We included archived .zip file in this tutorial , the archive contains wp-login.php file created for default wordpress theme – kubrick theme. You can download this file here

Make sure you backupped your original “wp-login.php” file on your computer or your server.  Change your default wp-login.php with attached one.

You can see the example here,  it works in login and register cases.

Just download the file and compare with original wp-login.php, sorry we didn’t created full documentation or tutorial for this, because we forgot the process of changing it’s design.

If you need any help, just post comments and we will help you.

Guru !

Please take a look at our example, of what are we going to create : Here

Let’s start coding :

First create category “videos” and post at least one video from youtube or any other flash video.

Now we will need “video” category id before we will start PHP coding of our sidebar, login to your wp-admin, click on posts, categories , you will see categories list, click on created video category.

In your browser address field you will see something like that : http://penguinationproject.com/preview/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=3

Category id number  is 3 (cat_ID=3).

Now when we know our category id , let’s start coding.

Click on appearance in your left admin menu, click edit , you will see files list on right menu. Click on sidebar.php

Find html code  <div id=”sidebar” role=”complementary”>

After this code and before <ul> tag starts insert PHP code below , we commented inside of code where you should add your category id number.

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

// take a look at line below, &cat=3 , change 3 to your category id.

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1&cat=3');

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
  $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>

<?php
$id =$post->ID;
$the_content =
$wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $id ");
$pattern = '!<embed.*?src="(.*?)"!';

preg_match_all($pattern, $the_content, $matches);
$obj_src = $matches['1'][0];
?>

<?php if($obj_src != '') 

{ 

echo '<b>Latest Video</b><br><br><object width="160" height="120">
<param name="movie" value="'.$obj_src.'"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="'.$obj_src.'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="160" height="120"></embed>
</object><br><br>'; 

}

?>
 <?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Now save the file , go to your wordpress blog’s  homepage , You will see most recent video on your blogs sidebar .

From now once you are adding video in “video” category , it will automatically appear on your sidebar.

We will continue hacking default wordpress theme soon. And we wish you all the best ! Please leve comments.

Good luck.

Hi there, you are probably very cool blogger with very popular blog ? How many visitors your wordpress blog reaches daily ? If there are 3-4 visitors per day, you are not cool blogger at all   This tutorial for blogs with at least 100 daily visitors from google and other resources.

So, what is it all about, how to speed up wordpress blog ?

I woke up one great North pole morning, turned up my penguin  laptop and opened penguination project website. Hm… it wasn’t opening,  I was waiting five or ten minutes until my wordpress blog opend the home page !!! Crap ! What’s wrong ? I’ve opened google and googled “wordpress blog slow”, yes it is ! Actually wordpress blog software is a very comprehencive application that loads slow natively when your blog reaches big amounts of traffic. Now everything is cool, I didn’t touch wordpress code myself and decided to figure out how to speed up my blog with existing plugins and methods.

There are some basic tips how to speed up your wordpress blog :

1. Never use godaddy Linux hosting, if you are using godaddy linux hosting , godaddy slow itself and it slows everything around. It is a good time to migrate your blog to some serious hosting company like hostgator hosting. I think their basic hosting plan is enough, it’s cheap and your website load times will be sky high !

2. Download and install WP Super cache plugin . This plugin enables pages storing in hosting memory and caching with explorer. And if your blog receives big amounts of traffic, your visitor will not see any sufficial changes in load times. This plugin is a genious one, and probably was made by genious penguin.

3. Images – Use light weight images in your posts, you can decrease the quality of high resolutional images by 60% with adobe photoshop or other software.

4. Use light weight wordpress templates with less graphics as much as possible.

We hope we helped you to speed up your wordpress blog, now i’s your turn .. leave comments and suggestions.

Good luck !

this post is a comparison between godaddy.com, hostgator and other hostings we worked with for the past year.  Only Penguins will tell you real truth about hosting companies. You will never find this information in any other place.

Godaddy

First of all we are going to bash godaddy hosting (godaddy.com) , it’s really suck and slow web hosting company.  They are full of images and products you will never need.

Every little step you do you should select additional products to add to your cart. However, they are cheapest domain name company with good domain name registrar support. We never tried windows godaddy server because we never deal with windows Linux rocks ! We use Ubuntu as a development platform and operating system, it’s really fast and cool at any PC.

Hostgator

This crocodile hostgator rocks ! Hostgator guys provide Live chat support to novice and professional hosting maintenance, hostgator has very cool hosting cpanel with lots of features like awstats, fantastico, you can install websites very easy without coding knowledge, very cool file manager and much more.  Hostgator is highly recommended for Penguins that are looking for cheap linux PHP / mysql based hosting.

Conclusion

Register your website’s domain names with godaddy,  use hostgator as a linux based hosting.

You will need to redirect your domain name’s nameservers to hostgator , how to do that ? Hostgator will guide you .

Good luck, we hope this hosting comparison post was useful for you. If you have other suggestions or questions please comment.
