The following plugins can help you enable dofollow attribute. Some of them allow you to manually turn it on or off. If this is what you want to do, then check them out through this link: DoFollow Plugins

For me, I prefer to make my self-hosted WordPress blog dofollow without a plugin because too many plugins will slow down my blog. Speed matters nowadays. If you like to change nofollow attribute to be dofollow attribute without a plugin, then these steps will help:

• Sign in your hosting cPanel or use FTP as I do
• Access this file through File Manager in cPanel
• It should lead you to public_html/
• Then locate this file as  /wp-includes/comment-template.php
• Before you make any changes to comment-template.php, save a backup of it first
• Next hold Ctrl and hit F at the same time to bring up a search bar.
• Copy and paste the following code in the search box to find it:
  

  $return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>$author</a>";

  Change the above code to be the follow code:

  $return = "<a href='$url' rel='external' class='url'>$author</a>";

  You can see the differences in red.

• Last make sure you save your file

That is it. If you want to know whether it works or not, Checking Whether A Blog is Dofollow or Nofollow can help. Or you can use a tool called SEO Toolbar to find out instantly.

Fantastico is one of many features provided by your hosting control panel. It allows you to set up a WordPress website in just a few clicks. So your website is ready and functional within minutes. Even if there is no Fantastico, setting up a WordPress website is not hard. And it can be done manually. It is a simple process if you can just read and follow instructions. On the other hand, if you don’t feel to have that kind of headache, you can always get someone to install it for you. This should not be expensive and time consuming if that person is familiar with manual installation.

Refurbishing a website designed by someone else can be painstaking and costly for the owner because you have to pay the designer, wait for his action and finally get the job done. Using a software platform like WordPress makes your life easier since it is very convenient to use and simple to learn. You can update your own website in no time and changes can be made instantly – you don’t have to wait anxiously for a designer to have the job done for you!

Another benefit of using WordPress is that outsourcing website updates and changes can be done very conveniently. Just set up a virtual assistant and allocate a username and password that she can use to log in and work on your site. You can cease to feel stressed whether your latest version of the site is up on the net or whether you are overwriting work completed by someone else.

The Categories and Archives section of WordPress are built-in features which are very powerful for a blog or website. Websites regularly upgraded are favorites of search engines. Because WordPress is built with the nature of blog platform, your website will likely be updated frequently. This is good news for your search engine rankings. You website is picked up as soon as the blog search engines start to hook you.

Moreover you can now access RSS Feeds if you create a website using WordPress. Visitors to your website can subscribe to your contents through RSS feed and get all the latest updates. Besides they can also subscribe to your RSS feed of all your comments. This is a good way to attract targeted visitors to your website since they are interested in reading more of your information. This should give you some ideas of how easy it is to create a successful website using WordPress where traffic is high and so is your peace of mind.

What you just learned about using WordPress is just the beginning. To get the full story and all the details, check this out at Using WordPress Properly

“Not Found
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

——————————————————————————–

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.mycoolonlinestores.com Port 80“.

I searched the Internet for a solution. Here is the way of how I’ve got it to work. I am sure someone may be interested in this. So why not writing down these steps of how I’ve solved this problem? By the way, the name of the folder I’ve tried to change is associated with a self-hosted WordPress site. And the cPanel is associated with Hostmonster‘s cPanel.

• First download all the files within that folder to your local computer. I use FTP to get the job done.

• Next create a new folder in your server with whatever name you’ve preferred and upload those files that you’ve downloaded earlier to this new folder.

• Next log in to your cPanel and click on phpMyadmin. A new window would pop up. It will allow you to export (backup) your database. See details here. Don’t close this window, you’ll need it later.

• Now go back to your cPanel. Click on MySQL ® Databases or MySQL ® Database Wizard to create a new database. See this tutorial here. Remember its user name and password.

