   Hey, Yaro, everyone.

   Been reading you (and listening to your podcasts) for a couple of weeks now. Great stuff. Liked it so much that it was one of the reasons I finally decided to start my own blog.

   Question about Wordpress plug-ins. I am far from tech-savvy when it comes to code and spent 2 hours today using filezilla to try and add a plug in to my blog but it couldn’t connect (and 2 hours yesterday trying to upload a favicon, but that’s another story.)

   It made me wonder if I am even allowed to do it for my free blog hosted by Wordpress. Do I have to have my site hosted by someone else in order to use plugin? Or pay for the right to use them?

   Thanks

   Chris

   I suggest if you are having trouble to go the help at wordpress.org Great info there and you will always find someone has had the same problem as you before.

   Chris,

   It seems that you are not allowed to use plugins on your Wordpress.com free blog. Please see the following thread by Lorelle who is an experienced WP user. I believe she is involved in WP
   http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/02/25/monetizing-wordpress-plugins/#comment-398901

   You can buy your own hosting and install wordpress.org themes on their. This will allow you to do whatever you wish as you would own the domain and the blog. Whatever you do, don’t buy your domain and hosting at the same place!
   I suggest GoDaddy.com for domain names and
   Hostgator.com for hosting

   Hope this helps

   Paulo – if your host has Cpanel and Fantastico, then installing a blog on a sub domain http://www.yourdomain.com/blog would be a breeze.

   Take care
   Monika

   Hi Yaro, thanks for the list of plug-ins. I’ve just started a new blog and your tips have been useful. Can you share what exact plug-ins do you use for:
   - Top articles / popular articles
   - Tags (I’m currently using ‘Simple Tags’ but the tags don’t show below my posts, are you using something else?)
   - Related article
   - Subscribe to comments

   Thanks Yaro, appreciate your feedback.
   Cheers,
   Sant

   Thanks, Monika! Shocked the heck out of me that Wordpress.com and .org are like different species. Would explain why I couldn’t make it work.

   And the other poster was right: I should have started at Wordpress…

   Thanks to both of you.

   To those who asked… I don’t believe that you can do much editing to the free Wordpress blogs. You either have to pay for the premium service (they host your blog) or get your own domain.

   Sant – The plugins you asked for are as follows… Just do a search for them in the wordpress plugins database.

   -Popularity Contest
   -Ultimate Tag Warrior
   -Sphere: Related Content
   -Subscribe to Comments

    Bryan, the “Sphere: Related Content” plugin seems to show only other articles from Sphere. I’m looking for a plugin to show related articles/posts within my own blog, that will show below a posts. Like the one being used at entrepreneur’s-journey.

    Also, I’ve been trying to find the “My MSN +” chicklet but so far no luck. I don’t seem to find it in Feedburner. Can I get it somewhere else?

    One last question that might be off topic, does BlogMastermind cover technical stuffs like which plugin to use, how to configure them, etc?

    Thank you very much Bryan. You’ve been very helpful.

    Tech-tag is handy tool for the lazy boy. They don’t like mod the WP by themselves.

    Hi I’ve been using wordpress, it really is a great way to build websites.

    Recently all my posts have appeared in reverse order. I don’t know why, I’ve tried the reverse pluggins to switch them back but it doesn’t work!

    Any ideas

    Hey everybody. This is Paulo ( http://www.paulopics.com/blog ). I left a comment on October 22 2007 saying that I was having a problem instaling the wordpress. I want to thank everybody that offer sugestions. I finaly called my server, and the problem was that they had some wrong configuration… they fixed it in 5 minutes. Now I have a blog. Thank you again!

    “WP-Offline lets your readers cache your entire blog for offline reading using Google Gears. I don’t know why anyone would want to cache an entire blog to read it offline… but it’s available.”

    Yeah, I don’t think I would want this anyways because let’s say I had ads or wanted people to link to my site, etc. If it was offline, it would be a lot harder for the user to do any of these things.

    I look forward to the new intelligent content ad insertion theme particularly. Just from viewing your link I’m very excited about it, it seems like it will make my life way easier. Thanks so much for letting me know about this.

    Hey guys, talking about plugins, keep your eyes open for plugin “top comments”.
    Some bHats hacker are using a trick, hijacking id’s to get some juice.
    If you u are using worpress/plugins, make sure to protect your pages.
    I wrote a post about some protection on my Online Marketing Australia page.
    Cheers

    They just keep coming up with new plugins for wordpress. I thought the wp offline was interesting. I guess it would make sense for someone who really wants to read a blog, but is about to get on an airplane, or some other time when they would not have an available internet. Good stuff Yaro.
