WordPress Plugins

If not long ago wrote a post with wearing extensions for Firefox 3 today I will do the same, but with the plugins I use for WordPress .

And as I said in the post Firefox extensions, WordPress plugins also have numerous depending on what we need, some very useful, and more curious than anything else, so I'll focus on those who currently use.

In principle they are functional for version 2.5 of WordPress, and that I go all and is the version I use, so you should have no problems if you use this version.

If you want any concrete that is not on this list, you can always search the WordPress Plugins page among all there is, which are few.

And now let's see the list of plugins I use, first saying that I am not very extensive in their use, installation, operation, etc, because otherwise it would be endless, and perhaps some plugins do not need to use them as the Theme use in your blog, because now some of them already have some functions that I perform using plugins built right into the Theme:

Akismet : The Anti-Spam plugin for WordPress excellence and absolutely necessary to forget the spam in your blog. But I'm wrong, is now installed by default in versions of WordPress, but need to obtain an API Key for WordPress to use it, which is not very complicated to do.

Share This : This plugin performs arguably diffusion of the post in your blog, as it allows a reader, if a post has been interesting, send it to the most common social networking Internet, or the possibility of sending Post someone e-mail, among other things.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog at the end of each post, whether on the home page or on the individual post, represented by the following icon:

Currently there are several newer versions of this plugin, but I use the 1.4 that I like better than today.

Dagon Design Sitemap Generator : This plugin allows you to create a Sitemap of your blog so that on one page (or several if you have many entries) can be written every post, pages, categories, etc, as a list.
List is updated automatically with each new entry, logically, making your visitors can see all the entries and reader followed by search engines.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog tab: Site Map .

Contact Form : This simple but effective plugin, you can put in an easy and simple contact form on my blog so your readers can contact you.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog tab in the Contact .

Google XML Sitemaps : This plugin creates a sitemap of your site in XML format for example then you can go to Google Webmaster Tools and to facilitate the indexing of the pages of your blog by Google.

Gravatar : I think this plugin may be somewhat outdated, because nowadays many themes incorporate Gravatar by default, but it is the case, this plugin will allow you to implement it in your blog, so that readers who already use Gravatar may put its image in the comments, or you can choose a default image for readers who do not use it.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog Post have any comments, such as this .
Those who have left comments and use your Gravatar icon leaves, and those who do not leave them a default globe.

Popularity Contest : With this plugin you will know which are the most popular post of your blog in terms of parameters previously configured according to the size you want to take the assessment (Reviews, Visits to the home page, by category, Trackbacks, pingbacks, etc).
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the sidebar of the blog as seen in the image below:

Real Fast Latest Comments : This simple but effective plugin to display recent comments left on your blog.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the sidebar, as shown in the following image:

Subscribe to comments : This plugin provides an opportunity for someone to leave a comment on an entry, to receive future responses and / or comments on this entry via e-mail.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog on the check box that comes immediately after the button "Submit Comment" to write a comment as shown in the image below:

WordPress Database Backup : Because you never know when disaster strikes can occur, at least not get caught off guard. This plugin sends you daily via e-mail a copy of the database of your blog, better safe than sorry, .

WP-Pager : This plugin can show a slightly more orderly and structured the number of pages and post to your blog, that the usual "next entries" or "previous entries", both generally on the main page, and the number of entries that comprise a given category if it is to navigate through specific categories. A plugin that I personally like it.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog in the bottom of the blog as seen in the image below:

WP 2.3 Related Posts : Another interesting plugin through the function of tags or labels WordPress version 2.5 allows you to show your readers or post other entries that relate to a particular post, and can be configured to display random entries if absence related post.
In principle I use the tag system of WordPress itself, idk if using other plugins to manage tags also works or not, just as it is interesting to have a more or less fixed tags in the post common categories facilitate their relationship.
You can see the integration of this plugin HelloWorld Blog to click on the title of a post to enter the single page of it. For example, as shown in the image, in the Post on extensions of Firefox 3 here are the tips that shows related posts:

Well, I think this is it, , Which is something, I hope you have found interesting here, and remember again that this is just a small selection and you can find many more plugins in the WordPress plugins page and a few plugins that are not unique, ie that there may be other plugins that perform the same function, even in a better way, but I, these are the use.

And you, Do you use any other plugin worth being named?, You can say in the comments.

Increase security in Gmail

Recently Google has added to its mail service Gmail a new feature that security can be quite useful, or at least allows you to take some control logons on your account, and where they occur but go little by bit.

When you log into Gmail, at the bottom of the screen shows the following message:

As shown in the figure shows the IP address from which you accessed the account and when it has done for the last time, but there's more, because if we click on detailed information we can see this window:

In the picture we see all the new posibildades that offers this feature:

Information about the current session: IP, where it has occurred (browser, mobile, POP3, etc.)
It lets you slam all the sessions you may have open on other computers (looks quite useful if for example you've left the account open by mistake on a public computer)
Information about the last 5 connections: IP, where it has occurred (browser, mobile, POP3, etc.), date and time

More information on the Google help center

It is certainly a great feature to control "uses bizarre" or inadequate in your inbox and detect theft of account, since for example, if you visit always mail from the browser and access the report you see your account has been opened by someone perhaps POP3 access in use without your consent, or if the days and hours of use of the account does not usually coincide with those normally able to see the mail, you can suspect something.

