So…. some how I’ve managed to totally wipe my blog out, not very “IT Guy Extraordinare-isque”.
Not too worry I do have a backup. However instead of it being a quick restore job. It will be a very long and time consuming manual copy and paste job. About 150 entries all up…
This will give me time to go through all posts and tag them correctly though - which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now. Also I’ve moved the blog url and setup a brand spanking new Wordpress install - all clean and shiny.
I’ve picked out the following plugins which seem to all work in harmony at present.
- K2 - The wonderfully awesome Wordpress theme.
- Akismet - Spam be gone!
- All in One SEO Pack - Being a web dude figured I should set an example ;)
- FD Feedburner Plugin - One quick way to email subscribe to my blog, I need to find something a little closer to home though…
- Google XML Sitemaps - Again more example setting stuff - plus why not make it easy to index my blog. The Way Back Machine hasn’t been by for a while though…
Math Comment Spam Protection - Why moderate manually, if you can’t add I’m not sure your comments are wanted.Doesn’t play nice with K2…- WassUp - Stats are cool, haven’t used this one before though - all stats packages I’ve used so far don’t do what I want yet, that is follow a persons visit from start to end, properly - this topic will be left for another time.
- WordPress.com Stats - More stats, this is offical WP gear here, must be good, we’ll see…
- WP-Cache - fast sites are great sites, so you need this one :)
The only plugin missing is some sort of OpenID authentication. I’d like some sort of photo stream too - but that can wait - I have a project I want to complete around photo sharing, I’ll get to it one day. Maybe by then Flickr or Google will already do what I want, they nearly do. Oh yeah, need to get a Twitter feed into here as well…
Fun times ahead =)
