Being Programmer I like NetBeans so much. Every programmer has his own choice of IDEs But I like the NetBeans so much for PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, javascript Development.

NetBeans does not have any good think for wordpress still I do development in Netbeans. I know every wordpress developers first choice is Dreamweaver. I also used Dreamweaver for so many times. I can personally say Dreamweaver is really good tool for Web Designer. If you are having advanced knowledge of dreamweaver then you can develop any site in any language.

Dreamweaver is first choice for web designers. Here in this article I am going to talk about the best IDE for wordpress development.

Adobe DreamWeaver CS5

For WordPress development Dereamweaver is really great tool. You need to watch this video.

Dreamweaver is ever made IDE for wordpress development.

Netbeans

What I like about Netbeans is that is free. every update you got that is free. WordPress made in PHP and you will great support for PHP in netbeans. What you want more.  Only think I did not like about Netbeans is that is very slow on windows and linux also.

Eclipse

Eclipse is another IDE which is very popular among the programmers. I used eclipse for years. I like that so much. Eclipse has no support for wordpress but it has good support for PHP. So I like eclipse also.

Many times adding the custom pagination in wordpress blog is very important. In this article I will show you how to add the simple pagination in wordpress.

You need to open the your index.php file from wordpress theme and put following code in that file.

<div class="navigation">
  <div class="alignleft"><? next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous') ?>
  </div>
  <div class="alignright"><? previous_posts_link('Next') ?>
  </div>
</div>

If you want the pagination in single post then you can use the following code:

<?php next_posts_link($label , $max_pages); ?>
<?php prev_posts_link($label , $max_pages); ?>

There are some very nice wordpress plugin available for wordpress pagination.
WP-PageNavi

PageNavi wordpress plugin is really nice. I personally like this plugin so much. With this plugin you can apply your custom css also.

Changing the CSS

If you need to configure the CSS style of WP-PageNavi, you can copy the pagenavi-css.css file from the plugin directory to your theme’s directory and make your modifications there. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update the plugin.

Alternatively, you can uncheck the “Use pagenavi.css?” option from the settings page and add the styles to your theme’s style.css file directly.

Some time we need to execute and use the php code in wordpress post and page. There is solution for inserting the php code in to wordpress post.

I found very useful wordpress plugin for that. But my advise is don’t use this plugin ever try to put your php code as possible in wordpress theme.

Exec-PHP

The Exec-PHP plugin executes PHP code in posts, pages and text widgets.

Features:

• Executes PHP code in the excerpt and the content portion of your posts and pages
• Configurable execution of PHP code in text widgets (for WordPress 2.2 or higher)
• Write PHP code in familiar syntax, eg. <?php ... ?>
• Works in your newsfeeds
• Information about which users are allowed to execute PHP with the current security settings (for WordPress 2.1 or higher)
• Configurable user warnings for inappropriate blog and user settings (for WordPress 2.1 or higher)
• Restrict execution of PHP code in posts and pages to certain users by using roles and capabilities
• Update notifications through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress if a new version of the Exec-PHP plugin is available (for WordPress 2.3 or higher)
• Internationalization support (english and german included, many more available)
• Comes with documentation

Inline PHP

The plugin can execute php string in posts/pages, and display the output as the contents of posts/pages. Just quote what you want to execute in <exec>...</exec> or [exec]...[/exec] tag.

You can put the php code in post following way.

<exec>
       $filestr = file_get_contents('http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.html');
       if (preg_match('/<p>.*<\/p>/ums', $filestr, $matches)){
           echo str_replace("<p><a href=\"#page-rank-update-list-history\">Top of Page Rank Update List History</a></p>", "", str_replace("<table width=\"65%\">", "<table width=\"100%\">", $matches[0]));
       }
   </exec>

When ever we write some code in post. That code need to visible very easily. There are some useful wordpress plugins for highlighting the code in wordpress post.

