I thought writing about this article would benefit other users who don’t use windows as their operating system (OS) especially those laptops which use Linux- Unix as their OS. This article is related to what i have posted earlier. => Check out this link. XAMPP is basically another free and open source cross-platform web server package, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages. XAMPP is basically an acronym for : X (meaning cross-platform), Apache, MySQL.... Read More

Finally i got my plugins back to normal at last! For the past two weeks or so, i was trying to debug why some of my commonly-used WP plugins were executing irregular behaviors. Bearing this thing in mind, I haven’t updated to WP 2.6 version yet. This is because most WP users in various forums were ranting about upgrade problems and so do i. I’ll probably spare more time on this eventually when WP 2.6 becomes stable or if my time permits me to do this. But for my case, it seems strange. For most people who frequently visit my blog, you would notice some discrepancies and html errors especially upon loading this site to Internet Explorer 6 or 7. Yes i was playing around some of the plugins i have installed on my WP version 2.5 DashBoard. I had noted some irregular behaviors on my site recently.... Read More

For the last two weeks or so, i was busy cleaning up and adding some additional wordpress features to Techronnati blog. Testing every free available plugin is stealing much of my precious time knowing in fact that i am actually testing it in production server which should not be the case. You see, normally you get a new fresh set of Bandwidth space every month coming from the web hosting provider (***depends on your subscription plans). The more visitors you drive in to your website, the more bandwidth space is consumed and used. If you load too much activities on your production server i.e. like testing your site, loading images, you realize that you are actually eating too much bandwidth especially playing around the plugins, images, files, etc. so as experts would say, it’s advisable to do it just locally to free up the resources to be intended for your visitors.  I just realized it lately that i shouldn’t be doing this plugin testing right in my current blog’s server because i am eating server’s allocated bandwidth. But i think occasional testing is tolerable besides am using just a small fraction of the entire allocated bandwidth space so it’s ok but eventually i think i would settle down to have a local test server myself. While browsing the net i found out that you can actually have a local test server for wordpress blogs using WAMPSERVER. This tutorial would give you an insight on how to have a local test server on your windows machine, the same way i did on my Toshiba Laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

I know Wordpress 2.6 version (codenamed Tyner) has been in the playing field already waiting for new birds to adopt the new version. The good review i found in youtube showcased the useful features, noting how worthy it is to upgrade. Here we go again. Do we really need to upgrade right away?... Read More

I was playing around my website’s content i.e. font text and sizes the other day when i decided to query on google about the “top 5 web fonts for blogging” in the internet. Then I got curious when the results returned me with this Subject Line-> “Top 500 Fonts”. With gusto, i swiftly went into the link to find out. Then a web page flashed on my screen with various font shapes and sizes. Hmmm, Interesting… so I read on... Read More

I was creating an article the other day when i decided to upload a picture/photo to show an illustration to my topic. However, as i was uploading/attaching the photos, HTTP Error message occured. And as i recalled, the image went “crunching” after i hit the browse and upload button. And thereafter it remained that way.  What the heck! I know a lot of these errors have plagued people on the WordPress community already ever since 2.5 version was released. At first, I thought maybe the installation i got from Wordpress was not properly configured on my server or maybe some incompatibilities with other plugins was the issue. Soon after,  i realized i needed to get this fixed as i was tired of uploading the pictures via FTP. (the alternative way of uploading the pictures). I queried this to google and found out later on that this was a Wordpress 2.5 version problem!... Read More

About two or three weeks ago, I was seriously contemplating about buying my own domain and moving my free personal blog to a self-hosted wordpress for a lot of good reasons. For one, i’m sharing a growing internet traffic already and hence as a welcome treat to me and to my blog i need to buy my own domain and sift for the best web hosting solutions providers available in the market. Not to mention the limited features i get from free blogging service hosted by wordpress and blogger (like importing source code JavaScripts on widgets and control of CSS are both disabled in wordpress) have persuaded me to consider self hosting my blog. I also heard some unexpected blogspot outages around from some friends in blogger, but i think this would rarely happen as this would bring a lot of damage… cost and lost to google or blogger. But in the end, it’s still your choice. If you want to have a peace of mind in knowing your blog is safe from these unexpected Blogspot outages, and want to make the switch to a self-hosted WordPress on your own domain name, then you probably need this guide, please read on....
