Feed your WordPress Demons!
Google Buzz is the next big thing in the social media. If you remember, a lot of people disregarded Twitter in its early days. Those who jumped on the bandwagon from the very start managed to build a large following while those who gave up on the service early found out soon enough what they had missed out too. The jury is still out on Google Buzz, but you certainly don’t want to ignore the community. It has some potential, and it never hurts to distribute your content on as many social networking sites as possible.
The best way to get your readers to submit your posts to Google Buzz is by adding a Google Buzz button to your blog. You can always do that by grabbing scripts from social media tracking websites. Another way to do that is by taking advantage of Google Buzz Wordpress plugins.
If you find adding a Buzz plugin to your blog inconvenient, you should give Buzrr.com a try. Buzrr Button is a cool little script that puts a Google Buzz counter on your Wordpress blog. Every time someone posts your story to Google, your “buzzed” count goes up by one. Of course, the more buzzes you get, the more traffic you get in return. (more…)

Every corporation and organization that wants to reach out to more people and realize its potential is going online these days. In fact, if you are part of an organization that does not have an online presence these days, you are missing the boat. The same concept applies to religious organizations as well. Whether you want to build a presence for your church or want to get people familiar with other religions, building a website is a good way to go. Grace theme for Wordpress could come in handy here. It’s an attractive theme designed for those who want to build an online presence for a religious organization such as a church. It’s affordable, customizable, and quite professional-looking.

Getting a premium theme for your Wordpress blog is not an easy decision. You want to make sure you take time to get familiar with what all offers and try to find one that applies to your situation the best. You also don’t want to pay more than you have to get your hands on these themes. That’s where Wordpress coupons can come in handy. Many theme developers give discounts on multiple purchases, and if you own more than one website, you are leaving money on the table if you don’t take advantage of these coupons.
The Wordpress coupon market changes on a daily basis, but the below coupons should be valid for a while:

A while ago, I wrote a post about plugins that you can use on your blog to promote all your posts more effectively. Plugins such as Similar Posts, Popular Posts, and other similar plugins allow you to promote your other posts to your readers and help them discover other top posts on your blog. But they can put load on your server if you have too many plugins on your blog or if your resources are limited. That’s where Plugin Output Cache comes in. It’s a cache plugin for your plugins that improves the performance of your website and speeds it up in the process.
