Sometimes i wonder how things are done so i right click my mouse and select view source, but they are already out put as html code not actual code that build it. so the journey begins one day i saw a website with a animated tabs ,ahh that’s cool i want one that on my website! and after searching a while with uncle google, i found jquery tabs and i don’t even know what is jquery :O but best part is; it is packed with examples. Next problem is how to make it works with WordPress, so here this is my quick n dirty resolution.

This time the mission involving following files: from the jquery tabs :

• jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js
• jquery.history_remote.pack.js
• jquery.tabs.js
• jquery.tabs.pack.js
• jquery.tabs-ie.css
• jquery.tabs.css
• loading.gif
• tab.png

and put them all in one folder called js then put the folder inside my wordpress themes e.g my themes titled bali so the js folder is wp-content/themes/bali/js And from my wordpress theme i change 2 files ( header.php and sidebar.php) plus adding one file to store the tabs call jquery.tabs.php

step one open header.php and adds following lines just before </head>

I want the tabs to show on my sidebar , open sidebar.php and add this line

and what’s in on jquery.tabs.php

WP Cache Plugin:

As you start to build traffic to your blog, you’ll soon experience a need to reduce the load on your server. The WPCache plugin for WordPress alows you to serve many more pages per second. It does this by caching each page to the server upon the first load of the page so the page doesn’t have to be compiled the next time it is served.

And below are recommended plug-in i might install in the future

“Most of us running WordPress practically rely on Akismet to combat spam and according to its overall stats, 93% of all comments are spam (the real figures would be a bit higher than that). Today alone, there are close to 2 million spam being filtered out by Akismet. But what if Akismet fails again and the next time would be more disastrous? Thousands upon thousands of comments to either manually moderate, delete or flag as spam. That task could take hours and maybe even days especially for blog networks with dozens or hundreds of blogs to maintain. ”

So I must say that this plug-in is Rock! if you’re using wordpress activate this plug-in.

When a developer says they’ve added “We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog” it could mean that something you have now, that works just great for you- may not work the moment you upgrade.

There are few functionallity added

WordPress › Blog » WordPress 2.2
* WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
* Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
* A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
* Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
* We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
* Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
* We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.
In addition there were also dozens of UI and accessibility improvements, ranging from more concise wording around options and links to things like a view and preview link above the content box when you’re editing a post or page.

Once again, the size of the WordPress community helps build a better program. And while they claim over 1.4 million downloads of 2.1, it’s probably on the low side since people like us download it one time and install it on over 80 sites.

PC users

just hit alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) to toggle it. Mac users- use cntrl-v (Firefox)

(Not seeing either of those? Visit Users → Your Profile and make sure that “Use the visual editor when writing” is checked. Still having problems? Visit the WordPress support forums.)

Pasting from word processors just became a whole lot easier. Two of the new buttons are “Paste as Plain Text” and “Paste from Word.” Nice for those who use such things. I like the custom character thing too. Now I can easily add ∞ whenever I need it…

Meta Tag Generator creates meta tags for posts and pages, if none are set, the plugin wil use a default set, the index page will always show the defaults.
Download and installation

Download the plugin and unzip the entire contents to /wp-content/plugins/. You should end up with the following file:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-meta-tag-generator.php

To use this plugin just browse to the Plugins page in your WordPress Administration area, and activate the plugin.

Go to “Options > General” in your WordPress admin and enter your description you would like in the tagline entry. This will be used by the plugin to generate the default description meta tag. Remember that wordpress also uses this as the description for your rss feeds.

The next step is to edit the plugin, look for $keywords = ”; on line 12 and enter your default set of keywords there. for example my variable looks like:

$keywords = ‘wil rushmer, rushmer, wordpress, wordpress plugins, php, css, xhtml, web standards’;
Using Meta Tag Generator

to generate meta tags on a per post or per page basis, use the key/value sets as:
description – small description of the post or page
keywords – keywords for post or page (also stacked with the default keywords assigned earlier).

Heres a step by step rundown of entering the keywords for a post:
under the heading of “Add a new custom field to this post” on the edit or add post/page form type in keywords under the “key” heading
under value enter the keywords, seperated by a comma. What you should end up with, looks like below.

When you are finished hit the “add custom field button”. Repeat the process for the description.
