Hello everyone, I was struck with a very bad illness on Sunday, which is why the site has not been updated the past couple of days. I hope to resume posting new articles in the near future. I am still resting and trying to get better, so until then you might want to check out the following optical storage websites.

Today I added a WesleyTech favicon , an integrated Google search function and started to tune up the categories. The previous search function (integrated WordPress search) just did not provide the right formatting or results needed to efficiently search on the site, so I hope the new Google search helps everyone search around with greater ease. If you have previously bookmarked or added my site to your favorites, you might want to delete and readd so that the favicon is saved with your entry. I hope to continue improving the site soon by adding article tags, updating the header background image and a few more surprise features. If there’s a specific feature that you want to see on WesleyTech, please let me know.

Digg This has been updated to version 1.0.2! Digg This is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily embed a Digg.com button, link or other Digg function easily into a WordPress template. Hundreds (thousands?) of WordPress powered blogs already utilize this handy utility written by Aviran Mordo to help easily integrate Digg functionality. Here is the official description from the author.

Digg this wordpress plugin is a plugin that detects incoming links from Digg.com to your wordpress post and automatically display a link back to the digg post, for people to digg your story.When a digg is first recognized an email is sent to the site’s admin The detection is based on the referrer URL, which has to come from digg. In case there is more than one digg posts to your page, only the first one will be displayed.

There were a few annoyances (bugs?) with the previous version of the Digg This v1.0.1 plugin that I recently reported to Aviran. Due to my reported problems, the author issued an update to the plugin a few days later. Thanks Aviran!

This latest release fixes the following issues:
Previously, if a Digg submission was linked to the root of your site (http://wesleytech.com), then all articles on your frontpage would incorrectly display their own Digg This button.
Also, if a link to your website was embedded within the comments of another Digg submission, your posts would incorrectly display its’ own Digg This button.

I now have my website up and running with the WordPress content management system.

WordPress is a very versatile online publishing tool with many great options and features. The

software is also very popular, which means that there is a wide array of plugins that have been developed for enhancing the system and adding additional functionality. It is extremely easy to use with many customization options. You can modify pages and options through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) or modify the HTML and PHP code directly.

Now it’s time for me to start learning how to optimize my WordPress configuration, learn about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and boost traffic to the site.
