I’ve used my WordPress blogs for a number of several things.
From adsense to membership sites I’ve used WordPress.
If your exploitation your web log for affiliate marketing then this is the most have plugin.

You can use it to place any link in your posts simply by typewriting the keyword in your post. It doesn’t have to be an affiliate link you can use any link you want. So head on over to
easywpaffiliate.com and grab this great plugin now.
Here’s a video that shows how easy it is to install and use.
If you are exploitation AdSense on your web log and have see their recently updated T.O.S. then you cognize you need to have a privacy policy page. In fact you need one on a static website besides or any site you have AdSense on.
Writing a privacy policy can be a royal pain if you have ne'er
done it before.
Thankfully Eric Giguere hss move to the rescue of WordPress users and created the
Privacy Policy Plugin.
It is one of the easiest plugins I’ve ever used and creates a, well privacy page.
You can view the one for this web log
here or by clicking the link in the page menu at the top of the blog.
There’s not more much I can say simply about this plugin except give thanks you Eric, nice looking out for all of us WordPress users.
I was reading a post at a popular marketing forum simply about adding an author’s pictures to a post.
The discussion turned to plugins and a few wherever
listed and problems wherever
found with all of them. The one that everyone aforesaid worked in all browsers required the wp-content folder to be CHMOD’ed to 777 which is not excitable to me. So I patterned
I’d show how easy it is to add an author’s pictures to a post without exploitation plugins.
First I went into my theme’s style sheet and accessorial this little bit of code.
Then I chosen the pictures I wanted to use and uploaded it through the transfer
function on the Write Post page.
I ready-made the pictures small enough so I wouldn’t need to place it on the page as a fingernail
in this case 50px by 67px.
Next I went to ‘browse all’ and clicked on the pictures I wanted to use.
From there I chosen to show the pictures full size, with it not linking to anything.
I chosen wherever
I wanted it to show in the post and clicked ’send to editor’.
That placed this code in that spot.
Naturally to show you what I did I accessorial spaces and x’ed out certain things, but you get the idea.
All in all including resizing the pictures it took less then two minutes to do.
Now to add it to any futurity posts it wish take simply about 30 seconds or less with no fuss or muss.
Updating WordPress plugins used to be a hit or miss deal.
You had to go to the plugins page to check if there was an update available.
Not anymore.
With the latest versions of WordPress all you need to do is go to the Plugin page
of your web log and you can see right there which plugins have an update available.
(click on the fingernail
to see what I mean)
This feature not only does it easier to see what plugins have an update, but besides do it easy to go to the transfer
page for the plugin and get the update.
Now you have the update what do you you do with it?
Well of course you have to transfer
it to your plugin folder of your blog.
Sometimes I delete the old version 1st and sometimes I don’t, for me it depends on the mood I’m in at the time. Normally I’ll delete the old plugin 1st and I haven’t found a problem doing it that way.
For the few seconds it takes to transfer
the new version of the plugin it hasn’t accomplished thing
negatively with the plugin not working. Besides sometimes the old version of a plugin may be a single php file piece the new version may have more features that require multiple php files and requires the uploading of a folder instead of a single file. Once
you run into that you should delete the old version first.
Sometimes the version of a plugin you are exploitation may not be compatible with the version of WordPress you are presently
using. You wil see that happen once
you upgrade WordPress from say 2.2.* to 2.3.*. In that case it is about always better to delete the old version of the plugin and then transfer
the newer version.
An example of that would-be be with the Google Sitemaps plugin. Originally it was a single php file and now it is a folder of files. Of course there are alot more features to the plugin also.
But if you are exploitation the older version and upgrade wordpress once
you write and publish a post you wish get a whole boat load of error messages.
So in closing let me say to do it a habit to check out your plugin page every day you wite a post. The little bit of extra time it takes is well worth it.
