So, lot more short posts ahead.

Friday, April 3rd, 2009SMS Updates on my WordPress Blog posts
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009Google SMS Labs now enables me to create channel and update anyone or a particular group of members (by invitation) with SMS alerts. I created a Channel called SHALINJAIN. So, whenever I update my blog you would get a SMS with brief description about the post. It is almost realtime.
The invitation process is really simple. If you already have a GMAIL or Google Account just clicking one button would do the needful.

You can also create your own channels and keep your group updated about anything! The best part is – the service comes free. Give it a shot.
Moving WordPress Blog to a new web host
Monday, December 29th, 2008It is fairly simple to move a wordpress blog across servers. In fact, I just did that. I gave up on my old host and am now hosting on Rackspace Network. Here is quick checklist:
Move WordPress Installation
- Download all the scripts – You can skip a cache folder under the wp-content directory
- Go to your existing web hosts PHPMyAdmin page to download your Database as a SQL file.
- Create a new MySQL database with your NEW web host and import this SQL file.
- Upload your scripts to the new web host
- Open wp-config.php and modify the database name, hostname, password accordingly
- Change the DNS at your domain registration service provider, as required
- That’s it!
Most time is consumed in downloading and uploading the files. Everything else is quick. It is really simple to manage and move your wordpress blog if you need to do so. (This is also my test post after moving!)
