A clean Blog – looks better

deepak

I have linked my Twitter account to my blog and whenever I tweet, it shows up as a post here. Earlier I thought it is cool as I can now update the blog through Twitter. However, I realized that the posts aren’t under my control and I have to log in here to modify the post-titles and stuff like that.

And I felt that the home page was always cluttered. Today, I took the decision to remove Twitter updates from my homepage. But I had a problem. These tweets are under a separate category. I don’t wanna unlink them. I just don’t want those tweets in my Home Page. After searching through WordPress docs, I came across this wonderful plugin -“Advanced Category Excluder“.

All I did was install the plugin, then in the plugin settings, removed off the ‘twitter’ category from showing up on my homepage…

Presto…. a clean home page …

🙂

How can you not enter your website here?

I was playing around with my new android phone & as usual was inside the Android marketplace. I noticed Calvin’s app there and went inside to install it.

Once done with the installation, I noticed that there is no website listed under the developer’s details. This app has been downloaded more than 250k times.

What a waste of screenplace real-estate. The developer had left the website as the default one, which is example.com. Am thinking how much traffic us lost to his potential website. Hmm

I think I will drop him a line about this. Let’s see how this goes.

P.s. this post entirely written using my new HTC desire.