• Then open your database you’ve backuped earlier with Notepad editor. Hit Ctrl and F at the same time to bring up a search box. Type in Database and replace old database name with the new one. Also type in public_html and replace old folder name with the new one. Make sure you save it in your new database name.

• Now go back to phpMyadmin window. The one I told you earlier not to close it. Click on Import to upload your amended database.

• Then open wp-config.php (should be in the root directory of your new folder). Edit and upload it back to the same place. See details below:
  

  define('DB_NAME', 'databasename'); // Change databasename to be your new database name define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mysqlpassword'); // Change mysqlpassword to be your new MYSQL password define('DB_USER', 'mysqlusername'); // Change mysqlusername to be your new MySQL username define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // Leave the way it is.

• Since the domain is assigned to the old folder, there is no way that you can assign it to the new folder. However, you need to click on Domain Manager in your cPanel. Once you are there,  tick that domain. On your right side, scroll down to un-assign that domain to your cPanel. Quickly, during this time your website will be down.

• Finally go back to cPanel and click on Addon Domains. A new page will open, assign that domain to your new folder and hit Add Domain button. See details below:
  

  Step 1 Tick next to “Use a domain that is already associated with your account”. Scroll down to find it. Step 2 Leave it alone. Step 3 Tick next to “Addon Domain”. Step 4 Tick next to “Use an existing directory”. And below “Sub-domain:” type in your new folder’s name.

Now type your website’s url in your browser. If everything works fine, you should be able to see your website up and running again. Some people might have different approach. Feel free to talk about yours here in comment section. Any other feedback is welcome too.

I recently found a very useful RSS plugin that will allow you to monetize your blog with it. It will permit you to place  RSS feeds below each of your articles. With it you can now promote eBay’s products, ClickBank products, and any other affiliate products that allow you to generate RSS feeds with. I am so excited that I want to share this great tool with you.

This simple RSS plugin is called FirstRSS. Download it from its owner’s website. Did I mention that it is Free? After that unzip that file and upload it to your blog’s directory like this: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/. (assuming that you are using self-hosted WordPress blog too).

One drawback that I found out so far is you can only be allowed to show its default feeds which is 10. I don’t know about you but I think 10 feeds for an article is too many. I want to show less than 5 feeds or at most 5 feeds. Here is the solution for that:

• Log in to your WordPress admin erea.

• Click on Plugins/FirstRSS/Edit.

• Before you attempt to make any changes, make sure you save a copy of it.

• Find the following codes in firstRSS.php:
  

  foreach($rss->items as $item) { $title = $item[title]; $link = htmlentities($item[link]); $desc = $item[description]; if ($title != '') $disp .= "\t<b><a href='$link'>$title</a></b>\n<br />"; if ($desc  != '') $disp .= "\t$desc\n<br />"; }

• And replace them with the codes below:
  

  $i=0; foreach($rss->items as $item) { if($i < 5) { $title = $item[title]; $link = htmlentities($item[link]); $desc = $item[description]; if ($title != '') $disp .= "\t<b><a href='$link'>$title</a></b>\n<br />"; if ($desc != '') $disp .= "\t$desc\n<br />"; } $i++; }

This will allow you to control how many RSS feeds you’ve preferred. I like to display [rsspara:URL] instead of [rsslist:URL] below my post because [rsspara:URL] will allow me to show not only links but images and descriptions of the products as well. Make sure you get a RSS url from any affiliate site you’ve participated and replace the URL with the feed’s url that you’ve got. If you’ve done it right, you will see an example just like the one below.

Another drawback is that it shows what category and keywords with a logo in its feeds. I don’t like that. I am still searching an answer for it. I’ll keep you posted once I find the solution.

Update: The solution for the above question is shown below. You need to find the following three $disp code lines and comment them out. Make sure you save the file:

Now go ahead to test it out. Does it work? Mine is working. See the example below.

• Log in to your WordPress 2.7 admin area.

• Expand Appearance (at the left side bar)if it is collapsed.

