There are few links where they explain you to install wordpress manually and if you install some old version wordpress then you will have to upgrade it and it is one heck of a work if you are not much into blogging (if you are new to blogging). It was hard to upgrade wordpress from old version to new one last year. But now you can upgrade wordpress automatically. Well it’s not totally automatic. You will have to follow some five steps and the wordpress will be upgraded. Back then the user was supposed to manually remove the old wordpress (by taking its back up) and then install the new one and follow few more complicated steps to make sure that the wordpress was installed properly.

Now you just need a plugin to upgrade the wordpress automatically. People having a wordpress blog will have no problem in upgrading it as wordpress does the upgrade itself if they just click on the upgrade wordpress link and they will need to follow only few steps. But for those who own a domain and run their blog in their domain with wordpress were supposed to upgrade the wordpress manually. But now wordpress has come up with a plugin called wordpress automatic upgrade . Get the plugin and upload it in your plugin folder and then activate it to use it. Thats all. You are ready to upgrade your wordpress anytime. Give it a try.

Recently i posted about technorati authority and also told that is is not easy to increase the authority just like what you do in alexa. If you need high authority for your blog you have to let technorati know that there are many blogs which points to your blog. Unfortunately, Technorati is not always able to find all your inbound links, usually because some of the bloggers forget to ping them, hence your blog might be undervalued. You can change that situation.

Here is the method of increasing it. The idea is simple that let Technorati know about the blogs which points to you. Its simple you can do it. Just collect the list of blogs which points to your blog and manually ping them to Technorati. Improved Technorati Authority can contribute to increased visibility, traffic, and reputation in the blogosphere. Ping your blog here.

CTS used to have three rounds. First round used to be the usual aptitude written round followed by technical HR and then finally the General Hr. Now they have changed the format and are following Infosys’s pattern with only two rounds. The first round remains to be the usual written aptitude round where they divided the written round to three sections. Each section has its own cut off marks. Both lower and upper cut off are followed and you have to keep your marks well in between these upper and lower cut off region (I got this information from my friends). If you exceed the upper cut off or secure below the lower cut off then you are out and can’t qualify. Make sure that you get marks in between the upper and lower cut off in all the three section. The next round is HR round and they can ask either general questions or technical questions or both. It depends on the HR person who is interviewing you. Relax while answering them and you will make it to CTS. I am giving few links to CTS aptitude papers, questions asked in interview and the format provided by others. Hope you all find it useful.
