WordPress 2.2: Getz Is Good »
Written by Zain on May 17th, 2007{ Add Comment }
I’ve just installed WordPress 2.2 aka Getz (after Stan Getz). Basically as a test to see if there’d be any issues with the various WordPress plugins that I’m currently using or looking to use.
And Getz is Good. So far.
Am I running it on this site. Don’t be silly - personally, I like to try things out and make sure they’re okay instead of doing something crazy. The last time I did that, I lost my WordPress Theme. Won’t be making that mistake again!
WordPress 2.2 (”Getz”): Widgets & Cleaning Drains »
Written by Zain on May 16th, 2007{ 3 comments }
I spent 15 minutes this morning clearing my drain. Not good. Especially when the little yellow rubber gloves are too short and you have to reach down past your elbow to clear out the blockage. I mean, we’ve all been there haven’t we… er… oh, just me then?
Fat, grease, hair, tuna pieces and Lord knows what else. With my face down two inches from the floor, arm covered in sludge, trying not to breathe in the stench coming from below… I’d love to tell you I had an epiphany of some sort. No such luck.
I spent another 15 minutes showering. Just my arm. Isn’t it weird how, no matter how much hot water or disinfectant you use, your brain can defy logic and just scream “UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN!!!”.
So. What’s this got to do with the release of the new WordPress “Getz” (version 2.2)? Let’s see how I get out of this one… Thankfully I know about “reframing” things - something you learn when go for NLP training

Making WordPress FAQ-Tastic »
Written by Admin on April 19th, 2007{ Add Comment }
FAQ-Tastic is a simple WordPress FAQ plugin. When I first had the idea for it, I didn’t realise that it would be popular and get an excellent review by Michel Fortin. It was simply aimed to fill a gap in the WordPress plugin market while also helping Internet Marketers create authority sites using WordPress.
The idea originally came about from some work I have recently been doing to help promote an NLP Training company. Having studied a little about search engine optimisation (admittedly, I am still a newbie in this SEO game!), the general message I was starting to understand was that search engines love sites that are “authorities” in a specific niche.
Thinking about how to create authority sites, I began researching and experimenting with simple solutions using WordPress and various plugins. It was at this point that I began looking for an FAQ plugin.
The thing that surprised me was the lack of WordPress FAQ plugins. Until the release of FAQ-Tastic, there was only 1 FAQ plugin for WordPress available - the WordPress FAQ plugin by VaamYob. Looking at various posts, it was obvious that there wasn’t any choice about the plugin to use even though people wanted more choice about the FAQ functionality for their WordPress sites.
The need for a good plugin was apparent. The time was right to create a new FAQ plugin but it still wasn’t the over-riding factor that made me choose to build FAQ-Tastic…
