How to feel frustrated reading blogs

Posted under Blogging

Never try this at home.

Subscribe to a number of high volume blog sites and try to finish reading. You will be never able to finish and the frustration will hit you.

Every day these sites try to stuff you more than 30 entries. If you have left the RSS reader a couple of days, you probably need to check them off as read or do a quick scan of it. Using google reader is recommended as you can quickly scan them. However, you will find reading is no longer fun and you may end up with unsubscribing such blog sites to get the peace of mind…

If you are a blog site owners reading this, you may consider how you can help relieve the stress of your subscribers by limiting number of post per day (5 posts per day can be much better than 30) or provide category feeds for subscription or you may lose quite a number of frustrated subscribers like me.

The wordpress plug-in you must install!

Posted under Blogging

1ClickInstaller is simply awesome! After installing this plug-in, you will no longer need to use ftp to upload a new theme or another plug-in again! It will add a “OneClickInstall” button in your dashboard page and you will be able to upload the plug-ins or themes right in your browser. Or you can even provide the download link or the plug-in to let the server download the zip files itself! What’s more you can use the Firefox extension (optional) from the same author to make your life even simplier!

 Whenever you have a new theme or new plug-in to try, you will never want to decompress the files and use ftp to upload the files again. :)
