Weekly Plugin Review, WordPress Plugins

If you’ve finally decided to start selling ads on your WordPress blog, you either signup for an advertising network like Google Adsense or sell ads directly on your own. 125 x 125 button advertising has become a rage with almost every blog / site selling advertisement. Out here at Weblog Tools Collection, we use OIO Publisher for this. However, if you’re not interested in purchasing the plugin, then WP125 is an excellent choice for the same. What is WP125?

One lesser known skills of our very own Mark Ghosh is his strong coding abilities and his occasional WordPress Plugins that he makes available to all our readers. Two such plugins were the Moderation Notify Author and Contextual Related Posts, written long long ago. With the arrival of WordPress 2.7, we felt it time to update the plugins and so here we are! Moderation Notify Author The problem on multiple-author blogs running WordPress is that it doesn’t automatically notify the author of a post about waiting comments. Instead all comment moderation requests go to the admin. This plugin will notify the author of the post in addition to the admin and thus allow the author to share the responsibility of moderating comments on his posts. The plugin is smart enough to ensure that the admin does not get a duplicate email. Running a multi-author blog? Read more and download Moderation [...]

Weekly Plugin Review, WordPress Plugins

Last week we reviewed Referrer Detector. This week we review a similar plugin called WP Greet Box. What is WP Greet Box? This plugin lets you show a different greeting message to your new visitors depending on their referrer URL. For example, when a Digg user clicks through from Digg, they will see a message reminding them to digg your post if they like it. Another example, when a visitor clicks through from Twitter, they will see a message suggesting them to twit the post and follow you on Twitter. You can also set a default greeting message for new visitors (not matching any referrer URLs) suggesting them to subscribe to your RSS feed. Having these targeted suggestions will help your blog increase exposure, loyal readership, and reader interaction. Screenshot Features Show a different greeting message to your visitor depending on the referrer URL. You can add/edit/delete/disable these greeting messages [...]
