So, what’s phishing? Phishing is when someone wants to steal your private information like username and password. There are lots of methods of phishing, and we will share with you all of them .

Email phishing – when someone sends you an email with convincing text to go to your paypal account or ebay account, when you are clicking the link, you redirected directly to the scammers web page. So you are the unlucky fish cought by the phisher. Phishing landing page looks exactly like your ebay login page or your paypal login page, once you entered your username and password, your information is sent to the phisher and he can easily deposit all your bank account cash to his account for example. So how to avoid it, before you are leaving your information to someone, in our case ebay phishing page for example, check out it’s domain name on your browser address bar , it should be www.ebay.com and not www.ebay.com.tw or something.

Another example when someone sends you the link with text “check out this funny picture” on twitter, once you click on this link you’ve been redirected to the “twitter” login page, once again , it will be phisher landing page.real twitter login page url should start with www.twitter.com or twitter.com

Beware, check 1000 times before you are living your private information somewhere.

Good news , you don’t need any wordpress twitter plugin for now, we will teach you how to create this plugin yourself !

Twitter button allows to your visitors to tweet every single post. That’s cool enough right ? There are some free widgets available over the net. Tweetmeme.com button for example, but when you are using tweetmeme button , you are automatically retweet tweetmeme.com I don’t want to retweet tweetmeme and probably you also don’t want to retweet them. So let’s create our twitter button from scratch.

First we need button image actually. You can use our happy bird : just save it on your desktop.

Ok, let’s do it :

• Upload this image to your server root
• Login to wp-admin, click appearance, click editor, on right menu find single.php file, click on it
• Inside of Single.php find html code one of the following : <div class=”entry”> or <div id=”entry”> after this tag insert code <?$title=get_the_title();?><div style=”float:left;margin-right:.5em;margin-bottom:.5em;”>  <a title=”ReTweet this” href=”http://twitter.com/home?status=<?=urlencode($title)?>+<?php the_permalink();?>”><img border=”0″ src=”<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/twitter.gif”></a>  </div>
• Save single.php
• If you use cacher , clear the cache

Now when everyone visits your blog, he could tweet any post.

Good luck coding and exploring your wordpress blog !

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.

As a default kubrick theme don’t shows sidebar when you are browsing into single post or attachement.

It could be fixed in a 2 minutes of our time. We also created preview for this tutorial : http://penguinationproject.com/preview/

You can click on any post, sidebar will appear on single post.

So, let’s start :

login to wp-admin -> appearance -> editor.

You will need to edit two files in same way single.php and image.php

Both files are edited in the same way,  find html code :

<div id="content" class="widecolumn" role="main">

Change it to 

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">

Scroll to the bottom of code and find code :

<?php get_footer(); ?>

add these line


<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

here is a simple and fast tutorial how to add youtube video downloader tool to your website or blog. This tool allows your visitors downloading youtube videos from your website, take a look at our right sidebar for example.

If your blog powered by wordpress, go to your wp-admin on the left wp-admin menu click on appearance -> editor.

In editor right menu click on Sidebar ( sidebar.php ) ,  you will see something like this :  <div id=”sidebar”> …..

after <div id=”sidebar”> tag insert code below

<iframe height=”150″ width=”300″ style=”border:1px solid #c5c5c5″ src=”http://youtubevideocollector.com/dl.php”></iframe>

Or choose another width and height here

You can manually modify iframe code , to fit your sidebar width and height just change width and height in iframe html code .

No one answered you this question, right ? I will tell you why, there are lots of domain name speculants, they register domain names for reselling it. No one will answer you this question because lots of domain name speculants are owners of domain names reselling, kinda weird businesses and high traffic domain names forums.

I will tell you the truth. Once domain name registered, it is parked with registrant usually, and if it has no back links, the PR of domains is not calculated with google.  Cheater register domain names and link thew with many websites that has page rank already, usually PR2 + After one or two month, domain linked with page rank websites becomes PR domain name, if they create simple hosting and host website with about 300 words page and lots of these words contain keywords of domain itself.

