Swobodin v Brně

After some days of talk, I finally could convince a childhood friend, Kaizuko, to set up a blog. Kaizuko was discouraged at first, as had no ideas to talk about, but wrote 5 posts today, all treating interesting topics!!
Feel free to find out about the new blog called “My thoughts are my company“.
Welcome Kaizuko […]

Looking for more Google ranking, I updated my permalink structure and set it to the following for posts:
http://swobodin.fedora-tn.org/archive/999
The feature is included within wordpress, but you can handle it manually using mod_rewrite.
Note that old URL structure (/?p=999) still works.

I know this joke since more than 2 years, and I can’t stop laughing every time I see it.

Visit a non-existent link at word press plugins portal; for example

I have just added some plugins to my Word Press:

Related posts (so that old posts won’t be lost)
Subscribe to comments (whether you want to be noticed at a new comment)
Keywords (Useful for Technorati tags and meta tags)

I also added statistics and database backup (That’s for me). Again, welcome everybody to my blog!

Spammers made me shit: over 100 spams per day obliged me to install a Captcha plugin that works fine for now; I choosed fonts that can be read by human beings, hope it doesn’t bother you, serious people of course.

I have released a 0.1 version of a pseudo WordPress plugin which displays events that occured in the same day / month along the history.
Pseudo, becuase it’s doesn’t have plugins features; I can even say it’s independent from WordPress. It consists of 2 MySQL tables: the main (wp_todayevents) and the backup one (wp_todayevents_archive) and […]

I don’t like the way of making permanent links in WordPress blogs; there are mainly 2 methods:

URL indicates date and/or title post, the most popular method, but the problem is funny: I can’t access to my posts through a proxy/firewall stupidly configured, where the words ’sex’, ‘fuck’, ’suck’, … are censored. As I don’t […]

Porn, viagra, casino, and some words I don’t understand… I got more than 70 within a week! Fortunately, the WordPress keywords filter removed most of them, but it’s not enough, since the database size strangely increased. I am using a new method: denying spam robots with .htaccess file.
According to the WordPress site, you should […]

WordPress contains a nice WYSIWYG HTML editor, but it doesn’t fit with XHTML specifications.
I found out a cool method to generate valid XHTML code on WordPress; all what you need is Nvu and Vim.
First, use Nvu to edit your HTML text, and set you markup output to XHTML transitional:
Tools - Preferences - Advanced - […]

This post is generated using a PHP code!
Thanks to Mr. R’s suggestion, I looked at the WordPress plugins repository and found a script that executes PHP.
Excellent feature, it even deals with forms inside posts and pages, and keeps it valid XHTML.

I made some quick and dirty hacks on WordPress that are useful for me:

Fixed keyword meta-tag adding categories as keywords; no need to make a file, just added to header.php the following lines:
<?php $numcats = $wpdb->get_var(”SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->categories”); ?>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”<?php for ($i=1; $i< =$numcats;$i++) {print get_the_category_by_ID($i).’,';}?>Swobodin,blog” />
Added a plug-in that inserts images […]

It works!
I have just configured and ran my blog; after trying to develop blogs, testing others, I finally choosed WordPress for many reasons: cool design with a valid XHML, many features, customizations, easy PHP code to hack on, … did I mention it’s licensed as GPL?
I changed a bit some stylesheet, backgrounds, … and […]
