WordPress Plug-in For Youtube – Smart Youtube
Posted by: | CommentsThe benefit of wordpress is not having to deal with html and php code. But if you wanted to embed a youtube code in WordPress you would have to switch to the html mode and insert code you copy from Youtube.
With the Smart Youtube Plug-in you don’t have to do that anymore. Just copy the address of the video, ad a “V” into the address (httpv://) and you are done! I’ve made a video for you that shows you how to use it!
WordPress Plugin: Google PageRank Tool
Posted by: | CommentsI just found a cool wordpress plug-in today. What a great resource for WordPress Webmasters and those that use WordPress for their business.
This plugin is the Google PageRank Tool. When you upload the plug-in into your wordpress admin it will give you google pagerank results in the posts and pages management sections. This way you can get an overall snapshot of each page and you can figure out which posts or pages to give more attention to so they can climb in the rankings.
I think this would be a great plug-in for those that work on other people websites since they would be able to keep tabs on the progess of the individual pages.
Upgrade Your WordPress Sites Now to Avoid Losing It All
Posted by: | CommentsSome people have nothing better to do than ruin your day, hence the development of computer viruses and website hacking “worms”. There is a “worm” that is going around right now that attacks and corrupts older versions of WordPress blogs.
The simple solution is to upgrade to the newest version of WordPress, but before you do, spend a few minutes to backup your database. Now that sounds complicated and if you’re anything like me you are going to procrastinate backing up because it sounds like a lot of trouble, but it’s really not!
Just go to “install plugins” and search for the WordPress Database Backup plugin (wp-db-backup) and install it. If you have an older version of wordPress that requires manual plugin installs you can find the plugin here:

Set the backup to be emailed you and go ahead and perform the backup! It literally only took me a minute. (For blogs with lots of posts it may take longer, but it’s all automatic.) I found this plugin in a newsletter from PotPieGirl. After her blog was hacked she was able to save her blog from destruction by using the files this plugin creates. Then she was kind enough to share her solution with her readers.
Now you’re ready to upgrade to the newest version of WordPress!
At the top of your admin panel you should have a box that says: WordPress 2.8.4 is available! Please update now. Click the link to upgrade and follow the instructions. It’s as simple as that!
If you have an older version of WordPress that requires manual upgrades, just go download the automatic upgrade plugin located here:

That’s it…you’re done. You thought it would be harder than that? With the new versions of WordPress they make all the mundane tasks that used to take forever SO MUCH EASIER!
Backup & upgrade today to protect your hard work & your peace of mind!
