Emergency code
Written by: GiWho to call in case of website emergency?
Due to some yet unknown issue, Wordpress version 2.8.2 might be causing server errors.
Lunarpages, my “current” and might become “ex” webhosting company, shut down Gibni.com yesterday without any prior notice, saying they’ve taken an emergency action, as the “index.php” script in my wordpress root was using huge server resources, and could cause a server crash.
First problem is, not only they changed the “index.php” permissions to “000″ (no read permissions) but they took ownership of the file, so neither I could make any changes to the file, nor analyze it for troubleshooting.
Secondly, they made the domain return an “internal server error” to all visitors.
Making money online, avoiding the scams
Written by: GiMaking money online…
Making money online is one of the most researched topics for many of web developpers, bloggers and website owners. It takes a lot of efforts to produce quality content and get enough traffic, to be able to rank better in search results and improve your different ranking factors. After a while of being online, website owners will get advertising offers from different companies, which might be interesting at first.
Well, this is a good sign, as it means that your site is getting some interest and attention; but it’s also an alert, warning you to be cautious.
There are lots of scams out there, which try to fool you by offering great business opportunities and make you run some ads or malicious scripts on your website. They (the scammers) will try to get detailed information about you, your website, personal details and even your bank account(s).

What is RSS?
Written by: GiHave you ever asked yourself about the orange button like this one:
which you see on a lot of websites these days?
Ever heard of the word RSS? I bet you’ve been invited many times by website owners and bloggers to “Subscribe” to their “feeds”! And you asked yourself “What is (s)he talking about!?”
So I’ve decided to put up a video which explains RSS and subscribtion in pictures! This is a very easy to understand and friendly movie clip.
The movie is created by CommonCraft . Checking up their website, I was amazed that only two people are working in this company and they do such a great work! They work from home it seems, and they worked for big companies like Microsoft and Google. There are lots of interesting videos and the website looking very friendly! Just watch this movie on RSS and you’ll love it!
Google Pagerank Dropped! How to solve the issue?
Written by: Gi
Back in mid-October 2008, Gibni’s page rank dropped suddenly from 2 to 0! I was little bit confused about how this happened! Anyway, as a new web developer, I had a lot to learn still! I did a lot of research on the topic, and found out that the main problem are the ‘outgoing links’ on my pages! Even if these links were to websites I knew most of them, Google did not appreciate all of them. At start, I decided to forget about the PageRank stuff and keep working on my site. My Alexa ranking was continuously improving and I could sell ads as well as before. So there was no need to worry! Even my pageviews doubled after a while!
I was in the process of optimizing my site that this pagerank drop happened. Once I finished my work, I went on checking all those links and decided to put a NOFOLLOW rel tag to almost all outgoing links on my site. Some of you may not approve this, but I believe that NoFollow is a good thing when it comes to improving the Internet content quality, mostly from search engines point of view.
Once I solved the rel tag issue for my links, I asked Google for ‘reconsideration’, explaining them that I was still learning and now I am aware of their quality guidelines, and I fixed the issues on my site. This was one month after the PageRank Drop!
Two or three days later, my PageRank went back to 2 again! I was surprised that this happened so fast!
Anyway, if you experience a PageRank drop, fix issues that might be in your pages by following Google’s Quality Guidelines from the “Webmaster Tools” service in Google, and then, submit your website for reconsidertion.
3D Tag Cloud For Wordpress
Written by: GiI’ve recently installed a new Tag Cloud on Gibni.com, If you look well, you should already have noticed it.
It’s a 3D Sphere tag cloud! it’s based on a flash file but the real knowledge behind makes it completely search engine friendly. This is basically a plugin called WP-CUMULUS made by Roy Tanck. The Plugin is hosted now on Wordpress.org -> Plugin’s page.
I found this very exciting and as it does not interfere with search engine friendliness factors, I decided to add it to my new theme. I would recommend it as a good plugin as you can really customize it.
