So what is Little Square?
We were surprised when Intuit called us one day asking us to help develop a new project they called “Little Square”. They had seen our work for the LA Marathon as well as our feature on WordPress.org and thought we were the right guys for the job. They had a vision for an online community for Quickbooks for Mac users to gather, share ideas and learn new and effective ways to use Quickbooks for Mac.

Our Solution:
Working together with the Quickbooks for Mac team, we came up with a simple, clean solution. We developed a custom WordPress theme for Intuit on our own advanced WordPress Genesis platform and it was exactly what they were looking for. Now we are continuing our work with Intuit by working on enhancing Little Square, continuing some Scribe SEO work and beginning some new projects for them.

Step1. Open media.php file under wp-includes folder.
Step2. Find the function named “image_resize_dimensions” (Around line 309). Unfortunately this function is not pluggable and doesn’t use any hooks so we will edit it directly. Find the lines:

1 $s_x = floor( ($orig_w – $crop_w) / 2 );
2 $s_y = floor( ($orig_h – $crop_h) / 2 );

Step3. Those two variables define the start point of crop that will be used. Here is a sample image that will be cropped with those variables shown:

Step4. If you want top of part of the image as post featured image then $s_y value must remain zero. So we change that line to:
view source
print?
1 $s_y = 0; //floor( ($orig_h – $crop_h) / 2 );

Step5. Save the file and upload it to wp-includes folder.

Last Step. A post image is cropped at the first time it is uploaded. To update thumbnails you need this great plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails. This plugin takes post thumbnails and crops them again using your latest media settings. After you install it click on the “Regenerate All Thumbnails” button under tools. It will automatically crop all the post thumbnails again. This will take a minute or two depending on your server and number of posts you have. After the regeneration is complete all your thumbnails will be cropped from top.

So Basically;

• Regular commentors will get a dofollow link that passes link love – with this, you really reward regular contributors
• Those with less than say 3 comments will not get a link at all (although you can modify this) but when they do hit 3 comments, hey presto, link love, and with anchor text value!
• Pagerank won’t evaporate through nofollowed links from link droppers because they won’t be links!
  You can see it in action below once comments appear (or on any other post on the WebDog site) when you comment.

What does this mean? Well, if we’re to believe Google, this may help increase the amount of pagerank circulating on your site and indeed improve your overall Pagerank score, just by watching who you’re linking to using nofollow.

Download the plugin here – It works on WordPress 2.8, and should be backward compatible (though clearly no warranties – it’s free – use at your own risk)

We are using this plugin ourselves, so if you want a link on your comment, be sure to participate in the discussion often!

Installation is simple – just install as you would any other plugin, and go to the admin section (Settings > Hobo Link Love) and ensure in the field;

“Keep dofollow off comments less than some number of days old?” – You insert the value ‘0′.

This plugin is based on Lucia’s LInky Love so you MUST UNINSTALL THAT PLUGIN FIRST FOR IT TO WORK (if you have that installed).
