How to Setup A SEO friendly Permalink in WordPress

Permalinks are the URLs to your single posts, pages and categories postings. By default, WordPress displays permalinks in this way: http://www.k-director.com/?p-123. This permalink means nothing to Google. A more search engine friendly permalink should include the post title in the link such as: http://www.k-director.com/blog/blogging-seo. This permalinks tell Google spiders what the article is about immediately. Thus, your post will have a bigger chance of showing up in SERP.

How to alter WordPress Permalink

To alter WordPress permalink, go to Options in your WordPress, then select Permalinks. Check “Custom, specify below”. In the custom structure box you can insert these codes:

%year%

The year of the post, four digits, for example 2004

How to add an animated favicon.ico

To add an animated favicon.ico instead of statics favicon.ico for your blog or website is not that difficult. Here are the steps to create and insert an animated favicon.ico:

  1. Create an animated gif file.
  2. Rename the file extension to .ico.
    favicon.gif -> Rename -> favicon.ico
  3. Upload it to your website. For example: http://www.yoursite.com/images/
  4. Edit your header.php or index.php. Depend on what CMS you’re using. Add the following:
    <link rel=”icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/images/favicon.ico” type=”image/favicon-icon” />

Now the animated gif should appear in the address bar of your web browser or bookmark section. So far, only Mozilla Firefox and Opera can display animated icon, and Internet Explorer didn’t support it.

Note: Animated sequences can be very distracting. :idea:

How Many Books You Read Per Year?

The World Chinese Book Fair

I just came back from The World Chinese Book Fair (my house is very near from The Mines). This year they finally decided to charge for each entrance which costs RM2.00. FOC for students and elderly citizen.

A library is a hospital for the mind

I bought some books in book fair. Before I started blogging, I was actually a book worm. Now I have less time to spend on reading as I am new in blogging, I spare most of my rest hours to learn how to blog better, SEO and how to make money online. More hobbies take more time and energy. :???:

Books I bought include scientific books and magazines, San Guo Yan Yi in simplified words (I have its traditional format version too), computer magazines and a Taiwan Chinese book. I will be going again in coming days to get some books for my jobs.

Seems like K-Director.com has went through a lot even it’s just a 9 months old blog.

2 weeks after my first appeal to Google Adsense, I decided to fill in online appeal form again to “remind” Google about my case. Few days later, I finally got their reply.

Freeware: Send and Receive SMS via Bluetooth in PC

To get a freeware to send and receive SMS via bluetooth, infrared or USB cable in PC is actually not that simple as I thought. After googling around this morning, I realized there are a lot of rubbish and non related websites are indexed in first or second of Google search result pages. Therefore, I think it’s better for me just recommend the real FREEWARE I found to send and receive SMS through computer.
