Wordpress Theme 10 Checks to Perfection

Yep, he’s done it again. Joost having only just returned from matrimonial bliss has come up with 10 checks to a perfect wordpress theme. If setting up the perfect Wordpress blog tickles your fancy you better check out the JOOST. Joost as always methodically goes through necessary coding techniques and widgets to make even a beginner well versed in SEO for Wordpress concepts.

Joost Wordpress Breadcrumbs Plugin

Sorry, I forgot to Blog this the other day. Our Dutch geek Wordpress collegue Joost once again pushes the realms of Wordpress possibilities with the improved Wordpress Breadcrumbs Plugin. As usual Joost responds directly to feedback from previous versions with improvements to the plugin allowing breadcrumbs to be added to the theme.

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
	yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
} ?>

                    

Wordpress Hosting

Wordpress Hosting recommended by Wordpress

I kinda just had a big argument with a client and I need to vent a little, after setting up a blog on Pair.com on my reseller account, the client rings me and asks which preferred wordpress hosting company did I chose. I asked “what did he mean2 and he pointed me to the wordpress hosting page, at which I laughed out loud.. yep a proper belly laugh, I told him that’s not a recommended list it’s an affiliate list they earn money from those links..

This is where the argument started I pointed out that “some will donate a portion of your fee back—so you can have a great host and support WordPress at the same time.“, It’s basically an affiliate deal, but the client knows best,and wants me to sign up to the host and setup the blog, I say ok, but it’s going to cost another $100 time and effort, or he can set it up and ftp the the site for free… which is what he decided to do.. I’m not going to name the host he went with, but guess what ? it all went wrong and now it’s my fault because it was my idea to use wordpress !! now they want to look at drupal.. I said good luck! and that he should complain to wordpress that their Wordpress Hosting deals aren’t that good !

Joost is Dead

Panic not, our favourite Dutch Wordpress geek is very much still alive and active in the SEO community. So much so in-fact he has made great headway with an all new blog experience. A re-design, a .com move, name change and entire re-direct. Meet Yoast.com.

DaveN first introduced me to Joost de Valk some time ago, I’m really glad he did. A fountain of knowledge on Wordpress and a genuinely nice SEO make this dutch man worth knowing.

We applaud the all new Yoast experience with well thought out homepage, SEO tools and a much cleaner template. Why not get sociable with the Dutch website tweaker ?
