How to Change Upload URL into SEO Friendly Links
For more blogging tutorial visit here. For how to make money online visit here
Whatever (files, images or videos) you’ve uploaded s into a self-hosted wordpress, the link path into those files is not pretty. It’ll look like this (in my case): http://fatihsyuhud.com/wp-content/uploads/year/month/image.jpg
From esthetical and SEO perspective, this kind of link is not good. The good one should be like this: http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/images.jpg or http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/video.avi or http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/cpns_deplu.pdf, etc
Fortunately, you can easily change that not-SEO friendly link into the one which is not only pretty but also would help you optimize it in the search result pages.
Here’s how:
1. After login, click SETTING -> MiSCELLANEOUS.
2. In the “Store uploads in this folder” -> delete “wp-content/uploads” and change it into “downloads”
3. Unchecked the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”
4. Click -> Save Changes. Done.
Now you have a pretty uploaded URL path. Your uploaded file from now on will look like: http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/files.pdf, etc..
See the live demo here. (look at the link path URL)
Notes:
1. You may change the word “downloads” into whatever names you want. Wordpress.com uses “files” instead of “downloads”.
2. If you’ve uploaded some images before this change, don’t worry. The previous url address will not change. It will change only the future uploaded links.

How to Quit Smoking
I, finally and officially, Quit Smoking and today is the seventh day. 21 March 2008 was the starting day.
It’s been a long while that the intention and willingness to call it a day emerged. What I need was a momentum to start afresh the whole thing. Includng to begin leaving the “chain-smoker” label behind.
And when the moment came, I took it with both hand. Now, it’s the seventh day I live without any cigarette smokes filling my lung. Some friends amazed, surprised and shocked. But it’s just natural to go from one extreme to another if you’re determined to do so. Nothing is impossible.

Notes:
- The plus point of wordpress.com compared to blogger.com are (1) comment friendly: visitors easily can make a comment because the comment box shown prominently below a particular posting / article. Those who like many comments in their posts may find this blog suitable for them;
(2) The latest posts will come up several minutes in the Dashboard of every wordpress.com users, and if a particular post/arcticle attracts much traffic it’ll have a chance to be at BOTD (best post of the day) that is top ten articles / posts that attract the most traffics of the day will be placed in all wordpress.com users dasboard in a language that one chooses. For example, if you choose an Arabic language, you will only see the Best of the Day in Arabic only. - The minus point of wordpress.com compared to blogger.com / blogspot is: you cannot put any javascript in a wordpress.com blog. Meaning, you cannot put any ads such as AdSense, Chitika, guestbook, or anything that use javascript. This should not be a problem for blogger who just want to blog / write; who don’t have any intention to monetize i.e. to earn money from blogs.
