Things I should avoid while making a WordPress site

I am new to WordPress. I want to build my own
site. This site will have a bit contact details, set
of photos and constant news update. I had done a small testing on my pc through which I am able to understand how it works. Now I want some things through which I can make my site secure. I am looking for common mistakes which are done by beginners that makes a site vulnerable and also remedies to stop them. I found some plugins on the same. Will that be enough.

Many people does not use a SEO plugin due to
which the site appear after a long time in search engine. If you need that your site appear fast and remain on the top side of search then use a good seo plugin. Wordpress has tons of free plugins to use.

After making site many forget to make a XML
sitemap. This makes search engines hard to find a site. Sometime when site is not indexed you can submit the sitemap and Google bots will crawl on the site.
So here you can use a plugin go generate a site map and then it is forwarded to the search engine. And there is a ready to use plugin for that. You can settle a time frame to regenerate the xml so that more new pages
can be indexed fast. This is very important. You
must do this when you are done with making
site.
The second thing you have to do is boost up valuable keyword in the post. Do not overload, just add only required. Keywords will make your article rich in quality and you can get
amazing output. You can go in the settings and
modify the blog titles. Make them in the form
post them so that it can be identified easily on
the web.

Go ahead with the plugin. Just search on web
how to secure wordpress and you will be able to find a tons of option about the same. Download and add any good plugin and done. You would be able to get the proper security on the same.

There are many things you can do to make your site more secure and better. Always limit access to certain files in the website. This makes it vulnerable. There some words press security scanner on web that will tell you which site is visible. You have to then block the same. It is essential that you must limit the access of files and avoid any issue with the same.
- Always keep a backup ready with you.
- When you have a backup you have less to worry about.
- Backup help you instant restoration whenever there is a crash or bug.
Backup is very important. You can download a copy and keep that on your pc. And whenever you thing some one has messed with your site you can restore the same.

After when you are don with building your site
you can go ahead using WordPress security
plugins. There are many of them available. You
can use AntiVirus plugin for the site which can
help you to check for any vulnerability.

There are plugins. Find out the best one and
use it. Don't use multiple. If you try using
multiple one then you can face issue. Some of
theme are paid which are far more secure and
smart enough to protect your site for hacks and cracks.
Hope you find this interesting?.
Thanks for reading.

How to Fix Cannot Play DVD Error on Window

In our modern computer age with Windows 7 and Windows 8, you can still receive an error like “Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is problem with digital copy protection” when you’re trying to watch a regular from Netflix on your computer?
Thanks for reading.

It’s really a pain that something like that doesn’t just “work” considering it’s VERY
COMMON for people to watch DVDs on their
computers!
Anyway, this happened to a friend of mine last night and it took me some minutes to fix the problem, so I thought i would write up how I ended up fixing it!
Hopefully, you read this before thinking
it’s some problem with Windows or with your
DVD drive, etc as I have seen some people re-
install Windows or get a new DVD drive because of this error!
Actually, the problem all comes down to
something called "codecs". Codecs are small
pieces of software that can decode the material on a DVD. Whenever a DVD is created, especially new one with copyright protection software installed on them, the content of the DVD is encoded using algorithms into a special format.
This encoded data cannot be played on your
computer in its normal format, so it has to be
DECODED on your computer before it plays.
You may have heard of DivX , which is a codec
that allows people to compress full-length DVDs onto a CD without losing much of its original image quality. Some software DVD players will auto-download the required codecs for you and hence you won’t have this problem, but for some reason Windows Media Players sucks at this and will pop up with the error message.
If you have a Blu-ray drive and are trying to play a Blu-ray disc in Windows Media Player, the same thing applies. Windows Media Player, by default, cannot play Blu-ray discs like it can
DVDs, so you have to install the correct codecs
to get them to play in Windows Media Player.

Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4

You can download all of the codecs for just
about any type of video format by going to Free-Codecs.com and downloading the X Codec Pack or the K-Lite Codec Pack. You’ll see them both listed, one on the first page and the other on the second page. Simply ignore all the items that are grayed out as they are obsolete.
My suggestion would be to go ahead and install
the K-Lite Codec Pack 10.x.x Full, Standard, and
Basic package onto your system if you are
running Windows 7 or Windows 8. This codec
pack supports 64-bit also, so don’t worry about
the K-Lite Code Pack 64-bit because development of that has been discontinued.
You could install X Codec Pack also for Windows
7 and Windows 8, but K-Lite seems to be the
more popular choice with almost 247 million
downloads! If you have enough space on your
system, I would recommend installing the Full
code pack rather than Standard or Basic . That
way you can play any video file your throw at it
and don’t have to worry about installing more
codecs at a later point.
As for Blu-ray drives and discs, if Windows Media Player is not able to play the disc even with the codecs installed, you may have to try install something like VLC from VideoLAN. Actually, if you don’t mind installing VLC, it might be worth trying to play the disc using VLC first before installing a codec pack because VLC can play many formats without additional software. Also, make sure you have a drive that can read Blu-ray discs.
Thanks for reading.
