WordPress editor style

I’m writing this with a WordPress editor style CSS active, for the first time. This feature has been available in WordPress since WordPress 3.0 but I had not used it until now, which is nothing but stupid.

GeoSurf Review – I love it.

This is a sponsored review. GeoSurf is one of those products that promises to do something and then does it so well that it surprises you. Fast, reliably and easy – and I wish I’d never worked without it. As I live and work in the Netherlands but have a fair bit of US clients, [...]

Good SEO for a site consists of set of technical requirements, a good site structure and then the most important thing: well [...]

Site Speed tracking in Google Analytics

Just a quickie: I just updated my Google Analytics for WordPress plugin to incorporate the new Site Speed tracking feature that Google announced last week. The feature is on by default and can be disabled in the advanced section of the settings. As you can see from the announcement post, this new feature helps you [...]

Yoast – New & Improved images

Upgrade WordPress, then upgrade plugins!

The current version of my WordPress SEO plugin has a new feature: it supports post type archives in several places. It also has a bug: if your version of WordPress (ie. everything before 3.1) doesn’t support post type archives, it’ll break.

Professional WordPress Plugin Development
