That is why I love using Wordpress for my website. You can do so many things with it. Lately I read about how LiewCF integrate StumbleUpon on his website. To do it is really simple.

  1. Open up your single.php (index.php is also can) file.
  2. Put this code in the file.

    <ahref=”http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”http://www.stumbleupon.com/images/stumble1.gif” alt=”Stumble It!”></a>

  3. Make sure you put that code in the loop or it will not work.
  4. Done!

If you don’t want image as the link for the StumbleUpon, you can replace it with simple text like Stumble It!, Thumbs Up!, etc. I know that you guys are creative. Lol… :d [tags]stumbleupon, tips, stumble[/tags]

For the demo, you can see the StumbleUpon button below my post. Stumble It! :p

Check this out, Microsoft Firefox 2007 Professional Edition.

At first when I look at this site, I can see that it is not a website from Microsoft. And why should Microsoft use Google AdSense on their site. Want to generate more incomes? Lol… Btw they offer free @msfirefox.com email account. If you want, you can signup at their site but beware, I’m not sure whether this website belongs to Microsoft or not.

Cypher: I like watching the video. Funny! Lol… :)) I have downloaded the video for my collection. :d [tags]microsoft, firefox, internet browser[/tags]

For adsense publishers, as we know, we can set our adsense ads with channels. But how did you name the channels? Here I will share with you tips on how I manage my adsense ads by using specific name format for my adsense channels.

Because I have multiple websites and use wordpress themes, so I need to name the channels according to where the adsense will be displayed. To make it simple I use this kind of format for my adsense channels.

[site/theme]_[file]-[location]-[ads type]

Here are what the meaning for each tag.

  • site/theme - Your site or theme name. Eg: k2, kubrick, dfire, chnet.
  • file - Filename which you put the adsense code. Eg: index, page, archives, search, 404.
  • location - Where you place the adsense code. Eg: header, sidebar, footer, entry.
  • ads type - Your adsense type. Eg: adunit, linkunit.

Ok here is an example:

k2_single-header-adunit

What we can get from this channel name is, the ads is an adunit type. It is located under k2 theme folder in file single.php. And the ads is being display on site header.

So when each time you login into your adsense report, it is easier for you to track down which ads are performing well and which are not.

Note:

  1. If there are more ads in one page in one location, put a number after the ads type. Eg: k2_single-header-adunit2
  2. Make sure you name your adsense channels properly because the maximum characters are 30.
  3. You also can use this tips on AdSearch channels too.

We knew that Firefox has problem with the memory usage. Sometimes it can reach to hundreds of megabytes. But here is a tricks on how to reduce the memory usage when you minimize your Firefox.

  1. Type about:config in Firefox address bar and press Enter.
  2. Right click in the page and select New > Boolean.
  3. Type config.trim_on_minimize in the box that pops up. Press Enter.
  4. Select True and then press Enter.
  5. Restart Firefox.

What it will do is, when each time you minimize your Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down to 10Mb (this is what happen on my PC) but then it will slowly increase up to 50Mb. When you maximize it back, it will stay on 50Mb or maybe 70Mb.

Note: This is only to reduce the Firefox memory usage when you minimize it. Not to fix them. :)
