A Handful of Useful WordPress Plugins

Earlier we shared with you the plugins that we use in your blogs. Today, we are updating that list with another six of them.

1. Popularity Contest

Popularity Contest keeps a count of your post, category and archive views, comments, trackbacks, etc. and uses them to determine which of your posts are most popular. There are numerical values assigned to each type of view and feedback; these are used to create a ‘popularity score’ for each post. Very useful when you want to offer your visitors the best of your posts.

Design – Logo for Click.aneeskA.com

‘Click!’

The first image that comes to my mind when I hear ‘click’ is that of a cursor or a mouse.

But ‘Click’ can also be the sound of somebody taking a photo. If you are using a film camera, the sound comes when the film is exposed by the shutter and the next frame is advanced. In an SLR camera, the sound is generated when the mirror inside the camera rotates to direct the light on to the sensor or film. In a digital camera, the sound is generated electronically to give the ‘feel’ of taking a picture. There is usually a provision to turn OFF the sound.

FULLfx decided to name his photoblog as ‘Clickography‘ and he entrusted the logo design with me.

Sriram is an IT engineer by profession who believes that photography is more than just the click of a button.  A devotee to the fine art of photography, he excels in telling a story using the stillness of life. His urge to travel to the lesser known places in India has developed his body of work over the last four to five years. An avid fan of Indian classical music, he enjoys caricaturing and is a self-confessed foodie!

I tossed a handful of questions at him to understand what makes this man click on almost every single day.
