Thanks.:grin: </p> <p>I'm researching everything you mentioned, such as WordPress automatic upgrade and the All-In-One SEO Package.</p> <p>I'll be starting on it next week - will update you as to how I get on.</p> <p>I'm <strong>so</strong> glad I was one of the competition winners, this has made me all enthusiastic :idea: about the technical side of my site again. </p> http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/topic/blog-of-scatterbrain-reviewed#post-56 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:05:13 +0000 mayank 56@http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/ <p>@Ikki - I'm glad that you guys are finding the review beneficial.</p> <p>@Scatterbrain - </p> <p>Upgrade the wordpress version - You just need to upload the Wordpress automatic upgrade plugin (if at all you can do that) and it does the rest, you don't have to worry about anything.</p> <p>Pretty permalinks - I'll suggest you to simply create another.htaccess (blank file) and then upload it and do that again :) Else you can also do one thing -&gt; when you try generate the permalink and it fails to update the htaccess file, it gives you the htaccess code, you paste that in a text file, name it htaccess.txt and upload it and then simply rename it to .htaccess :)</p> <p>Enlarging text - Well, good luck with your course :)</p> <p>Rest of the stuff - I'm sure once you'll go ahead with all the suggestions, you'll see amazing improvement in traffic (although, it will take it's time..don't expect anything over night). </p> http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/topic/blog-of-scatterbrain-reviewed#post-52 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:37:15 +0000 scatterbrain 52@http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, but first I need to change my server host - then upgrade my version of WordPress. </p> http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/topic/blog-of-scatterbrain-reviewed#post-51 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:35:24 +0000 Ikki 51@http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/ <p>I think that All-In-One SEO Pack will help you a lot on SEOing your blog. I also read Mayank's review and I also believe you need it.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/topic/blog-of-scatterbrain-reviewed#post-50 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:50:05 +0000 scatterbrain 50@http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/ <p>I've noted all the improvements that you kindly recommended Mayank. Thanks for reviewing my blog. I'd like to respond to a couple of points:-</p> <p><strong>Upgrade WordPress Version</strong> - I'm eager to do this. My blog is hosted by my brother-in-laws (for free) server which runs on the Debian operating system that uses *packages* to install and upgrade software. My version (2.0.12-alpha) is the latest Debian-Stable package - and I know it is very old. Obviously, I'm looking at alternative UK hosting servers and hope to upgrade very soon.</p> <p><strong>Pretty Permalinks</strong> When I tried to customise my Permalinks, I sent the plugin (htaccess file) to the wrong folder and crashed my site. (My nickname is Scatterbrain for a reason):lol:</p> <p>As mentioned, I'm going on an Adobe Dreamweaver course on 27th September - so I should be able to make a start the improvements after that.</p> <p>The same goes for <strong>Enlarging Text Size</strong>.</p> <p>As for the rest of the points - I'm ignorant about them all,:???: but will endeavour to learn about them and ensure I get all the relevant plugins.</p> <p>Your review has given me the necessary impetus (read kick up the backside) I needed to start me optimising my site. </p> http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/topic/blog-of-scatterbrain-reviewed#post-47 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:32:30 +0000 mayank 47@http://blogdesignstudio.com/forums/ <p>Hey Guys,</p> <p>Our first review of the blog review series is live and I hope that it will help everyone.
