Display Ads Only On Selected Wordpress Posts

Every blog is a little different and has it’s own unique requirements. On some blogs we may want to place an ad on every post, on others we may not. A good example is this blog. There are a few posts that I make where I feel an ad is useful and lends itself to [...]


Blogging Tip # 1

Don’t think about what to write.
Write about what you think.


Fix A Wordpress Blog With One Click

Just as a foundation on a house is important to the rest of the structure and the longevity of the building, so is the foundation of a Blog. 
Wordpress is a great foundation, however, sometimes we get that foundation messed up. If you have a Wordpress Blog that is under performing, try this, set the Wordpress [...]


XML Parsing Error in Wordpress

I have posted about this problem before, however, since the Wordpress Automatic Plugin Updates (WPAU) have been working there is a new culprit for this bug. It appears to be somewhat of a random bug that occurs when you run an automatic upgrade on a plugin.
To catch this bug before it causes an unexpected problem [...]


All In The Family Blogging

With 4 family members now blogging it seems like we have turned blogging into a family affair.
My wife writes on several blogs including CelebrityRamble and ProductReviewsBlog
My Brother has 2 personal blogs at This Crazy Cosmos and Daily Rover, he is also the main writer at MusicRamble
My youngest daughter has decided to give blogging a [...]


Twitter in the SERPS

While browsing my analytics I noticed a search someone had performed at Google for digsby or pidgin.
Nothing real earth shattering there, but what I did find interesting is that when I followed that search, the very first result is a status page from Twitter.

More and more we ares seeing Social Networking and now Micro Blogging [...]


A Blog Quest

I am in a quest to find (read) blogs that are profitable.
Oh, there is a catch….
I want to see profitable blogs that are not part of the whole blogging about blogging to show you how to make money blogging while talking about blogging and designing sites that are just intended to make money…about blogging.
Did that [...]


Online Income

Seems everyone wants the answer to the instant online income question.
After spending the last 20 years online in one form or another I can honestly say that there has never been another time that allowed us to make money so easy as there is right now on the Internet. Now having said that, I [...]


Basic Wordpress Theme

Since I started working on a Basic Wordpress Theme last month I have had a few request to release what I have for others to experiment with.
So here it is. CyberCoder Basic WordPress Theme (Zip File)
If you have any interest in learning to create new Wordpress Themes I would highly recommend downloading this theme to [...]


Read Your Own Blog !

Do you read your own blog?
Do you really look at your statistics?
I am always amazed when people tell me they really study their own blog and statistics. Then I will ask them what their Top Landing Page is, or what is the top keyword phrase used to find them. Invariably I get a little silence [...]


Air is Technology

I just learned this, Air is Technology, thanks to Office Depot.
I had an office depot discount coupon and was trying to get to the dollar level where the coupon would save me a few bucks.
So, along with my office supplies I decided to throw in some compressed air to help clean my computer equipment. [...]


Organic SEO Lesson

Search engines want true organic listings, and for some reason a lot of people struggle with this concept. If you write an original article you are creating an organic (natural) post. And the results you achieve might just surprise you. And yes, this is probably harder for me as a programmer than you can imagine. [...]


Wordpress XML Parsing Error

No sooner did I write the post about troubleshooting I came across a Wordpress error that took way more time to solve than I expected.
One thing I know as a programmer is that every single character in a file is critical. I can not even guess how many times a simple question mark or apostrophe [...]


Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008

Like a lot of other bloggers there is no way I can possibly list everyone who has impacted me on the Internet in the last year. So, I would just like to thank everyone who reads this!
2007 was  a stellar year for me on the Internet and at times it was a little wild. If [...]


Wordpress Plugin RSS

During my Blog reading this morning I came across a post at Garry Conn dot com about increasing comments using your RSS Feed. This was right after I had watched a video at ShoeMoney.com about “What is your edge?”
The combination of these 2 posts inspired me to write a Wordpress Plugin today to add Comments [...]


