Do you use smilies in your posts?
To include smilies in Wordpress is actually quite easy: simply type out the punctuation marks

Ooo… so that’s how John Chow does his twisted evil smiles!

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in eastwoodzhao.com/wp-includes/widgets.php:15) in eastwoodzhao.com/wp-content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php on line 42
Is that what you saw after upgrading to WordPress 2.3 and activating your Automattic Widgets Plugin?
The problem, obviously, lies within the Widgets plugin. The solution is beyond simple. No worries! With version 2.3, Widgets are automatically included within the WordPress backbone. That’s why when you try to activate an existing Widget plugin, it gives you an error message and tells you that the plugin is already running. All you have to do now, is to remove the Widgets plugin from the “Plugins” folder and carry on with your blogging.

Here is it! After struggling for quite a bit, I finally managed to implement this new Wordpress theme.
What do I like about this theme over the previous ones I’ve had? This has 3-columns, really giving me a lot of room to expand with ads and larger images.
I’d really like to hear from you! What do you think of this theme? How can I improve it?

If you were to type eastwoodzhao.com into your browser, you would be redirected automatically over to www.eastwoodzhao.com
How is that important for your website & domain name, SEO (Search Engine Optimization)-wise?
Search engines often regard www.eastwoodzhao.com and eastwoodzhao.com as two different websites unless you take specific measures to signal to them that they are the same site.
The best way to handle this situation is to setup what is known as a permanent redirect (or a “301″ redirect) from one of these sites to the other. This way, any links that are pointing to the secondary site benefit the primary site, from an SEO perspective.
If a site does not have permanent redirect, it may be experiencing the negative effects of link fragmentation (some of the inbound links may point to www.eastwoodzhao.com and others to eastwoodzhao.com) By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website.
A Simple Solution
You don’t have to go into .htaccess files and tweak redirections there if you’re using a Wordpress blog. There’s a simple Permalink Redirect Wordpress Plugin. All it takes is to upload this easy-to-use plugin, and you’re ready to go!
