Where Are The Body Tags In WordPress Themes

by 2 Comments

Where to find the opening body tag and its closing tag in any WordPress theme? Most of the times, the snippets of code that you borrow from websites like Facebook, Google to put your like, share, plus one buttons will ask you to put the code near to either the opening body tag or the closing body tag.

If you are new to blogging using WordPress, it's quite confusing at first to find out where the body tags are. The reason is that these tags are hidden inside the theme's editor area. Whatever theme you use, if the theme provides 'editing' options, then here is where you find the body tags – both the opening and closing tags are given in different sections – so please read carefully.

by Leave a Comment

If you’ve have tried navigating to a specific folder using Windows Command Prompt Screen by manually typing the code in that little black window screen, you will agree with me that even pros sometimes have to do a trial and error to get it correct.

That’s when this surprise little trick will come in handy:

Whenever you want to open the command window in a particular location, just do a ‘shift + right click‘ on a blank space within that folder and you’ll find a new context menu entry there – “Open Command Window Here“.
If you are an avid command prompt user, you will thank this trick (of course if you didn’t know about this earlier).

Matt Cutts Videos – a shortcut to all of Matt’s videos

by 3 Comments

Matt Cutts, (bio) the head of the web spam team at Google has provided a number of videos talking about SEO, blogging best practices and answering questions from bloggers worldwide. His videos are not only informative but are very short and precise.
 

That being said, what if you still want to lessen the time spent – instead of watching all his videos how would you feel if there is a Summarized Solution given for every question asked in the Google Webmaster videos series? Awesome, right? That’s how even I felt when I came across this website which is aptly named as:-

The Short Cutts. The Short Answers to every Matt Cutts Video

This website provides a simple, sweet, precise answer to all the questions asked to Matt Cutts by humans worldwide. The website is a simple one which you’ll definitely find useful, if you are a regular follower of the Google Webmaster Videos YouTube Channel.

The website also offers four guides as freely downloadable after we sign up on their contact form page. Though, I wouldn’t sign up unless I really want to read their guides – they are useful but I chose I would pass them for the time-being and revisit them later.

One funny feature about the website is that they provide different colored T-Shirt pictures which when clicked filters the webmaster videos that has Matt Cutts wearing that colored T-Shirt which was clicked!

Give it a try and please let me know your comments below if you found this useful.

How to map a Network Drive within My Computer in Windows 7

A quick setting to map your local folder/network drive

Let’s say you have a frequently used folder in your Windows PC or Laptop which you open frequently.

 

There are 3 traditional options which I’ve used so far to get to my frequently used folders:

 

  • First I go to my folder – right click on it – and ‘Send To Desktop (Create Shortcut)’. Or
  • I copy the full path of my folder, keep it in ‘Run’ utility command box and open it from there. Or
  • Add it to my favorite folders inside an Explorer window.

Though all of the above works equally well, here is a geeky way to get this job done, using the Command Prompt Window. Using this trick you can assign an unused drive letter to your frequently used folder, making it an entry within your ‘My Computer’. I guess this stays inside My Computer until you logoff or shut down your computer.

Example:
Let’s say you want to have a folder called ‘Source’ within your C drive, assigned to a drive letter called ‘Q’.
Open Command Prompt Window. (Type CMD in Run command window) (Win key + R to open your Run command) and type the following command:
SUBST Q: “C:SOURCE”
 
That’s it. Now you will have a folder added within My Computer window like this one:
How to remove the drive letter assignment:
If you want to remove that folder from the assigned drive letter then simply type in this command:
SUBST Q:   /D
 

Hit enter to free your drive letter assignment within My Computer.
