Hello all,

This weeks subject again is a nifty WordPress plugin!  I don’t know if any of you also have the issues with wanting to put content on your website with out cluttering up the aesthetics?  Well…sometimes it may feel like there’s no hope if you havent got a PHD in javascript however….a solution is in sight!

If, like me, you know basics in coding and you know what looks good but you just dont know how to get it on your site then fear not…TheThe Fly have come to the rescue!

They offer a really great plugin that enables you to create tabs and javascript accordians on your WordPress website without having to use reems and reems of complicated javascript!

The Plugin is simple to use and all you have to do is place a little bit of code on the page you want your tabs, toggles or accordians on, fill in the content and titles where appropriate and bobs your uncle, you have a load of content all contained nice and neatly and the aesthetics of your site live on!

On that note…get your creative content hat on and get cracking with filling your sites with cracking content

Over and out,

SEO & Twitter Word Press Plug In

Hello!

As I am sure most of you are aware, plugins are a big part to getting your blog running smoothly and looking ace!  As a new kid on the block Kickstart has been fumbling around the encyclopedia of Word Press plugins in order to try and streamline ourselves and get down with the kids on the plugin front.

I wanted to highlight a couple of the ones we have siphoned out of the not-so-great plugins that are out there.

Firstly…as SEO is one of the main topics we cover here at Kickstart it’s only right that we work towards optimising our blog.  There are a whole host of SEO plug ins out there and I think we’ve hit the nail on the head with the one we’re using at Kickstart.  We’ve gone with All In One SEO. This is a nifty little plugin that enables you to edit each and every title tag, meta description and keywords for all your pages and posts including the homepage!

You don’t need any HTML or coding knowledge whatsoever! The plugin automatically places a great little box underneath every post and you simply update and optimise away!

The second great plug in we’ve adopted is one to display our Tweets! Again, there is a wealth of options out there for Twitter plugins, some of which we’ve tried and tested and not thought so great. However this one is great! Twitter Goodies automatically generates Twitter buttons under every post that enables anyone reading your blog to easily Tweet any of your super duper posts! It also implements a live Twitter feed screen onto your blog which you can customise the colour scheme of so you can match it to your background and blog!

All in all, two great Word Press plugins which make your blog look great and (hopefully!) rank well!

Over and out Kickstartees and happy plugging!

Index Me Please Mr Big G

Hey all,

Just a quick one…we all know how we want to be indexed by the big “G” as quickly as possible to get us up there in the SERPS…well I was sat in quandry as my minimal dev skills could not stretch to working out how to install my sitemap into my word press theme so on the advice of a friend I searched for a plugin! I found one called XML Sitemap Feed and so far so good!

It did exactly what it said it would and I could instantly view a sitemap which is also compatible with Google Webaster Tools!

However, as they say, the proof is in the pudding so watch this space and we’ll see if it works!

Fingers Crossed,

Kickstart
