Wordpress Reports - Google Analytics and Feeburner

This is a brilliant plugin. Quite simple really - it tracks your Google Analytics and Feedburner reports without you having to login. They are contained within your Wordpress install. Makes the whole thing so easy to view. Thanks Jo.

From his site:

WordPress by default doesn’t come with any sort of web site reporting tools (and it really shouldn’t). So if you want to know how many people visited your site, which pages they viewed, or where they came from, you’ll need to either rely on your raw web logs or use an online tracking service provided by a third party. There are many different third party web tracking services out there, but the two free and popular third party solutions that I highly recommend are Google Analytics (for web traffic) and Feedburner (for syndicated traffic).

Does anyone know of any good sites or tutorials on this subject. I don’t want to use a template or anyone else’s theme or CSS style. Any thoughts?

Nothing about templating in there but if you get that far give me a shout and help then.

Google Analytics for Wordpress

This is the first beta release of a WordPress plugin that can add Google Analytics to your website without you needing to code one single set of ’s.

I have it running on this site and it seems to be working just fine so far.

This site has a whole host of useful plugins. Take a look at Headzoo Products.

The plugins include aLinks, Edit N Place, Live, Flickr Spinnr, Net Bible, Post Tools, Create N Place, Digg Badge and WP Cheatsheets.

From the authors own site:

aLinks is a free WordPress plugin that takes a set of phrases you commonly use and turns them into links whenever you include them in a post, but really it’s much more than that!

Since the plugin was first released in August 2005, it’s been downloaded over 10,000 times, and many successful
bloggers are using aLinks to turn their blogs into money making machines. How? By using aLinks to effortlessly
create affiliate links within their blog posts.

Thanks Headzoo

To get a tagging simple installed and running is something I dream about. Ok that sounds a bit sad really but I odn’t actually dream about it all day long! A good tagging system is a major benefit to a website and seo work, and so is important. So happening on this plugin was good news. Does it work? Well yes it does. I installed it and got it working immediately. No problems configuring or even understanding how the plugin works. I have used both Jerome’s and UTW plugins and they are just not as polished. Install and use this plugin you will be impressed!

From the authors website comes this:

The two mostly used tagging plugins are the Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) and Jerome’s Keywords.

I think most people use UTW, however especially its performance has been criticized in the past. Also, it does not provide a auto-complete type-ahead drop-down menu when tagging posts but it always displays all tags of the entire Wordpress installation which can be quite annoying if you have really many tags.

Jerome’s Keywords is unfortunately still in beta and it seems that the project will not be continued.

With Simple Tagging Plugin, I’ve coded another tagging plugin for Wordpress which is based on Jerome’s Keywords plugin and can import all your tags from UTW or Jerome.

My thanks to Michael.

iMP Links is a wordpress plugin that displayed your link collection from in two columns without table. Using unordered list with CSS styling. In the top of link collection there is a category jumper to make your collection is easy to find. You can also exlude many category if you want. Manage all your links via wordpress admin panel at link manager (blogroll in wordpress 2.1) section.

Wordpress Survey Plugin

The SurveyGizmo plugin for WordPress gives you the best of both worlds. Use SurveyGizmo to build powerful, sophisticated and custom styled surveys, but stay in WordPress to monitor responses. The plugin also makes it easy to quickly edit, preview, or grab your publishing links.

WordPress-to-WordPress Import

I know there are quite a lot of folks who have wanted to merge WordPress blogs or in one way or another import from one blog into another. The feature is coming in the next major build of WordPress and is already in place on WordPress.com blog. Trust me. But for now, I have wrapped that code into a plugin. I’ve already merged two blogs and there are other reasons I need this as well. It works. I have not had a lot of other extensive testing, but for me it works.
