I actually use Intense Debate on my main website, Blondish.net and at first, it was an experience I was conducting to see what would be better – Intense Debate or Disqus?

I have really enjoyed the updates in the past few months that have come up and even deciding to try Disqus on another blog has been pushed to a low priority. Sad, because I could be blogging my own experience here at WPAddict, but great because that means I really do like Intense Debate.

So far, Intense Debate has integrated CommentLuv, and just a few days ago rolled out automatic logins from various places including Facebook, Twitter, WordPress.com, and OpenID as mentioned at Introducing WordPress.com User Accounts & Auto-Login to IntenseDebate.

Truthfully, I think it would be wild if they tried working with Disqus to allow a login for that since there are a lot of Disqus users too. Though, it is just a whimsical thought.

This is great as Intense Debate has finally started to catch up to Disqus. I can only wonder what else they have planned.

I have been tagging quite a few commenters for spam and noting at other WordPress related sites, that there have been a lot of people leaving comments for their premium plugins. The message has nothing to do with the original post and in my case, it was on a post of a plugin that had nothing to do with the premium posts. Rather than go about it this way, perhaps the plugin makes should consider Read More →

A lot of people who are into search engine optimization vary on this. Personally I use /%postname%/ and set it up for my own clients. Why? It is easy and contains the keywords necessary for the optimal search. I am not known as an expert, but I have built quite a few sites that have improved well through ranking. I believe this has been the best. I know there are people that like %postname%.html and Read More →

Lately I have been seeing a lot of talk about frameworks. Rather than go into it right away, I just thought it might be fun to have a poll here at WP Addict about what people use as a framework. You can leave a comment if you want, but it is not necessary. And the plugin used for the poll is WP-Polls by Lester Chan

At first, when I thought about this issue, I had a brain fart and about calling software that scrapes content onto WordPress blogs were autobots. See what happens when blond hair takes over the brain… I think it is because of WP Robot, that started the idea off. WP Robot is a plugin for WordPress that allows a use to basically scrape keyword related content selected by the website owner. I see a lot of Read More →

With so many blogs out there, I keep hearing about people copying material or ripping off graphics. The plugin, WP-CopyProtect apparently takes care of this issue – for the most part. A person can just view the source of the site by going to the browser’s menu and filch the code directly. The plugin is suppose to prevent selection text and disables the right click on the site. It is a pretty simple plugin created Read More →

Remember the website Jean-Baptise Jung started called WPVote.com? During mid-2009, WPVote.com was the talk amongst WordPress bloggers. Why? Because it was a site built with the WordPress core as a digg-like site. This was a break through for those who were still doubtful of the power of WordPress as a CMS. When Jean-Baptiste did not have time to keep up WPVote.com, he left it in the capable hands of Ben Gillbanks (@binarymoon on Twitter.) Bill Read More →

I really enjoy using StatPress. Let me re-phrase that – I really enjoyed using StatPress for a time. I would review StatPress Reloaded, but it is only compatible to 2.7.1 and seems to not have any updates soon. StatPress is a real-time statistics plugin for users to install on their WordPress blog and be able to check through their administration panel. Stats includes are visitors per day, feeds per day, what browsers people are using Read More →

I have noticed a lot of plugins over the years lack the ability to totally uninstall files. What I mean by totally uninstalling is that when you use your WordPress admin panel to delete the files, it does not always take away the database tables that were installed in the beginning. A couple I can think of up front, are Next Gen Gallery and WP Link Directory. While it might not seem so important for Read More →

I came across Revision Diet after looking for a temporary plugin solution for my blog, Blondish.net. For those unaware, I just cute 150 static pages from the site, but I still have over 120 static pages, and over 300 blog posts. Just imagine the number of revisions I have hoarded! It was insane an putting some strain on the allocation I gave to my individual hosting account on my server. Installation was easy, and using Read More →
