13 Wordpress Plugins you must HAVE

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Ten minutes ago I do some updates to my plugins and I think is ok if I tell you what
plugins I use, to a good maintenance of your blog!

[1] Askimet - Askimet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments”. Is a good plugin but i think the spammers use PROXY and you never escape from this kind of people.

[2] All in One SEO Pack - Optimizes your Wordpress blog for Search Engines: Automatically optimizes your titles for search engines, Generates META tags automatically, Avoids the typical duplicate content found on Wordpress blogs, You can override any title and set any META description and any META keywords you want. This is the plugin which I love!

A Brief History of RSS

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

RSS large Icon

Where did RSS come from? How long has it been around? RSS has had quite a history, some of which is shrouded in folklore, so I can’t guarantee that my understanding of RSS history is 100 percent flawless. In fact, even what RSS stands for has changed over the years! There are three meanings for RSS and the version in which they were introduced:

  • Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
  • RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.90 and 1.0)
  • Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

Today, the most common meaning is Really Simple Syndication.

So where did the idea of syndicationsubscribing to a site’s contentcome from? Long before RSS, there were various other formats (you couldn’t quite call them languages) that supported syndications. You might recall Microsoft’s Channel Definition Format (CDF), which worked with the Active Channel feature of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Using CDF, you could subscribe to various online publication sites. Internet Explorer would check those publishers regularly and download new data as it became available. CDF was introduced in 1997, and in the same year, a developer at Userland.com, Dave Winer, introduced his own XML-based format for syndication in his Scripting News Web log. Userland.com, which first appeared in 1997, specializes in Web publishing software, and figures heavily in the history of RSS.

What Is Web 2.0

What is web 2.0?

I found on Oreillynet.com an interesting article about what is WEB 2.0!

What Is Web 2.0

The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The pretenders are given the bum’s rush, the real success stories show their strength, and there begins to be an understanding of what separates one from the other.

The concept of “Web 2.0″ began with a conference brainstorming session between O’Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O’Reilly VP, noted that far from having “crashed”, the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What’s more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as “Web 2.0″ might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.

Digg saturation: Patrick from Blogstorm came up with a way to rank websites using a Digg saturation value that he come up with by searching Google with a specific URI. Apparently Google really likes sites that are Dugg.
