Twitter Tools Plugin
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009‘Autoblogged’
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009The Autoblogged plugin is a great plugin which helps you automatically add posts to your blog by adding posts from any RSS or Atom feed. The word autoblog has spamming connotations, but the plugin can be effectively used to create focused RSS feeds. You can also add your own comments to the feeds to spice it up with some originality.
Wordpress database backup plugin
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009The Database Backup Plugin is a very useful plugin and with the unlimited memory of gmail these days you can send yourself daily backups of your blog to yourself automatically. An easy way to make sure you sleep well at night.
The database backup plugin is easy to install and use.
Google analytics for Wordpress
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009The google analytics plugin is a must if you want to track your stats – plus it’s free! It’s easy to install and you simply have to add the relevant analytics account ID in the admin panel after you activate it.
Broken link checker plugin
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009The broken link checker plugin for Wordpress is a godsend. One of the things that can really drag you down in your google rankings is having a lot of old posts with broken links. This plugin automatically finds broken links and enables you to either discard the link or to delete the post entirely from the admin panel.
Definitely a time saver and very useful.
A sticky post orderer
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009A Sticky Post Orderer is a plugin I use on a daily basis to help order my posts. For example, if you want to write a blurb at the top of a list of different posts, you can simply list that post at the top using this plugin and ensure that it appears first. Without this plugin I would be lost.
It basically allows you to control the order of your posts in categories. This is a must plug-in for me and helped me get around the problem of ordering my posts which was nagging me for some time. You can download the plugin from here
Popularity Contest Plugin
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008Popularity Contest is one of my favourite Wordpress plugins because it is so useful. It automatically calculates the number of hits you get on posts, categories etc. and allows you to display them on your front page. Just using this plugin as a tool to better understand how users are using your site is useful, but having the top 10 posts always displayed on your site is good for SEO and allows users to easily get a grasp of what is popular on your site.
All in one SEO Pack
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008The All in one SEO Pack is made to improve your SEO for Wordpress. You insert tags and a description of your post and this plugin helps to get the word out there.
