Finally Every WordPress Installation Current
And it was a mother. This was why I wait so long to update.
First, I made sure that all my plugins were current, but it turns out that this new version of WordPress is a big change and it really didn’t matter if they were current because a lot were not going to work.
Alinks
This is a plugin I had on every installation of WordPress. And I am tired of messing with it to make it work with WordPress 2.6.1 or the theme at Digital Products Review. I am not really sure which it is, but I am done for a while. But when I turn it on, my homepage looks like the picture on the right. It did nothing to the other pages on the site.
Priests of Blog
Most people don’t give a second thought to how the search engines work. When I explain that part of my job, I have to say something along the lines of, "You know, when you are searching for Athlete’s Foot Cream online. That first link you click on. Well, someone worked hard to get their site there out of the thousands available."
"But what if I’m not searching for Athlete’s Foot Cream?"
"Okay, Donkey Shows then."
"I don’t have much interest in Donkeys."
Monetization So Far and Alinks
This weekend was another research weekend, hence my last links post. I have been looking a lot at the alinks plugin.
This plugin allows you to assign urls to phrases within your posts. The plugin does it dynamically. It even has modules for such affiliate programs as Clickbank and Commission Junction.
By using this plugin, you can monetize your blog and link deeper to older posts at the same time. But I didn’t want to go about this manually, more like semi-manually.
So this is going to be one of my thought process posts where it go off on tangents trying to find an answer for what I am trying to accomplish.
