    February 18: WordPress and Statistics 

    Join us Thursday, February 18 to talk about statistics: what programs can you use, what are the benefits and drawbacks of each, and what can they tell you that’s really useful?

    Chris O’Rourke will join us to talk about Mint. We’ll also look at the WP-Stats plugin, Google Analytics and Woopra. Do you use any of these, or something else entirely? Bring your expertise and/or your questions, and let’s talk!

    As always, 6:00 p.m. at Webtrends, 951 SW Sixth Avenue, Suite 600. You may need to have the security guard enter an elevator code if you arrive after 6:00. RSVP on Upcoming.

    WordPress 2.8.5 and All In One SEO Pack 

    If you’ve logged in to your admin screen lately, you should have see a notice that “WordPress 2.8.5 is available! Please update now.”  It’s not a major update. WordPress is calling it a “hardening” release; it’s basically a security update.

    I updated plugins at the same time I updated to 2.8.5 on TechnoEarthMama, and  All in One SEO Pack was one of those with an update. Some people have gotten 502 errors recently after updating this plugin; I got one when I tried to go to the plugin’s admin screen to update options. I simply deactivated and reactivated the plugin, and everything was fine after that, but if it’s still not working for you,  Devin Price tweeted a post on the WordPress.org forums which offers another solution. It does require editing the plugin. Also, don’t forget that there’s a radio button you need to click on the All in One SEO Pack settings page to enable the plugin (in addition to activating the plugin through WordPress).

    Finally, if you’re interested, you can find out more about the changes coming in WordPress 2.9 over at ShanKrila (thanks to Kelly Guimont for the tip).

      Kathleen,

      Thanks for the tip on the All in One SEO Pack plugin issues. Plus, a huge hi-five for a link to my WP 2.9 post. Glad you liked it!

      I would like to recommend the Platinum SEO Pack, it has more useful options than the all in one seo pack. There are more nofollow selections, additional post, page and home headers, you can nofollow all of the outgoing links on just the front page, you can add the noydir meta tag, the noodp meta tag, you can use the option for noindex on sub pages and my favorite option of all is all of the options that it gives you on each individual post and page of your wordpress blog.

      Those are just a few of the things that I can think of off the top of my head. The fact of the matter is that I have used both and have found that I am in greater control of my websites on-page seo than when I was using the All in One SEO Pack.

    May 14 Meeting Agenda – Plugins, Questions & One Free Pass to OSBridge! 

    We’d love to see you at this month’s Portland WordPress User Group meeting tomorrow at Webtrends. We’ll be talking about plugins: the good, the bad and the ugly. Come prepared to talk about the plugins you use and love, or share with us the plugins you may have flirted with – but it just didn’t end well. Plus — are you a plugin junkie? How to tell you might be heading for trouble.

    We’ll also get an update about September’s WordCamp conference from Aaron Hockley, and get a preview of the conference space itself. We’ll leave time for questions – I know one member will want to talk about a way to use WordPress to handle calendars, event registration and PayPal integration.

    And if that’s not enough of an incentive? We also have a free Open Source Bridge conference pass to give away to one lucky attendee, plus discount registration codes for everyone else. (Of course, you’ll have to be there tomorrow night in order to win and/or get the registration codes.)

    Meeting details as follows…

    When: Thursday, May 14th. 6:00-7:30 pm
    Where: WebTrends (map)
    851 SW 6th Ave # 600
    Portland, OR 97204
    Meeting details: Calagator
    RSVP on Upcoming

    Please join us!

    Early heads-up: next month’s meeting (scheduled for Thursday, 6/18) will be at Open Source Bridge – we’re going to take over the Hacker Lounge at 6 pm!
