I’ve made a few changes to the site, specifically applying the latest upgrade to WordPress 2.3 and a few new plugins. Here’s what’s behind the engine now:
The All-In-One SEO Pack: Modifies titles and meta tags for better search engine optimization. The site was doing fairly well before, but it’d be nice to make sure all content here is accessible.
Google XML Sitemaps: Generates a sitemap XML file (that you can use with Google Webmaster Tools) from your existing WordPress structure.
Share This: Adds a fairly inobtrusive link to the bottom of posts allowing submission to social networking and news aggregation sites.
WP-Cache: Caches page contents so that your database server doesn’t get reamed as badly. I’d already been running a previous version, and the only annoying thing is that if you’re editing a theme, you have to turn it off (or delete the cached pages every time) and remember to turn it back on when done.
The theme being used here is a slightly tweaked version of Mandigo Blue, with some sidebar code modifications and added support for Google Adsense/Analytics code.
