WordPress Gallery transformation
The gallery transformation plugin for wordpress that was used in http://cosplay-naruto.com is now released!!
This +1000 lines php script was first intended as a wordpress mod, but as the development progressed, I found that nothing other than what a wordpress plugin can do is needed. So it was converted to a plugin.
Basically, the idea was that wordpress is a very powerful CMS, much more advanced than any gallery CMS like Coppermine, or 4images. The idea then was to convert WordPress to a usable picture gallery CMS without losing the basic functionalities of it, and while keeping it compatible with the majority of the available plugins and themes on the net.
So after months of work, http://cosplay-naruto.com an experimental gallery was built on this plugin, and it had aided a lot to make the WordPress Gallery Transformation what it is today.
To take a look at this plugin, please check cosplay-naruto.com, and please take the time to subscribe there and try some stuff, please be gentle, and report any bugs you may find here
The plugin is downloadable (here gallery.transfromation), Hopefully it will be added to wordpress.org soon enough.
WassUp a great wordpress plugin, at a cost
I have been using Wassup, a wordpress that provides visitor statistics to your blog for about 2 years now. It is great, you can track the keywords that are driving the most traffic to your blog along with your referrals and visitors counts.
The downside is that WassUp collects a lot of data, way too much, and unless you have a killer server, your blog is going to get slower and slower until one day when the MySQL starts crashing on you.
As a matter of fact WassUp provides the ability to choose the data to be record, but if you had all recording options on for a long time, there is no way to delete just useless data, all you can do is delete the records that are older than a certain period.
In My case, the Wassup grew up to be 514,91 Mb (1934468 records) and that is way too much for my humble host. But at the same time, I didn”t want to lose all the records from the last two years. So what I did was to write my own SQL to delete only BOTs and spider visits leaving all real users data intact. The SQL query was:
delete from wp_wassup where `browser` =”;
after taking around 2 minutes to execute, this query deleted 1675315 rows, leaving my blog fresh and fast without losing the important records.
Also do not remember to adjust the WassUp options not to record everything, but only the things you really care to know.
Do you like WassUp, do you know of a better alternative? Tell us your story.
Learn AJAX in 5 mins
First I want to give credits to the author of the tutorial Learn AJAX in 20 mins that I improved to be less complicated and noob friendly 
AJAX stands for (as if you would remember it) Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. and it is used to send and receive data from the server without having to refresh the entire page.
I assume you have a basic knowledge of HTML and PHP.
