RSS Feeds
You also have a choice over what to show in your RSS feed:

A download link: Choose this if you are OK with subscribers downloading the file.
Nothing: Choose this if you feel that your feed shouldn’t contain any reference to the audio file.
Custom: Choose this to use your own alternative content for all player instances. You can use this option to tell subscribers that they can listen to the audio file if they read the post on your blog. You can set the content in the options panel.
Go to the options panel to set these options.

The installation is straightforward and I'm sure it will be up and running in few minutes' time. So, here's the plugin at work, enjoy one of my favourite songs, Linger (Cranberries)

It is essentially important to note that this article plugin will be more appreciated by the readers if you are able to categorise each of your post into a particular category rather than put them in few categories. Otherwise, a post will appear few times under different categories in article page.

Sitemap file is essential as far as search engines are concerned as it helps to speed up the discovery of your pages. However, there are few other factors that influence the crawling process like number of backlinks pointing to your website, uniqueness and relevancy of your content and few other things.

So, sitemap file has SEO-effect on your blog by making sure that all the pages in your blog can be found by search engines bots. So in order to create a sitemap file for WordPress blog, you can use Google sitemap generator (this is the plugin that I used for my blog). This plugin will create a compliant sitemap (XML-sitemap) and this format is supported by Google, YAHOO and MSN Search.

Me: I just installed the plugin yesterday, and there seems to be a significant progress in my search engines ranks for "melayu boleh" keyword. I could probably be wrong about this as there are many other factors that affect my blog position. However, this is a useful plugin for your blog after all.

The question is why I dont have it? I just found this plugin and it requires a little bit of html. It's easy to setup, of course. Unfortunately, I'm a design freak, so I won't put it on display without proper decor. I am thinking of using a little bit of CSS for the decor and my illeteracy of CSS will sure take me ages to put it up and running in the way intended.

The good news is you can see the screenshot of the easy announcement plugin below, but why not head straight on to the site of this author (Cypherhackz) to see it live! The plugin is in the red faded box. Looks cool yeah with the right CSS tinkering.

This plugin syndicates all kinds of stories from digg.com and lists them in your blog. Various options allow you to fetch stories from specific users, friends, topics, the digg search, and the Popular/Upcoming sections of digg.

This is a good plugin because it adds dynamic to your blog especially when your running out of time to update your blog or all of sudden your ideas run out of steam. I've tried to implement it in my blog, the content appears briliantly, unfortunately I couldn't find the right place to fit it into my blog space.

You can find more ways to manage the Digg's feeds by visiting Digg Dugg plugin's site.

They might look like trivial plugins but they create big impact on getting traffic and creating regular visitors.

How to implement this plugin? It's just a piece of cake. It took about an hour for me due to the lack of programming literacy. It is dead easy once you know how to play around with the parameters.

1. Visit this plugin site (Random Plugin). Activate it in your blog.

2. Put the following code into any pages that you like it to be appeared. As far as I'm concerned, I put it in single.php

<!--random posts plugin-->

<h3>Random Posts</h3>
<?php random_posts($limit="4", $len="30", $before_title='<li><b>', 
$after_title='</li></b><br>', $before_post='<blockquote>', 
$after_post='</blockquote>', $show_pass_post, $show_excerpt=true); ?> 

<!--random posts plugin-->

Well, for wordpress particularly, you just need to upload the plugin file into the plugin directory and activate it via the admin screen. That's all, and the plugin options would appear either in option, manage or plugin tabs. All you need is a bit of tweaking to suit your site.

Back to the wordpress plugins, I used quite a lot of it, 15 - 20. I will update this post later with a complete list of the plugins that I used.
