Serious Monthly Roundup – July 2009

I can’t believe that another month has passed, time flies when you are having fun :) Below are posts for the month of July 2009. You might have missed some of them that could help you.

Monthly Roundup Posts

Website News/Updates

Help required with new WP plugin I want
I need help in identifying a good WordPress plugin developer as I have a small project that I need done.

Where Am I? What am I doing?
Just an update of what I have been up to as I have not posted that much.

My Top 25 sites for June 2009
I have listed the top 25 sites that I visited in the month of June 2009 which I think could help out a lot. Their topics range from blogging tips, tricks and news, personal sites and more.

A few Cool Changes
I made a few alterations to the site with regards to boxes, Twitter, better use of white space and even created a button you can grab to promote Serradinho.

Thesis and my Traffic Sources
I have read many articles about the pro’s and cons of using Thesis and it’s SEO benefits. I’m not going to give you the ins and outs of Thesis, but rather give you the cold facts that I know are true and 100% correct in my case.

Do you want my Entrecard credits?
I have over 11800 EC’s that I would like to get rid of. I tried to cash them out in the beginning of June and I am so fed up that nothing happened even though many others say they already got paid out.

Another Award for Me – Friendship Chain
Another award from my good friend. Metz has awarded me with the Friendship Chain award and he always seems to remember me and this makes me happy.

WordPress

Plugins

How many WordPress plugins are YOU using?
I thought of sharing my plugins I’m currently using on Serradinho.com. I know many of us use a lot of WordPress plugins and we actually shouldn’t.

Newest WordPress Plugins 09/07
Here are this weeks WordPress plugins 09/07. Some amazing new plugins that you could implement on your site.

Newest WordPress Plugins 02/07
A round up of new WordPress plugins until 7th  of July 2009. To many to mention, but go have a look and let me know what you think of them.

Themes

Premium FlexxTheme Theme
FlexxTheme was created specifically for people who want more versatility out of their blogs and websites.  Their idea was to develop a theme that doesn’t limit your creativity or desire for multiple layouts all the while keeping things simple enough for beginners, but robust enough for advanced users.

FlexSqueeze WordPress Theme
They saw a need for implementing sales pages in WordPress and created a spin-off of Flexibility 2 with a sales page function.

Funnies

Funny Laughter

Funny: Yoga for Drunks
I’m sure many have heard about this new site showing drunk people in yoga positions. I have had a few good laughs on this one. It looks like it does not matter whether you are thin, fat, beautiful, ugly. Your picture will be taken.

14 Reasons to get a Dog rather than a Wife
I was browsing Michael Aulia’s site as usual and came across a funny post and just had to share it with my readers.

Movies

Ice Age 3 Movie
Tyron and I went to go watch Ice Age 3, we have already seen the previous 2 and knew this one would be excellent.

Downloads

FREE eBook downloads 14/07
Today I have four ebooks for you to download, yes four ebooks. Get them now and go through them later and let me know what you think of them. eBooks are ‘Twitter And WordPress’, ‘The Wow Effect’, ‘Atomic Cheese’ and ‘Mouse Hunting Made Easy’.

Twitter

Need to know more Twitter Lingo?
I came across a repository for the meanings and manglings of words and language on Twitter. I have to say that not even I knew that some of them existed.

Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed last months posts as I had a few laughs here and there. Which one was your favorite? I know I was not very active towards the end of the month, but I was working on posts for August. I have already scheduled over 20 posts for the month of August and I hope you enjoy them too.

A bit curoius about your standards since you claim to not be very active when you at the same time publish 20 posts within 30 days. :)

Anyway, my personal favourite was your list of top 25 sites. It’s always great to find new bloggers within your niche and there was a few new for me. And of course, I love your weekly list of new plugins for Wordpress. There’s always a new one that seems interesting.

@Stefan – you must have noticed that I was not very active for the last two weeks of July. I was very busy with scheduling posts for August. I had written a few only. I have tried my best to have a post a day in August (Monday to Friday).

Some of them are personal and others not, tried to do a bit of this and that.

I’m also starting to like my WordPress plugins update more and more each week. I’m not saying I don’t, it’s just that I have seen some great plugins while posting about them and also helping others out.

You seem to be very active in the blogosphere! It’s great you keep writing interesting posts quite often! I’ll take a look at the posts I didn’t read yet. Thank you for posting the links to save us time.

@Benjamin – not a problem. I try and post everyday, but I get days where I don’t and I need to start catering for that.

I guess it’s safe to say that I have been officially here for a little over a month, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

I think I have read just about every one of those posts, as a matter of fact I know I did. I love the drunk Yoga people.

George, I have been observing this concept of Monthly or Weekly round up on many blogs. Does it really help the visitors? I am planning to do the same on my blog, so just asking..

@Tech-Freak Stuff – it helps the visitors and your blog with backlinks. Think about doing it as it will help your blog in the long run

George

I have personally benefitted from the Twitter and Wordpress book – it had helped me in understanding how Twitter works and how it can help with my travel blog promotion.
