What is a Google Wave?

Google Wave is an online software application product of Google, described as a personal communication and collaboration tool. It was first announced at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009. It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, spelling/grammar checking, automated translation among 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a preview release of Google Wave was extended to 100,000 users in September 2009, each allowed to invite additional users. On the 29th of November 2009, Google accepted most requests submitted soon after the extended release of the technical preview in September 2009.

Count Number of Words in a Sentence using ASP

October 16, 2009

There is no function in ASP to count number of words in sentence or long string. Bellow is very simple function that count number of words and return that count.

< %
Function CountWords (StrValue)
  Dim iWords, mLengthWithSpaces, mLengthWithoutSpaces

  ' following line calculate the actual length of string
  mLengthWithSpaces = Len(StrValue)

  ' following line remove all spaces from string and then calculate the length of string
  mLengthWithoutSpaces = Len(Replace(StrValue, " ", ""))

  ' subtract length (without spaces) from actual string length
  iWords = mLengthWithSpaces - mLengthWithoutSpaces

  CountWords = iWords + 1
End Function

'example
Msg = "This is text string"
Response.Write CountWords(Msg)

'output will be 4
%>

1. Change your admin Password

   You must have to change the password of administrator account that you can remember because it is too difficult to remember WordPress default password. You should go to “Your Profile” for change default password and other profile information.

2. Always use latest copy of WordPress

   Make sure your WordPress is up-to-date, if not you should update your WordPress copy by using FTP or use Automatically Upgrade option.

3. Change WordPress defaut theme

   You should change WordPress defaut theme to your favorite WordPrese themes. Download WordPress Themes Free

4. Change the format of your blog your

   By default WordPress offers the url format that is not SEO friendly, You should change it using “Settings > Permalinks” links and choose the url that you like or want. But remember, after choosing url you’ll have to check either your selected url format is working or not because in linux hosting most of the format are applicable but in windows hosting many format except WordPress suggested url format will not work.

5. Activating Akismet

   Do you want to avoid SPAM? I know you do avoid. Just activate Akismet pluging as wordpress is already installed it for you. Akismet is one of the best effective solution to avoid SPAM. To activate this plugin you’ll have to get WordPress API Key from wordpress.org. Create your account there and get an API key.

6. Setup statistical tools

   You always want to know who came on your site on which keyword and from which search engine. There are many free statistical tools on web but I like two of them: StatCounter and Google Analytics.

7. Create a Sitemap

   Do you really want to search engine get all webpages spiderd of your website. You should create sitemap. For that purpose you may have to use feedburner and Google XML Sitemap.

8. Activation of the site in Google Webmaster Tools

   Do you want to target your website in specific region or just want to see how many other websites are linked to your website and your top keywords in google search engine then you should use Google webmaster tool.

9. Change the image size

   Depending on your theme, you’ll have to change default image size that you want to upload with your article, it is convenient and also allows to manage thumbnails which is important if you use image galleries using the thumbs.

10. Install additional plugins
