Aleeya dotNet

While re-creating aleeya.net, one thing I noticed in WP 2 is that pages do not have trackbacks like posts do. I am not quite sure why though, since many times I created a page that I wanted to give credit to someone using a trackback.

While searching and trying to figure out how to do this, I ran across a great plugin that is easy to install and does just this.

Slate at masterslate.org has created a plugin that solves the problems with pages not having trackbacks. You can read about this plugin and download it from the masterslate.org website. This is simple to install.. you just download it into your plugins directory and activate it. Next time you go to create a page you have an entry for trackbacks in your page write admin. Great job slate!

As Aleeya.net makes the Move from WordPress 1.5 to 2.0, one of the best plugins I have found to help Search Engines, SEO and my site is Dagon Design Sitemap Generator by Aleister. I run this along with Google Sitemaps generator. I link to the Dagon Design Sitemap on my pages in the Sitemap link of the navigation so the search engines will crawl the link of my Sitemap (Google as well as others).

Also, I use Dagon Design Sitemap Generator as a 404 page so when people come to the site if there is an outdated link, they can view all the pages on the site instead of just a page saying its not found. This increases the chance someone will see something else they like as well as a search engine crawling links.