While WordPress.com doesn’t allow you to use potentially dangerous code on your blog, there is a way to post source code for viewing. We have created a shortcode you can wrap around source code that preserves its formatting and even provides syntax highlighting for certain languages, like so:

To accomplish the above, just wrap your code in these tags:

 your code here
 

The language parameter controls how the code is syntax highlighted. The following languages are supported:

• actionscript3
• bash
• coldfusion
• cpp
• csharp
• css
• delphi
• erlang
• fsharp
• diff
• groovy
• javascript
• java
• javafx
• matlab (keywords only)
• objc
• perl
• php
• text
• powershell
• python
• ruby
• scala
• sql
• vb
• xml

If the language parameter is not set, it will default to “text” (no syntax highlighting).

Code in between the source code tags will automatically be encoded for display, you don’t need to worry about HTML entities or anything.

There are some free plugins also helpful for syntax highlighting.  I specially like the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved wordpress plugin. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved allows you to easily post syntax-highlighted code to your site without loosing it’s formatting or making any manual changes.

You can download this plugin form here:

SyntaxHighlighter Evolved

There is another plugin for syntax highlighting which also really nice.

WP-Syntax provides clean syntax highlighting using GeSHi — supporting a wide range of popular languages. It supports highlighting with or without line numbers and maintains formatting while copying snippets of code from the browser.

It avoids conflicts with other 3rd party plugins by running an early pre-filter and a late post-filter that substitutes and pulls the code snippets out first and then pushes them back in with highlighting at the end. The result is source code formatted and highlighted the way you intended.

You can download the this from here:

WP-Syntax

Today WordPress released the WordPress 3.0.1 version. You can download latest wordpress from follwoing link

http://wordpress.org/download/

This maintenance release addresses about 50 minor issues. The testing many of you contributed prior to the release of 3.0 helped make it one of the best and most stable releases we’ve had.

Download 3.0.1 or update automatically from the Dashboard > Updates menu in your site’s admin area.

The latest stable release of WordPress (Version 3.0.1) is available in two formats from the links to your right. If you have no idea what to do with this download, we recommend signing up with one of our web hosting partners that offers a one click install of WordPress or getting a free account on WordPress.com.

Note: If you downloaded 3.0.1 in the first 20 minutes of release (before 2200 UTC), you’ll want to reinstall it, which you can do right from your Updates screen.

Many people needs to keep eye on how much data they transfer on Mac, although they are using unlimited internet connection.

Its ok you are using unlimited internet connection but its not enough.

Here we recommended some utilities, by following these you can make this process very easy. These utilities can surely help you to remain within your allocated usage. It can also help you to avoid any expensive charges.

Surplus Meter

Surplus Meter is most useful application. This is designed with a goal in mind to monitor your broadband usage. I searched many but others kept me on roundabout way of usage.

Surplus Meter will start to tracking your use after you specify on which day of month your internet plan & your monthly download cap starts. A progressbar slowly fills up how much data you are using and feedback is given both in table.

It’s specific, clever and its completely free.

Price: Free
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later

…………………………………………………………………………..

iStat Menus

iStat Menus is excellent application which designed by talented folks at Bjango. This app is capable of monitoring almost every aspect of your system. It also handles bandwidth usage tracking very well.

It only shows that how mane data transferred since you last turned on your Mac. This is OK in many cases, but not OK if you are regularly turn on and off your computer.

The most useful thing of iStat Menus that data transfer is shown separately for each of different devices. The downside of this is that you can see only information of devices currently in use. You won’t see how much data has been transferred if internet cable isn’t connected.

Price: $16
Requirements: OS X 10.5, 10.6 or newer required.

…………………………………………………………………………..

Net monitor

Net Monitor has a wide range of features. You can visualize your network traffic, log your network activity, create history reports, and calculate traffic over time.

In Net Monitor you can specify certain dates between which you’d like to view a report of data usage, which make it very flexible to fit your personal broadband package. This is similar to the free Surplus Meter but it has few more advanced options for the technically inclined.

