WordPress Plugins That You Can’t Live Without

February 6th, 2010

The great thing about using WordPress as your website engine is that it can be extended to be so much more than just any old blog with the use of plugins. Today I’ve decided to list the plugins I’m using and to pay tribute to the generosity and hard work of WordPress plugin developers who devote their time and talent freely to the WordPress community.

January 26th, 2010

Rivendell Free XHTML Template Screenshot
A fan of the Lord of the Rings and visitor to this site wrote me and requested that I create a Rivendell template. I love creating templates and themes for The Lord of the Rings fans, so how could I refuse? This template and theme is perfect for LOTRO gamers who want to set up a kinship site, as well.

This template is a two-column fixed-width style and has been tested in the latest versions of Firefox, IE, and Opera. It is being released to the Public Domain. I have also created a corresponding WordPress theme. Enjoy!
