, Photoshop isn’t. But we are going to assume that you actually can afford to buy PS and go ahead and recommend it as the third and final tool. With the text editor you get to define the web design by building stylesheet. An image editor however, is necessary to create the site’s graphic elements, such as buttons, headers, logo etc.</p>
<p>Using Photoshop you can even create the complete web design for your site, slice it up with the slice-tool and save it as both images and html.</p>
<p>These were three tools required to build a website &#8211; a FTP client, a text editor and an image editor. Now you have everything you need to program in javascript, PHP, Html or any letter based script language. You can build the web design, upload the image files to your and then apply them to appropriate div tag in the stylesheet.</p>
<p>This is your toolbox.</p>

&lt;/form&gt; </em></span></p>
<p></span></form>
<p>If you wish to use the code above you need to alter it a bit to suit the component needs. The basics you will need is a simple function and a form:</p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em><span>function form () {<br />
global $database, $mainframe;</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>//$session =&amp; JFactory::getSession(&#8216;captcha_word&#8217;);<br />
$session =&amp; JFactory::getSession();<br />
$code = $session-&gt;get(&#8216;captcha_word&#8217;);<br />
if(($code == $_POST['captcha_word']) &amp;&amp; (!empty($code)) ) {</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>echo &#8220;Great Success, very nice&#8221;;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>} else {<br />
echo &#8220;wrong code&#8221;;<br />
}</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>}</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><em>?&gt; </em></span></p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t forget to add your form. The jfactory frame works had to be added to the function in order to make it work. For Joomla 1.5 sessions work differently to Joomla 1.0.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Being experimenting with the API of Twitter. I started out playing with curl to send updates from a joomla directory, once a user added a listing.

You can use the -v dump method to post any errors on the screen if connection fails. example curl -u -v ( and then the command ) curl -u username:password -d status=&#34;twittering from curl&#34; http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml I then used the PHP curl features to do the same thing from PHP: &#60;span class=&#34;pun&#34;&#62;&#38;lt;?&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62;php &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;com&#34;&#62;// Set username and password&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62; $username &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pun&#34;&#62;=&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;str&#34;&#62;'username'&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pun&#34;&#62;;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62; $password &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pun&#34;&#62;=&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;str&#34;&#62;'password'&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pun&#34;&#62;;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;pln&#34;&#62; &#60;/span&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;com&#34;&#62;// The message you want to... ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being experimenting with the API of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/">Twitter</a>. I started out playing with <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/">curl</a> to send updates from a <a href="http://www.joomla.org/">joomla</a> directory, once a user added a listing.

<p>This is just a basic layout, the twitter API allows you to do so much more. Now comes the fun part. If you are using <strong>joomla</strong> and <strong>sobi2</strong> as a directory component, here is a way to place the above code to your <strong>sobi2 </strong>directory and receive live updates once a user adds a listing.</p>
<p>Open the sobi2.class file , then scroll down to line 533 and insert the above code just above the sql query. You can then use the variables within the sobi2 framework to display to twitter. Here is another sample of this:</p>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;function ShortenText($text) {<br />
$chars = 140;<br />
$text = $text.&quot; &quot;;<br />
$text = substr($text,0,$chars);<br />
$text = substr($text,0,strrpos($text,' '));<br />
$text = $text.&quot;...&quot;;<br />
return $text;<br />
}&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</div></div>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;"><em></p>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$username = 'username';<br />
$password = 'password';</div></div>
<div class="codecolorer-container text default" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;width:435px;"><div class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">$twitpost = $this-&amp;gt;title.&quot; has joined your directory!&quot;;</div></div>

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);<br />
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);<br />
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, &quot;status=$twitmessage&quot;);<br />
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, &quot;$username:$password&quot;);<br />
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);<br />
curl_close($curl_handle);<br />
// check for success or failure<br />
if (empty($buffer)) {<br />
$twitresponse = 'Deal not posted to Twitter';<br />
} else {<br />
$twitresponse = 'Deal posted to Twitter';<br />
}&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</div></div>
<p>Just adapt it as you need to. you can go as far as adding the url to the post. ( incorporate <a href="http://www.tiny.cc/">tiny url</a> to keep the url short ). Will post a seperate tutorial on this shortly.</p>
