Dragil Blog – San Francisco Bay Area Web Design and Web Development Company Located in Palo Alto California

Before we even looked into changing the blog’s design we downloaded and installed several helpful WordPress plugins such as:

1. “Wordpress Automatic Upgrade” (allows me to automatically keep this wordpress installation up to date)

2. “All in one SEO pack” (Helps me to edit all Search Engine relevant fields such as page title, page description and meta tags)

3. “Google Sitemap Generator” (Creates a Google sitemaps compliant XML-Sitemap of my blog so that Google’s crawler has an easier job indexing my blog entries)

4. “One Click Plugin Updater” (Provides single-click plugin upgrades in WordPress 2.3 and up, visually marks plugins that have update notifications enabled, allows to easily install new plugins)

5. “Share This” (Allows users to add posts to the most popular social bookmarking sites, or to send post links via email, AIM, Facebook or MySpace)

6. “WordPress Security Scan” (Scans this installation for any security loopholes and vulnerabilities.)

7. “WordPress Super Cache” (Increases the WordPress’ speed by producing static html files for most of the blog entries)

8. “Google Analytics for WordPress” (Helps adding the Google Analytics tracking code)
