If you’re just getting started blogging (or maybe even if you’ve been doing it a while), here are some WordPress plugins I really really like. I really like its functionality, plus it’s a great way for folks to search on your blog as well as on the Interwebz without actually leaving your blog. LinkWithin.

They might be helpful to you as you continue on your path as a blogging Grasshopper. This is hugely helpful, because each theme is different and, as a result, the way a post looks when published on one blog, might look completely different on another. I just get kicks out of mobile blogging w/ multimedia.

As some of you may know, I recently launched a photography blog, Photostry. And one thing I discovered very quickly about the photo community is if you want comments, you better start giving comments first. So how do I organize all of those blogs? Google Reader & Blog Commenting. In Google Reader, of course.

Blog design sure has come a long way since I started doing them 6-7 years ago. Sidebars were crammed full of stuff that would take you away from the site (blogrolls, sponsor ads, Google Ads) along with things that really didn’t need to be there (remember tag clouds?). Today we’re in the midst of a new evolution for blog sites.
