Translating Wordpress backend from English to Spanish
October 11th, 2009Somehow even though this should be a easy task I was unable to find out how can I switch language in Wordpress to Spanish language when I have already installed solution in English. There just seemed to be too much info about it, mostly focusing on frontend. I assumed that it would be via Plugins but I could not find any suitable plugin for (if you know one please let me know). Also it seems that I cannot do this in user level (User James would have in English and user Juan in Spanish) it looks like language setting is a global setting. Probably you need Wordpress-MU to do it in userlevel(?). Though, having languages in userlevel would be a nice feature as well as having ability to add new languages via plugins.
In any case. If you are struggling on the same issue as me, here is a short instructions how to switch Wordpress from English to something else take a look Manually Installing Language Files.
- Download .mo file for example Spanish language in here
- Drop it to /wp-content/languages/
- Modify wp-config.php
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’);
Designing Web Interfaces Book – O'Reilly Webcast
July 6th, 2009I just saw a very interesting slideshow about Designing Web Interfaces by Bill Scott in SlideShare. I suggest checking out if you are interested about GUI stuff.
Also you can see his whole presentation (1:24:33) on YouTube (Sound is not very good unfortunally). I have not yet watched whole presentation but it is on my calendar.

A quick lesson about the canonical tag/element
April 14th, 2009Ever wonder how can you be sure that search engines do understand what is real name of your page you want to index?
Now, you can simply add this <link> tag to specify your preferred version:
<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.example.com/product/123″ />
Matt Cutts of Google introduces the canonical link element.

VirtualBox 2.2 update loses network
April 12th, 2009I discovered today weird problem, not sure if it is related to my Windows XP setup or just a bug on VirtualBox but anyway I lost all network interfaces after updating from 2.1 version to 2.2 version. 
It is possible that the problem is in VMWare virtual network adapter because after I disabled VMWare virtual network adapters in Network Neighbourhood and re-run setup in repair mode it seemed to fix problem.
Anyway, Now I am happy VirtualBox user. I am still puzzled if I like it more than VMWare, maybe I do…
Update: as in 13th of April it seems that VirtualBox 2.2.0 build has many bugs. I recommend waiting bug fix patch for it before installing. Release 2.1 is much more stable. I recommend using it.
