Deployment and configuration of wordpress blog engine (continue)

I still continue configuring my theme and trying different plug-ins and I continue to share my impressions. The last what I’ve changed on the theme is the way title is generated and I add a tool-tip for home link. These are small changes with no any special effect. Next I found some new plug-ins which I decided to try and us.

• About Me - currently, I’m not using it but I think that it is quite useful and will save time to the reader to go to about page. May be it is no t so important to have information about yourself on the blog but according to statistics many people went to about.
• AJAX Clendar - I found it very useful. It allows going through months without post back. It also has a nice option to show all month posts in the widget column without having to post back. Cool!
• Widget Logic - It is a very useful plug-in. It allows to add a logic to each plug-in. According to what you set a widget will be shown in a different situations. For instance, if you have About Me widget installed and it is shown everywhere but you want to show it at about page. In this case you can add into a widget logic box of the widget (is_home() || is_single()) and it will be displayed only at single post review and at home review. Much more information and nice discussion can be found at widget’s forum. Another example can be the case you using Similar Posts widget and you need it only in a single post review. In this case you can place is_single() into widget logic text box.
• Wordpress Popular Posts - A very nice plug-in which uses Wordpress Stats widget to retrieve statistics information about posts. According to this statistics it displays most popular posts. I really like it. I remember that I was using it at the time my blog was located at wordpress.com.
