These horses are somehow not cool. Speeding up your blog is.
I am working on a WordPress project that has a pretty heavy database, and I want to be able to auto-optimize the WordPress database. Even though they are integrating this functionality into WordPress 3.0, I want it now, and without having to use a plugin (I have had some issues with WP-DBManager configuring properly on a few sites).
If you add the following code to your functions.php file, it will automatically optimize your WordPress database every 6 hours, keeping it squeaky clean. Read more&hellip

While working on a recent website, I became frustrated by the lack of nofollow support in many WordPress functions. Make that, most WordPress functions.
There are a few WP functions that I wanted to add nofollow to, so here’s a list and a download link: Read more&hellip
