Cool Wordpress Plugins - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

trigatch4 · 12-20-2006, 11:59 PM

Been looking through WP plug-ins. Found some very cool ones, which you may already know, but I posted on my blog and thought I'd share the info here. Feel free to add more:

Lightbox
AWESOME flash picture plugin which overlays images on your page when clicked. Similar to what happens when you click the new area headings at wickedfire.com! Check out the demo, you’ll LOVE it!

Amazon Plug-In
Allows easy search and input of amazon affiliate links WHILE you are writing your posts/pages with tremendous ease!

reBlog
Select your favorite posts from OTHER blogs and have them auto-posted on your blog! Perhaps you have a website about eating healthy. Why not create a blog about eating healthy with mostly content from other blogs using this easy method? Then, every once and awhile, drop yourself a healthy one way link!

WP Notable
Mentioned many places before. Allow readers to easily suggest your site for social networking communities like Digg.

Google Sitemap
Don’t be a dummy… Get indexed.

PodPress (Mighty Mouse)
Include podcasts with a lean flash mp3 player and links to download.

Sidebar Widget
Drag and drop to change the look and feel of your sidebar! For newbs and time savers! No HTML knowledge needed.

Related Entries
At the bottom of your posts, 5 of your “most related” entries are shown. If someone read through your entire post, keep them on your site by showing them very related stuff! The 5 posts are auto-picked based on keywords and such.

Adsense Deluxe
Tons of options and features to automatically embed your adsense ads in your blog! Colors, Ad Sizes, Locations… you name it… and it keeps the # of ad units to a max of 3 to comply with Google TOS.

Star Rating System
Have users rate Posts, Movies, Products, Sexy Women…. Whatever! Same type of system used by Amazon… very neat and offers user participation. Always great to make the visitor “part” of the experience.

Um purple on grey is hard to read. Why not use a color that contrasts better like ..um blue?

trigatch4 · 12-21-2006, 12:25 AM

Fixed (Copy/Paste Issue)

Rob_TID · 12-21-2006, 12:44 AM

Great list - + rep for you.

z00pedup · 12-21-2006, 02:24 AM

Nice list.. Thanx

Rob_TID · 12-21-2006, 02:35 AM

That Lightbox Plugin is a BITCH to install.

Free rep for anyone who rewrites the instructions so they are understandable. (Mainly I don't have a clue where to put the files!?)

trigatch4 · 12-21-2006, 03:15 AM

Just edited my blog post. At the bottom, see a quick fix I put together to get Lightbox working. A couple lines of code and 2 files to overwrite and you should be good to go!

Here is the link: Lightbox Plugin Fix.

Ok, i found an easier to install version here:

Lightbox 2 Wordpress Plugin » 4MJ

problem is I can't get the funky "loading" graphic to work - it just clicks straight to the image.

trigatch4 · 12-21-2006, 03:43 AM

Gotta sleep... it's almost 4am and I've got to be up in less than 3 hours! Haha WF is the death of me! If you can't figure it out by tomorrow afternoon, PM me.

Rob_TID · 12-21-2006, 04:10 AM

Weird - it works perfectly on one of my blogs, but on the other it is really clunky.

Jan · 12-21-2006, 12:06 PM

Thank you! I'll be trying a couple of those.

Does anyone know of an easy to install (I still struggle with this stuff) plug in to have the list under the side bar headings collapse?

nachoninja · 12-21-2006, 12:10 PM

that lightbox plug-in is dope, I'll have to install that

kr338r · 12-21-2006, 12:57 PM

thanks for the list.

Have a stupid question with WP, are you able to add plugins to a free hosted version of WP at wordpress.com or do you need to download it to your servers?

lerchmo · 12-21-2006, 02:20 PM

no, only on your servers...

Crynos · 12-21-2006, 04:41 PM

Does anyone know a good gallery plugin? Preferably one that uses lightbox.
