Using the swekey on your blog
If you’ve downloaded the Swekey plugin and plan on using it for users to login here is what you might see.
The first image here shows what a user might see if and when you’ve got “allow registers” and said user has a Swekey plugged into there computer while registering to your site. I registered on a test blog I use, once I typed in my user name and email this pop up is what I saw. I checked ok, and another message stated that my swekey was now attached to my profile.
When I went to my profile I saw the Authentication section, where I could check or uncheck to use my Swekey that’s attached to my profile. Essentially with this enabled, I’ll I would have to do to login to the administration panel was have the usb with me, and at any public computer can pop it in and type in the address with out remembering my user name or password.
So.. I did a little test and this is what I saw. While logged into the admin panel, I pulled the usb key out and in a few seconds the page sent me to a “attempting to log out” page, and was unable to access the site until I put the swekey back in.

Beyond Twitter: Tweetsuite & Tweetbacks
Every one is aware of Twitter, I hope. Well there are many, many plugins for your WordPress that you can use. So I am not going to be like every one else and write a post with 3o twitter plugins for WordPress. I am just going to talk about one special plugin that is hitting the WP community.
Tweet Suite: a Twitter-WordPress integration plugin that includes the following features:
- Server-side (no-JS or remote calls) TweetBacks
- ReTweet-This buttons for each TweetBack
- A digg-like Tweet-This Button
- Automatic Tweeting of new posts
- A Most-Tweeted Widget
- A Recently-Tweeted Widget
- A My-Last-Tweets Widget
- A My-Favorite-Tweets Widget
You can see it in action at JeanaSays. I may even use this plugin on this site!!
Known Issues:
Seems as though this plugin is not compatible with this Google Analytics plugin. *Thanks to Shayne Sanderson for pointing this out.

How to: Creating an Archive page
Many weblog sites these days have some form of an archive page. In WordPress it might be the built in auto generation of permalinks by: /Month/
and /date/
.
But in some blog’s, for instance this one here (as I said in a previous post) you can’t get the post to paginate or link to http://youblog.com/page/2
if you have nice permalinks active or http://youblog.com/?paged=2
.
By any means, In this theme I have to have an archive link at the bottom. So..
Archive WordPress Plugins
There are many plugins which allows you to automatically create an archive page. The good thing is that you’ll (almost) have nothing to do, and the bad thing is that you may not be able to customize your archives much.
On this blog I have decided to use Clean Archives Reloaded by Viper007Bond. Which you can now see active in my Archive’s page.
If you want to use a plugin, here is a small list:
And of coarse you can always..
..do it your self!
First you would have to create a template file by writing this:
<?php /* Template Name: Archive page */ //please add you necessary code here //ie. your hooks and html code ?> <ol id="archive"> <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts(array( 'showposts' => 100, 'offset' => 10, 'order' =>'DES', 'paged' => $paged, )); $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false; if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php $tit = the_title('','',FALSE); echo substr($tit, 0, 25); ?>...</a> - Posted on <?php the_time('j F Y') ?> - Comments (<?php echo $post->comment_count ?>)</li> <?php endwhile; endif; ?> </ol> ?>
You may notice this code:
<?php $tit = the_title('','',FALSE); echo substr($tit, 0, 25); ?>
from a previous post!
Once saved and pasted it to your archives.php
or template-archives.php
file, upload it on your wp-content/themes/yourtheme/
directory.
Then, in WordPress dashboard, create a new page, name it “Archives” (or whatever you want) and select Archive page as your page template.
enjoy!