• Click on Editor/Stylesheet(style.css), find body { background: #fff; and chang #fff to be any other color you like.

• Now the problem is that your entire blog page color will be changed to whatever body color you’ve chosen. You need to find the following codes and add background: #fffff to the end of each code (change fffff to be any other color you prefer). See the changes below:

#container { width: 970px; margin: 15px auto 0 auto; background: #fffff } #content_box { width: 970px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff } #content { width: 500px; padding: 0 20px 0 0; float: left; background: #fffff } #sidebar { width: 210px; padding: 0 0 0 15px; float: left; background: #fffff } #footer { width: 970px; padding: 1.2em 0 0 0; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff }

• Now if you check your blog, you will find out that your navigational bar background color is still the same as your theme’s body color. Search the following codes and do the same procedure as above step:

ul#nav { list-style: none; width: 970px; padding: 0 10px; background: url('images/hr_dot_black.gif') repeat-x; border-bottom: 3px solid #000; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff } ul#nav li { padding: 0.85em 40px 0.7em 0; font: bold 1.4em Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a:hover { color: #000; text-decoration: underline; background: #fffff } ul#nav li a.current, ul#nav li a.current:visited, ul#nav li a.current:hover { color: #090; text-decoration: underline; background: #fffff } ul#nav li.rss { padding: 0.85em 0 0.7em 0; float: right; background: #fffff } ul#nav li.rss a { padding: 0 18px 0 0; background: url('images/icon_rss.gif') 100% 50% no-repeat; background: #fffff }

• The last thing you need to do is to give your template some left and right margins. How can you do that? Find the code and see the changes I’ve made for you:

#content { width: 468px; padding: 0 15px 0 15px; float: left; background: #fffff }

I also find out that I needed to change the number in my footer section. See the change below:

#footer { width: 955px; padding: 1.2em 0 0 0; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; float: left; clear: both; background: #fffff }

Now go to check your blog again. Did it come out the way you like? Hope you enjoy it.

Update: On January 12, 2009, Cutline versions 2.2 and 1.4 3-Column were released and they are compatible with WordPress 2.7 since.

• First I used FTP to back up my old WordPress blog files to my laptop.

• Second I upgraded my old WordPress 2.6.1 to be the newest version WordPress 2.6.5.

• Third I logged in to my host’s cPanel/phpMyAdmin to export my old WordPress blog’s database to my laptop. See WordPress Backup with phpMyAdmin here.

• Next I created a new folder named wp for the new domain. I then created a robots.txt in wp folder with the following contents:
  

  User-agent: * Disallow: /

  This is to prevent any search engines to crawl my site before it is ready.

• Next I created a new database in my host cPanel for this new domain. See WordPress Tutorial: Setting Up A MySQL Database With cPanel here.

• Next I typed the url of my website in my browse to run the install and input the information I’v got from the last step to finish the installation.

• Then I edited wp-config.php file which should be in your root directory and changed the high-lighted parts with the information I’ve got earlier.

define('DB_NAME', 'databasename'); // Change the high-lighted part to be your database name define('DB_USER', 'mysqlusername'); // Change the high-lighted part to be your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mysqlpassword'); // Change the high-lighted part to be your password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value.

• Next I used FTP to upload all my old WordPress blog’s files to public_html/wp folder.

• Then I imported my old database to replace the new one I’ve created eariler. (if your database name, mysql username, and mysql password are the same as the old one, then you don’t need to do anything otherwise you have to change them before you can import it.)

• Then I logged in to my WordPress admin area and used Search and Replace plugin to search all my old WordPress urls in database to be replaced with my new urls.

• Then I double checked my website to see whether everything was working properly. After that I deleted the robots.txt file.

• Finally I added the following line in my old blog’s .htaccess file right after RewriteEngine On, see below
  

  RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomainname.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You must change yourdomainname to be your actual domain name. Adding this line in my old blog’s .htaccess will ensure that all my old blog’s traffic will be redirected to my new blog with every single post I’ve created.

