Another WordPress plugin

Well, who would ever have thought I would be writing WordPress plugins as was, and still am, not really convinced that WordPress is the best system to build websites. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not against WordPress or something. Even this whole site until now has been built with WordPress. I just don’t believe WordPress is the best system to build e.g. company websites, especially not for company websites that don’t change that much and need to be search engine friendly.

But I have to admit that the WordPress theme has built an efficient and user friendly framework with which it indeed is possible to build websites in a user friendly way. Just keep in mind that I am a web developer (and a control freak) that prefers to build websites from scratch in html/php straight away. And with my skills and knowledge that is often the most efficient way, especially for more advanced websites or websites that need to be dynamic based on structured data and for websites that need to be search engine friendly.

And that was exactly what I was missing in standard WordPress: the option to be able to set title tags, meta description tags and meta keywords tags on a ‘per page’ basis. And that is also the reason that I built my second WordPress plugin: IFS SEO Simple (ilnk to current download here).

The plugin is based on previous modifications to the theme in combination with the custom fields we normally set for posts and pages as I was not very knowledgeable about the WordPress framework before and just needed some quick fixes for SEO. So that’s what I did before, but whoever knows me might know I’m kind of a perfectionist, so of course the SEO stuff should be in a plugin and not in the theme as that’s just where it belongs.

Anyhow, the whole WordPress plugin stuff just started with a suggestion from John to create a plugin to promote the project Inspiration for Success. So that’s where I started my mass mailer plugin with which I send the daily quotes that I think could also be useful for bloggers with a limited audience. That plugin still needs some fine tuning, for myself as well as for other users, but I’m using it and it basically suits my needs.

And so now we also have this little SEO plugin for setting titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords and I just installed it in the site to replace the theme changes and it seems to work fine.

And of course I hope it will be useful for others also, maybe even you.

Looking forward to your comments and feedback by the way, as this is just my thinking and there may be a lot more ideas around it.

Change my vibration

Leave a reply

After three days on working on the thirty day program from the Law of Attraction stuff I found myself this morning waking up in a very bad mood. And I know a bit where it comes from, but I don’t want to feel bad. Or do I?

I think this whole bad mood stuff started yesterday evening with the evening ritual before sleeping:

Segment intend the sleep and dream period.

Here is the way we would utilize our dreams most effectively. Before we go to sleep we would
say:

“I believe I will dream tonight. I will manifest while I sleep – so to speak. And if there is anything significant, I intend to recall it when I awaken. And then in the morning, the first thing that you do as soon as you are aware that you are back into physical consciousness, ask yourself: Did I dream? And if you did dream, then ask yourself even if its vague: Well, how did the dream feel? Because theres much more information coming to you in the way the dream feels than in the way it plays out.”

And I realized that I must have dreamed something ‘bad’, something ‘negative’. And yesterday I remembered I dreamed based on the evening ritual the night before. And that was weird as it was a long time ago I would remember dreams or having dreamed. So this program or these ideas do work, do have some kind of influence.

And I also found that this segment intending works. It gives you more control over situations, over how you feel about things.

So I even did it before writing this post. The process was something that I was feeling bad and wanted to change the feeling as I didn’t like the feeling. So my segment was ‘get myself together’. And the accomplishment was ‘write some kind of post to relax’. And the feeling I wanted to have was ‘tense but enthusiastic looking forward to feel happy and ok again’.

And imagine how I feel now? Indeed something like ‘tense, not so enthusiastic, but more happy and ok again’.

So I did change my vibration with deliberately creating a segment to do that.

Powerful, isn’t it? Maybe worth a try if you feel bad or want to change your feeling? As that’s what I’m starting to see more and more: we just want to feel good, that’s all.

Search and you will find

As I am not home and the laptop broke down and I don’t have any modern gadgets that have internet access like a table I had no option but to look for an internet cafe to send my daily quote and to post my daily posts. As I am in a big city not far from the center I just went to the hotel desk and asked where I could use the internet. There was one, but it was closed. Try tomorrow morning. As I wanted to do my daily posts I pushed a bit, but no solutions came from the people behind the front desk. I decided to try my luck and just roam around a bit. I thought I knew the area quite a bit from some time ago and an internet cafe could not be far. How wrong I was. It was very quiet outside and despite it is a big city the streets were almost deserted. Also most, or actually practically all shops and businesses around were closed. A bit scary, but I decided to push through.