Micro Blogging

Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion has a very interesting post about Web 2.0 Trends and one of the graphics he uses is this chart from Google Trends comparing Twitter to Blogging.
That chart really got my attention. I had no idea that Twitter was that popular, or that the term Micro Blogging was coming into it’s [...]


What have I done for you lately

Did I say that wrong, isn’t it supposed to be “What Have YOU Done for Me Lately”?
Nope, you read it right. Here’s the deal. I am better at coding, ideas, editing and almost everything except actually blogging. I have helped several people get the most out of their systems. The most recent person to mention [...]


Making mistakes and being open minded

I think I like vlogging more than blogging.
I just felt a little rant coming on and Christine Senter inspired me with her guest post on GarryConn.com, along with a comment there from Mark at MeAndMyDrum.com.
Remembering the basics is a key to success and it also reminds me that we have to admit mistakes and learn [...]


Honest Blogging

I needed a little blogging humor this morning and although I found this cartoon from Blaugh pretty funny, the reality is that this it is probably closer to the truth than most would admit.
Blogging has certainly brought a new level of honest and direct communication to business, and there are certainly some companies that were [...]


CyberCoder.net Update

Thanks to everyone who have been visiting and participating in the comments. Just wanted to let everyone know of some updates and changes to the site that should benefit your involvement at CyberCoder.net

Top Commenters are now listed on the left sidebar with a link to their respective name.
Recent Comments are now listed in the right [...]


Make Money Online list

I was looking at the 45n5 Top 100 list of blogs that talk about Make Money Online. I have seen some pretty funny comments about this list. But the fact is that a site does not have to just talk about Making Money Online to be helpful to those wanting to learn how to Make [...]


RSS Autodiscover

As a typical programmer I sometimes look more at the code than I do the content.
With that being said I have noticed a lot of websites that have their RSS Autodiscover tag pointing to a feed that is different from what they advertise as their RSS subscription to readers. Hopefully this video will help identify [...]


Micro Niche Finder Update

As I have posted about before, Micro Niche Finder is one of my favorite new programs this year. I use it on a daily basis and highly recommend it to anyone who is blogging or researching search trends on the Internet. Since purchasing MNF I was having no problems and the system ran smoothly while [...]


Cyber Sightings

I have created a new page to thank all those who have helped me in Blogging by posting about me.
Cyber Sightings


Collaborating on a new blog

I will probably never be a great blogger, writing is just not my skill set, maybe someday I will get the vlogging going and that will suit me better. However, one of the things I have re-learned the last couple of years is the power of synergy and how important it is to share with [...]


Subscriber Stats and updates to Webmaster Tools

Google has added subscriber stats to their Webmaster Tools. This is a nice addition, however I noticed it was only working with internal feeds and not Feedburner. I left a comment and hopefully this problem can be resolved. The system works with any Google product for aggregating feeds.
The updates to the interface are nice [...]


Blogger Play

This is a just a for fun thing, but interesting. The Google Blogger team has come up with a site to allow us to watch images as they are uploaded to the Blogger platform. Blogger Play
If you select “show info” in the bottom right corner it will show you the blog and profile of the [...]


Import Blogger to Wordpress error

If you have tried to import a blog from Blogger to WordPress 2.2 you may have been frustrated by an error. The system just returns a message that it can not login to your Blogger account. There is a very simple fix for this error that requires a one character change in the wp-admin/import/blogger.php file.
On [...]


Why are you blogging?

Are you blogging to have a voice in this new age of information?
Are you blogging just to make money?
Maybe it’s a little of both?
Whatever the reason; be honest, to yourself and to your readers.
I started building websites in 1994, why, because it was the next logical step in software for me. I was developing database [...]


Make Money Online

Did that get your attention?
Not sure what it says about us, but key that headline into Google and you get 313,000,000 results. Yes, that’s 313 Million.
Everybody says they hate the get rich quick schemes, yet someone is digging for them and trying them.
Anyway, if you want to get rich quick, I certainly can not help [...]
