WordPress Swag Giveaway

25 Sep

It has been a long time since I have done a giveaway. The last one I did was back before I did a full refocus on Blondish.net- at the end of 2008. This giveaway is all WordPress related. Yep, you heard it… all WordPress goodness!

Why? Because I can… lol. Well, that and that I find that I am a WordPress advocate. I have converted and taught a lot of people… nearly in the thousands according to web stats over the past 8 years.

However, I want this to be a fun giveaway, so, without further ado, here are the prizes and how to enter, and even get extra entries to get in. There are several different packages to win.

On Installing And Uninstalling Plugins

06 Feb

I have noticed a lot of plugins over the years lack the ability to totally uninstall files. What I mean by totally uninstalling is that when you use your WordPress admin panel to delete the files, it does not always take away the database tables that were installed in the beginning.

If hacked, this can run up your resources and suspend, or with some webhosts, they may ask you to upgrade or say they cannot host you.

Two Ways to Retrieve Your WordPress Password

23 Nov

WordPress Tutorial: Sometimes you forget. You might find it annoying, but when there are so many things to do and remember on a daily basis, some things slide through your mind and out your ear, like perhaps your password to log into you admin panel for WordPress. This article will explain three ways for you to be able to retrieve your password, especially if you have a self-hosted WordPress blog.

There are other questionable ways, but until those can be worked out with the most current version of WordPress, I will not list them. As a sidenote, you should try to put your admin username and password in a safe place. I recommend keeping some type of small ‘book’ where you keep your login information.
