Do you have at least a minimal understanding of code? If so you may be able to create your own Wordpress plug-in or plug-ins. I am a firm believer in learning as many skills as you can by the process of self-education. If you want to learn how to create your own Wordpress plug-ins there is a valuable resource page available from the creators of Wordpress.

Just visit Writing a Plugin.

It has links to many plug-in resources, and a link to a page on how to submit and promote your plug-in for other people to use.

This is from an email dated May 31, 2008 so it’s a few days old. Are you familiar with such websites as MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog. These are two great sites loosely in my opinion categorized as social networking sites for getting website traffic to your blogs.

Well the news that I received is that BlogCatalog just got a facelift. The owners who took over BlogCatalog a year and a half ago focused on adding features. They have finally finished these updates.

The new features include:
* A new homepage
*New navigation
*New tabs in groups, account settings, dashboard, and user profiles
*Updated blog listing pages and much, much more.

If you are not a member of BlogCatalog simply go to http://www.blogcatalog.com and create an account and then join me as a contact at http://www.blogcatalog.com/user/kstien1959.
