Wordpress Plugins

I read every day about search engine optimization. Every blogger even it is or not visible talks about this subject. This happens because the internet is seen as o source of easy money. The reality is very different because the true stories about success blogs are not a lot. Usually a well known blogger is a programmer or a freelancer and has something to say about the virtual world. This because combines expertize with more or less talent to write. Around this blogs are some second level blogs who are only recycling posts and articles. In few words they are only a redistribution of the first. Of course is normal to happen such things. The ugly part is when some entrepreneurs are say they have the secret of the way to make money online. This guys will ask a fee to subscribe to various programs and affiliate networks. But the most important thing is that everybody should know that content without original things will be discarded soon by the readers. So, the SEO of the content is content itself on a functional platform with a decent hosting and errors free. Others will try to sell you useless clicks and “blind visitors”. Somebody ask few days ago, why I don’t write every day an article to make money like others. I’ve explained that money online are difficult to make without commitment and without real things to give to the readers. A good example as real blogger, in my opinion, could be Lester Chan. You will find some very useful plugins for wordpress and not only.  One plugin I find great is WP-Ban.


Brian KRAUSZ wrote a nice plugin called Custom-Taxonomies. The functions of this plugin are:

  • Create custom taxonomies with admin-set names and slugs for posts, pages, or link
  • Define whether or not to accept hierarchies, descriptions, multiple selections, and/or tag-style entry
  • Manage each taxonomy’s terms in a full AJAX-interface
  • Assign terms to posts, pages, and links just as you would with categories and tags
  • Add widgets for your taxonomies into your site
  • Edit taxonomy settings

You should check out the new versions as soon they are released .

I have recently discovered that in Wordpress 2.7 if you install the “Custom-Taxonomies” plugin this is disabling the simple way to add or remove the tags for a post .
