Other Stuff WordPress is great, it makes it easy for anyone to put up Web pages; which after all is what a blog on the Web is.
A problem with WordPress is that, by default it doesn’t do much more than that, that is, be a simple, boring Web page. The default theme and settings are what used to be called “serviceable” but they are hardly attracted or compelling.
A great thing about WordPress is that you can really customize it with one of the thousands of plug-ins available.
I feel like I’ve went through all of the plug-ins even as I know that isn’t true but I have found 17 that I use in all my blog, at least I am using them now; I’m always on the lookout for new or better ones.
So if you’re ready to pimp your blog then read on because this time I am going to go through 9 really sweet (and free) plug-ins that will help turn your plain vanilla, white toast blog into something to strut about; I’ll do the remaining ones next time.

Online Success I’ve been asked several times to give some quick tips on lists so here are my 5 Fantastic Tips to build and use your list.
Do them. Profit. ‘Nuff Said.
1. Lock ‘em Up
To do list building you’ve got to get them on your list.
Yeah, duh moment, but if you don’t capture at least their e-mail address you aren’t building a list.
So, at every opportunity, ask for their e-mail address.
And this means you t0o if you are doing affiliate marketing. Don’t just send them directly to the sales page, stop them, give them something great and get their e-mail address and then send them on.
You saw me do that when promoting Dan Kennedy’s Info-Riches and I bet you didn’t even notice because when you signed up for me I automatically signed you up for Dan’s list.
