NiharsWorld turns 2!

NiharsWorld turns 2!

Happy Birthday to NiharsWorld

An eventful year has passed by. Many events that reflect a myriad hues of the universe. Change of guard in the White House, eventful celestial events like solar eclipse and the geo-climatic changes. And lo! 2009 ends with a lunar eclipse.

But for us, the surfers it is all in a nutshell. We at Nihar’s World have been trying to keep abreast.

And all we say as we complete two years is ‘Let us explore more and let us enjoy more the marvels of modern technology… the internet.

The world is shrinking and is a global village already. Let us make it a global family.
So looking forward to your continued interest as we march together…..

As a part of 2nd Anniversary, I am going to give three weekly advertising slots for free to the first three commentators of this post.(Three slots are already filled up by first three commentators)

To claim the gift:

  • Just leave a comment with your correct email id in the Mail text box.
  • I will contact you via email asking you the 125X125 image location along with your website address

Thank you for all your participation.

And lets keep rocking!

Both Newsgator and FeedDemon synchronize feeds so, that both are in sync.

Blog slowed down after upgrading to Wordpress 2.8

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Today, i upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.8. The upgradation went fine without any problems.

Wordpress 2.8

Wordpress 2.8

But after upgrading, I felt that the Dashboard and wordpress admin pages were loading very slow. Each page was taking 5-10 seconds to load.

I then opened the blog and tried browsing some posts. There was the same effect. The blog was slow.

It was for sure that Blog slowed down due to Wordpress 2.8 Upgrade. My first suspect was to check the plugins. There are 40+ plugins that i use. I was sure that this is due to some plugin which may not be supporting Wordpress 2.8.

I went to Plugin page and disabled all plugins at one go and saw the pages started loading faster.

I then started enabling plugins one by one and then I found the culprit plugin that slowed down the blog post upgrading to Wordpress 2.8 :) .

The plugin was Performancing Ads plugin. I disabled the plugin, jumped to Performancing Ads and got the javascript code to display 125X125 Ad on the sidebar.

I was surprised and was also upset on myself to see that i was using a plugin instead of placing just a one liner javascript to display the ad :(

The problem was solved.

Did you guys find any problem? If yes do leave a comment about the problem and the plugin that caused the problem after upgrading to Wordpress 2.8. I am sure that this will be of help to all those who have faced problems after upgrading to Wordpress 2.8

If you are new to Performancing Ads, Then Try joining Performancing Ads

Jonny from Jonnys Blog left a comment few days back on my Previous Post Broken Links Remover – A must Wordpress Plugin. He mentioned a freeware tool that can check all the broken links of any website. I took a look at that freeware software. It is a great tool to use for all the webmasters.

Xenu’s Link Sleuth is a freeware tool to check Broken Links of your website. It uses multi-threading to scan broken links. Hence, it is very fast compared to any other link checking software. Given the URL of the website, It can come up with all the broken links withe the details like title, type, size etc. It does all this pretty quickly.

How to use Xenu’s Link Sleuth

  1. Download and install the program
  2. Run the program and enter the URL of the website which you want to check
  3. Now it will check for all links like normal links, images, backgrounds, style sheets, scripts and java applets.
