WordPress Plugin: Google Sitemap Generator.

Every website on the WWW will have to kowtow to Google nowadays, as in comply to their webmaster’s guidelines. Having your site being listed in the supplemental search results is the last thing a webmaster ever wanted, besides being banned by Google Adsense.

So I figured it’s time for me to organize all the posts in this blog and come out with a sitemap, in order to submit to the Google Webmaster Tools. Google Sitemap Generator is one of the top ten results upon Google search.

WordPress Plugin: CompleteRSS, serving your RSS feed in full.

I used to serve my RSS feed in full text. In this way I personally think the readers will enjoy the information easier, without visiting the actual site for the full content. This is what RSS feed, and any other technology meant to be, to simplify things, to save time.

The problem is that ever since I’ve implemented the “more” tag for better front page sorting, my RSS feed is not able to serve in full text anymore. It inherits the “more” link in the feed, in where you set to trim the post. I’ve been looking for solution for this problem, and I’ve found one.

This is a WordPress plugin brought to you by Computer Guru. CompleteRSS is a plugin that allows you to serve your RSS feed in full HTML. Download page is here.
