 Are you new to WordPress and have problem using the AdSense-Deluxe plugin I told you about yesterday?

Then, you should read the nice tutorial Erik Vossman wrote about how to get your blog text to wrap around the ads.

Have you added Google AdSense to your WordPress blog yet? Or maybe thought about it?

Then get the AdSense-Deluxe plugin that gives you a control panel where you can define unlimited “named” AdSense ad styles.

AdSense-Deluxe features:

• Define unlimited AdSense ad styles for use in your WordPress blog posts.
• Use multiple, different AdSense blocks within a single post.
• Enable/disable individual ad blocks with two clicks.
• Enable/disable where ads are shown (home page, post pages, archives, search pages, etc.)
• Change ad styles globally from the control panel.
• Includes an AdSense Preview tool within the AdSense-Deluxe control panel for quickly viewing the ads Google would place on a given web page.
• WordPress 1.5+ compatible (requires 1.5 or later)
• Simple installation, no understanding of plugin code or PHP required.
• Free.

If you are looking for a plugin adding random part of text in your blog, look no further and get Dustin Barnes’ plugin.

• It uses the database to store quotes, not a text file.
• You can call up a random quote, or a specific quote in your pages
• You can make a page with all your quotes.
• You can turn certain quotes “off,â€? without actually deleting them
• The quote layouts are done with CSS, so you can stick them anywhere and style them yourself

Attach Files is plugin that allows wordpress authors to easily attach data files to their posts in a way that will be familiar to anyone who has sent an email attachment.
Very useful if you want to share pdf ot txt files.

By default, WordPress sends pingbacks and trackbacks when you push the Publish button, regardless of the date you’ve assigned to the post. This means that if you future-date a post, any sites in your Update Services list will be notified of the fact that you posted, even though no one will yet be able to read it.

So you need the latest WordPress 1.5.2 and a free plugin: Wp-Cron

WP-Cron Future Pings plugin suppresses the default ping and trackback action when you post a new item dated in the future. Then (roughly) every 15 minutes the plugin checks to see if any future-dated posts are now visible to readers. If they are, the pings and trackbacks are sent!

WP-Cron is available for free at
http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/wp-cron/

Installation Tip:
Extract WP-Cron and WP-Cron Future Pings plugins from the zip file and upload them in your WordPress plugins directory.
Then activate both plugins in your admin section.
