Blueberry is an experimental open source jQuery image slider plugin which has been written specifically to work with fluid/responsive web layouts.

With the popularity of smart phones and tablet devices responsive/fluid web layouts have become an important part of modern web design.

Working on a new project I decided to use the 1140px grid from cssgrid.net. The design I was working on included a large image slider on the front page. As I set about choosing a jQuery plugin to use, I started to realise that very few are compatible with responsive/flexible layouts (at least not without some hacking) as most require a fixed width.

1. Basic WordPress SEO optimization settings

Permalinks

First step in making your WordPress blog more SEO friendly is to adjust permalinks structure. Permalink structure is your URL structure, for example http://www.domain.com/day/month/year/category/post-title. You will need to setup your permalinks structure to avoid these depth links as much as possible.

To adjust permalinks structure for better SEO results, you need to go to your WordPress admin->Settings->Permalinks and to select field entitled Custom Structure and enter /%postname%/ so that you links will look something like http://www.domain.com/post-title. After that your WP will generate new .htaccess file for URL rewriting. In case that you are running your blog on hosting witch doesn’t support .htaccess writing or generating, you will need to enter .htaccess code manually by copy-pasting a code generated on Permalinks setup page.

Slugs

One of the important figures in WordPress SEO optimization is ability to edit or manually create URL addresses of your post or page, this instances are called slugs. When you create or edit your post, just under the Title form in editor you will see automatically generated Permalink structure, you can click on it to edit the slug.
