To feel the spirit of Christmas, I added the Let It Snow plugin on my blogs. Just watching the falling snow on my monitor, entertains me and it puts a smile on my face. I hope it does the same thing to my visitors. Even we don’t get snow here in the Philippines, virtually we could do anything and it is free to dream.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Though I rarely produce pictures or posts worth stealing, I just don’t like it when someone uses it without my permission or not even giving credit to the rightful owners. My friends are often victim of these and I a few. Watermarking images doesn’t seem enough, so good thing I found a plugin that would protect me from those people.

Please if you wanted to use pictures or writings done by someone, ask their permission.

For those who wanted to protect their works, here’s a plugin for wordpress: WP-CopyProtect

All my blogs are protected now.

I recently found out the advantages of Disqus, so I made this a-must plugin on every blog I have.

What are the advantages?

• You could administrate all comments on your blogs in just one page, and you could reply there as well.
• You could promote your site by making it your URL and you could change your name to the keyword you wanted.
• No room for spammers.

I was amazed by the power of the Google Wave, so I wanted to try a few of its features.

The best thing to try is how to embed it on a blog or website. My adventure on this task started of me searching for possible ways to put a Wave on my blog. In the process, I was able to find a plugin for Wordpress. I installed and tested it, but it didn’t give a satisfactory result. So I continued searching and found a discussion that helped me embed a wave.

Here’s my test wave:

I am happy with the help that I got from the discussion. I really learned a lot.

I have heard about this statistic plug-in for Wordpress. Since Google Analytics would require you to log in to their page to see the stats, it would be time consuming. So a less hassle would be having a statistic on your Wordpress blog dashboard and WP-StatPress is the plug-in that does that.

Akismet is a pre-installed (already in Wordpress upon installation) wordpress plugin. Recently, they have an updated version of it. It is a plugin that filters spam messages from the comments on your blog.

Steps in using this plugin:

• Log-in to your wordpress account.
• Go to Plugins
• Look for Akismet (usually it is the top one). Click Activate
• Once the plugin has been activated, you will be instructed to put your Wordpress API (click). If you have no account on wordpress.com, you have to create one.
• Log-in to your wordpress.com account >> click My Account >> My Profile. You will then see your Wordpress API, just copy it and paste it on Akismet Configuration.
• Click “Update Option.”
• DONE

I just activated and updated mine

I added Wordpress on the title, because honestly I do not know how to put or create a sitemap on my own. A sitemap is a tool which helps search engine crawl your site easily. This is best for SEO.
