Chronicle of Journey of A Doctor Into World of Internet Marketing
I have always liked themes fromm Unique Blog Design. They are cool, good looking and impressive. You might have come across blogs designed by them which include John Chow and Yaro Starak.
Therefore it was a nice surprise to see that they are offering some of there premium themes for free. [Read more...]

Recently a new controversy have arisen. Its about WordPress themes.
WordPress maintains that themes of WordPress should be licensed under GPL or general public license, a license that makes themes modifiable by general public.
But few of the premium developers want a copyright on their themes.
Know more about this license here
The rationale given behind this stand is that the themes are derivative of WordPress code.
Interesting!
Let us se how things turn out!

WordPress keeps amazing me. Recently a new feature has been added to WordPress.com hosted blogs. This is like calling your blog to make a post.
The feature is in beta phase only but quite intriguing.
A blogger on WordPress.com could get it set up and he would receive a special number and code. [Read more...]

Have you ever thought of expanding your readership by offering your blog in more than one language. English is no doubt lingua franca but there are people who do not know English but could be interested in what you write.
Yes! The world is a tiny village now thanks to internet. We are just a click away from anybody, anywhere.
With WordPress, the task of translation becomes easy with use of plugins. There are many WordPress plugins that will help you get your message across. [Read more...]

WordPress introduced the Toggle feature with recent release ie. 2.9 version.
Word toggle is used to denote a on off switching action.
The term is used to indicate turning a feature on, or off, typically by pressing one key to turn the feature on, and then pressing the same key again, to turn the feature off.
The “Toggle” button in WordPress allows you to go full screen mode with a click and clicking the same button again brings you back to normal mode.
I decided to take screen shot to make this interesting and easy to understand.
First screen shot is what we normally see without using full screen toggle. Click on the image to view in full size.
The images are from admin interface while I am writing this post only. [Read more...]

WordPress version 2.9 is here. What a pleasant surprise in Holiday season. It has been named “Carmen” in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae.
Here are some hotties from WordPress 2.9
Global Undo/”Trash” feature
It means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also ends those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
Built-In Image Editor
Something I always wanted in WordPress. The cool new feature allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images.
Batch Plugin Update & Compatibility Checking
Another time saver. You can update 10 plugins at once rather than having to do multiple clicks for each one.
WordPresss 2.9 uses new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of compatibility. Would save a lot of headaches.
Video Embeds Made Better
Just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv .
More are expected in next release.
There are a lot of other goods you can check them here
But I am going to wait before I upgrade. There have been experiences in the past where my upgrade has disrupted my couple of days.
I would rather wait to ensure everything is smooth.

You need to upgrade the plugins after you upgrade to WordPress 2.8.
Yeah I know. I too hate upgrades but they make WordPress better. Moreover they are making it simpler by one click upgrade from your admin interface and they do not cost any thing.
I recently ran into a trouble after WordPress 2.8 was installed on my previous version. i used automatic upgrade from admin panel.
After the upgrade was successful I started receiving errors on trying to access website.
Even I could not log into admin panel.
The error was related to Redirection plugin [Read more...]
