Using Windows Live Writer to Publish this Post
Well I am still learning to use WordPress. Countless wordpress plug-ins checked and still installed in my Blog. Still not satisfied with the setup of my Blog. Though the theme seems to look good but at times its just plain. I need something useful and flashy things on my Blog. Things that when visitors see they just say “Wow !” Anyways lets get to the point. I was actually really tired of going in WP-Admin panel and posting the post from there. So I was looking for some tool which can do it from Desktop. And Voila look what I found. I have actually found a windows based free tool which can be used to blog directly from your desktop. The best thing is that it can be done while you are offline. So its really handy I must say. I don’t really have a mobile internet connection and I spend a lot of time travelling everyday, around 3-4 hours so it will really come handy in that. I am just checking how the post will look like. Basically I am just using the software and will give you the review of Live Writer once I have used it.
Till then Bye and I am really missing Google
How to : Display Related Posts in Vigilance Theme WordPress
I have been fiddling around with the newly installed theme Vigilance. There is a cost involved to it if I wanna take some help from the Theme Author. But at this point in time I can not afford it. So I thought of doing it on my own. There are number of modifications done on this theme. I am not even able to remember it. I am just a part time coder so there is a very good chance that I might forget what I did to make that thing work.
I will soon publish the list of modifications done in Vigilance Theme. As of now I am posting how to display Related Posts on a page. You can laugh if I tell you the purpose of posting it here. I wanted to make sure that even if I forget what I did it stays here on my Blog and I can refer to that later on. And it might be help to others as well.
So here is what you need to do:
- Open single.php and find
< ?php comments_template(”, true); ?>
- Now paste the following code before the above code.
- Link to the code as it was creating some problem with the post.
