Word Press Must Haves

Here are 3 of the 5 recommended word press plug-ins suggested by thewordpresswizard.com

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!

Idea: Let us force a line break

WordPress Source – Soni

An easy hack for inserting a line break is to break up your tags. For example, to get some extra space between a bolded title caption above a pic and the block of main text above it, I’ll bold the caption text, then add a return between the first bold tag and the text, like so:

<b>
text</b>
[image]

That forces a break after the opening tag (which doesn’t show up), thereby giving me a break.

I’ve found this works well, even if you have nothing you want to format. Just insert a random set of html tags (I usually use the italics) wherever you want a line break, then split them up, like so:

<i>
</i>

They won’t show up in your post, but they will create a line break. You can also do the same thing between images by splitting the image code between the link html and the img src html.
