Trying to find the best wordpress plugin at times can be tricky, with so many out there appearing to do the same thing its hard to know which are the best for you, this list should help you decide. WordPress has become one of the most feature rich content management systems on the market today. As a webmaster it is the only platform I tend to work in due to its openness, extensibility and large supportive community.  Today WordPress has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. As a result a huge market has grown for creating high quality themes and plugins for all manner of uses.

However even though it has pretty good documentation and the install process is straightforward I found there was nowhere that really told me how to set up everything to get it working at its optimal settings.  Thats when I came across this tutorial.  I've included a downladable pdf of the guide if you would rather read this but the following information should help you optimise your websites load speed. I managed to take make my homepage load in 2.5 seconds and rank at 80 (Grade B) on YSlow, still with some work left to be done i.e HTML requests/CSS Sprites.

I have been writing over at my blog about writing compelling copy for the web. Now a day’s many people are using Wordpress as their blogging platform or Content Management System, because Wordpress provides flexibility, easy customization, and tailored Search Engine Optimisation. Most people who use Wordpress are aware of basic search engine optimisation (SEO) and will be aware of some of the popular Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) plugins available to them.  However for high search engine placement they need to adopt more advanced techniques (Keyword Analysis, Split Testing, compelling Copy etc) . As we all know Copy is king when it comes to Googles 'Bots'.  If you want to get Good Wordpress SEO with minimal work, here is a cool and very popular wordpress plugin,  Scribe.
