Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t want certain pages in your WordPress blog from showing up in the main menu? By default all pages and sub-pages you create will automatically display in your menu.
To remove certain pages, find the wp_list_pages() template tag in your blog’s theme and customize it to display the menu the way you want it. The tag can be found mostly in your theme’s header.php or sidebar.php.

Last month Text Link Ads (TLA) started using tinyurl.com to shorten and secure it’s affiliate referral links and had asked TLA publishers to update their affiliate links before the end of the month.
I have used my TLA affiliate links in many posts and so I had not updated my posts until I found an easier method thanks to Liew who has explained on how to update all the old TLA affiliate links in one shot (WordPress only) using Mass String Replace in MySQL.
Using the below MySQL query, I was able to update all my posts containing Text Link Ads affiliate links in a few seconds:
UPDATE `wp_posts` SET `post_content` = REPLACE(`post_content`, "OLD_TLA_AFF", "NEW_TLA_AFF")
Please note that OLD_TLA_AFF should be replaced with your old Text Link Ads affiliate URL and NEW_TLA_AFF replaced with the new Text Link Ads affiliate URL.

I had been planning to redesign this blog for a long time and also had drawn a rough sketch of how I wanted the new design to look like but it was delayed due to many reasons. But after finding that many of the blogs I read got redesigned recently, I too felt that it was time for me to do the same.
I worked on the new design for a few days and finished with it yesterday and also tested it on Firefox, Opera, IE 6 and 7. Everything looks fine so far but I still have a few things to do like optimizing the CSS, removal of useless plugins and some other things to decrease page load time.
After viewing the video over at Problogger.net that gives a short tour of Darren’s home office, I too created a similar one showing my PC and the chair I use while blogging but the video is not all that good as I have never tried this before nor do I know anything about video editing. The video is not of good quality either as I filmed my PC with my Nokia N73 Music Edition which has just a 3.2 megapixel camera.
Windows 7, which was formerly codenamed Blackcomb and then Vienna, is a future version of Windows that you can expect to be released about three years from now. Recently Deviant Art member Long Z created an unofficial but cool looking Windows 7 Wallpaper that you can download for free.
The Windows Seven wallpaper is available for both widescreen (1680×1050,1920×1200) and regular resolutions (1280X1024,1024X768,800X600).

Those of you who use Windows Vista may have noticed that the clock in your system tray displays time in the 24 hour format by default. If you prefer 12 hour format and is confused on how to do it, follow these steps:
Note: Change Time format to HH:mm:ss to switch back to 24-hour clock format.
This may sound simple, but believe me I never found the option to switch to 12 hour format until I googled and found this page.
Have you seen this funny Matrix style fight scene between a cow and a man before? It’s one of the funniest videos I have seen. Enjoy!
Let me know if you know from which movie this scene was taken from.

A friend if mine send me a few pictures of what people eat at Beijing during night and I almost vomited seeing them. Now it’s your turn 
Do you prefer to moderate comments on your blog but tired of getting your inbox flooded with moderation notices? How-To Geek has developed a WordPress Comment Moderation Notifier software which sits in your system tray and alerts you whenever there is a comment for moderation. It accesses the WordPress XML-RPC API by means of a small WordPress plugin.
Using the software, you will be able to quickly launch your comment moderation page via the menu you get when you right-click the icon in your system tray. When there are new comments you will get a little message pop up and clicking on it will take you to the moderation page. The software also lets you control on how often it should check for new comments.
