If you were following through my latest makeover of ROCKFUSE, you would have found out that I’ve added a Sidebar Widget with Tabs to display my latest, popular and randomly selected posts. Sidebar Tabs have many advantages to it.

Why Sidebar Tabs?

First, they save a lot of real estate - Oh yes they do! Just imagine; If I had to display all those posts I’ve in those side bar tabs it would have taken the whole left sidebar, right to the very bottom. But instead with sidebars, I’m able to save 75% of the space needed to hold the posts.

Do you want to show off more from less?

Few weeks back, I posted about the Woopra Sharing Access and my switch from Google Analytics to Woopra. To tell you the truth, I am a major staticaholic and I don’t care about my income reports as much as my blog traffic statistics reports;) To me, one of the greatest joys of blogging or creating a new thing is watching it grow. And it’s quite the case with this blog.

So, coming back to the point, it’s been a while since I’ve started “messing around” with Woopra. The most convenient feature of Woopra is that it’s a standalone application installed on my PC that gives me the statistics of my blog.

Do you know that senseless pinging practices of WordPress could have banned you already from Social Media web sites? An that it can very well happen with the default settings of your WordPress blog? It might be a bit overwhelming with all the nasty questions. To ease the pressure a bit, let’s start with a simple question.

So, what do you know about pinging?

In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated.

Well, long story short - Favicon means Favorite Icon. It supports and enhances the branding of a web site by actually displaying a customized icon in the browser’s URL box, and next to the site’s bookmark in a browser’s bookmark list. For an example, if you’re in the tabbed mode of your browser, you can see the logo of ROCKFUSE appearing in a 16×16 pixel size. The same with your browser’s URL, if you’re using a supporting browser. The Favicon is indeed an ico file that is 16×16 pixels.

Do I really need it?

Well, if you think that a 16×16 image can’t change how your blog performs, I’d say you’re right.
