Wordpress 2.6 is Now Available!

July 15, 2008

Wordpress 2.6 ‘Tyner’ has been officially released today. I’ve just upgraded my blog to newest version. It works really great. I recommended you upgrade to Wordpress 2.6 for a better performance.

Here are some of the smaller features and improvements in 2.6:

  • Word count! Never guess how many words are in your post anymore.
  • Image captions, so you can add sweet captions like Political Ticker does under your images.
  • Bulk management of plugins.
  • A completely revamped image control to allow for easier inserting, floating, and resizing. It’s now fully integrated with the WYSIWYG.
  • Drag-and-drop reordering of Galleries.
  • Plugin update notification bubble.
  • Customizable default avatars.
  • You can now upload media when in full-screen mode.
  • Remote publishing via XML-RPC and APP is now secure (off) by default, but you can turn it on easily through the options screen.
  • Full SSL support in the core, and the ability to force SSL for security.
  • You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.
  • Ability to move your wp-config file and wp-content directories to a custom location, for “clean” SVN checkouts.
  • Select a range of checkboxes with “shift-click.”
  • You can toggle between the Flash uploader and the classic one.
  • A number of proactive security enhancements, including cookies and database interactions.
  • Stronger better faster versions of TinyMCE, jQuery, and jQuery UI.

Using PHP to Redirect Affiliate Links

July 3, 2008

You may have seen many bloggers use redirect pages to send out their affiliate links when people click on their affiliate links. Cloaking your affiliate links to prevent from having your affiliate links hijacked. Your affiliate links can be hijacked. There are malware, virus, etc. out there that many people have on their computers without even knowing that will detect when an affiliate link is clicked and replace your affiliate ID with the hijackers.

First set up a directory on your server for your redirect pages to go. To make it easy I recommend creating a directory simply named “go” (i.e.: www.yoursite.com/go/).

This is how to create redirect page for your affiliate links by using a PHP script.

<html>

<head>

<title>TITLE</title>

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Language” content=”en-us”>

<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”>

<script>window.location=” your affiliate url“;</script>

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”1; url=”your affiliate url“>

</head>

<body>

<p align=”center”>You will be taken to the correct page shortly.

<br>If this page does not load after 5 seconds, please

<a href=”your affiliate url“>click here</a>.</p>

</body>

</html>

Just copy and paste on NotePad and change 3 “your affiliate link” to your affiliate link URL. After that save the file with an easy to remember name that ends with .php. Upload this new file to the “go” folder on your server.Your link will look something like this http://www.gettycash.com/go/tla.php

Whenever someone clicks on your disguised link (http://www.yoursite.com/go/website.php), they are going to be redirected to your real referral link. :D