There were a lot of taxi drivers around who tried to sell me a ride, but I didn’t feel like taking a taxi. I did get the hunch to ask one of them and he came with an answer, pointed a direction and it sounded like not too far away. So I decided to go and after a while I indeed found an internet cafe, probably the one that was pointed out to me. And I was very happy to have found it as it was a bit further than I expected and I was about to give up or find another way. So the post title is “Search and you will find”, but after writing it and starting to write the post I realized that I had done a little bit more than just searching and finding. First, I had the desire to do my daily inspiration for success things. Next I decided to gather some information, do research, ask. Then I made my plan and after that I took the action of implementing my plan. And while researching I was quite a bit persistent to get what I wanted and I was also persistent in continuing finding what I wanted to find by just walking a little bit further than I thought the distance would be.

I also realized I was careful to keep track of the road so I could go back to the hotel and also careful looking around for danger as it was quite late in a big city I’m not familiar with where it was a bit too quiet to be or feel fully safe. I also realized that Infinite Intelligence pointed me in the direction to ask a taxi driver and that the taxi driver I asked also had the right answer.

So maybe the principles of success are that simple and I even implemented them in a very natural way in this case. So for the bigger successes I”m looking for maybe I just need to scale it up a bit. Maybe that’s all.

White heat

Inspirational white heat

White heat desire, passion Just now I found a Retweet in my mailbox:

“To succeed… you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.” — Tony Dorsett.

And I was reading again about desire, passion in Think and Grow Rich earlier this morning:

You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities, unless you can work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and actually believe you will possess it.

And lately I notice with myself that that’s lacking, that I don’t feel passion, I don’t feel desire. And I’m starting to realize more and more that that’s what it’s all about: passion and desire. Or actually I even know for sure, as in another area in my life I achieved a great success, the greatest success ever, and that one is based on passion, on something i really want, something I really wanted, and something I believed I could do, believed it could happen. But it did! It really did happen!

So about my/our sample goal, the one million dollar through this site is not really moving, or, while writing this, is it? I know I don’t really have the desire yet, but basically everything is in place: the goal is there, dates are there, the plan is there, a Master Mind is there, some desire is there and I do believe it can be done. So maybe the only thing missing is the white heat desire, the passion.

Or isn’t it? Does it just take time? As another quote from the book just before the other quote says:

One must realize that all who have accummulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired money.

So I must be very close to get what I want, get what I, yes, desire, what I deserve. And just this action of writing helps me increase my belief, the belief that I can really do it.

So don’t give up, don’t give up hope, no matter how far you think you are from your goal. These type of things often just take time, which is not explicitly stated in the book(s), but I know now it just is.

So just be persistent, be patient! And you’ll get what you want and deserve!

Other white heat

I have often been wondering why this post scores relatively high in being found and having visitors as I once just wrote it related to inspiration and passion. So a few days ago I checked the internet and found that one of the reasons may be that there is movie called White Heat. And while checking right now there is a lot more called White Heat, even a relatively recent TV series. So more on that later.

The astonishing power of feelings

Leave a reply

Well, I continued reading Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings, the book I got two days ago and started reading. And I continued looking at myself, where I am and things like that. And it seems the ideas in the book might be exactly what I need now. And it seems like it’s all contrary to the ideas of Napoleon Hill, but it’s also not. Contrary is like ‘not focusing on actions, on doing’. Similar are ideas like desire and Infinite Intelligence. But in the end my feeling is it’s not all that different as Napoleon Hill starts with desire where Lynn Grabhorn starts with positive feelings. And Infinite Intelligence is not that far from or the same as things like Inner Self or Higher Self or things like that.

So the book is really inspiring to me and I’m looking for ways how to use all my knowledge about personal development or self help or inspiration or inspiration for success or success in a more compact way in the site. Something like exercises or summaries.

And still thinking about what the site should be exactly about. On my journey I end up in many self help sites, but I want Inspiration for Success to be an inspiring site, not a self help site. Inspiration sounds so much more positive, has so much more music in it than ‘self help’. And inspiration is also not the same as ‘self help’, although Inspiration for Success somehow has some ‘self help’ feel in it.

Anyhow, looking forward to your thoughts on this, on inspiration and what you would expect on a site to be inspired.
