Plugins I Used for 49ersGoldMine.com
Posted by: admin in Blogging, CMS, Web Design, Web Development Tags=I recently had the privilage of helping a great client of mine put together a blog centered around the San Francisco 49ers football team. The idea was to create a community style blog where people could come and be a part of the blog and site. It was a fun project to work on, and I wanted to give you a little insight into what Wordpress Plugins were used to make all the magic happen!
Here are the basics that I used of course:
- Askimet
- All in one SEO Pack
- cForms
- Sitemap Generator
- Google Analyticator
- Recent Comments
- Google XML Sitemaps
- Popular Posts
- Recent Posts
- Search Unleashed
- Sociable
- WPADS
- WPpolls
And here are the more unique ones I used:
Tubepress
Used this to create a video page with multiple 49ers videos pulling from a YouTube playlist! Ended up adding some seriously cool multipmedia interactivity!
WBexam
This was used for a 49ers quiz that the webmaster wanted to put together on the site. This plugin made it easy for him to create and manage quizes and create a scoring algorithm for them.
Sticky Menu
He wanted a little more a custom navigation. So I used this plugin to to create multiple menus on the site that were all manageable form the backend.
Feedlist
This was used on the homepage to pull a list of most recent blog articles from around the web about the 49ers. I used Feedlist because it allowed me to control with some simple PHP code what info to pull from each RSS feed and what not too. Pretty cool stuff.
I hope this gives you some helpful ideas and inspiration for a blog that you are putting together. Take care and have fun with your wordpress building!

Not using Business Directory for Wordpress? Why not? It would be a great way to get people to participate, and to increase your SEO with some good listings of other fan sites, or perhaps fan resources. Check it out at: http://businessdirectory.squarecompass.com/
