Headway Themes makes it extremely easy to create an SEO friendly, good looking redirect URL. This is especially handy when you want to make your Headway Themes affiliate link look nice and a lot more professional. And it takes a matter of seconds to do with the Headway built in URL Redirect feature.

You can take this:

and turn it into this:

http://yourdomainname/headway-themes

Here are the easy steps to hide your Headway Themes affiliate link

Step 1: In your WordPress Dashboard, simply add a new Page with the title Headway Themes and hide the page from the navigation bar of your site

Step 2: Simply scroll down to the space called “Redirect URL” and paste in your affiliate link

And that is all you have to do. Now your affiliate link is hidden in your own domain name.

Inserting a Link in a Blog Post – Revisited

Grant Griffiths — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:21:07 +0000

When you are reading blog post or others are diong the same, it can be frustrating for the reader when there is not a link to the other blog you are mentioning. Readers like to follow the links and check out the information you are writing about in more detail. They can’t do that if you don’t provide a link for them to do so. All you have to do to provide a link is to follow the simple steps below.

Its good blogging practice to link to (1) another blog if you mention that blog; (2) the post you might be talking about on another blog. Another key reason to link to other blogs you are mentioning on your own blog is to make that blogger aware of it. They will get a Pingback from your post telling them you have linked to them. This may cause that blogger to visit your blog to see what is being said about them or their blog. This is a key way to build a relationship with other bloggers and get noticed. Getting noticed will help increase your own traffric.

Start in the Write Post Window

You will start inside the “write post” window for inserting a link in a blog post as this is where you will do all of your post drafting.

URL You Want to Link To

Copy the URL of the post you want to link to

Insert in your Blog Post

1. Highlight text you want linked to the post; 2. Click on the Insert/Edit Link button; 3. Paste Post URL into the Link URL field. 4. Set the target, new window or new tab.

Here is a list of the few bug fixes and some new features too.

Bug Fixes

Headway will now work properly when the WordPress system files are installed in a sub-directory.
Occasionally the read more links on non-featured posts (where the excerpt is shown) would link to the latest post instead of the actual post. This has been addressed.
Blockquotes styling via Design Editor fixed.
IIS/Windows MySQL compatibility.

Enhancements

Added option to Headway SEO settings to disable the SEO slug feature from removing numbers.
You can now exclude certain posts and categories from the WordPress feed. Categories can be excluded in the Headway Configuration panel and posts can be excluded using the post editor.
Caching can be disabled in the General tab in the Headway Configuration.
Headway module in WordPress admin has been moved above Appearance.
The featured leaf now uses the WordPress 2.9 post thumbnail functionality rather than custom fields.
A bigger version number

Here is what one of our users said tonight in the fourms:

I’ve been using Headway personally for a couple months and as a developer for a couple weeks and the speed at which Headway gets updated and enhanced is awesome. I’m really looking forward to installing this new version.
