My post on my experience getting started with self-hosting and Wordpress.org was a big hit, and I’d been intending to follow up with another post about some of the things I’m learning as I proceed - tips and tricks for making my blog more efficient, interactive, and so on. I’ve been trying out a number of basic Wordpress.org plugins and thought I might write a similar review-slash-primer on those.

Instead of doing a loooooong post here, I’ve jumped on the Guidespot bandwagon and posted “Wordpress.org Plugins - Getting Started with the Basics” for your viewing pleasure. Watch out - it may be educational and therefore hazardous to your health.

I’m hoping you guys can help me out. Would you take a quick look at it on Guidespot and let me know what you think? Is it too technical? Do I give enough references? Enough or too much information on personal experience? Especially if you don’t self-host yet - is it SCARY? This is my first try at Guidespot and I want to be sure that the content I’m providing is really going to be useful for people who want to try things like this.

I am also probably going to turn that previous Wordpress post of mine into a Guidespot thingermajig at some time, since a lot of people wrote to me and said it was helpful, etc. I think I’ll go retroactively and call that Part I and this guide will be Part II.

Thoughts? I’d really appreciate your feedback. Pretty please leave a comment here or on the Guidespot page, or email me directly. Thanks muchly!