However transferring your WordPress blog/website to a new host is not an easy job; especially if you are new to this realm. If one day for any reason you decide to transfer your current WordPress blog/website to a new host, these are the steps I make them as smooth as they could be for you:

• First find a host that meets all your needs.

• Second use FTP to backup your WordPress files to your computer or laptop.

• Third backup (export) your WordPRess database to your computer or laptop using phpMyAdmin in your current host’s cPanel. Check WordPress Backup with phpMyAdmin out for more details.

• Next use FTP to upload your WordPress files that you’ve backed up earlier to your new host’s root directory or any directory you prefer.

• Next create a new database using either MySQL ® Databases or MySQL ® Database Wizard in your new host’s cPanel. See WordPress Tutorial: Setting Up A MySQL Database With cPanel for more details.

• Next change the information about your database or the absolute path before uploading (importing) it to your new host. Make sure you choose binary from Character set of the file otherwise some punctuation like apostrophe will not show properly. See the screenshot below:

• Then download your wp_config.php file, which should be in your root directory, to your computer or laptop;  edit the following lines and then upload it back to the same directory:
  

  define('DB_NAME', 'databasename'); // Change database name to be your actual database name define('DB_USER', 'mysqlusername'); // Change mysql username to be your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mysqlpassword'); // Change mysql password to be your actual password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value.

• Finally point your domain to your new host’s name servers. In my case, they look like these: ns1.hostmonster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com. If you are not sure then you can ask your current host to have that done for you. Please be aware that DNS (Domain Name System) takes 24 to 48 hours to be completed due to DNS’ propagation.

Once you find out that everything is working properly, inform your current host to cancel your account. That is it. Any questions please ask in the comment section.

• Automatically optimize your blog/website’s title for search engines.

• Generate your meta description automatically.

• Edit you own keywords.

• Avoid duplicate contents found on your WordPress blog.

• And more…

It is currently compatible with WordPress 2.5.1. The sad thing is it will no longer to be updated or supported by its original author in the near future; but the good thing is it found its new home – read All In One SEO Pack Finds New Developer to find out more.

I just installed it and loved it. If you are interested, download All In One SEO Pack here.

• Unzip the all-in-one-seo-pack.zip file you’ve download.

• Use FTP to upload the file to this folder /public_html/wp-content/plugins/.

• Login to your WordPress Dashboard; click on Plugins to activate it.

• Now configurate it by clicking on Options/All in One SEO (for WordPress 2.3.x) or Settings/All in One SEO (for WordPress 2.5.x); see how it is done from here.

Some themes may not show the meta tag. That is because those themes may miss the appropriate call to wp_call() usually found in head.php. You can fix this by logging in to your WordPress Dashboard, clicking on Design/Theme Editor/head.php file. Insert <?php wp_head(); ?> right above </head> and save your head.php file.

One more thing, once you use this All in One SEO Pack, there is no need to use other plugins such as Head Meta Description and SEO Title Tag. Otherwise you’ll produce duplicate title and description for your blog/website.

That is it. Once you set it up, It will automatically optimize your WordPress blog/website for search engines.

Post via e-mail

To post to WordPress by e-mail you must set up a secret e-mail account with POP3 access. Any mail received at this address will be posted, so it’s a good idea to keep this address very secret. Here are three random strings you could use: dU)Xlo7PFeA%, W3QDkr1M*eL2, (d$b^h1QxZsq.

The question is: how can you set it up to use it? Post to Your Blog Using Email provides details of how to make it work. I was able to follow the instructions below to make mine work:

• Login to your WordPress’ Dashboard.

• Click on Setting/Writing.

• Create a new email account on your web host’s mail server.

• In Mail Server, type in your new email account you’ve just created. Something like mail.example.com; make sure you change example to be your real domain name; leave the port as 110.

