I just found out that the excerpt is great SEO Tool, since this is what will appear if incase somebody search your blog archives. If you do not use this before in the post editor’s optional excerpt field, the first 55 words of the post’s content are used by WordPress that leads to a duplicate content in the blog not unless you disallow crawler to indexed your archives like what I do by changing the robots.txt

The optional Post excerpt could be found at the lower part of your WordPress Write Dashboard. Juts press the ” + ” sign and add your excerpt in the box. And if you are using Windows Live Writer it can be seen by pressing ” F2 ” .

So to avoid duplicate content for archives I would suggest to use these excerpt feature of WordPress. You can write a 2 sentence telling the brief description of your post. So after about 386 post in the archives it is only now that I will implement this in my future blog post.

WordPress Excerpt should be eye catching that will give your reader an idea of what you are talking about. So are you using Post excerpt before ? any additional Tips ?

The Related Plug-in Post is called Aizatto’s Related Posts it returns a list of the related entries based on active/passive keyword matches. Inspired by Related Posts  By  Ezwan Aizat Bin Abdullah Faiz.

It can give you the following options, which I believed is very good specially it can post the excerpt of the related post. In which you cannot see in other related plug-Ins. Below are the options you could make.

How many related posts would you like to show?:

Limit number of words in Title:

Show excerpt?

Number of excerpts to show

Excerpt length (No. of characters):

Show only on the post’s page?

Show related posts on pages?

Show in RSS feeds?

Show posts that were posted after the main post was posted ?

Automatically Insert  ?

And if your are adept in CSS you can even change the CSS. Below is the snap shot on what you can see at the footer of your post page.

How this Help You gain more reader?

By this kind of plug-in you re giving your reader a glimpse on what you have posted in the past or present. The trick is your first sentence should always be catchy so that when somebody read it in the related post it may get their attention and click it.

So that’s it.. I think it works since as per my Google Analytics, I have an average of 2.5 Page per Visit, Which good at this stage.

I am running a WordPress 2.2 version and I have not yet tested this in WordPress 2.3 ” Dexter”. The reality is I am new to WordPress and I am still learning it.

In conclusion I am very much satisfied with the result of this Plug-ins and so a big Thanks to the Ezwan Aizat Bin Abdullah Faiz.

It is a sad news from itp.net to our friends based in Dubai Free Zone since After January 30, users based in Dubai Free Zone and Emaar properties will not be able to call phone lines from their PCs via services such as Skype. An excerpt of the news is copied below from here . I do hope Philippines will not follow the same with Dubai.

DIC Telecom to follow Etisalat’s VoIP blocking lead
by Matthew Wade

After January 30, users based in Dubai Free Zone and Emaar properties will not be able to call phone lines from their PCs via services such as Skype.

The telco provider that supplies internet services to users based in Dubai’s Free Zone and Emaar residential buildings, DIC Telecom, will block voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone calls from the end of this month.
The move, briefly outlined in an SMS message to customers yesterday, is being made in order to comply with the UAE regulator’s instructions.
The full text of the SMS sent reads: “As per TRA instructions, starting Jan 07 we will prevent the ability to make PC to phone internet VoIP calls. For queries, call Customer Care on 04 390 5555.”

“Meta” means beyond, more comprehensive, or more highly organized, and with respect to other dictionaries and glossaries, MetaGlossary is all these things. MetaGlossary harvests definitions from the entire web, the world’s largest, constantly-updated repository of information. Hence, it surpasses traditional dictionaries, which grow more out of date with each passing day. MetaGlossary is as dynamic as the web, offering the most current information out there on the most contemporary topics.

However, unlike other search engines, MetaGlossary is able to precisely extract the meanings of terms and phrases from the often frustratingly unmanageable mass of information on the web. It provides you with concise, direct explanations for terms and phrases, not just endless links to sift through in search of a comprehensive definition.

What’s more, MetaGlossary organizes these meanings based on topic and usage, so you’ll find the one you’re looking for quickly and easily. Since MetaGlossary spans the expanse of the web, even your most field-specific requests for terms, phrases, acronyms, technical jargon, and slang, will be successfully met.

When I try this site it gives good information for research since it also shows the website where it gets the meaning of the words. Try it and tell me what is the result. It’s a good resource for my kids.
