The Title section in Header.php contains the codes which displays your WordPress title. This is important because search engine listings will display your post title followed by a description of your post. I began to notice that all of my listings had the words Blog Archive in them which was unneccesary and caused part of the titles displayed to be cut off.

To remove the words Blog Archive, do this:

1. Log into your self hosted WordPress blog and click Presentation
2. Click on Theme Editor
3. On the right handside of your browser window, select Header from the list of theme files
4. Look for this line of code just a few lines from the top.<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
5. Remove this section => <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?>

   The remaining portion should look like this:

   <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

I use the excellent Dean’s FCKEditor for WordPress plugin to replace the default WordPress text editor which is really crummy. However, one of the drawbacks of the FCKEditor is its image manager which does not automatically create image thumbnails when you upload pictures. The developers of FCKEditor has already decided not to include thumbnail creation ability, opting instead for CKFinder, is a commercial file manager plugin for FCKEditor.

Fortunately, there is a free image manager plugin for FCKEditor that can create thumbnails! Saulmade has made (pun intended) an open source image manager plugin that enables thumbnails to be autocreated from within FCKEditor. Use the link above to download the plugin or visit his site at http://www.saulmade.nl/ FCKeditor/FCKPlugins.php for more information. The installation instructions on Saulmade’s site is for general installations of FCKEditor. Installation of FCKEditor for WordPress is slightly different.

I’ve included the installation instructions below for Dean’s FCKEditor for WordPress plugin:

SETTING UP THE IMAGE MANAGER PLUGIN:

1. Extract the ImageManager folder from the zip file to the FCKEditor for WordPress plugins directory. The folder should be copied to  /public_html/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor_for_wordpress/ fckeditor/editor/plugins/
   if you installed WordPress to the root directory.
2. Edit the file ‘config.inc.php‘ in the ImageManager folder to configure the plugin. The config.inc.php file contains all the configuration settings for the image manager plugin such as where to store the thumbnails and images, thumbnail prefixes, whether eding and uploading is allowed, etc.
3. Edit the file ‘fckplugin.js‘ in the ImageManager folder to set the language for the plugin and to directEdit option. I’m not too sure what directEdit is for, so I left it as ‘false’.
