This blog is based on WordPress, and customizing and SEO-ing it is a constant process, so I blog about that quite often. After all, good SEO on this blog makes for lots of visitors, which is exactly what I want of course.
Unleashing Quix
I’ve been working on a secret (side) project for 3-4 months now, way longer than I ever intended to work on it, but it’s now ready for release. I’m ready to show you Quix, a tool I think is very cool, which I’ve shared with quite a few of my friends already who all like [...]
Checking Blog Privacy Settings
As a result of last nights post, I dove in and added a check to my Robots Meta plugin that checks whether you’re allowing search engines to spider your site. If not, it’ll throw an ugly warning on each and every page until you fix it: The code for it is easy, and as I’d [...]
Web Designer Mag should fix its SEO

This way, the blog icons plugin would [...]
Geeky bits in WordPress 2.9
Thanks to Peter Westwoord’s WordPress Beta Tester plugin, this blog is on the 2.9 development track again, after having been off trunk for a couple of months. That plugin makes it really easy to switch any WordPress install to the development branch, either for the next “point” release (eg. 2.8.6), or the next major version, [...]
Gravity Forms Widget + Extra’s
I’ve been blogging about Gravity Forms before, and I still think it’s one of the best plugins to have been released this year, if not all time. In recent releases they’ve been adding and adding and adding incredible new features, showing that you really do want to buy the plugin and get all their updates. [...]
