Sitemaps are a way to tell Google, Bing and other search engines about web pages, images and video content on your site that they may otherwise not discover. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

The Image Sitemap plugin will generate a sitemap for your WordPress blog with all the image URLs that are used in your posts and pages.

Why its important ?

If a page on your site has multiple images, Google may have a problem identifying which among them is the most relevant image for the content of that page.

How to Generate Image Sitemaps ?

If you have a WordPress site, you can use the XML Sitemaps plugin to automatically generate an image sitemap with a click.

Recently I interviewed Marko Drapić from ThisBlogRules and asked few questions to him related to his blogging life and personal life.

Marko is one of the top funny blogger around in the blogging arena. After seeing same things again and again circulating on web, it’s refreshing to find one site dedicated to surfing for things others don’t.

Marko Drapić

Q1. When did you start blogging? What were your original plans for your blog and why did you start blogging?

Ans. I started blogging 3 years ago, but I made some websites before that. My plan was to be successful and to run a big and famous blog, simple as that.

Q2. Why did you opt for this niche?

Ans. This is the niche I personally know the best. I represent creative stuff that I like to millions of people out there, and also humorous photos, movies and great photography are a part of this. That’s all I want to do when I’m online.

Q3. From where you got idea of the killer domain “thisblogrules.com“?

Ans. The true story is that I was not so happy with this domain to begin with but later on I started to like it. It’s catchy, easy to remember and brandable.

Q4. Can humorous content be another way to gain both great links and get people to talk about your site?

Ans. First of all content must have quality, have to be unique, and links and traffic will eventually come.

Q5. What is your favorite blogging tool or the tool you couldn’t live without?

Ans. That has to be Photoshop. It is important to me as the Internet browser that I am using. Every photo on my blog, and there is almost 3,000 of them, is edited and fixed by me. About plug-ins WP Super Cache is very important, and I know my hosting service couldn’t live without it.

Q6. What tips would you give new bloggers to help them start out on a path to success?

Ans. Work, work and work. Don’t give up. Be unique; don’t just copy other successful blogs. Make your blog design simple and clean. Have good relationship with your fans on facebook and twitter. Be professional and update your blog often and results will come.

Q7. One of the hardest things for beginner bloggers is getting traffic. What tips can you give bloggers to drive traffic to a new blog?

Ans. Social bookmark and social news sites. Also there are a lot of traffic exchange services nowadays and you have to use them clever. As I already said, uniqueness and quality content is the key to success.

Q8. What are your three favorite blogs to read? What makes those blogs special?

Actually I don’t follow blogs. I check out some blogs of my friends from time to time, and the only site I visit daily is reddit.

Q9. What’s your top success & dream success in blogging?

Ans. I’m happy how things are going at the moment, but it can always be better. I was featured on Yahoo news, Askmen, NY Post, German Financial Times, MTV and on media from Brazil, Belgium, Greece, Croatia, Denmark and many more. I guess my dream is to have steady 10 million hits per month.

Now moving to some personal questions

Q10. What else do you do aside from blogging?

Ans. I work a lot and don’t have much spare time. I have several other projects on web and much more plans. I wish sometimes that a day could last for 50 hours so I could finish everything that I want to. Still, I like to relax with my girlfriend and our puppy Louie, travel, go to restaurants, football matches and to shop.

Q11. Which quote explains you more “Behind every successful man,there is a woman” or “Behind every successful man,there is a BLOG” (Can you explain too) ?

Ans. Definitely my woman Sanja. She is the greatest. I like to call her the chief creative officer of TBR. She writes the most amazing stories for TBR and other big blogs. Even if she graduated to be HR manager she is quite excited to be working on web.

Q12. Where do you want to be in 3-5 years time?

Ans. I don’t know what city and country we will be in, because everything is possible for us. Main objective is business and the upcoming projects.

Q13. If you are a God what would you do to the world?

Ans. That’s an easy one, I would make world peace.

Q14. How do you party, or hang out with your friends?

Ans. You have to see it to believe it. We party hard, especially my friends. We like to gather at weekends at mine or the other’s apartment, have some drinks and hit some night clubs.

Q15. What was the last movie you went to see?

Ans. I think it was “Timecrimes”. It was kind of weird but fun.

Q16. Can you share some pics that are not available on net till now?

Ans. Here you go, our Boston terrier puppy, a master brain behind thisblogrules.com

Q17. In the end would you like to add something?

