10 Good wordpress Plugins

After writing lots of posts about Wordpress themes i thought it would be cool to write a post about useful Wordpress Plugins. First of all you have to ask yourself the question, why in the first place do I need plugins?

Well, there a few reasons. The first on is that Wordpress plugins can safe you a lot of time. The second thing is that some plugins can speed up your Blog, the last thing is that plugins can improve the overall look of your Blog! To make it easy I thought it would be simple to post the plugins I use on this Blog! When you have a question about one of the plugins you can always contact me by sending a mail to me. You will get response within 2 days. Enough Muttering, lets get back to the plugins! Enjoy and use them wise.

1. Askimet

This is one of the most important plugins that you have to install because it safe you lots of time. Akismet is a very clever plugins which  checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look  spam or not. As you can understand this defiantly will save you some time because a bunch of comments will be filtered by this process. My last words about this plugin: “You have to use this amazing  plugin!”

Hostmonster Review : Reviewing Hostmonster

There are tons of Hostmonster Reviews out there, pretty much every single hostmonster review though is biased, this is why;

Hostmonster has an affiliate program for it’s web hosting service which awards affiliates a hefty commission for attracting clients, these clients can be web masters, designers, site owners, small businesses or whatever, well, they give the most biased reviews ever. All their reviews claim hostmonster is the way to go, that it’s the best solution, that hostmonster has the best online support and up time and so on, well guess what, it’s not true.

Hostmonsters web hosting program is not even affordable, well it is, but is it the best buy? Hell no, in fact it’s one of the more expensive hosting packages out there and to add insult to injury, or was it the other way round? i don’t know, point is, they don’t even have a decent online support team. Their live chat support is a joke, web hosting companies like Hostmonster NEED to up their game, you can’t be outsourcing your business to Hindu support people that can’t even type a full on sentence without mentioning curry or something. Ok that wasn’t relevant, but what i’m trying to say is watch out, companies like hostmonster do nothing but burn their clients after they’ve milked them out of their money.

BrandStack Fails: Shit Stack

Update: There has been dozens of recent articles from designers and clients protesting about Brandstacks appalling behavior. Not only are some designers on their ripping off designs and selling them, but Brandstack is knowingly selling plagiarized work, rendering the potential buyers vulnerable to law suits or worse. Below are some of the links:

Brandstack the Silent Killer
Brandstack: Unmoderated, unprofessional and unworthy
Why I pulled my logos from Brandstack today
Brandstack Ripping Off Designers
Why I Hate Brandstack

Again and again, when will they learn? The now newly designed, newly named site BrandStock, no sorry that’s BrandStack… has managed to suck more than it’s predecessor, IncSpring. It’s not only made up of images, 95% of it is anyway, it also lost the few points incsprings designed had managed to scrape. Then they name it BrandStack (yes i linked to them, because I care)…excuse me while I ram my face into a blender. What were they thinking? You think the worst is over? No, you see BrandStock, or wait, is it BrandStack? Whatever it is called now, they have a logo that the owner previously bought off Incspring, the same site, try to keep up. Well that logo is just, well go look at it, please.

DNPride.com for Breast Cancer

This has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen anyone do. I now know who started this campaign, but he wishes to remain unnamed. What an amazing thing to do for cancer awareness. Spreading the word online is what we should all do, we should all chime in and spread the word of Breast Cancer Awareness!

It’s a very simple theme yet well designed and not too pinkish so guys, it’s ok to use it. I had to think about it but who cares about the color, it’s as a friend said, about the cause, about the meaning behind it. There can be no ugly design to it or color scheme, there can be no bad coding, it’s a pure very thoughtful act and that’s all there is to it.

Read a little more about it over at Design Pride. A site i know will be doing a lot of good and helping a lot of people in the future. It’s a breath of fresh air to see people who are passionate, not only for their work but issues that effect us in every day life.

Distant Learning 2.0

That’s what I am calling it. I am currently redesigning the website for the Online Degree programs university, Saint Dominic University as their one is now outdated. I want to keep the main color palette they used and incorporate a professional, modern yet artistic feel to the site and while doing so, not losing that educational touch. I think as there are many university websites, and almost as many online university websites, that they have to stand out, be original, unique, and that’s what I am doing with the stdu.org website.

online learning

Their logo will remain the same but I plan to incorporate it into the header I create, maybe make it look a little more modern for the website rather than a corporate stamp. After I am done with the site who knows, I may myself take an MBA course there!