• In Login Name, type in something like login@example.com; here change login to be your new email’s login name and change example to be your real domain name.

• In Password, type in your new password you’ve just created.

• Choose the default category.

• Make sure you click Save Changes to save it.

In order to publish those email messages on your blog, you still need to set up WordPress to do the job. Either you activate your browser manually or activate your browser automatically. I prefer to use automatic browser activation because it will save your headache that you don’t need to send an email to your new email account every time you send a new post.

This is how I’ve done it and I find this is the easiest way: add the following code in your footer.php file right above <?php wp_footer(); ?> line. You can open footer.php file by clicking on Design/Theme Editor/ from your WordPress Dashboard.

where you must change yourblogdomain to be your own blog domain name. If your blog is resided in your website’s sub-directory, then make sure you follow your blog’s absolute path. Alternatively you may use Postie Plugin, and WP-Cron plugin to publish those email messages on your blog. Learn how from Post to Your Blog Using Email.

Now it comes to the verification, you need to send an email to the new account you’ve just created. To see the result, you have to refresh your browser to see the new post. For some reason, my testing post showed up on my post list but with the status stated as pending review.

Update: I’ve just found out that in your WordPress acoount, you need to have the same email address as the one you’ve used to send an email to your web server. So if you send an email using login@example.com, then login to your WordPress’ Dashboard, click on Users/Your Profile/; in E-mai, type in login@example.com as well. This way you’ll be able to publish your email message(s) directly on your blog. I’ve just tested mine out and it works. If you have any doubts, feel free to leave your comments here.

If you first downloaded Cutline theme, its Sitemap page is not functional. You have to do something in order to make it work. Do you want to know how you can make yours work? Actually it is not hard. Mine is already working in this blog. See Sitemap on top of the navigation menu in this blog. The Cutline‘s author, Chris Pearson, has provided detail instructions of how to make it work:

1. Upload sitemap.php to your active WordPress theme directory.
2. In your WordPress administration panel, go to Write and then to Write Page.
3. Fill in a title (it can be anything you want), do not enter anything into the text area of the post, and create a Post Slug called “sitemap.”
4. Most important, from the Page Template dropdown box, select the Sitemap template.
5. When you’re done, click on Create New Page.

The above instructions are for Cutline 1.03 or older only; and you need to download a sitemap.php from here and upload it to public_html/wp_content/theme/your_cutline_theme/. Make sure you change your_cutline_theme to be your actual theme name.

If you are using Cutline 1.1 or higher, then there is no need to download a sitemap.php because you current theme has already included a correct sitemap.php file. Just follow the steps below instead:

1. In your WordPress administration panel, go to Write and then to Write Page.
2. Fill in a title (it can be anything you want), do not enter anything into the text area of the post, and create a Post Slug called “sitemap.”
3. Most important, from the Page Template dropdown box, select the Sitemap template.
4. When you’re done, click on Create New Page.

Creating an Archive Page

If you are using Cutline theme, its Archives page doesn’t work either. In order to make it work, I suggest you read Chris Pearson’s Creating Archives and About Pages. Here are the steps I quoted from his site:

1. Log into your WP Administration panel and click on the Presentation link.
2. Assuming you have the Cutline theme activated, you’ll notice a link in the sub-navigation menu called Cutline Options.
3. On the Cutline Options page, simply check the box next to “Enable the Cutline Archives Page.”
4. Click the Update Options button to create the Archives page.
5. In order to ensure that your new Archives page gets published properly, you’ll need to click on the Manage link in the main navigation menu.
6. Once there, click on Pages in the sub-navigation menu.
7. One of your pages will contain the text “Archives” in the Title field – find that page, and then click on the Edit button for that page.
8. Locate the Save » button (which resides just beneath the main text entry box), and click it. You’re done!

For step 1, Presentation now is called Design. For step 8, the Save button now is resided on the upper right side of the main text entry box. The instructions are pretty straightforward, but if you encounter any problems, just let me know.