Ans. Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure it just means you haven’t succeeded yet.

I’d like to thank the Marko for the time and effort taken to answer my questions. You’re a truly remarkable and unique individual – thank you for sharing your views with the TechPaparazzi readers!

->Facebook now has 500 million active users, the company said on Wednesday.

->Then why it limits us to 5000 friends?

Facebook caps the number of friends you can have at 5000. A little research revealed that officially, the policy is designed to make sure people befriend real people and that 5000 is considered a reasonable ceiling for even the most gregarious of people. Other sources say the limit is due to some “back-end” technical reason.  But apparently, it’s not reasonable for everyone. The New York Post profiles several people who’ve reached their limit. One of them admits he only knows about 500 of his 5000 friends

While there’s no doubt that computers and digital files are very handy, they’re certainly not infallible. What happens if you’re hard drive crashes, or thieves steal your laptop.

Backup has been evolving steadily for over 60 years. And just when we think we’ve solved every problem, new technology comes along to present us with new challenges.

Cloud Storage

Since disk is so unstable, companies would have to make copies of their backups on tape for long-term storage. This was inconvenient because tape required special hardware, lots of manual labour, and it had to be hauled off for off-site storage. Also, tape could be stolen or damaged… so it was far from perfect.

Now, cloud storage (such as online backup) allows companies to automate the process of moving these files off-site. It’s more secure than tape, and there is less chance of damage since most cloud providers will also make backup copies of your backups.

Disk-To-Disk

Unexpected downtime is expensive and embarrassing. That’s why more companies are opting to make 2 backups every night.

• One to tape for off-site archiving or storage
• One to disk for fast on-site recovery

Disk-To-Disk-To-Cloud (D2D2C)

As we’d mentioned earlier, unexpected downtime can do a lot of damage in a short period. This is especially true for larger companies.

In order to minimize this possibility, many companies are opting for a D2D2C backup methodology. First, the data is backed up to a secondary system, and then those backups are transferred to a remote facility over the internet.

In the event of a minor crash, the data can be quickly recovered from the on-site disk copy. And for more serious disasters, the data can be downloaded from the remote cloud server.

Compression

Data production is growing out of control. We’re producing and sending more files than ever, and these files are also getting larger. More data means longer backup windows. New compression technologies like deduplication will help squeeze out redundant or duplicate information in order to greatly speed up the backup process and reduce storage costs.

Vurtualization

With Virtualization, servers are treated as a software “object”, rather than a physical device. You might have 4 virtualized servers running on a single box, or 1 server running across 4 physical boxes.

This means that companies can be “geographically resilient”. If one of the physical devices should crash, the other machines will compensate and ensure that the applications continue running.

Archiving

Archiving is not a new concept, but it’s gained new importance because of new information privacy laws and the exponential growth of data storage requirements.

Because data is growing so fast, constantly upgrading servers is not a practical option. Instead, companies need to set up policies for taking under-used data off of production machines while ensuring that it can be quickly accessed and searched when needed.

Continuous Data Protection

There was a time when companies could afford to only produce daily or weekly backups. But as we become more dependent on information, our tolerance for data loss is also diminishing.

“Continuous Data Protection” describes the practice of backing up files every time somebody saves a document, eliminating the possibility of any data loss whatsoever. Online backup technology also ensures that these backup changes are instantly taken off-site and securely stored in a remote facility.

Introducing real-life gadgets that trounce some of 007’s most outrageous toys. Spies are everywhere these days, With so many secret agents–both real and fictional–in the public consciousness these days, PCWorld.com thought a short list of high-tech spy gear was in order.

1. Remote Monitoring

What do these household items have in common? They’re bugged! The Small B/W Wall Clock Camera, model C1390B24 (lower left, $276) has a black-and-white camera hidden inside, while the Air Freshener 3G Camera, model CX300MC-A (lower middle, $720) has a color camera inside plus a SIM card that lets you watch the live video feed on a 3G phone. The Power Strip Hidden Audio Monitoring Device (upper left, $1209) is also rigged with a SIM card and a microphone, so you can dial in and listen to conversations. For $100 more, you can get a version that calls you when it detects voices in the room.

