What about the “vote it up” plugin?

Have you had any experience with this?

Because I was testing on BabelTalk.net while writing this post, I will probably try it latter when I have time, but as you can see from on the site I have used the Topsy tweet button instead!

I love to try everything, so.. who knows what could come next ;)

Oh yea, I am loving the Topsy Tweet. Its really nice looking…not so ugly like the green retweet button.

You have time…when does that happen? :) You seem like a busy man.

Hello Hesham, I’ve tried to figure out what the problem is that you might be having, with TDO Mini Forms frezing, and I hate to say I’m just not sure! I am using an older version of WordPress but I would assume the product is useable with the latest release. You should ask your question on the forums here: http://thedeadone.net/forum/ the creator is very responsive and supportive :)

This sure is a great post bro! But i was thinking… can you write a post about how to make social sites with Drupal like you have done in MMO Social network?

Ah! I wish I can do that soon, it’s not that easy to create a social network, specially with Drupal! I remember a few years back I was struggling to use Drupal, created a few websites for testing and I didn’t feel comfortable because it’s kind of complicated as you have to do lots of steps and take care of each little detail of your website!

I will try to write about this on the first chance I can, but this is not a promise ;)

Thanks for the mention! TDO Mini Forms has been working great for my site and the best part is, it has an “edit this story” feature that stimulates further revisions much like a wiki. I created a video tutorial for TDO Mini Forms to help people get started, it’s on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Hu-lH9gME

Rock!

Hey Hesham,

Definitely! Go ahead and share the video, thanks for asking. I got another message this morning about using TDO Mini Forms and a “freezing” problem, I plan on responding but have back to back meetings so it might come later.

Again, great post and thanks for the props on mine.

There is lots of new plugins developed everyday, I think we should give some time to check what’s new, it’s a good inspiration.

I think this a great idea, I think if its setup correctly, proper marketing, and the feeds feeding out to place like twitter, friendfeed, cliqset, and other social media sites, it might work. Actually would’t mind trying it out, even helping out if you need the help.

The things that annoy me about most bookmarking sites is it takes me to bookmark site. The way you set it would work well.

Sure it is, I just need to be sure that tag pages are indexed, this domain has a PageRank of (1) , and it’s 2 years old and this is why I used it rather than buying a new fresh domain, It’s an open invitation to spread your links through my feeds ;)

You can do a great help by submitting some of your posts and maybe mention it once on your blog, I will appreciate that.

I can not hide the fact that I got more traffic than I imagine from “WebDesign News”, you must give it a try if you have any post talking about design! (this is a traffic tip ;)

Just created an account on there and submitted a link. Did not show up in the list. Does it have to be approved first?

Any website can rank as long as it gets some links in too. So as long as it gets good links in, it doesn’t matter if it has thousand more going out. I think (blog) directories and other link sites prove this already.

For tag-/category indexing, I personally choose to index one of those, the one that makes more sense. Personally, I nearly always index category-pages and noindex tags (and I do this with Robots Meta -plugin).

Perfect, you have answered my questions .. and not only that, but you have told exactly what I was thinking of!

And yes! one of those only to be indexed (tag/category), and while I was cheeking one website using the same technique and linking to so many websites, but it index the tag-pages, I think for a normal blog it’s better to index category-pages, but in my case I will go for indexing the tag-pages, I think this will increase the number of indexed pages!

One thing I should tell you about this Babel Talk website Antti, it’s not able to have a site map to be submitted to Google webmasters tools! because the links are not on the same domain ;) there must be something I am missing or a way to discover to get it the site map to be submitted!

Yup, indexing tags would be my choice on site like that too, just to get more pages indexed just like you said…

The problem with Google Webmaster tools is odd, but I haven’t done a site like Babel Talk, but I think it has something to do with the overall setup and how the plugin “generate” the content. I hope you get it sorted.

I am concerned with WordPress’ treatment of guests, and that is the main reason up until now we have been avoiding that platform.

Hopefully things have changed.

What we have noticed in the past:

-Some versions of WorldPress have a white page bug

-WordPress seems to want to issue new passwords for every new blog the commenter wishes to leave a comment on. I am referring to blogs where registration is necessary. What this does is force WordPress commenters to keep a whole library of WordPress passwords.

-Akismet is sometimes used as a censoring device by WordPress clients. That is, instead of just deleting a comment the philosophy of which does not agree with the blog owner, the owner reports the person to Akismet, and then, the commenter cannot leave comments on the majority of WorldPress blogs. (is white paged).

We find this terribly counterproductive.

Akismet was meant to filter spam, and what it is effectively doing is filtering ideas.

Unless we can be assured that there aren’t a whole army of folks out there having bad feelings about being mistreated in the past by Akismet and WordPress, we are having trouble making a decision to go with WordPress, regardless of how attractive the platform might be otherwise. (And, make no mistake, we find WordPress very professional and desirable.)

Any comments regarding these concerns would be very much appreciated.

Stetson

MMmm! I am not sure about the “white page bug” and probably you didn’t check Wordpress since long time, there is a wide rang of big companies got their websites developed on WordPress platform, and there are over 18 million WordPress publishers out there!

For example Ford Motor and Volkswagen, also CNN’s Political Ticker, BBC,Time, Digg, … etc, I mean check the Wordpress VIP page! and in addition to that I personally have used Wordpress to create website for our clients in a company I was working before.

It’s interesting to see these companies using Wordpress, if they are using it then it’s another approve of the Power of Wordpress, can do it, then you can do it!

Nice tip Hesham! I always hand-code my forms for full customization, but this looks like a fabulous plugin for those not familiar with html/css.

BTW: I love how you designed your Babel Talk site!

Indeed! and I also like the idea of using this plugin on guest blogging blogs, the guest poster don’t even need to contact the blog owner, just sign up for an account and save his post for review! pretty cool!

It seems to be working fine, but I really can not answer this question as I don’t have members or high traffic yet! but you can think about it as a very normal blog like any other blog, the plugin allows you to add a form on the front-end for your users to submit their links.I see it’s working fine on other websites.

Do you think there will be a load on the server when more users are using the form to submit their links?
