This Saturday, the first stable wordpress 2.5 was finally released. After some delays and two beta release candidates, wordpress as reached another new level.

I could mention the new features that come with the new version, and how awesome the new control panel was, but i won’t do that. First, im not in the mood for that, and second, my first impression on the new cpanel was not that good lol.

Last week, with the release of the final version of the options theme, i decided to upgrade to the wordpress RC-2 in order to properly use the new theme, which was WP 2.5 specific.

I have recently installed the plugin Show Top Commentators. I have configured this plugin to show the top 5 commentators of the month for now.

This is another cool tool to stimulate blog participation by visitors. Besides the do follow link on the comment, you will get featured on the plugin if you manage to reach the top five. Your name will be shown, linked to your Website.

IF this wasn’t enough for you, every month i will write a post giving some link love to my 5 top posters. That’s another link for your and free exposure

Last week, during my scarce free time i decided to search for a wordpress plugin that could manage my ad sales on this blog in an almost automated way. I found a couple of them but none gave me exactly what i wanted.

So, i decided to invest some money to buy a tool for the first time to use on this blog. I decided to buy OIOpublisher. I knew this wordpress plugin for some time now and read good reviews about it. So it seemed the right choice for me.

One of the most usefull wordpress plugin i have ever found was the One Click Installer.

With this plugin, you can simply install wordpress themes and plugins at the distance of a few clicks. There is no need to login to your ftp account to upload the files. This plugin does the job for you.

You can choose to install the wanted  script from your computer or directly from the place where the plugin is hosted.

This script even has a mozilla plugin!

I really recommend this script. It made my life easier, and now i update my plugins in seconds!
