I have been a Firefox user since a very long time, but I rarely install new plug-ins and add-ons unless I really need them. Recently, I came across the following two Firefox add-ons that I made my experience with Firefox much more pleasant. Wish I had come across them before.
FaviconizeTab
This extension allows you to minimize the size of a tab to the size of a favicon. This is perfect if you usually open a lot of tabs in your Firefox browser. It also has an auto faviconize feature, whereby it will automatically faviconize URLs that you specify.
Tabloc
This add-on allows you to lock, shift lock and protect tabs. Whenever a link is clicked in a locked tab, it opens up in a new tab, whereas a protect tab prohibits the closing of a tab.
Use the above two extensions together and you shall optimize your Mozilla Firefox experience!
The NextGEN Gallery plugin can convert your WordPress blog to a full-fledged Image Gallery in just a few steps. This one is really good and has a lot of options and features to make you gallery even more powerful.
An interesting feature is that you can easily add watermark image or text to your images. It’s always a good idea to have a little watermark or text that displays your website address on the picture. No matter where someone sees your picture on the web, he or she will know where it originated from.
NextGEN Gallery also easily allows you to add effects when displaying the image. You may even make a slideshow of your best pictures and showcase it on the gallery. Overall, it’s a very cool WordPress plugin if you are going to upload a lot of images/pictures/photos on your blog.
Almost everyone online is on one or more of the social networking sites out there. If someone says he does not know what Facebook is, the only reason for that would be because he has been living in a cave since the last few years 
. Unlike this caveman, I have profiles on many of these social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Youtube, etc. So, I was looking for an easy way to connect my blog with these social media, and I found this great WordPress plugin – Social Media Widget.
It took me just a few minutes to install the plugin and set it up to show the icons and links to my profile on the various social networks. The icons are available in different styles and sizes. Even though most of the social media sites are supported in the plugin, you can also add a few custom URL of your own. You can see it in action on my sidebar, it looks something like this:
The Social Media Widget
Go check it out on the WordPress Plugin Directory for a full list of features.
I have finally added a contact form to the website. Now readers and clients can use this form to contact me more easily without me having to publish my email address openly. The problem with publishing an email address openly is that it doesn’t take long for spambots to catch your email address and in no time you start receiving all kinds of spam emails. No one likes to have spam in their inbox!!
How did I set up the contact form?
I used Takayuki Miyoshi’s Contact Form 7, which is a free plugin that can be downloaded from the WordPress plugin directory, together with Really Simple CAPTCHA for the CAPTCHA module at the bottom of the form (once again, to reduce spam mails in my inbox). That’s about it actually. And then I called the contact form I created with these plugins on a WordPress page.
Having difficulty setting up the form on your website?
Just use my contact form to get in touch with me and we can work something out. 
Hello Reader,
How are you doing? I hope you are doing great!
The last few days, I have been experimenting with a few WordPress plugins to automatically link a keyword in the posts/comments to a URL (a Web address). I need such a tool so that I don’t have to manually link the keywords when I am typing the post, and also to automatically change the links on all post if I need to.
I tested a few plugins, but apparently they have not been updated since a while and I was having problems making them work on the latest versions of WordPress. It’s really sad that some developers give up on upgrading their plugins. Well, we can’t blame them either, they are providing us with great tools and if no one supports them, sooner or later they will give up. So, if you like a WordPress plugin, and you want the developers to continue working on it, consider giving them a donation or at least spread the word around so that they get some visibility out there.
Anyways, here are the plugins that I came across that can (could) automatically link keywords to URLs:
But, the one that worked for me (so far) is:
- SEO Automatic Links (It’s easy to setup, easy to use and above all, it will make you some easy money if you use it well)
I hope you found some value in this post! WordPress is a great CMS (Content Management System) and if ever you are stuck with something, remember there is a WordPress community to help you out. You just need to ask!
