How to use Dropbox as a free CDN service

We all are aware of CDN and how it helps to decrease the page load times. But what hinders its popularity is that most of CDN services are paid. As we discussed in our previous article, Amazon S3 is considered to be one of the most cost-effective CDN solutions for WordPress. But then again, you need to pay for S3 account. What if there was a free CDN?

This is where you may actually start to consider using Dropbox as a free CDN to serve all those static files in your WordPress blog. Since recently, people have been using Dropbox as a free CDN for hosting their WordPress static content like the JS, CSS and image files. Here is a short walk-through on how you can use your free Dropbox account as a CDN.

The first steps involve downloading all of your site’s static files (i.e. the files inside wp-content and wp-includes folders in WordPress). Then need have to upload all these files to your Dropbox. Then you can link to particular files from your site. But the linking thing is pretty much lengthy that you may need a Plugin to do that. WP Super Cache is an amazing plugin that can be used for this purpose. I guess all the WordPress users use it, so it would be easier working on it. But if you don’t, or you need better integration with Dropbox and a hassle free setup, then you can use the new Dropbox CDN plugin for just that. Depending on which plugin you want to use, we have split the procedure into two:

#1 : Using WP Super Cache plugin

In case you don’t have it already, download the WP Super Cache plugin from here and install it.

Download the wp-content and wp-includes folders (you can skip .php files) from WordPress.

Create a new Directory e.g. CDN in your Dropbox public folder. (If you don’t have a Dropbox account sign-up here) and upload all your WordPress files into this folder.

Create a new sub-domain e.g. cdn.example.com. (Learn why to create a sub-domain and what to do if you don’t want to create sub-domain in the following section).

Open your site’s file manager and locate the directory CDN. Once inside it, create a new file named .htaccess and add the following code into it. (Replace ID with your Dropbox ID)

"Redirect 301 / http://dl.dropbox.com/u/ID/cdn/"

Open the Super Cache plugin’s settings page and click on the CDN tab. Enter the url to sub-domain you created in step 3.

 Click on Save button and you are done.

Why a Sub-Domain? I don’t want to create a sub-domain!

The sub-domain thing is entirely optional. But we prefer you use it because it keeps the URLs clean and is also better for branding. Though if you are sure you don’t want to create a sub-domain then you can do the following:

1. Skip 3rd and 4th step.

2. Open the Super Cache CDN settings page, navigate to Off-site URL, and give the path to your folder in Dropbox where all the files would be uploaded.

#2 : Using Dropbox CDN plugin

There’s a new WordPress plugin in town that can help you deploy all those static files associated with your WordPress theme to Dropbox effortlessly. It works something like this. You will make a new folder inside the Public folder of your Dropbox. Now you should duplicate your WordPress theme folder structure within this folder. Next, copy the URL of this public folder and enter this info in the Dropbox CDN plugin page. Follow these steps:

1) Install the Dropbox CDN WordPress plugin. Click to activate it.

2) Navigate to the Public folder of your Dropbox and create a new folder with the name you have chosen, e.g. cdn.

3) Now go to the Cpanel of your web host and download the entire directory wp-content to Dropbox.  This can be done easily if you could locate that folder from within the file manager, compress that folder and download it. You can then extract that zipped folder into your Dropbox CDN folder.

4)  You need to copy the url of the public folder in Dropbox to which you uploaded you blog files and paste it in the plugin.

Note:

Dropbox CDN plugin may not support WordPress themes in which the file paths are hard-coded. Check the header.php file of the theme in use to make sure that they use standard functions like bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’), etc. to echo static file names.

After completion of these steps, all of your static files would then be hosted on Dropbox. Whenever you make any changes to wp-content and wp-includes folders (except those in php files), you must also propagate these changes to the files hosted on Dropbox. For example, if you upload any image to your WordPress site, you must also upload the images to the Dropbox folder.

Conclusion:

You will be surprised to know that Dropbox lowers the site’s load time by upto 4 times. In my site which often took around 6.2 seconds to load, after using Dropbox CDN, the load time got lowered to just 1.6 seconds. That’s exactly 4.08 times lower. Some other advantages of using Dropbox as CDN are that, since it is free, it lowers down the site’s bandwidth.

Look at the screenshot below to see the how fast our site on Dropbox loads compared to other CDN servers.

How To Say No to Our Friends Without Offending

Declining others' offers or saying no to their requests was always difficult for me. Moreover, the situation was getting more challenging when they were my own friends.
I was kind of a person who always used to say Yes. Although the request was in some how impossible for me, but, my bad, I used to say "Yes I will do that".

This has happened several times, and I have already lost many of my friends by saying yes I will do, but I couldn't!

I think "saying no" is in some how an art of keeping others around us.
It's a real LifeStyle. We are all able to make the best decisions, So why to live for others? Why no just say no?

But How to Say No to Our Friends?

 

1. Just say "I'm sorry. I'm flooded with homework due tomorrow." They'll hopefully understand the situation. Keep in mind; lying is not the best way out unless it is a very hazardous situation.

2. Firmly say "no" while respectfully smiling at the other person.

3. Say no but try to recommend some other place you would rather go / some other thing you would rather do.

4. Just simply say "No thank you."

5. Reschedule for some other day.

6. Tell them for "personal reasons"

7. Say no then walk away or cross your arms. Though use this as a last resort i.e. if the one asking keeps insisting and doesn't take the hint that you are not interested.

5 tips to lose fat and lose weight fast

Five important tips to lose fat and lose weight fast and keep it off for ever

Seems like you also have found yourself saying ‘my diet starts on Monday’. Make it happen right now – and right now – and stop postponing it, then you’ll perhaps have lost a few pounds before that important day ‘Monday’ even comes.

2. Non-fat Isn't Permanently Respectable

When searching for healthy foods you possibly ponder that non-fat means you will not get overweight if you eat it. That is not all the time the case.

Additionally, we must have fat in our diets but low-fat food are more desirable for us.

3. It’s a Change in your Way of Life

The word diet makes us recall something impermanent. A way of eating that will make us look better rapid enough that we can get back to eating ordinarily. This is the motive people put weight back on after dieting. You better think it is a lifestyle modification. Eat healthily and maybe do some bodybuilding but indulge occasionally. A healthy lifestyle is not something make you feel aggrieved.

4. Have Exercise Calories Back

You can always track the calories you have as well as those you burn, since they are always written on the foods we eat and known for type of the exercises we do. Your net calories must be about your calorie objective. If you don’t have exercise calories back your body may go into starvation, which can make stop the diet.
