At some point late yesterday evening Wordpress released the 2.9.1 update patch which has the fixes to the bugs that were found in 2.9, and trust me there were a hell of a lot of bugs found in 2.9.

It fixes a lot of problems but the most important ones are the blank page when leaving comments and the scheduling bug (scheduled posts not publishing when meant to).

It also contains security solutions that were spotted in the original release.

I’d advise everyone to upgrade as soon as possible.

If you use Wordpress then you will know there are hundreds of thousands of themes and plug-ins available to do little tricks and improvements to your blog. It can be exhausting having to sift through the themes and plug-ins to find the better ones.

So let me do it for you!

Once a week (probably Saturday or Sunday) I shall be publishing two regular posts which will list the better plug-ins and the nicer themes. Hopefully this will make the job a lot more easy for you.

Bare in mine that they will bee free.

When you decide to make an income online from blogging you will find that you are faced with many choices. Do not be put off by that statement, the choices you make are not difficult ones but they do need time to form the decision.

One of the first choices you will come up against is which blogging platform will you use?

There are many blogging software scripts available on the internet and they will all claim to be the best. You’ve got B2Evolution, Blogger, Drupal, Livejournal, Nucleus CMS and Wordpress, to name just a couple out of the hundreds available.

In my opinion Wordpress is the king of the blogging platforms by a clear mile and a half. It is just so customisable and it comes with thousands and thousands of lovely free themes and plug-ins to make it do even more than what it could do without them.

Why, with Wordpress you can use it as a blog, a web site, a CMS web site, a review web site, a Youtube clone web site, and that is just a couple of the things I have discovered for myself. None of the other scripts offer any of these.

With my own blog I have managed to create a free newsletter, create a page so that Google Search results appear on it, login using my OpenID account instead of my Wordpress account, and so much more.

Let me make this choice easier.

If you want to make a success of your blog and earn money with it then there is no better option than Wordpress.
