Display your AIM/iChat Status On Your Website

Posted on 19 September 2007 in Macintosh Tips & Help, Wordpress | 6 Comments »

Here’s the how to display your iChat Status like this one (you also see it in action here):

iChat Status


On your website insert this line of code:

1
2
<a title="aim:AIM_ACCOUNT" href="aim:goim?screenname=AIM_ACCOUNT">
<img src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/AIM_ACCOUNT?on_url=http://ONLINE_IMAGE_LINK&amp;off_url=OFFLINE_IMAGE_LINK" alt="iChat Status" /></a>

You have to replace the AIM_ACCOUNT with your AIM screename or iChat screename; example: steve@mac.com
And you have to replace ONLINE_IMAGE_LINK & OFFLINE_IMAGE_LINK with the path to your online and offline images.

Publicize Your Feeds

Posted on 20 August 2007 in Wordpress | No Comments »

If you’d like to increase your audience, you gotta have more subscribers to your RSS feed.

You can add the feed link to your blog’s head meta so that it can be auto-found by feed subscription software. This is incredibly simple to do and only takes a few minutes if it’s not already in place for your blog.

Add the following code between the <head> and </head> of your blog’s theme:

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Title of your Feed” href=”http://www.link.com/to/your/feed.xml” />

For the WordPress users, you can add the following (most themes already come with it enabled, no need to have it twice):

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(’name’); ?>” href=”<?php bloginfo(’rss2_url’); ?>” />

I Signed Up For PPP!

Mac Amour today joined an advertising program called PPP.

I fell in love for this service because it rewards your work and time on a blog with money.
I really like PayPerPost because of the friendly interface an alerts. Many tools are here for bloggers and advertisers to make them “meet” and take their blogging work together in an easy way.Many bloggers earned a lot of money with ads on blogs thanks to PPP.

And for me it’s fair for a blogger to get that reward.
