Image Replacement Plugin

The Image Replacement plugin replaces text in a given tag (e.g. h1 or h4 - whatever you specify) with a server-generated image from the font of your choice. You can upload your own fonts as well.

Here’s an example:

Replacement Text

The replacement is done with JavaScript, so the replaced text still shows up in searches. If a user has JavaScript turned off, the normal text will appear (rather than a broken image with alt text). The images are also cached to reduce the load on the server.

Hide Outgoing Links with .htaccess

You can use your own link engine to hide outgoing links such as affiliate links. For example, if you wanted to direct visitors to Amazon when they visit yourblog.com/go/books, you could take the following steps:

  1. Login to your site via FTP, and create a folder called go in your webroot (e.g. /www or /public_html or /httpdocs folder).
  2. Create a file containing lines like this:
    Redirect /go/keyword http://www.destination-url.com/affiliate-code
    Name this file .htaccess (note the leading period) and upload it to the new go directory. Note: Windows will not let you name a file .htaccess on your PC. Give it another name and rename it to .htaccess after uploading.
  3. Now we have to make WordPress ignore the “go” folder, or else it will redirect users into a WordPress error page. Open your main .htaccess file (the one in your webroot directory) and look for this line:
    # END WordPress
    Add this line after it:
    RewriteRule ^go/.*$ - [PT]
  4. Add more outgoing link keywords and URLs by editing the .htaccess file in your /go directory whenever you want.