Once they got high PR, they are going to ebay or domain name forums to sell their “PR” domains, and if you buy domain name like this one and create website on it, it will be reached with google crawler and PR will be dropped to 0 or to “no PR”.

Page rank is not always sufficient component in search engine optimization. Page rank is important when we are talking about serious websites creating their content not just for google page rank, with reach content,features or services.

If you are looking for a good domain name for your website, make sure it’s name fits your website’s keywords and description.

How to choose domain name properly ? It’s simple, really. Let’s say you have penguin t-shirts business and you want to register proper domain name for your business website. First think about keywords for yiour website niche. Once you found some good keywords don’t run to register it, go to google Adwords keywords tool check for phrases of your business and their popularity in google search results, for example check with adwords phrase “penguin t-shirts” and if it is popular enought (5000 – 20000 + ) monthly searches, register it with some domain name registrar.

Once you added unique content of your business or website and it submitted with google search engine, build some links, participate in forums and blogs… don’t spam, just offer your business, and your domain name PR will raise itself after some time. Yes it takes time for google to reach your page even if you submitted it with google.

We hope it was useful short tip about domains and domainers and how to register proper domain name for your business.

Good luck.

Another great feature is Site builders :

Now let’s look at hostgator’s hosting logs features.

There are variety of log scripts installed with hostgator cpanel :

• Error Log – This function will display the last 300 errors for your site. This can be very useful for determining what links are broken on your site, or what files do not exist that should. Checking this log frequently can help keep your site running smoothly.
• Raw access log – Raw Access Logs allow you to see who has accessed your site without the use of graphs, charts or other graphics. You can use the Raw Access Logs menu to download a zipped version of the server’s access log for your site. This can be very useful when you need to see who is accessing your site quickly.

FTP – WebDav  SSH access

In comparison with other hostings, ftp , webdav and ssh are installed with hostgator hosting and you can use them any time. Ftp loads stable , without disconnections in time of files transfer, here is a good point to bash godaddy hosting again. Godaddy hosting’s ftp disconnects sometimes fail on files transfer, I wouldn’t use their hosting even for free… seriously. It has full shell access for the linux penguins, password protected dirctories, hot links protections, ssl/tls manager, ip deny manager, GNUpg keys.

Mailing / Mailing from script

Lots of mailing managers inside of hostgator hosting, mailing executed from script is done really fast, we mailed 1200 users with vbulletin script, mailing executed in just a few seconds. That’s really cool !

Domains

• Subdomains – Subdomains are URLs for different sections of your website. They use your main domain name and a prefix.
• Addon Domains – An addon domain allows you to reach a sub-domain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting provider. Addon Domains are relative to your account’s home directory.
• Parked Domains - Parked Domains (Domain pointers) allow you to “point” or “park” additional domain names to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your website when entering the “parked” or “pointed” domain into their browsers.
• Redirects – Redirects allow you to make a specific web page redirect to another page and display the contents of that page. This way you can make a page with a long URL accessible by a page which has a shorter and easier to remember URL.

Databases

Remote MySQL, PHPMyAdmin , mysql database wizard – to create your database fastly, databases manager.

Variety of Software / Services, server configurations

PHP.ini configurations, ruby gems, ruby on rails, sitemap builder, Perl modules, CGI center

Apache handlers, Image managers, Index manager , Error pages, Cron jobs , Front page extensions, Network tools, MIME types.

There are lots of other additional function and every each of features described below contains it’s individual features.

You can visit hostgator hosting , check out their hosting plans offered and sign up.

We think it’s a great offer for beginners and professionals, especially for zend framework developers that are looking for good stable hosting with linux shell access that supports all PHP 5 features and zend framework ( or other framework ) classes.

Good luck !
