WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system.

How do you put comments in .php, .html, and .css files to declare? Remind third-party developers and designers of the code’s explanation.
Different ways of putting comments per file type on the World Wide Web exist.
Comments help the code developer explain quickly to third-party developers, designers, users, or even himself why he used that line of code and what function it performs in that web application.
So it is convenient to know how to put comments in your files in PHP, CSS & HTML.
Here is an example of how you will put comments in ‘HTML’ & ‘PHP’ pages (outside of the PHP code) & it will look like this:
```

```
Comments inside of PHP code look like this:
```
<?php the_excerpt(); // Show excerpt and not full post content ?>
```

Search Engine Optimisation for Title Tag & How it works & How it is crawled by Google, A lesson learned from my own portfolio website
Here is what I learned from Google’s Web Crawling algorithm over the years,
For the last three to two years, I have used ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’ as my title tag for my personal design portfolio website’s homepage, i.e. ‘Page Name | Website Name’. This is nothing more than to explain to people that they can get a complete insight into the website by just looking at the title on Google’s search result page.
But for the last few days, I got this result when I searched my name on Google. Yes, I was listed first when I searched for a name, i.e mandar apte,
But the result was something like this: ‘Mandar Apte: Design Portfolio’ instead of my curated title ‘Design Portfolio | Mandar Apte’. It seems Google altered my website homepage’s title tag on their search results. I was amassed, wondering why this should happen, and then I contacted Google support for the same.
& I got this answer from them…

Google Adsense Doesn’t Displays Ads on Some post where Unicode or UTF8 based Indian Languages are utilised, I found it why it happens.
Update: 14th December 2014
Google AdSense Now supports Websites in Indic Languages like Hindi.
So, if your website is in Hindi, you should be able to fetch AdSense Ads now.
See Image below:
I have a few blogs in English & few others that utilise my mother tongue, i.e. Marathi…
& It was weird that Ads on my Marathi Blog wasn’t showing Ads at all, All ad slots were appearing blank…
I even checked the original Adsense ad code back & forth, even rechecked my website’s HTML code, I even revalidated my HTML Code with w3c standards but found no errors, then I reported it to ‘Google Support’ but no use…
But I found the answers…

After creating WordPress subdomain multisite blog Adsense ads on subdomain blog doesn’t get registered & Data in Analytics & Adsense doesn’t match…
I have been using WordPress CMS for the last year or two & integrated Adsense ads & analytics without any errors or problems.
But just after creating a WordPress Multi-Blog System with Subdomain, I started facing problems because my pages were not getting registered or Adsense ads clicks were not getting registered, so I was losing money and analytics data count.
But after a few months, I found the solution; I got my analytics code rectified & all Adsense ads clicks started getting registered & my analytics code started working again,
A few suggestions before starting: don’t follow idiot blogs that don’t follow Google’s Rules.
So here are the steps to integrate the WordPress Multi Blog System with Google Analytics & Adsense.
Step 01
Check analytics code
Go to: All Accounts > Account List > Admin > (Your Preferred Account) > Properties > (Your Preferred Website) > Tracking Code > Section Called ‘Website Tracking’ > Go to Advance Tab > Choose ‘One Domain with Multiple Subdomains’
Now copy that underneath code & paste it to your WordPress theme…
