Will the internet survive? That is the questions this book is asking. Future of the internet and how to stop it is sometimes do deep for normal internet users to follow. They are more interested in a cute iPhone or a fast typing Blackberry. But will they stand up to keep the internet free?

In France the government already wants to block some people from using the internet and Apple must approve every application that is allowed on the iPhone. Imagine if Intel or HP would say the same thing? In China they want to have a built in internet filter on every computer to block out porn or websites they find offensive.

Your internet as you know it as at risk and in the book you can read how you can help how to stop it.

As you can see we changed the “permalinks” in our blog. That means that we instead of using date/postname we just postname now as a link. All the old links will be found in the same place as before but starting from today all new once will have shorter URL.

If you wanted to try this with your WordPress blog you can use this plugin we really recommend it.

Just install the permalinks plugin and change the permalinks in your WordPress and you are set to go. No need to change anything else and even the plugin is a bit old it still work perfect.

I have a standard set of plugin to WordPress but since I am using a shared host I want to speed my WordPress blog up a notch. I started deleted some of the plug in that I have no idea what they do and that do not have been updated for a long time. It changed the speed down a few seconds right away.

Then I went to check on Google for other ways to speed up the blog and I found an old blog post on how to speed up WordPress. They suggested me the WP Cache 2 plugin for WordPress but it looks very outdated. http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/
I wonder why Google kicks up old posts in this constantly updated subject.

The second choice from Google was better it was 17 good ways to speed up your WordPress blog. But I think some of them are is for dedicated server and some are to advance for me.

I used some of the advice on the last page and then I went to WordPress plugin page and download the Hyper Cash plugin for WordPress. Now my blog is much faster just be deleting some old plug in and installing a new one.
