I put together a short video on how to make your WordPress blog URLs search engine friendly. It’s a simple task, but can help you out tremendously in your effort to rank on the front page of the major search engines.
How it works: WordPress takes advantage of the .htacess file to do a URL re-write.
The default setting: http://www.trafficisgold.com/?p=123
I created a Youtube video to show how you can exclude a page from showing up in the Wordpress sidebar of your blog. I did a quick search on Google for a plug-in but was not able to find anything. If anyone knows of a plug-in please post on the blog.

The first thing you will need to do is edit the sidebar.php file. Do a search for the following function: wp_list_pages.

Next you will need to find the post ID for the page you want to exclude. Once you know this you will add this “&exclude=5” to your wp_list_pages function.
This is a simple how to video on future posting in WordPress. Why would you want to future post? There are several reasons. You may work a full time job where blogging is not an option. Therefore, you write several posts on your off time and “future post” them through out the week. Maybe you are going on vacation and want your readers to have fresh content even when you are miles away from a computer, sipping a Corona, getting a tan on some white sandy beach in Mexico. In any case, future posting is simple in the WordPress interface.
Here are the steps:
1. First write your post like normal
2. Before you publish set the date and time you want the post to appear.
3. Publish the post
4. The post will not appear until the date and time you designated
