  • qTranslate Update

    我很喜欢qTranslate这个插件,尽管我没在这个blog上使用。

    qTranslate更新很快,最近几次我注意到每次WordPress一有更新,qTranslate随后就有更新。

    但我就不明白了——每次WordPress更新后,老版本的qTranslate就工作不正常了。编辑时,qTranslate is disabled(当然这也不是什么大不了的缺陷,反正我更习惯于直接写代码)。非得qTranslate出一个更新,这个毛病才能解决。

    是不是秦谦老兄写的qTransalte不太符合WordPress Plugin规范?

  • Create Effective Backlinks

    要有好排名得有好的backlinks,这个道理我很早就知道了,但一直未及深入研究。最近读到一篇文章很有可操作性,我准备依样画瓢。

    1. Use wordpress.com for creating your blogs. – WordPress has grate on-site SEO and blogs on WordPress.com get indexed pretty quickly. Once you create an account there, you can create unlimited number of blogs without having to register any new accounts.

      不指是直接使用wordpress.com的blog好,还是自己安装一个wordpress blog好?

    2. Write more then one post per blog. – Google loves backlinks that look natural and active blog that has your link in blogrol seems pretty natural. You can also include some backlinks inside blog posts linking to relevant parts of the website you are building backlinks for.

      到底写几篇post才算好呢?要知道写post很累的啊!

    3. Use Scribefire – Scribefire is grate firefox plugin that will allow you to write into your wordpress blogs from your browser. It helps a lot to have all your blogs listed in it and be able to drag-and-drop pictures from the web directly into your blog posts.

      Scribefire倒不必了,我觉得在线编辑已经很方便了。

    4. Your blog posts don’t have to be masterpieces – Remember you are not writing content for readers, you are writing it for spiders so it only has to seem relevant to the topic.

      这我知道,但我总会尽力写好post的。随便写点东西,或者排版很糟糕,搜索引擎可以糊弄过去,观众糊弄不过去啊。

    5. Promote your blogs – You won’t have much use of these backlinks if you don’t build backlinks for the blog. Luckily, building these backlinks is not so hard as you can use all the benefits provided by RSS feed. Submit your blogs RSS feed to as many services as you can that will create some backlinks out of it. It is also easier to do this when you have more blogs to submit at once.

      我觉得submit rss feed是最值得操作的。

  • PhpList Can Work With SSL POP

    想要phpList process bounce messages,邮箱却只支持SSL POP (port 995, 如gmail)?没问题。

    config.php 作以下设置:

    $bounce_protocol = 'pop';
    $message_envelope = 'username@gmail.com';
    $bounce_mailbox_host = 'pop.gmail.com';
    $bounce_mailbox_user = 'username@gmail.com';
    $bounce_mailbox_password = 'password';
    $bounce_mailbox_port = "995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert";

    我本还担心phpList 不能从gmail上pop出bounce messages,正想着去专门建一个未经SSL处理的POP邮箱,没想到phpList轻易就达到了我的要求。

    另外我还发现,按照phpList自己的说法,php必须运行在safe_mode off的环境下才能让phpList 处理bounce messages,但我亲身实验结果显示safe_mode can be on.
