Exclude Pages from Navigation

If your theme does not have this built in, this is a plugin you will use a lot.  It allows you to decide which pages appear in the navigation bar.  It provides a simple checkbox on the editing page – you leave it checked to include pages and uncheck it to exclude pages.  Great easy to use plugin but ONLY if your theme doesn’t have that capability built in.

Page Links To

Mark Jaquith, one of the lead developers at WordPress,  wrote this plugin to allow you to link to pages off your blog without the need for an html redirect.  As he says, it’s ” Good for setting up navigational links to non-WP sections of your site or to off-site resources.”  This is a staple in all of my blogs!

Pretty Link

Pretty LInk lets you set up and track your own links.  It’s great for disguising those long, ugly affiliate links or ANY link you want to track.  It works outside of WordPress too.  You can use your ‘Pretty Link’ anywhere.  Great plugin!
