How to Migrate Permalinks in Your Blog?
September 28, 2009 | 1 Comment
Welcome back!
So if you don’t like your original permalink and you want to change to more SEO friendly permalinks, I am sure you know that this is a mega challenge as you can loose your archived posts during the migration to a new permalink structure. Relax, there is a easy way if you use the wordpress permalink migration plugins.
If you are wondering what is a permalink? Then here are some definitions:
- A permalink, or permanent link, is a URL that points to a specific blog or forum entry after it has passed from the front page to the archives. …
- A static address (link) to an individual blog entry or news item on the World Wide Web
- In a blog, this is the link that goes to a specific individual entry.
- Blogs are made up of many posts. The permalink is the unique URL of a single post on a blog. It is usually located at the bottom of the blog entry …
These plugins will tell search engines and also browsers that the old/ugly permalink is changed permanently using permanent redirect. Here are the examples of permalinks:
- http://www.blogname.com/?p=123
- http://www.blogname.com/post-title (/%postname%/)
- http://www.blogname.com/category-name/post-title ( /%category%/%postname%/)

Wordpress Plugin for Comment Policy
September 18, 2009 | 5 Comments
If you are facing what I am, then you need this wordpress plugin for sure. I do get every day at least 100+ spam comments with variety of topics. I want to keep the control on the quality of the website comments and purging of these spams can be a very tedious task if I don’t clean it every second day.
While I have great faith on the Akismet as it does a damn good job but at the same time I don’t want to delete the legitimate comments. And that’s where this plugin comes in handy.
Clearly display a “comment policy” on your blog, help your readers self-moderate their comments, and save loads of time.
Using the Comment Policy Plugin for WordPress you’ll be able to do just that. Tell your readers what type of comments are acceptable, and which ones are not.
