A WP Blog Status Check

Several revisions have been implemented on this blog, since traffic has improved the past few weeks I should not be sloppy. So, allow me a breakdown:

• New write-up for the Galleries page,
• Rin Theme modifications (to use Google search instead of built-in WordPress search)
• Last 15 20 Recent Posts and Calendar on sidebar.
• Google ads on pages, and individual posts.

Took out (or temporarily deactivated) WordPress plugins, installed new ones. Here’s my current list:

• Bad Behavior
• Search Hilite
• Gravatar Signup
• Gravatar
• Kitten’s Spaminator
• Kitten’s Spam Words
• Miniblog
• Related Posts
• Staticize Reloaded
• WP-ShortStat – RECOMMENDED

The TO-DO LIST:

• Sidebar to appear on individual posts, and category pages.
• Category pages to show full entries, instead of excerpts.
• Clean up unused databases in web server account.

A WP user? What plugins do you recommend?

I’m loving the re-discovery of the miniscule xmplay audio player. Never noticed how rich the sound (with default settings) that’s coming out of it was. Beats Winamp by a mile or two.
