This is the fastest way to remove the news from the wordpress admin dashboard.

Open up your favorite ftp program and connect to your blog.

In the wp-admin folder find the file index.php, make a backup of this file just in case u mess it up and you have to restore it later.

Now open up index.php and around line 15 you should find the following:

add_action( 'admin_head', 'index_js' );

Just comment out that line with double slashes like this:

//add_action( 'admin_head', 'index_js' );

Save the file and you`re done!

I only did this to my blog because I wanted to clean it up a bit.

Keep in mind that if you disable the news you will not see the latest updates from “WordPress Development Blog”. This can be a bad thing.

However, if you want to keep the “WordPress Development Blog” news and only disable the “Other WordPress News” do the following:

In stead of commenting out the line like told above, look for this:

jQuery('#planetnews').load('index-extra.php?jax=planetnews');

It should be around line 10. Just remove it, save the file and you`re done.

I only did this on Version 2.3 so if your version is prior to this it might not work exactly like this but you got the idea. It might not be the best way to do it but it`s the simplest and fastest for me.

Enjoy!

I was browsing the world and I found a website that allows its users to send free short messages to mobile phones worldwide. All you have to do is create an account and start sending. They offer 5 initial credits and an extra of 2 credits a day. One message costs one credit so this seems cool enough. You can even earn extra credits by inviting you friends to join the free sms world

I used their service twice and all seems to be, fine so I`m encouraging everyone that was looking for a service like this to join. The cool part is that all countries seem to be accepted so far. All you out there who were not able to use a free sms service provider in the past are in luck

Here`s the link :
Free World Wide SMS

Enjoy! I know I am

First make a new file called stats.txt and one called stats.php

Give write permission on the .txt file (CHMOD 666 or 777 if you don`t see a growing count)

php code for .php file

<?php
//set data file name/path
$data='stats.txt';
//read content fom the .txt file
$show = file_get_contents($data);
//write new content to the .txt file
$new=file_put_contents($data,$show+1);
//show your hit counter
echo $show;
?>

This is faster thran fopen() and if the data file dose not exists the script creates it, if it can.
