New Website

After the closing down of DistantHost, I have been forced to shift to paid hosting. So that’s exactly what I have done. Bought a $40/yr package from Dr2.net after recommendations from friends at SurfUnion Also purchased the domain AjayDSouza.com from GoDaddy for $8.75/yr Now all that remains is designing the site around it. This blog is also being shifted there as I post. I can use the space at Mg2 for some other site of mine 🙂 Will keep posting updates as the site […]

New WordPress Plugin: Top 10

Last week I gave you Contextual Related Posts and Moderation Author Notify. Have spent almost the whole of this week rewriting Mark’s original Top 10 plugin. And, that sure has been a rather interesting, frustrating and of course fulfilling journey in PHP in general and WordPress in particular and I still believe I’ve not even scratched the surface of PHP, SQL and WordPress! Anyway, I began with duplicating the original functionality of the plugin, however, ensuring that this strictly followed the latest Plugin API recommended by WordPress. So, a few things that were changed / added were: The table to […]

New WordPress Plugin: Better Search

Though WordPress does provide users the ability to search your blog, it is highly limited in any features. Additionally, all it does is a simple search for the term and lists the post in descending order of their post dates. It may so happen that a user may not even find a relevant search result. This is where Better Search comes in. Weblog Tools Collection has an improved search system that allows users to search for posts based on their content and relevance. I’ve adapted the code by Mark into a plugin for easy installation on your WordPress blog. Better […]

ajaydsouza.com has a new look. Still need your suggestions

If you’re reading this in your feed reader, then hit this link now. I mentioned earlier that I moved this blog to Media Temple yesterday. However, on monitoring the same, I have realized that I am still not at optimum levels. I’m not really sure what the reason for the super high resource usage is, but it is usually the themes and the plugins. So, as a test, I have decided to change the theme in an attempt to find a really light one. One of my most read blogs is Weblog Tools Collection, and in a recent post, I […]
