Redesign

Over the next few weeks I am going to be completely redesigning the whole of TheTutorialBlog so that it is a lot more user friendly. From that point on I will be creating high quality video tutorials very often so that they are easy to follow and viewers learn more.

I may also be interested in having other people write tutorials and create screencasts; so please get in touch if you think you are capable of doing this.

A Basic PHP Statistics Script

In this tutorial you will learn about writing information to a text file and then retrieving the information you wrote to the text file. Retrieving the files that are in a directory and about arrays.

This is a quite basic script and there isn't much to write about it so if there is something that you don't understand look the function up within the PHP manual online.

Boosting traffic to your website with submission websites

There are many ways of getting traffic to your website such as with search engines, social network websites and telling friends. The best way that I have found besides search engines of getting traffic to your website is by submitting your tutorials to tutorial submission websites.

There are tutorial websites that allow for submission of specific tutorials such as only PHP or Photoshop tutorials and there are websites that allow you to submit a lot of different types of tutorials to that website.


CodeBounce is one of the tutorial submission websites that allow you to submit a range of different tutorials. Its system is somewhat similar to that of Digg's. CodeBounce is a great website and is easy to get to grips with. They allow for the submission of ASP.NET, PHP, CSS, Photoshop, Wordpress, Graphic Design, Web Design and Java.

Creating a Wordpress plugin

The plugin that I'm going to show you how to create within this post is a plugin that I created for MakeUseOf.

Creating plugins for WP is relatively easy and uses actions to call functions that are included in pages within the main WP files. To learn more about creating plugins for WP go here.

Ok so lets get started with creating the plugin.

When creating a plugin for WP make sure that you include your own unique word or acronym to your functions so that they don't conflict with any other plugins that may be installed.

Because I created this for MakeUseOf the acronym I use is MUO and then AF because I named the plugin author footer so every function within this plugin begins with MUO_AF.

PHP One Line IF Statement

I'm sure if you've been programming for a few years that you've come across when you need to check if something equals something than do something else a few times.

Well the best way to do this is like so.

Say for example we have a variable called $num and the value of it is 5.
