Hmmm… everything was working great in your WordPress installation, but one fine day you see that all your posts and pages got deleted. You might think that your blog is hacked or something. You will have a second thought that if someone got your password and deleted all the posts and pages. You might check your wordpress backup too (if you have one). But, all these things are of no use as there is no problem. It is just that your mysql tables are damaged and it needs repair. You should contact your web hosting providers and mention that the tables are damaged. They will repair from their end and all your posts/pages/comments and everything will come back to as it was before.

I have been in this blogging industry from almost three years and I have made money literally from many ways. But the most easiest is the display advertising, i.e. PPC and CPM ads, you install the ad code and hope to get clicks and impressions. But the most important thing is which ad size performs good for blogs. It is the 300 x 250 rectangle which takes the cake. It is the best revenue generator till date for all my blogs. The second comes the 728 x 90 leader board. These two ad formats have been performing great for all my blogs. The best part of these ad sizes is that they get mixed with the content and thus increases the chance of getting clicks. You can see these ads live in this post too. If you place these ads in the top rather than the bottom then again you are increasing your chances of getting clicks.

So, you are getting the an error: Could not create directory. /public_html while upgrading a plugin in wordpress. To fix this change the permissions of directory “upgrade” to 777 under wp-content.  If this did not work then, delete the directory “upgrade”, create a new one and set file permissions to 777. This will surely work.

Apart from being a great blogging platform WordPress has it’s cons. One of them is there is no option to disable the autosave in the core. Auto save option is actually not a bad thing. Most of the naive bloggers forget to save the draft and ultimately lose it. But, I found many issues while having this option. Some of the HTML tags gets disappeared just like that, some of the special characters gets inserted sometimes. To avoid all this you can simple use a plugin WP-CMS Post Control. Download, install and activate the plugin as usual and then click on “Post Control Core” under “Settings”. Check the option “Disable Autosave”, click on “Save”. You can also disable the revisions if you like. Thta’s it, this will prevent the annoying auto save option.
