In the past few days I was looking for a wordpress plugin that could help me use two domains with the same content from a single blog. And of course, the world is so small that only one coder thought to make such a plugin. From my searches I found mkaleavy.org, a nice blog based more on the photography topic, but the thing is he had what I wanted and so I thank him. The plugin is called Domain mirror and it allows you to use multiple domains on the same wordpress blog as I mention previously, but it also changes all your links for every domain. An example, from the authors page: McAleavy or LightPainting and as you can see it also changes the blogs title and description. This plugin has two versions, v1.1 that is a bit old but stable and version 1.2 beta which I am using now with no problems from what I’ve tested. Here are the main futures from the authors page:
New in v1.1
You can now have a separate tagline on each domain.
The Admin screen has a button to copy in the current Wordpress configuration to save on typing.
The Admin screen has buttons to clear content from whole domains and indivudual lines.
New in v1.2beta
Theme switching.
SERVER_NAME / HTTP_HOST config option.
“no admin screen” switch.
More validation.
Added “stripcslashes”
Also the installation is very easy, you only have to unzip, upload the files to your wp-content/plugins and then enable it from your control panel. Besides that you have to park your new domain on the same folder your first domain is.
In conclusion, I thank him and you can find more info, download links on his blog or you can download it from my mirror (it’s the beta version)
It’s a simple question if you ask me. From what I know there are over 100 million bloggers right now on the internet and almost 40% of them are using wordpress. Now, I don’t have time to look over all the blogs, but from what I have seen almost 70% of the bloggers use two columns themes. Now this is a problem, because all the tow columns themes don’t give you the opportunity to expand and add new things to it. For example me, I have three columns, the main one for content, one for categories and some ads and the third which is a bit larger, for banners, links and other stuff that doesn’t have the width over 310px. This theme has a lot of advantages because of the width, but here is an example of a well known entrepreneur, Zac Johnson Read the rest of this entry »

In this post I will tell you how to pimp your blog with the best wordpress plugins and as for themes, I posted a top 10 in a past article, which were chosen from my point of view. I am writing this post because I have a lot of friends that don’t have the necessary knowledge, info on some problems that make the blogging experience harder. Some have problems embedding video, mp3 files into posts, other can’t add meta keywords, description and also there are some problems in adding ads from amazon and even google. Before writing about the plugins that I am using, here is a list of websites that have the necessary resources you need for making your blogger live easier:
- First of all, the plugins section from wordpress .com, which is very easy to find under “EXTEND > Plugins“ or here is a the direct link
- A nicer website with more plugins is WP-PLUGINS.NET and on the .ORG version is a plugin repository

This days a lot of themes appear on different free wordpress themes sites, but in this post I would like to tell you some themes that are not overused and have remarkable design. It’s like a top 10 made by me and I hope you like them. So here is the top:
1st place
Theme name: InSense 1.0

DesignDisease
This theme in my opinion is wonderful. The guys from designdisease.com have done a great work with this one. It’s a good theme for a personal blog, if you are not into adsense or other ad marketing. Girls go get it…

2nd place
Theme name: iTheme 1.1

NDesign STUDIO
I am not a big fan of mac, but this theme is very nice, especialy for apple fans that are always in the search of new products from this producer. NDesign is sure one of the biggest high-quality tutorials and themes website on the web.

Theme name: Red and Black 1.1
Theme author: diego018
A very nice wordpress theme, with a lot of futures for ads because I tested it and Adsense blends very well if you know how to mix colors. It’s a good theme for those who want to have a nice blog and also make some money
