My Wordpress Specs

Posted on 17th September 2008 by Brandi

I think it’s important to preface this whole “Are You Wordpressed?” thing with the exact “specs” I’m running.  Most of these are common for any Wordpress Blog I set up, and have become quite comfortable with the plug-ins I use and the system I use.

So, without further ado, this is what I’ve got going on behind the scenes.

First off, we’ll start with theme.  I was thinking what better, than to use a Wordpress-looking based theme.  The theme I am using is Word Press’d by Blog2Life.  For those who aren’t aware, this theme is based on what the admin/dashboard area of Wordpress looks like.  Clean, simple, easy-to-use.

I am running Wordpress 2.6.1, which can be found HERE.

These are the plug-ins I have installed, and use these same ones on most every Wordpress blog I set up:

  • Comment-Luv
  • Popularity Contest (Also comes with the theme)
  • Add-To-Any
  • WP-Statpress
  • Lighter Admin Drop Menus (Awesome Dashboard Plug-in.  Rearranges the Dashboard for easier navigation)
  • Google Sitemap Generator
  • C-Forms
  • WP Ajax Edit Comments (You’re welcome :P)
  • Feedcount (A Feedburner plugin)

For advertising I have chosen Performancing Ads.  It’s got a wonderful Interface, it’s easy-to-use and FREE!  Check it out.

I will be using Feedburner for Email subscriptions, subscribe, subscribe!  I have added gravatar functionality so we can see all your pretty faces when you comment.  And last, but never least, I will add Entrecard, as a social-networking tool.

What do you think?  Do you do things a lot different than I have done?  Give me your comments.

(I will also be adding the related posts plugin.  After I hunt it down.)
