Cut and paste. Whether you’re porting a template to Pligg or creating a completely new design, don’t start from scratch. You’ll find it much easier to begin with an existing template. You can start with one of the templates included with the Pligg distribution, but I’ve created a stripped-down...
Optimize your pligg site for better SEO
Anybody that has used the pligg cms system will know that straight out of the wrapper it isn’t optimized as much as it could be for SEO (search engine optimization). Some of the more evident problems pligg can pose are URL structure, multiple duplicate content Urls, non seo optimized page titles,...
