WordPress Flickr Mosaic Plugin
Electric Studio are proud to have released another WordPress Plugin, the Flickr Mosaic.
This new plugin pulls in the latest images from your Flickr RSS feed, and then shows the thumbnails as a mosaic. You can place this function either in the sidebar or anywhere in your template file you wish to show it.
Three simple steps to get the best out of WordPress and SEO
If being found on Google, Bing and other search engines is a priority, and it usually is, then WordPress is fantastic straight out of the box. It only needs a few tweaks to the settings, a couple of plug-ins and a few checks to become truly incredible for search engine optimisation (SEO). Here’s a few tips from us at Electric Studio.
1. Getting the core settings rights
When you install WordPress for the first time, there are a few things you should do to ensure a smooth ride up the rankings.
1.1. Activate permalinks
Permalinks take advantage of a server function called mod rewrite to convert your URL’s to a human readable structure based on a hierarchical structure for pages, or a date, category and tag based structure for posts. Without it the URL’s will show a PHP search string like ?p=6 rather than /parent/child/grandchild which is much more user friendly and better for SEO. You activate permalinks under Settings > Permalinks. We usually choose the Months and Name option.
Electric Studio Cross Linking Plugin for WordPress
Electric Studio are pleased to announce the WordPress plug-in Electric Studio Cross Linking.
The plugin finds every instant of a page title in all other page entries, and creates a link back to that page. An example would be on a website with pages about animals, on a page about dogs it would state that dogs are mammals; the word mammals would get turned into a link that goes to the mammals page.
We developed this plugin was because we needed this functionality on one of our projects, but were unable to find anything suitable in the list of WordPress plugins. We decided to make it into a plugin rather than hard code it so that I could use this again on future sites, and obviously share it with the fantastic WordPress community.
