Limit the Number of Pages in Your WordPress Navigation Bar

We will show you how to make specific pages show up in your navigation Structure.

Using the “include” function in WordPress you can specify the exact number of pages you want to show in your navigation.

Note -There are plugins which will order the pages for you, but I have not found any plugins which will limit the number of pages showing. Also page order plugins can slow down your page load.

Example: Show traffic is gold.
You need to edit the header.php file found here:
wp-content/themes/your-theme/header.php

Open the file with your favorite editor.
Search the file for “wp_list_pages”

The default should look like this:

Change to this

Upload the file and your site should only show the pages you’ve indicated.

The New in v1.1.1 of the TweetDeck iPhone App

Tweetdeck has introduced a new version of their Twitter iphone client. Watch the overview video here:

New features include
• Facebook integration
• Collect tweets in your immediate area based on geolocation.
• Upload video directly from the iphone to facebook
• Manage multiple Twitter accounts
• Cross post to multiple accounts, including Facebook.
• Turn popular twitter trends into search columns.
• Create Groups to easily follow all your friends.
• Share photos with Twitpic, YFrog and now TweetPhoto.

The one missing feature is the ability to filter tweets per column. The desktop version of Tweetdeck has this functionality and makes the application so powerful because it allows you to sort through all the noise on Twitter and get to the tweets that matter to you.

How to Add Your Twitter Tweets to LinkedIn Status Profile

http://twitter.com/trafficisgold Adding your Tweets to your Linkedin profile is easy to do. You no longer need third party applications to connect these two powerful social media sites.

This video will show you step by step, how to add your Tweet stream to your Linkedin profile status update.
One word of caution, if you tweet a lot you should select the option that only shows tweets that have the following #in tag (hash tag) in the tweet. Otherwise you run the risk of annoying people with your constant updates. I see this time and time again on Facebook. However facebook has a great hide feature. So if people tweet too much I just hide them.

Hope that Helps!
