Subdomains VS Subdirectories
For you that host your website on your own domain name, there would be a time when you start thinking about creating a new group of information or simply trying to add a different website to your domain. And since a web-hosting service implements file management system (which involving files and folders), it is a common thing when people simply create a new folder to help them manage their content (and help others to see the differences).
Well, a well-organized web-hosting space is important, and yes creating a new folder to group things up is simply correct. But the way the search engine crawls your website is something that requires more of your consideration.
I landed on Matt Cutts’ explanation about subdomains and subdirectories in Google (read it here), and I learnt one conclusion;
If you’re simply trying to deliver a more-in-depth whatever your domain is talking about, then you can just create a new subdirectory (http://domain.com/folder)
Meanwhile, if you are creating a totally different website with content that doesn’t related to your primary domain name, then go for subdomain (http://subdomain.domain.com)
I found this is useful, because I am involved with numerous websites which sometimes required the right approach.

Solving Incoming Links Widget Problem in WordPress
If you are a WordPress user, then you’d probably notice the “Incoming Links” widget that reside in your Dashboard. Recently there’s been an issue with error message being displayed. Well, if you are looking for a solution, then read on.
The “Incoming Links” widget works by searching the web for any page that is linking to any page in your website (read my post about inbound link) And the way to do that is by taking advantage of the Google Blog Search.
By sending a GET request, one can get a search result in an RSS output. Then the WordPress engine (and its built-in function) will parse the RSS and show the result in widget that you can custom (how many records to show, etc.)
Well, if it’s a built-in functions, then why it’s not working?
Did WordPress made a flaw in the development phase?
