What: WordPress Plug-ins

1) User Registration

• Subscribe2 – Seems promising but registration options are kind of limited, liking Register Plus better so far
• Register Plus – Like it a lot, seems to do everything I need, including custom registration page

Additional:

WP-FacebookConnect

Facebook integration plug-in, so if you don’t want to sign-up or anything, you can post comments with your facebook account.

WP-reCAPTCHA

Anti-spam

Going to test them out on a site now. Woohooo. More to come…

Purple’s a little bright on the site but I’ve been told it’s a promising custom CMS.

Having trouble uploading the image from work. Either way, here’s the link.

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/processpriority/ – Context menu program killer
• http://code.google.com/p/superf4/ – More powerful program killer
• https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9740 – Firefox add-on for selecting multiple checkboxes, great for gmail

I realized something today, if I’m not working on a website, and I’m just browsing the web, I use Chrome. I was unaware that I was doing this. Of course, any time I need to work on a website I use Firefox so that I have access to Firebug

One thing I was not aware of was “You have to use a Mac to develop iPhone apps.”, I had always assumed they’d play nice with Windows users, however I just realized, why on earth would they do that?

Perhaps in a years time, after I get a mac, I’ll experiment with iPhone apps.
