WordPress all the way! 2 reasons, well I would say 3 1. It's simpler to use. 2. It's been getting the best CMS award since last 2 yrs. [it's just not a blogging engine] 3. I've personally used it for more than 4 yrs. now... so I know what I mean There is hardly anything that you can't accomplish in WordPress and the amount of plugins & themes that are available for WordPress can put any other CMS to shame.

My experience has been very different from what most of the people have to say. I actually managed to get my site indexed in 24hrs only I launched a new site, wrote a viral article, submitted it to digg and other places and the site was indexed with in 24 hrs I shared my experience as a blog post, altough that site (tipsosaurus) has been merged in reviewsaurus, it still isn't that difficult to get your site indexed by google in 24 hrs.

Well Akismet & math plugin are fantastic way to reduce the commment spam, however, i personally prefer to use Akismet & Bad behavior plugin. These two plugins keep most of the comment spam out and I only get to check like 5 - 10 comments in moderation, which isn't as bad considering that Akismet shows these stats - &

I'm a WordPress fan! Reason - It's the best!! It can be extended to a level that'll fulfill your requirement. WordPress has extensions where, it'll hhave that download counter script, use bbPress or buddypress for features like forum or other facebook like social networking features. WordPress+BuddyPress can be used to literally make a Facebook clone.... so will you still have doubts over it power? The concern raised by Iniyila that you may be running out of bandwidth and all is true, however you can relax till the time your site gets popular....

well, I don't think it'll be wise for me to leak any more information. he he...I'd want to feel special everyday till the time you all get to access the features. but i can assure you that it'll be something that you all would like. Moreover, I would suggest that it'll be nice if you could point out certain features that you all are looking for and i'm sure good ones will surely see daylight.

Yea, web servers, wordpress are some of the topics that can keep me hooked up for days! and if at all you happen to be in India then one should give a visit to him. well, the kind of features that I saw will surely take time.. but all the moderators, members will go nuts after experiencing the speed and new features. yeah... the office is awesome! the projector and nice 5.1 speaker system was an added bonus. regarding the fattie .. well we both try and teach each other sommething or the other

first of all, hello to everyone. I'm Mayank and i've been a member of Xisto (now Xisto) since long however, its been looong time since I was active on the forums. Anyway, the urge to share my experience that i recently experienced made me look back to the community. I was fortunate enough to spend a week with OpaQue, the no.1 member of the forum .. not only i got to learn a lot about webservers and their optimization, i was able to share certain moments that will always help me in the life..i don't know what else to write here... may be OpaQue will kill me for leaking the information.... but guys...expect some awesome features in the forums pretty soon

thanks guys, this will surely help a lot!actually the prize money isn't coming to me either. My designer's dad is not well and is in hospital and I've decided that the prize money will go to him in this bad time for him. Please any help is appreciated..

:) Four shocks for making it for the consecutive 4th year! S_M! your contribution to Xisto has been amazing..after thousands of posts (i'm sure word count will easily cross 1 million) you still remain as one of my fav member of trap (will not name others, S-M has full right to be the show stealer). OpaQue is lucky to have one such member.You are just too good buddy...keep it up!

Google Analytics seems to be good, However, lately I realized that it was not able provide the correct information at all! It happed that one day my personal website was down and I'd linked to one of my friends blog but still it showed on his analytics that he was getting traffic from my website.How could it be possible...when I'd closed the site on my own and was updating the site...how could he get the traffic from my website. Later on, I switched to http://www.haveamint.com/ which seems to be providing much more accurate information. With the help of plugins, we can get good information. However, it doesnt have that detailed information, which analytics is able to provide, but atleast it is providing the correct info.

he he, Jim! you summed up all the post in one single line. I guess that really is saving the time and energy and I am really bad at that when I want to explain things, I just write too much or speak too much...maybe making the things boring. Anyway, it seems that most of the people agree to me on this part that these traffic generation programs of no use at all. So, do we discuss the good traffic generation techniques in next post or would you like to mention anything about these traffic generation programs???

It's not working for all the countries yet! I can certainly say about India at least. I guess Google is coming out with free sign up only in those countries where they speculate that not many people will run towards the sign ups, so that they can easily take care of the load which they'll be getting after they open the registration!