The theme that Roy has got on his blog is really well designed and is easy to navigate too! Good job Roy, Keep up the good work!
As you might have already heard there are some serious stuff going on and everyone in the world started to panic about their financial situation.
Well, now the question is that what is really going on and why should you continue to read on? Let me tell you that many HUGE banks around the world are going bankrupt, and governments are trying to help them out. This might sound OK to you, but it shouldn’t because that means everything gonna change very shortly, like a lot of small companies and also big ones might disappear in the months to come, many poor countries will become extremely poor and in trouble, and that might start civil wars, and also governments will start to tax you like they’ve never had!
I’m always an optimist person but this time, after all i saw and all that specialists say, there will be a lot of problems. Some say that China’s plan in this financial crisis is that it will wait until everything gets collapsed and then it will inject huge amounts of money in the market and ask for many things, that is China will become the owner of the world. That doesn’t look scary at all to you; I suppose; but it should!
Well, now let’s talk about what does it have to do with bloggers and internet people? The question is “Will the international financial crisis affect your website or blog income?”
Basically the income of many blogs and websites depend on the advertisers and sponsors, and some of it on the products they sell, if any.
Now if small companies and markets start to go astray, who will pay the website owner and blogger?

Dropcap First Letter, Universal Version
Written by: GiAs you can see on Gibni.com, articles’ title have got a drop capped first letter.
I’m making this technique available to the public so that you can “Drop cap” any text you wish.
You can drop cap in Wordpress or on any other platform where you can run PHP functions.
I’ll explain on how to Drop cap in Wordpress without installing any plugin.
I’ll keep it simple; just open the “functions.php” file in your theme directory, and add this function to it:
—Code—Functions.php—
function dropcap_first($content) {
$pos = strpos($content, ‘<a>’);
/* stripos is only available in new PHP versions we’ll */
/* live with using the case sensitive version so it won’t match <A> */
/* $pos = stripos($content, ‘<a>’); */
if (($pos !== 0) || ($pos === false)) {
echo ‘<p class=”dropcap-first”><a href=”‘.get_permalink().’” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to ‘.the_title_attribute(‘echo=0′).’”‘. $content .’</a></p>’;
} else {
echo ‘<p class=”dropcap-first”><a href=”‘.get_permalink().’” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to ‘.the_title_attribute(‘echo=0′).’”‘ . stristr($content, ‘>’).’</p>’;
}
}
Recieving My First Google Adsense Payout!
Written by: Gi
I finally recieved my first Google Adsense Payout! It’s my first payout on the internet! This encouages me to do better and try to write more useful articles and build better websites and blogs.
Now I can confirm you that “IT WORKS”! This is to let all new bloggers and website owners know that THEY CAN MAKE MONEY ONLINE! You have just to build good content and monetize your pages to the best, and the most important is to be patient and try until you get to it!
It took me a long time to get the first payout because I am very busy with my studies at the university and I don’t get enough time to work on the internet, but now that my websites started to produce income, I know that the process will continue; this motivates me to pay more attention to this work.
Well, what I learn is that the best and the more Read more
Wordpress… To The Core!
Written by: Gi
Back from vacations, it’s been a long time since I’ve written my latest article.
As some of you might know, I’m actually working on a new theme design for Gibni, which is supposed to be much more faster and Search Engine Optimized than the current theme (Prince Blog Theme I).
Good to know that the present online theme gets a 97% SEO Score! And it takes almost 10 seconds to load on a medium speed connection for the first time you visit the site and less than 4 seconds to load in the next visits.
I got some news about the next theme! I’m working on a “Featured Articles” carousel, which will get the most visited articles on the top of the first page. To make that possible, I’ve gone deep inside wordpress, and I edited the core! Now, with a standard wordpress query, I can get the posts ordered by their views count.
This is very useful when you cannot find a plugin which does this job neatly and fastly.
