Configure SMTP for goDaddy hosting
By default, the mail() function in PHP does not wor in goDaddy hosting environment, so the wordpress servers wont be able to send emails to users or as backup. There are a few pre-requisites while a webmaster tries to fix the SMTP setup for goDaddy hosting.
Do take notes that goDaddy SMTP will not allow attachment as ZIP, the only way to send website backup is to encrypt the attachment. The plugin “Online backup for wordpress” does a perfect job for it.
网页中中英文混排的字体写法
像我的博客是同时记录中文和英文，如何使用CSS来定义字体一直让我头痛。单独使用一种字体，总是很难看。最好是能够同时指定中文用雅黑，英文用xxx。以前一直不会，今天在做新网页的时候好好学习了一次，终于搞明白了。在CSS的font-family中，第一个字体用于英文，而第二个字体用于中文。这样下面的句法就可以实现了。
font-family: Arial, “Microsoft Yahei”;
还有些不明白的如果操作系统是中文的会是如何了？如果是其他语言？还不透彻。
goDaddy 的一个小漏洞，可以省钱
博客上到 goDaddy 以后，琢磨着签个长期合同省钱，研究 goDaddy 网站，发现如下漏洞。
- 如果直接购买36个月是3.49/m（50%折扣），在结账的时候无法附加其他的打折。
- 可以在自己的 my account 上选择 renew，每个月自动是 4.99/m，但是可以附加其他的打折，今天光棍节，有个33%的打折码，这是一年中最大的折扣，折合最后达到3.34/m，而且没有最少36个月的要求。
- 我签了48个月，心安。
博客转到goDaddy
由于我兄弟的主机要转向，个人博客 puzzlebird.com 今天转到了 goDaddy.com，每个月5美金，花了些时间搬站，不是很顺利，不过还是搞好了。
- MySQL的character set 由 latin1 转到了 UTF8，需要修改dump文件中SQL语句，使用 phpmyadmin import的时候，要把所有DB和Table的codepage都设为UTF8。
- 转移到新的服务器，所有的帖子都找不到了，禁用所有plugin解决。
现在都搞定了，升级完成，花了6个小时。如果请consultant做，大概是500-800美金.
Add blacklist for Adsense
AdsBlackList.com provides a blacklist of cheating ad sites or low incoming sites. Using such filter can bring more incoming from Adsense and potentially affect the trust from Google. This list is maintained by adblacklist.com and users, and it is beneficial for both. Some user said it can boot 50% to 300% of incoming.
Adsense not shown in Firefox?
My adsense was activated a few days and managed by “Adsense Manager” plugin from wordpress. Interestingly, the ads appears well on Internet Explorer 6/7, but does not work for Firefox. What’s available on the internet all suggests some javascript conflicts, however it does not apply to my case.
Applied for Google Adsense
This site has been online for 5 years, but I have not tried anything about adsense ever. The main reason was that I would like this site to be private and accessed only by my intimates.
居然已经六年了
回头看自己的Blog，从2003年在TLL使用MovableType，到后来转到Mambo/Joomla，直到现在的wordpress。比较起来，Joomla用在建站上值得，我投入学习的时间也没有白费。做博客还是Wordpress最方便。
写的零零碎碎，接起来确实六年的成长历程。人生的积累真是惊人呀。坚持实在是一种美德。
Upgraded to wordpress 2.5
WordPress released ver 2.5 today. The upgrade is quick smooth by following the guide here. Just note that wp-contents and plugins/themes folder inside should be handled with special care (i.e. copy the content, instead of just the parent folder).
