This plugin will help with the long delay time that people experience when they using WordPress. As you know, if you have 10 or more ping services in your Options > Writing tab > Updated Services area, you will experience a long delay time, sometimes minutes. I know many people who get this delay with only one service in their list. What this plugin does is adds pinging as a shutdown hook, so you don’t have to wait forever while WordPress pings away.

No Ping Wait is a WordPress plugin designed to further eliminate the long wait after publishing a post in WordPress. While one of WordPress 2.0’s new features claimed faster posting time for users, and for a while it did, but Ping-o-Matic and other “generic pings” were not changed to be quicker. This plugin aims to correct the problem for WordPress version 2.0.x

Install

Drop the plugin in your wp-content/plugins folder. Activate like normal.

Make your titles dynamic. How do we do this? Well, it’s easier than it sounds.

Why is the title the most important SEO change you can make? Because people like titles & search engines like titles. We scan through those large blue search engine titles until we see one that sparks our interest, when we do, we then scan over the copy a bit and if we like what we see we click the tiltle. Search engines are also a lover of titles and we all love what the search engines love…. a good title.

It’s time to take control of your blog’s titles with the wonderful WordPress plugin SEO Title Tag 1.0 by Stephan Spencer.

This plugin allows you to use the titles of your post as the title for your page. I say allow because you can still choose to use your site’s name or set SEO Title Tag 1.0 to display your blog’s name before or after the title… we want the latter.

We all love our own company name, especially as entrepreneurs, but let’s face it, unless you are a house-hold name or a very well known corporation, no one will be searching your company name to find an article, product or service. You want to use the blog post’s title because hopefully, and it is up to you, it is your best description of the content at hand and it is loaded with keywords.
