Is your site mobile friendly?
iPhone, Blackberry, Android!
If you run a WordPress website and you want your site to be more friendly when viewed using a cell phone we found a plugin that makes it pretty easy. It’s called WordPress Mobile Pack and it’s available through the WordPress plugin library. After you install this plugin you choose one of the built in mobile themes and set the method of detection and your set. When a mobile device accesses your site it is automatically detected as such and displays your condensed mobile site formatted for the small screen. Regular visitors using a computer browser will see your normal site. There is a link that you can enable or disable put at the bottom of your site allowing users to switch between the mobile or standard theme so you always have the choice. This works real nicely for most WordPress sites but if you have a magazine styled front page or a custom design of some sort it may not display well for your home page and there is not much you can do. All in all the plugin is very nice and you should check it out HERE!
Star Trek Technology
The Star Trek TriCorder device may be just around the corner thanks to Scientists who are developing a miniature x-ray device that can scan and analyze the world around you, similar to the Star Trek Tricorder.
WordPress Upgrade Available
WordPress 3.3.2 is available now and is a security update for all previous versions. Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates: Plupload (version 1.5.4), which WordPress uses for uploading media. SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins. SWFObject, which WordPress previously used to embed Flash content, and may still be in use by plugins and themes.
WordPress Doesn’t release new versions just for fun so make sure you update your WordPress Website Now!
WordPress 3.4 beta
The developers of WordPress are hard at work getting the next version together. They have made WordPress version 3.4 beta available if you’re one of those that likes to stay on the cutting edge.
Remember this is not a regular release and should only be used if you know what you are doing and make good backups. There is always the possibility of problems and bugs with beta versions.
What is an htaccess file?
An .htaccess file is an Apache Web Server file that is looked at by the server before it serves up your website. It can be very useful for things like blocking users with specific ip’s from visiting your site. It’s a text file usually in the root directory of your website.
WordPress creates it’s own entries to the .htaccess file so if you decide to play around make sure you backup your original and don’t delete the WordPress entries.
Here’s some examples…
If you are tired of getting the same spam comments from a specific user over and over again you can ban the ip address like this by adding the following code to your .htaccess file:
Create an IP Banlist
allow from all
deny from 145.186.14.122
deny from 124.15
