When you log into your wordpress admin panel, you’ll see a message sitting on top of the panel that says “WordPress 3.0 is available! Please update now.”

WordPress 3.0 is the much awaited wordpress version, Matt and team has been working tirelessly to release this. Its one of the major wordpress updates. When you update it you’ll see your default theme changed. I like the inclusion of the short-link tab for all blog posts, the short-link tab will be useful to post links to facebook fan pages and other social networks.

Make Money Online with the Ultimate Blogging Theme 3.0

ZK — Mon, 31 May 2010 10:58:42 +0000

The 16 year old Kid Blogger “Carl Ocab” has launched version 3 of one the best selling wordpress themes – The Ultimate Blogging Theme. We had earlier done a review and a discount coupon offer of the Ultimate Blogging Theme when it had first launched about 17 months ago, it’s been the most commented on wordpress theme on this blog.

The latest version of the theme is much better and more user friendly than the earlier versions. The Ultimate Blogging Theme runs on a lot of successful blogs. The theme is best suited to run blog in the make money online and blogging tips niche where advertising is a big component of the blogs revenue.

The theme has ad spots across the design that have been tried and tested to give the best CTR ( Click Thro Rate) and ROI. The basic foundation of the theme remains the same, it was the same Ultimate Blogging Theme that helped Carl rank the number 1 spot on Google for the keyword “make money online” while he was only 13 years old.

The new theme has the option to customize it so that it does not look the same for all the sites. The earlier version of the theme had little option to customize the look an feel of the theme, and because of the lack of customization options all the blogs with this theme looked more or less similar. The new theme puts this to rest.

What’s New in the Ultimate Blogging Theme 3.0 ?

Awesome customization options:
- The entire back-end is much simpler and easier to work with along with options for customizations, and the best part about the theme is that you don’t have to touch a single piece of code.

Inbuilt accessories:
- The theme has inbuilt social bookmarking options, font change options, different blog layouts options.

Better ad block options:
- Better advertising blocks that can be customized easily to bring in more income for your blog.

Additional miscellaneous options:
- The blog has miscellaneous setting options that will help you add a site map URL, add a feed burner id and URL for easy integration, change the featured post settings, change related post counts, automatic addition of “continue reading” text after defined amount of words, the new theme also has a built in SEO feature for blog posts where you can easily add title, description and keywords.

Check out the video below to see a live demo of the Ultimate Blogging Theme 3.0

Download WordPress Version 2.9

ZK — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:32:26 +0000

WordPress.org has launched the latest wordpress version 2.9, if you are running your blog on any other version I recommend you to upgrade to WordPress 2.9, keeping your wordpress updated to the latest version is one of the best security measures of preventing your blog from being hacked.

Some of the new features include :

- A Trash Bin concept for comments and posts , you can undo any comment from the trash bin if you accidentally happen to delete it. It’s a good enhancement feature that has been included in the new version.

- Quick Edit has been included for comments, this feature help you to edit your users comments and upload it. I am not sure what the objective of this is and why should you have an option to edit comments ? Let us know if you have figured this out.

- Empty Spam : Another great feature to be included in this version. Unlike the earlier version you don’t have to delete spam comments page by page. One click of the Empty Spam tab will deleted all your spam comments, but I recommend you to check every page and then delete spam comments as a lot of times there are genuine comments that get included in spam comments.

If you are new to WordPress, you can download the WordPress handy guide installation process. If your blog is hosted on Blue Host its a very simple “One Click Installation” process to install wordpress.

Have you downloaded WordPress 2.9 ? Please share with us the features that you like in the new version.

WordPress under attack, Upgrade to WordPress 2.8.4

ZK — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:29:27 +0000

The WordPress Team has confirmed that right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, registers a user and users a security bug to allow a code to be executed through the permalink structure and automatically makes itself the admin of the blog. The worm then uses java script to hide itself when you look at the users page, attempts to clean up the damage and leaves unnoticed as if nothing ever happen while it inserts hidden spam and malware into your posts.

This sounds scary and I am not trying to scare you here, but the fact is that if you are using any other WordPress version other than the latest version 2.8.4, the above could happen to your blog.

The WordPress Team spends a lot of time and effort on fixing bugs to ensure your blog is not hacked, I recommend you to immediately update to the latest WordPress version 2.8.4 to avoid any hacks or bugs. It just takes one click to update to the new version automatically.

Thesis Theme powers this blog

ZK — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:32:57 +0000

If GOD Blogged, he would use the Thesis Theme

A few weeks ago I had asked my blog readers about their views on the Thesis Theme and would they like to see this blog run on Thesis, the reactions were mixed. I had a 60 – 40 split with a majority of the reader favouring this blog on Thesis. This morning I decided to install the Thesis Theme on this blog. I’ve installed the developer’s license which means that I have the license to use the thesis theme on more than one blog. I have not done any major customisation of the theme or worked on any design as yet, I think the theme looks great without any design elements – Thesis Raw and Classic.

Why I choose Thesis ?

- Very clean layout
- Looks very sleek, elegant & professional
- Easy to read
- Fast loading
- Easy customisation of the code
- Search Engine Optimised
- Easy headline customisation and font selection

Do you think the blog looks more authorative, trust worthy and professional on the Thesis Theme? I am still working to make minor tweaks on this blog, so you may see a few glitches till I get everything fixed. I’ll be making changes on further improving the blog and hopefully you’ll like it.
