How to Protect your blog content from getting copied

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Every day there are number of blogs coming up on the web. With this increase in number of blogs, there is also a increase in “Copy Cats” who simply copy our content without our permission and without attribution.

The question is How do you Protect your Blog content from getting copied?

Below is one of the solution.

My friend Chetan from TheChetan.com has developed his first ever Wordpress Plugin called WP-CopyProtect.

This is just a basic copy protect plug-in which stops the Copy Cat from copying the content. But, if someone want to copy your content he/she can go to source of the blog and can easily copy the stuff from there.

The plugin Disables Right Click and Disables Test Selection on a Wordpress Blog with this plugin installed!

I recommend you all to visit Chetan’s Blog and Download WP-CopyProtect Wordpress Plugin.

I am very happy to see that he has developed the plugin. It has also inspired me to create a Wordpress Plugin. I have few things in my mind. If i am free and have mood to do some coding in PHP, I will come up with my own Wordpress plugin in future.

The installation instructions and Faq’s about the plugin are there on the same above link.

Please leave your thoughts and suggestions…

Moderate blog comments from your Desktop!!

Friday, October 31st, 2008
Two comments awaiting for moderation on my blog!

Two comments awaiting for moderation on my blog!

To moderate blog comments, Most of us login to wordpress admin and check for any new comments awaiting to be moderated.

I discovered couple of days back that now there is no need to check wordpress admin every hour to see whether there are any new comments or not.

All it takes is a wordpress plugin and an application. The application sits in your Desktop – System tray and notifies whenever there is a new comment made on your blog, something similar to yahoo messenger or Gtalk.

Isn’t great?

The Wordpress plugin is Moderator. and is written by Daniel Dura

Moderator is a combination of a WordPress plugin and an Adobe Air Application.

Adobe AIR application will sit on your desktop in system tray:

  1. Viewing unmoderated comments.
  2. Dock and system tray notifications of the number of unmoderated comments.
  3. Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
  4. Close application window, or minimize it to the system tray while running.
  5. Shows the Gravatar icons for the user who posted the comment.

Install and activate the plugin, then download and install the Adobe Air application. Once the installation goes smoothly, you will see a black colored window appearing. Just enter wordpress username and password. Its Done!!

How to Beautify Code samples in your post using Syntax Highlighter

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I was reading Do you need all those revisions? post from Nice2All blog. In the post, i found piece of SQL and PHP code.

Below is the Sample 1, how the code looked in that post:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("<i>Hello World!");
//-->
</script>

As you can see that the coloring, formatting is making the code stand out and there are also options like view plain, copy to clipboard, print.

I think i have around 5 posts that show code samples in the posts and here is how it looks.

Below is the Sample 2:


<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
document.write("<i>Hello World!");
//–>
</script>

I know every one would prefer the Sample 1 rather than the Sample 2.

As soon as i read the above mentioned post, i left a comment asking the author about the code format and found out that it can be done by just installing a wordpress plugin called SyntaxHighlighter Plus.

CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin

CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin

I am big fan of CommentLuv Wordpress plugin developed by Andy Bailey from FiddyP. I published a post few months back on How to get more comments and visitors by using CommentLuv Plugin.

I am using CommentLuv plugin on this wordpress blog from May 2008. Andy got so many inputs from the bloggers for improving CommentLuv plugin and his zeal made him to improve the plugin. This week he has released a new version of CommentLuv called AjaxCommentLuv.

From CommentLuv:

CommentLuv and AjaxCommentLuv enable you to reward your blog readers by leaving a titled link to their last post automatically whenever they comment thus encouraging more comments by more people on more posts!

It has been found to increase comments and traffic to blogs and their commentators. It currently runs as a Wordpress or Drupal plugin with a new AJAX version coming soon compatible with a wide range of blogs.

The previous version of commentluv used to grab the last post of the commentator. But new verison of commentluv will allow the commentator to select any one of his/her from last 10 posts.

If you register your site for free at CommentLuv.com you will be able to open up lots of features that are for members only like link tracking so you can see which of the comments you make on CommentLuv blogs are getting the last blog post clicked. Do NOT enter a number if you do not have one

Steps to setup CommentLuv Plugin : (skip step 2 to 4 if you don’t want to register your site)