You can try a free demo of it. I want to suggest here if you are paying for this type of application then you can go with iStat Menus due to extra functionality in other areas.

Price: $10
Requirements: OS X 10.4 or Later

…………………………………………………………………………..

Many times we thought If we put multiple ad units on single web then we can generate more revenue from google Ads. But that is not true because If we put multiple Ad units on single webpage then google never serve Ads for all Ad unit.

There is limitation from google side. Publishers can only place the three AdSense for content units on one webpage. You may also place a maximum of three link units and two search boxes on each webpage. Means you can put the three link ads and three content ads and two search box on single web page.

If you place more than three ad unit on a single webpage,  google will display unique ads to each ad unit. Because google system automatically displays an optimal number of highly targeted Google ads on each page.

Here’re some tips to help you in increasing the traffic of your website. Just follow them and get amazing result.

1. Social bookmark every pages!

Bookmark each page of your site and each blog entry you post. While this might seem tedious, it’s worth it. You’ll see a strong increase in traffic if you social bookmark each page on your site and each of your blog entries.

2. Speaking of your email signature line

Believe it or not, people do follow your email signature links. You’ll be amazed how many folks read email signature lines.

3. Start a blog

Start a blog and then once you do, start commenting on other people’s blogs, linking to them from your site or adding them to your blogroll.

4. Make sure your blog has an RSS feed

Make sure your blog has an RSS feed so if you capture a reader you don’t lose them if they forget to bookmark your site or blog.

5. Join in forums

Join in forums that has contents relevant to your website category and keep creating new threads and replying to other threads. Don’t ever forget to add your site’s link in your signature. Also try to make it attractive by using larger fonts and colors. You will be amazed of the traffic.

6. Offer a freebie

Offer something for free that worth some $$$. That can be a free tutorial, an icon set, wordpress themes etc.

7. Offer a help

you can be an answer person at Yahoo Answers – you don’t have to spend hours on there, but maybe a few minutes a week. Make sure and include a link back to your site following your answers.

8. Set up a social networking site using Facebook, Twitter

It’s free and easy to do, just don’t forget the all-important link back to your site!

9. List yourself in the best directories

You’ll have to pay for this but since most people don’t do this (since everyone’s looking for a freebie) you could really enhance your traffic by getting a listing: dir dot yahoo dot com, business dot org, botw dot org.

10. Inbound links

Don’t waste your time on smaller low-traffic sites. Instead spend your time going after high traffic, high quality sites. Good sites should have a page ranking of 4-6 depending on the market. You can find out what a site’s page ranking is by downloading the Google toolbar which comes with a PR feature built in.

I hope these all points will be useful for you to increase the traffic of your website.

Social networking over laptops at the workplace increased by 14 per cent in Germany, while it jumped by 10 per cent in the US.

In 2010, 29 per cent of laptop users versus 18 per cent of desktop users surveyed said they frequented these sites at work.

For all the countries surveyed this year, laptop users who can connect to the Internet outside of the company network are more likely to share confidential information via instant messenger, web mail and social media applications than those who are always connected to a company’s network.

The percentage of employees visiting social networking sites at the workplace globally rose to 24 per cent this year from just 18 per cent in 2008, even as more companies are restricting access to such websites, a survey said.

According to a survey by global Internet content security provider Trend Micro, employees are finding ways around security roadblocks to make social networking an integral part of office-life around the world.

Social networking at workplaces globally has “steadily risen” to 24 per cent in 2010 from 19 per cent in 2008, the survey of over 1,600 full-time workers at various firms in the US, UK, Germany and Japan, revealed.

The largest increase in social networking over corporate Internet connections during the last two years was among employees in Germany, which saw a more than 10 per cent jump, and the UK, with a six per cent rise.

The survey also found that laptop users are much more likely than desktop users to visit social networking sites.

Globally, social networking usage via laptops went up by eight per cent from 2008 to 2010, the report stated.
