Spreading the good news about the world's most awe-inspiring blog platform & content management engine - WordPress
Pagination in posts
I got an inquiry from one of my blog’s readers about post pagination, which I used in my previous post. Well, it’s very simple. To split your post into separate sub-pages, simply use the WordPress Quicktag, <!–nextpage–>. Remember the <!–more–> tag? It cuts the post where it’s placed when the post appears in the blog’s [...]
Mobile WordPress by WPtouch
I’ve recently purchased a premium plugin for creating the mobile edition of my WordPress sites: WPtouch™ 2.0 Pro. I’d been using the free version of WPtouch (up to v1.9.16) and had been quite happy with it, so I decided to give the paid version a go. The premium version promised better features, you see. And, [...]
Shortlinks for posts
Since WordPress 3.0 was launched, I’m sure you’ve noticed the Get Shortlink button below the post title input field in the Add New / Edit Post screen, beside the post’s permalink. (See image below.) It’s a nifty feature made available to us by good old WordPress.org for shortening our posts’ URLs. Clicking on it will [...]
Oyako themes
Oyako (親子) is a Japanese term that means “parent-child”. In Japanese cuisine there’s a tasty dish I like that’s called oyako-don, which is a bowl of rice toppings of chicken and egg. And why am I talking about this? WordPress’ child themes! Ever got tired of copying over the changes you’ve made to your templates [...]

The Asia Foundation brought together various human rights activists from all over Mindanao to learn hands-on about online social media and how Internet tools can be employed in their line of work. The TAF consultant who helped [...]
Finally, WP3.0 is here!
The 13th major update of WordPress is finally here! A little late coming, but more than welcome to all WordPress lovers. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s the merger of the two branches of WordPress and now it’s multi-site enabled. I’m working on a Web project that’s built on WordPress 3.0 and that will take advantage [...]
Permalinks and SEO
A few days ago I changed the permalink structure on my Davao Delicious blog from /%category%/%postname%/ to /%year%/%category%/%postname%/. As of this writing, that blog has a PageRank of 4 and a lot of the posts and pages are indexed by Google. Some might say my move was risky because it would cause my blog to [...]
WP3.0: multi-site enabled!
WordPress 3.0 is set to be released this month, and I can’t tell you how very excited I am to get my hands on it. I do have the beta2 version, and I’ve been playing around with it. There are quite a few new stuff you can expect from WP3.0, but the most significant update [...]
