Digging into Wordpress is a fantastic blog (and book) written by absolute masters of the wordpress realm. Recently they put up a poll on the best caching plugin for wordpress and the results clearly show that my favorite caching plugin, Hypercache is NOT the de facto standard. In fact it comes in a distant 3rd to w3 total cache and wp super cache. Oh well, I guess it pays to be different. However if you’re a wordpress newbie and looking for some new insights into wordpress, I absolutely recommend subscribing to their blog here.

Even though you’ve got the social network icons on the menu bar, underneath every post and your email plastered all over the website. Sometimes it’s worth it to have a contact form for visitors to contact you via the webpage. This means they don’t have to login into facebook/twitter or their email to contact you. There are advantages of course, if someone stumbled across your page from an airport computer, they’re less likely to logon to anything there but they’d be more than willing to send you an email via your contact form. Personally I receive a lot more messages from people via the contact form then on any social media. The old way still lives :)

As you probably know by now, I host my blog on NearlyFreeSpeech.net, they are easily the best host out there, why?

They AREEEE CHEEEEAP!!
