Wordpress Update 2.5.1
Wordpress released latest version 2.5 and within a week released an update 2.5.1
1. Post slug:- I didn’t find it any different except that I didn’t find my favorite “post Slug” option. Post slug works as the url of each post. A search engine friendly tool, I always preferred to use.
I asked Teli Adlam, The wordpress Queen, of www.optinicheblog.com on twitter.
My tweet
@teli. Hi teli. i couldn’t find post slug in 2.5. How does this affect the post url? Thx in advance.
Teli’s reply tweet
teli @ShriNagesh – you need permalinks to be activated and the post slug will appear under the post/page title box.
If you haven’t activated permalinks yet, herez an easy step-by-step tutorial and screenshot to help you.
Hope this solves the issue.
Holiday season online shopping
The heaviest online spending day of the season thus far was Cyber Monday (November 26) with $733 million in sales, quite a bit higher than estimated. comScore, Inc. released an update of holiday season e-commerce spending covering the first 30 days (November 1 – 30) of the November – December 2007 holiday season. More than $13.4 billion has been spent online during the season-to-date, marking an 18-percent gain versus the corresponding days last year.
