WordPress Turbo with Google Gears and WP Turbo

January 11th, 2009 admin 1 comment

After login,  there is a “Turbo” link on the right-top corner before the link of  “Log Out” in your siteadmin page. If you never click it, you should read the follow content I’ve written today(Jan. 11, 2009).

Part I: turbo of admin pages

First, click “Turbo” will lead you to install Google Gear. If you don’t know what’s it, let the dog(Google’s nickname) find it.  Turbo will accelerate your web browser, because it will download and cache the pages you often visit. This “Turbo” link is for turboing your admin pages.

Second,  after installation of Google Gear, restart your web browser, re-login siteadmin page, click “Turbo” again(maybe different), and enable the Gear, mark your website trust. Now, the content will be updating. Waiting, waiting and waiting…, don’t quit before it finish. We’ve finished the part one, siteadmin pages’ turbo.

Third, this is an option, bookmark “Press This” in your tools page. The URL maybe like this

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f=’http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/press-this.php’,l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,g=f+’?u=’+e(l.href)+’&t=’+e(d.title)+’&s=’+e(s)+’&v=2′;function%20a(){if(!w.open(g,’t',’toolbar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570′)){l.href=g;}}setTimeout(a,0);void(0);

Part II: turbo of website pages

Fourth, let’s turbo webpage part using a plugin named “WP Turbo”, which is written by a Chinese. The following “Read the rest of this entry »” content is copied from his website.

Refer: http://blog.istef.info/wp-turbo/

Fifth, Go to admin page, modify theme according the guide, add code

<?php if (function_exists(‘wp_turbo_button’)) wp_turbo_button(‘Turbo!’); ?>

in your header or menu php source file.

Congratulation! You’ve turboed your WordPress. If you want know the effect, please click “TURBO!” on this blog’s menu.

WordPress Database Backup

November 27th, 2008 admin No comments

WordPress Database Backup: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup

Thank Austin Matzko, who writes so useful plugin for WordPress.

I used to backup WordPress(MySQL) using phpMyAdmin, it requires manual dump database or tables, no automation, neither shedule. And there is size limitation of dump file.

“WordPress Database Backup” can use my Gmail to store db-backup files, because it’ll send WordPress db-dump as attachment in a daily email. The function of scheduled backup, such as once per day, reduces my daily works on phpMyAdmin.

“WordPress Database Backup” is the most useful plugin which every WordPress’r should plug in.

This is the URL:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/

Click download on the Top-Right corner.