2. Spy Cams

Tiny cameras that record on the sly can be hidden in all sorts of objects. Here we see (left to right) we seethe Spy Pen Camera ($30), which lets you download 640-by-480 video and audio recorded on the built-in 4GB memory straight onto your computer; the Button Camera ($129), featuring three styles of button covers with matching real buttons for the rest of your jacket or shirt; the Key Ring Spy Camera ($102) with built-in microphone; and the dressy Tie Camera ($252), which can share a power supply with the optional Covert Video Recorder ($389).

3. Cellular Jammers

Need to scramble a cellular signal and thereby render nearby cellphones’ calling capabilities useless, so your evil-empire nemesis can’t deliver his latest intelligence update to the homeland at the appointed hour? The High Power Portable Jammer (left, $205) isn’t covert, but it can scramble signals at distances of up to 60 feet away. The 3G Mini Cell Jammer (right, $199) promises to scramble cell signals for 3G, UMTS, CDMA, and GSM networks within a range of up to 32 feet.

4.Keyloggers

When you can’t crack the encryption code on some secret plans locked away in a computer file, your only other option is to identify the user’s password and use that to access to the information in unencrypted form. That’s when spies (and paranoid spouses) turn to keyloggers, which record every keystroke that a user enters on a specific computer.

5. GPS Trackers

The PTXTrak Real-Time GPS Tracking Device (left, $470) transmits the location of a car or person every 10 seconds (if driving) or every 20 feet (if walking), while you watch on a Web-based map. The Mini GPS Logger (right, $288) records and stores–on the device itself–the route, stop time, speed, direction, and altitude of a moving object. Subsequently you can retrieve the data and download it to a computer via USB.

6. Document Scanners

PlanOn’s handy document scanners do the job quickly and covertly–assuming that no one considers moving an unopened ballpoint pen rapidly across every line of text on a page to be odd. The DocuPen Xtreme X05 (top, $300) comes with 64MB of internal memory, takes MicroSD cards for expansion, and can perform Bluetooth transfers as well. The DocuPen RC810 (bottom, $170) has 8MB of memory and takes about 4 to 8 seconds to scan a full page of text.

7. Antibugging Protection

When it’s so easy to bug someone it’s hard not to be paranoid your bugged yourself. In the spy vs. spy world of gadgets and countergadgets, there are some easy ways to avoid being bugged. The PE-AJ1 Audio Jammer electronic noise generator (left, $169) can knock out any wired or wireless microphone within an area of 150 square feet (note, however, that a protected area of 150 square feet works out to a protected radius of only about 7 feet, according to the ancient spy formula A = πr ²). The KB-DD800 Multifunctional Portable Sweep Unit (right, $495) purportedly can detect bugs and cameras hidden in the room, as well as GPS trackers and wire telephone tapping.

8.Night Vision

If you’re after some night vision gear for your mission, you can choose between monoculars and binoculars. The Night Own 3×50 monocular (upper left, $450) is suitable for camping, boating or wildlife observation, as well as for espionage, while the Patrol 2X24 monocular (right, $360) is a sound entry-level model that you can attach to a tripod. If you want to go pro, consider the Ranger Digital Night Vision 5×42 binoculars (lower left, $760), with 5X magnification, a built-in LCD screen, and a rubberized body.

9. Aerial Snooping

It looks like a prop from a Batman movie, but The Bat (left, not available in stores) is a functioning drone that carries microphones, shoots photos and video, and comes equipped with sensors for detecting poisonous gases and radiation. Only 6 inches wide, it cost $10 million to develop at the University of Michigan. More down to earth (but still up in the air) is the Spy Kite (right, $46), which lets you snap photos from heights of up to 80 feet and download them to your PC via USB.

10. Phones No Longer Safe

If your mission is to spy on someone who uses a BlackBerry or an Android phone, a service called MobiStealth (left, $80 for three months) promises to enable you to monitor their location, listen to phone calls via a Web interface, and check the user’s text messages and Web history. Mobile Spy claims that its iPhone Spy software (right, $50 for three months) works in a similar manner with iPhones–but only if they’ve been jailbroken.

11. Spy Coins

Finally, all self-respecting spies need a safe way to transfer to the home office all the data they’ve acquired during a hard day of skulking around. These hollow spy coins from Dereu & Sons have been uses since the Cold War by spies to transport secret messages or suicide poisons. Now you can use them to carry a MicroSD card. Available coins include U.S. nickels (left, $30 each) and half-dollars (a significantly better deal at $25 each), British pounds (right, $33 each), and EU euros ($30 each).