The IP, well, could become useful, but again, if you have it fixed, but in my opinion can become less important as it is normal that is dynamic, and if you connect from many places in one day your account, as there will be many ip's, but if you always do from a PC, if it can be useful too, but we must not become paranoid about this, .

Did this negative?, For again there is the ease with which Google collects data from users who perhaps could even be considered private, such as the IP, although Google seems that the IP data is not a private , the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) in its report 327/03 seems to disagree and which considers itself an IP private data , but hey, these have always been debates about whether Google goes too far with the information stored its users and the uses made of it.

Personally, I do not mind this as it is true that Google "knows everything about me", but thanks to that we can enjoy services and facilities such as other mailers do not, and you like their practices, but the solution is easy, stop using Google services . But for now, not for me to do, and I think this functionality can be very useful.

Blog Twitter and Flickr helloworld

In this post I want to recall some of the online services offered by the Internet and use HelloWorld Blog, which you can see from the sidebar of the blog, but hey, here are more accessible.

One is Flickr , where I have 2 free accounts, I might someday make a Pro, but for now this is what you get:

1) helloworld Blog Flickr Account

On this account, mainly, you can see photos of my trip to Stockholm , concert photos Hero of silence in Zaragoza on 10/10/07 and the exhibition that took place in Zaragoza Playmobil

The user of this account if you want to search directly from Flickr is holamundoblog and the address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8002657 @ N03

2) Account Expoholamundo on Flickr

This account is dedicated exclusively to showing photographs of Expo Zaragoza 2008 which can be found in the category of HelloWorld Blog Expo 2008

The user of this account if you want to search directly from Flickr is expoholamundo and the address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25232657 @ N03 /

Another blog HelloWorld service, available on the Internet and I recently re-opened is Twitter ( What is Twitter? ), which simply becomes a microblogging service, which means short sentences (140 characters / words ) you can tell the world what you want at any given time. For example, if you're going to eat fried eggs and sausage, and you want the following in your profile on twitter know, because you can tweet: To eat fried eggs with chorizo rich rich

Thus, the twitter of HelloWorld Blog can be traced in many ways, I will show some of them:

You can follow him through this blog, because if you're browsing the sidebar you'll see it says: My Twitter, and then get a blue box with the last post tweeted.
Another way is via RSS more comfortable as you can follow the news from the twitter of HelloWorld Blog RSS at the following address: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14964036.atom
Another way is through the actual website Twitter through http://twitter.com/holamundoblog
And if it's not enough, as the last option you give if you already use Twitter, for the most practical and simplest of all, "Follow" to Holamundoblog on twitter and you're done.

Later, maybe talk a little more depth of Twitter, for those who know not that it will.

Be happy and enjoy these services.

Gmail paper

And Google continues to grow, as it has recently launched a spectacular new service: Gmail Paper that gives you the possibility that Google will print the emails that you specify from your account Gmail and send them an email address registered by the Users without any cost, as Google puts advertising return on the back of the sheet but never within the message, just as if the message includes photographs, printed on photographic paper, which carries no bias for the environment since all prints are made on recycled paper. This page is read into the service:

And this is what should have been the post, but Google are very funny!, And although I had missed a lot of the service, I also thought that Google anything, but it seemed a viable service in many respects, and indeed That's right, as Google has betrayed the joke, since it is an act of April 1 amounts to the U.S. which in Spain are the Holy Innocents on December 28, the feast with which Google has contributed announcing the launch of this "new" service, because it is traditional on this day, large companies do some kind of hoax or joke .

Here you can see the confession of Google

Dorian told me that there Another Google prank out there

Schedule Post on Wordpress

As you can see took a few days without writing anything, well, that's because it is being one weeks time rather excasa.

But it said in the title of the post, could have prevented Programming posts of the week for example, if you know in advance whether I would write, is that WordPress allows you the ability to schedule and that post automatically published on the date they specify, which is very useful if you'll be busy few days, but before you have free time to write the post, or if you go a few days away, but you have to write something.

For example I already I have scheduled the next Minigame Monday 07/02/26 to be published that day at 8 am precisely.

How do you program a post in WordPress?

Based on my previous experience and has been successful, I've done is this:

1) Write the post normally (Control Panel / Write / Write entry)

2) Once written, look at the drop-down menus on the right side, and displays it says: Date of entry

*! Watch out, by default, the Edit box now, unchecked, so mark it as in the image.

* Once done, the next thing you have to do is put the Time in which you display the Post:

The drop-down refers to the month.
The image 22 is the day of the month you want to appear, and 2007, the year.
The numbers behind the @, refer to the time that I bring up the post.

So modify them according to your preferences.

Remember: Until now, you write the post, you've checked the edit date, and have modified the data according to your preferences.

3) The next step is to display the Menu "input status" which by default should be something like:

Well, what you have to do is change the input status from Draft to Published

4) Congratulations, you've programmed your input, now you only need to give Post entry, and if all goes well, in the Control panel / dashboard on the right menu you will see something like this:

Well I think this is all, I hope I was not mistaken and that works, but you can leave comments if there is something wrong. I have done this based on the Version 2.3.1 of WordPress, for older versions, I think the same.