Well, do you really think that the traffic generation will work ? Free traffic generation program may generate traffic for you however, that traffic is of no use at all. Because people actually visit other sites just for the reason to earn points..so that other members of same program can visit their websites and like this the loop goes on and on...people visit each others site without reading anything and thus that visit is of no use at all! so, do you think that this kind of traffic is of any use to you and joining these traffic generation programs will help you ? I will discuss the tips which actually helps generates the traffic in the next post, but meanwhile you can think over this and don't forget to post your thoughts on this!

He he, that's really funny. I'm sure that boy or girl must have been running after the girl or boy from long time

Hello everyone, Can please someone get the screenshots of the process of installing certificate in Apple Safari. here's what you can do to help me : 1. Open http://www.onetel.co.uk/ on safari 2. You'll get the security certificate error and that's where you've to take the screenshots of installing the certificate in safari. (Note this website is completely safe, in case you get any phishing filter alerts, you can ignore them. Onetel is an Internet service provider in UK and I work for them.) Please take down the screenshots of each and every step. I'll be grateful to you.

Hey baskar!It depends on the value of the site as well. If your website rather webpages will have more incoming links then the value of the clicks will be much more than compared to a site which doesnt have a PR.So, the best thing is that write good content and get as many links as you can and then you'll have much more value of your ads.If the site is fairly new then think over changing the niche of the website to something else (If at all possible for you), which may be having higher value for the ads.

Alright, I resolved it myself! In case anyone of you faces any problem like this..then simply follow these instructions : 1. Go to https://support.xisto.com/ 2. Select Terminate Hosting account. 3. Follow the instructions 4. Add the domain in your Xisto - Web Hosting account.

Hi everyone!Although, I am not at all regular in the forum these days. But, I do come now and then to make sure that all members don't forget me :lol:Anyway, this is just a bump post, because while I was going through the posts today, I noticed that there were many posts which were having only a single word in the Topic Title.And also that posts were not very descriptive. We have to understand that in order to make sure this community grows constantly we'll need to make sure that we at least follow the above given rules.Please, make sure that when anyone creates a new post then please concentrate a lot on Topic Title....that is the most important aspect, however not neglecting the other rules too.

randomdood, what makes you believe that they'll not get the publicity like Google or Yahoo. Have you heard of Baidu? If not, let me tell you that this search engine is giving hard time extremely hard time to Google. And it is a Chinese search engine. It is only targeted towards Chinese audience and see they are going extremely good!So, why do you think that Guruji search engine will not do good? It is also targeted towards Indian audience only. So, can you give me a brief idea about you thinking or what made you believe that they'll never make it?

Sorry for the bump post...But can you please release the domain from your end. I was not at all able to find out the way of releasing the domain from my end.Thanks

Happy Birthday Jim!! Although I am quite late in wishing you...but not so much, considering the fact that I hardly turn up in the forum these days. I hope that you had a blast on that day and that you'll have blast in coming days & years too!

Wow, as usual another browser topic turning into browser war topic! Anyway, the new version of Firefox is good and has got nice set of features. Like phishing protection, better security and the best thing, real time spell check feature. But the biggest problem, which most of us must have been facing is the unavailability of the updated plugins and that's why most of the people will still stick around with the old version. The one I miss the most is Tab Mix Plus. As far as everyone speculations about the no. 1 browser spot is concerned, I'll like to contribute that IE still rules the market share... Can you imagine after IE 7 was released in just 4 days 3 Millions downloads were complete! Firefox is gaining popularity and thanks to all the fans out there but Firefox has to do a real hard work to reach to top.

Well special, before calling anything stupid you must give some solid reasons, so as to make everyone believe about your fact. Now, Let me give you some light about this search engines..This company is now supported by sequoia capital (Same company which invested in Google, Apple, Nvidia...in their early days.) So, if the creators of this site (Two IITians, IIT stands for Indian institute of technology...the best engineering college in India and both these people have more than 10 years of experience and were part of many successful startups) were able to convince sequoia capital then I think they stand good chance. They are not competing with Google as they have not released a search engine for whole the world. It is specific for the Indian audience or people who want to know about India. I've written more about it at my website : Guruji - the indian search engine
