Google launches “Friend Connect” WordPress Plugin
Google has developed a plugin for WordPress that adds social features to WordPress blogs. The Google Friend Connect plugin makes it possible for the blog administrator to allow users to comment on posts by using any OpenID account, including Google, Yahoo, or AIM without having to register. When a visitor authenticates, it creates a WordPress account. It is a replacement for the existing WordPress comment functionality.
Optional futures are provided such as adding a Google Friend Connect social bar, member’s gadget, site wide comment gadget and recommendation gadget in the side bar.
When someone adds a comment to a post or recommends one of your posts using the recommendation button, those activities are posted to the Google Friend Connect activity streams.

As mentioned in previous posts I am not a programming guru and rely big time on written software do the job for me.
I am using the Atahualpa WordPress theme which has an option to display some posts on the “Home” page as full posts and the rest as excerpts.
I wanted to implement this option and have my other pages only showing excerpts. In WordPress it is not possible (if you aren’t a guru) to have a different amount of posts on pages. This created a problem causing an unbalance with my sidebars between the Home page and others like category, tag and archive pages.
Was I glad when I discovered a plugin at MaxBlogPress which did the trick. It allows me to have more flexibility in customizing my blog.
If you have the same limited programming knowledge than me this can help a lot – check it out…

Easily add and rotate banners in your WordPress blog anywhere you like without editing any themes or touching any codes. Normally adding banners will need you to edit your wordpress theme and mess with lots of codes.
That is where the Max Banner Ads plugin comes into play. Adding, controlling, and tracking the banners on your blog becomes very easy with this plugin. It also gives you statistics like banner impressions and click through rates to let you correctly track how good your banner is doing. This is only a few examples of the many powerful features.

When I started using WordPress for the first time I did not realize it auto-ping’s via Pingomatic whenever you publish a new post, page or do updates. While fiddling to find out how WordPress operates a ping must have been generated every few minutes – not very healthy because search engines can see it as spam and ban your blog.
Luckily that blog survived and I discovered this problem in time to prevent this. When I stumbled upon this plugin I grabbed and installed it immediately. It works like a charm and I don’t have to worry about unnecessary pings anymore.
It is a free plugin from MaxBlogPress and can be configured to disable or limit pings within a set time. According to me a must have if you are using WordPress!
