How to Separate Pingbacks and Trackbacks from Comments
According to Wikipedia "A trackback is one of three types of linkbacks, methods for Web authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking, and so referring, to their articles".Most bloggers don't show pingbacks and tracbacks on their blog but if you want to show them then I recommend separating pingbacks and trackbacks from the comments. The main reason I like to separate them is because comments are sometimes an ongoing conversation and trackbacks in the middle kinda breaks the flow of the conversation.Here is how you can separate the pingbacks and trackbacks from the comments.search for the following line in your comments.php template file<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>Put the following two lines just after the above line.<?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?> <?php if($comment_type == 'comment') { ?>Now look for the end of the 'for' loop so you can close the if statement that you just introduced. To do that search for the following lineendforeach;Just above that line insert the following code to end the if statement<?php } ?>This will filter out the trackbacks and only show comments in this section. If you don't want to ...

This is a quick WordPress Installation guide with screen shots to get your blog up and running quickly. After reading this WordPress Installation guide you will know exactly how you can install WordPress quickly on your Blog in Four easy steps.A detailed WordPress Installation Instruction can be found at WordPress.org. I install WordPress frequently for my friends and myself and I find the detailed installation instructions on WordPress.org to contain too much details for me, so I needed a cut down and more common version of WordPress installation instructions and hence the birth of this post.This WordPress installation instruction mainly takes into account the most common web hosting solution example (e.g. access to 'cPanel'). I install WordPress this way because it allows me to work on concurrent installation related tasks at the same time (e.g. Add database while the WrodPress files are being uploaded to my server) resulting in a reduced total WordPress install time.

WordPress Plugin for Simple Google Adsense Insertion/Integration
Easy to use Wordpress plugin to insert Google Adsense to your posts, pages and sidebar by using a trigger text or calling the php function.There are many plugins and services which can add Google Adsense to your WordPress site. However I found that even though something like Adsense Manager or Adsense Deluxe provides a lot of customizable options, it can be overwhelming and isn't really simple enough for people who are new to WordPress or for people who simply want to insert Google Adsense to their site in a few clicks.I found that most of the time I only use two or three types of Google Adsense units in various places and posts throughout my sites. Google's Adsense policy mentions to not have more than three adsense block in one page anyway. That's why I wrote my own Simple Adsense Insertion Plugin for WordPress, to focus on having 1-3 Google Adsense codes saved and use them where ever I want on my site by inserting a simple trigger text to my posts,pages and sidebar. Installation 1. Unzip and Upload the folder 'WP-Simple-Adsense-Insertion' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings and configure the options ...
