SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 Plugin v1.4

SEOSimple BoxI need first apologize for the length of time between updates. I have no excuse other than an insane work schedule. I, initially at least, was also trying to hold off releasing a new version until I had some significant bugs to fix or features to add. Perhaps it’s a testament to the simpleness of the plugin, but bugs are few and far between.

That said, an encoding bug has been the bane of the plugin’s existence and desperately needed …

SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 Plugin v1.3

SEOSimple BoxMan, since I released SEOSimple v1.2 a few weeks ago I’ve learned a massive lesson – WAY too many people are still using servers that employ PHP4 – the php engine that was replaced with PHP5 four years ago.

For anyone that tried to use the plugin with PHP4, I’m sorry about breaking your site. Actually it’s an old PHP4 bug that broke your site, but I’ll apologize anyway. So sorry I sat my butt down and whipped together a …

SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 Plugin v1.2

SEOSimple BoxClose on the heels of the release of v1.1 I’m releasing v1.2 of the SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 plugin.

I’ve just tweaked a few things to better support UTF-8 encoding, word wrapping of the descriptions and better handling of the Section and Category page descriptions.

Please report any problems you have either on the SEO Simple Support Forum, or in the comments on the SEOSimple home page.…

SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 Plugin v1.1

SEOSimple BoxJust a quick note to say that version 1.1 of the SEOSimple plugin has been released. This was just a quick release to add some additional front page title tag configurations.

You can now totally and independently control your Joomla 1.5 front page title tag using the following options:

  • [optional fp title] | [site title]
  • [site title] | [optional fp title]
  • [optional fp title]
  • [site title]

* the [optional fp title] is whatever was imputed for the “Optional Front Page …

autoMetaDescSEO changed to SEOSimple – new name, new features!

I’ve released a new version of autoMetaDescSEO, fixing many of the problems – including the stupid name – of the first release.

I’ve changed the name to SEOSimple to better reflect the fact that the Joomla 1.5 plugin project has expanded to include a few more useful SEO features.

Briefly, features of SEOSimple include:

- Auto generation of meta description tags for all pages/articles that don’t have a description tag set in the backend’s Article Manager. If if you wish …

New site: Tip. Trick. Mod.

When I initially began this blog as an extension of my design business, I wanted a place where I could write about various tips and tricks I come across due to spending an overly large portion of my day online.

Recently I’ve begun to refocus this blog as being more an outlet to discuss the happenings of Dao By Design, as well as other related news or topics from the field – including design, making money online, and the likes.…

A simple SEO plugin for Joomla 1.5

Well, I’ve officially smashed together my first Joomla 1.5 plugin – autoMetaDescSEO – crappy name, I know.

You can get all the details about the plugin at its “official” homepage, but briefly, the plugin simply takes a set chunk of text from the page’s content and slips it into the page’s meta description tag.

This was initially created for a site I was working on that had a number of pages, which I had no intention of hand-inserting meta …

My First WordPress Plugin

I’m happy to announce my first ever WordPress plugin – Censortive.

Tired of Internet censorship? Is your site being blocked for having “sensitive” words? Then Censortive is for you. Use this plugin to replace those pesky words with their graphic equivalent, making them invisible to censorship robots.

Check out the official Censortive page for all the details on how it works, how to install it, and where to get support. I’m still working out the kinks, so if you notice …
