As I get more proficient with blogging, I am finding more and more really cool plugins and tools to help. One such plugin that I found recently was sooooo way cool, I just had to share it in it’s own post.
WordPress Tweaks is a plugin that adds a “Tweaks” page to your WordPress options. Each individual tweak can be enabled/disabled at will using a checkbox. These tweaks include:
Admin
- Disable tag autocomplete
- Disable the Dashboard
- Disable the Flash uploader
- Remove the width restraint on administration pages
Comments and Pings
- Disable self-pinging
- Open external comment links in new windows
- Show comments in reverse order
Posts
- Open external post links in new windows
- When displaying post excerpts on archive and search pages, display a “Read more »” link instead of “[...]“
Nofollow
- Add to post comment links
- Add to “Read more” links
- Add to tag cloud links
- Add to the “Register” and “Login” links
- Remove from comment author links
- Remove from comment body links
SEO
- Only show the tag cloud widget on the homepage
- Show post excerpts (instead of full content) on archive pages
Security
- Disable directory listing for my plugins folder
- Hide WordPress’s version number from my theme and feeds
Theme and Appearance
- Add code references to favicon.ico
- Remove white space from pages list
WordPress 2.3 Legacy Fixes
- Rename “Blogroll” admin menu item to “Links”
- Fix: current_page_item on page_for_posts
Now, if you are new to blogging, some of these tweaks might not make a lot of sense to you right now. Trust me, just get the plugin and enable most of the items. They all help!

Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
You could definitely see your expertise within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart.
