Need an Adsense plugin that just display Adsense ads only for the first post in your blog’s home page like you see here in this blog. Then use Adsense Inline. I discovered this plugin last week and is currently using it but not without an initial problem.

All this while before Adsense Inline, I had been using another Adsense plugin called Adsense Delux. This is a good plugin , however I also wanted just to display Adsense ads after my first post in my blog’s front page as I had sen in other people blogs. And I can’t do that with Adsense Delux as the plugin comes with a global setting where you either select ads to be shown or not shown in the home page. I then tried to fiddle around but in the end gave up unitl I read Joel Comm’s free ebook.

I read somewhere that an internet marketeer was so caught up with trouble shooting and solving his technical problems that his product launch was delayed. He said it’s better to let the technical guys handle technical problems rather than ourselves. Well that’s true, I know how it felt like trying to solve my own computer or website related problems.

However when you have no one to turn too, then we really do not have a choice. Take for example my recent experience. My host servers broke down making one of my blog non existence. Every thing is gone, however I have got a back up of the blog in my PC. The problem is I never know how to restore it. My blog made use of WordPress and I was determined to restore the blog. I went searching for answers in the internet. I did find the answers I wanted, however when I followed the steps mentioned, my blog was not showing up. Now this is when the frustration start, you read the steps again and again, you tried again and again, still you get the error page.

Well after a couple of hours I finally manage to restore the blog and this is what I learnt.

Came across a niffty firefox extension call justblogit from : Blog.warmbrain.com

This is a great tool and it’s something like blogit for those who are using blogspot blogs but this is designed for WordPress.

What is JustBlogIt?
JustBlogIt is a Mozilla / Firefox extension to allow easy right-click posting to a weblog. From any website your new blog post is only a right-click away.

How is JustBlogIt different from a other blogging bookmarklets or context-menu tools?
JustBlogIt supports posting to a variety of weblog system types and is not specific to just one. You can also use the Custom… setting to add any weblog type you want. More importantly, JustBlogIt supports seamless posting from within many web-based News Readers. JustBlogIt checks to see if you are trying to post from a News Reader and adapts the blogging data accordingly.

Updates 30/April/2006:-
This is such a convinient tool that I had been using for a while now. Recently I wanted to add a new blog and I can’t recall how to set this up in JustBlogit…well after finding it here and there I later foundout that the setting can be done from FireFox extension options. That’s all and this entry is to help me to remember.
