This week I thought we would go a little green and add The Good Human as our RSS feed of the week.
The Good Human, run by Dave who is an awesome guy, encourages us to be better at being human whether it’s through caring for the environment or just being better people. Plus Dave grew up near my cousins (though he didn’t know them) so I’ve got to highlight him here.
This morning I didn’t know what the RSS feed of the week was going to be. Continue …
If you are anything like me, you frequently make changes to your site. You edit the code, test new templates, and try a variety of plugins. And if you’re like me, you make mistakes and hope that no one is viewing your site when you’ve temporarily trashed it.
After numerous temporary and minor disasters I now use the maintenance mode plugin.

Has blogging or using WordPress changed your life? Is the change a positive one?
As I mentioned on Monday, blogging with WordPress has raised my confidence, given me a supportive online community, and enabled me to earn some money freelancing.

Siel at green LA girl has been blogging since July 2005 and had removed her archive list from the front page sidebar because it had become so unwieldy.
I investigated a variety of solutions and Siel decided to use the Clean Archives Reloaded plugin, which creates a collapsible list or archived entries on an archive page rather than listing them in the sidebar.
Take a second to look at how the plugin works on Siel’s site and then come back and follow the installation instructions.
To install and set this plugin up on your site do the following:
