Our 1000th Tweet
Just over a year ago, we chronicled our 100th Tweet with a blog post about it. Today, one year and 900 Tweets and a total of 140,000 characters later, we celebrate our 1000th Tweet with – you guessed it – a blog post and Tweet about it.
Kansas City Blogs
We thought we’d recognize a few local Kansas City blogs that we think do a good job of giving their readers a reason to come back for more.
WordPress Plugin: WordPress.com Stats
If you’re already using Google Analytics for WordPress (see our post on Google Analytics for WordPress) then you already have a ton of information about your blog’s traffic. So much information, in fact, that it may be hard to get a bird’s eye view. That’s where WordPress Stats comes in.

WordPress Plugin: Flexi Pages

Which brings us to Flexi Pages, a highly configurable WordPress sidebar widget to list pages and sub-pages. Can be used as an alternative to the default ‘Pages’ widget. It even has a special option to include a Home link, which can come in handy if the title of your home page is something other than Home.
WordPress Plugin: Advanced Category Excluder
Advanced Category Excluder doesn’t just let you omit categories from the category list. It lets you omit categories from just about every form of item there is. You can even specify categories to be omitted from your RSS feeds. It’s glorious!
WordPress Plugin: Wordbook
It’s handy to be able to post it to your blog and not have to turn around and then also post it to Facebook. That’s where Wordbook comes in. It’s a great little plugin that takes each blog post and submits it automatically to your Facebook feed (photos and all).
WordPress Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps
Maintaining this manual Google XML sitemap file for a blog would be a very tedious task to do manually, as the format is quite strict. What’s a blogger to do? Surely not update the sitemap XML file by hand after each post? Enter the Google XML Sitemaps plugin.
