WPAds is a Wordpress plugin for showing and rotating ads in your blog. You only have to define the ad positions and the ads you want to rotate in each position, and WPAds will serve your ads randomly. WPAds can show contextual ads (ie, Google AdSense, Yahoo Publishers Network, etc) and also image banners.
This should freshen up and change up your ads nicely. It could help alleviate “Ad Blindness” of your readers by providing them something different instead of the same old ads in the same place all the time.

WordPress Tiger Administration is a plug-in that changes the look and feel of the WP Admin page. I think it makes it a little easier to read and navigate your way around and use WP Admin.
Compatible with Safari and FireFox. Will Not work with current versions of Internet Explorer.

DoFollow is an easy to install WordPress plugin that disables the the automatic “nofollow” that is standard with all WordPress Blogs. If you want to reward your readers who comment, this will allow their link to be scraped by the search engines and credited to them. You can also set a time frame for allowing DoFollow and revert to the standard “nofollow” to help avoid Spam.
It is suggested you already have good Spam protection like Akismet or something similar.

Comment Timeout is a WordPress plugin that allows you to selectively close comments on your blog to help reduce spam. There are three ways in which it can do this:
- It lets you close comments on old entries that do not have an ongoing, active discussion.
- It examines your spam queue and your Bad Behavior logs to let you close comments and trackbacks across the board to troublesome IP addresses.
- It allows you to reject comments that contain too many hyperlinks, or links in BBCode format.
I have found this very useful. Instead of me having to go in and manually change the status of comments, I have it done automatically. Akismet doesn’t catch All the Spam and this helps a lot.

BDP Referral Tracker… allows you to display statistics in your sidebar on
- the total number of hits on your site since the plugin was installed
- the average number of hits per day and per hour
- the number of hits in the past (n) day(s),
- the sites that have provided a click-through to your site in the past (n) day(s) (with a count of the number of click-throughs),
- your most popular pages, and
- search terms that came to your site
Update: I installed Referral Tracker on my Main Blog in the Footer if you would like to take a look at it in action. Just be aware that it took a LOT of TWEAKING to get it to work the way I wanted it to, I had to put the Titles for the various Results in Myself. They are Not a part of the Download.

Optimal Title (Elastic Dog)… is a WordPress plugin that mirrors the function of wp_title() exactly, but moves the position of the ’separator’ to after the title rather than before. This allows you to have your blog name tacked on to the end of the page title instead of having it appear first.
I personally had a few problems with the plug-in. It seems it wasn’t compatible with other plug-ins I use. Not everyone has had these same problems I experienced. You can read my Full Review on my Working at Home on the Internet blog.
