Weekend Reading: Camping Weekend Edition + A List of WordPress Plugins That I Use

By Kevin

Here is your weekend reading:

Site Changes

I’ve recently added a popular posts plugin, which shows the 5 most popular posts along the right sidebar. Since the statistics only started being collected as of yesterday, the rankings are biased in favor of the most recent posts.

I’ve also added a top commentators plugin. I’m displaying the top 10 commentators to the site on the right sidebar; the links are all dofollow, so please comment and enjoy the link love heading back your way!

In fact, it’s time I give some credit where credit is due: Here is the current list of software being used directly on this blog:

Blogging platform: WordPress.

Theme: MountKailash.

Plugins:

    Ha ha that is an interesting morph…. I guess we are lucky Bush Senior and Obama’s mum never met in dim lit bar!

    Seems like a robust list of useful plugins you are using. I just turned the cache plugin off as I think I need to read up on configuring it a bit better as it seemed to be affecting the serving if my adsense ads….. I would be interested in knowing if you have seen a drop in clicks since you started using it?

    Thanks,

    Forest.

      Hi Forest,

      I have seen issues when combining plugins such as ‘Ozh Who sees ads’ and ‘WP Super Cache’. I now have the ad code directly embedded in the theme, with only a small script to check the age of the post. I think you could do this with the plugin as well and not run into problems.

      It’s when you start to add rules that things get messed up. For example, if you have a rule for search engine traffic, and you have WP super cache enabled, then once the ad is cached the same ad will show for all visitors, whether they came from an SE or not. The solutions to this are to use a plugin that uses AJAX to get around this (haven’t seen any), a plugin that performs client-side tests (haven’t seen any), or just turn off caching. 😉

        Ooops I just replied to the wrong blog what i meant to say here :).

        Anyway, I am using a plugin called Why Do Work to display my adsense on many pages. I will try w3 cache again in a few weeks when I have time to sit down and go through all the setup properly.
