WordPress WednesdaysMaxBlogPress Stripe Ad is a great, non obtrusive addition to most WordPress installations!

Use it to display a welcome message, reminder to visitors, an affiliate link, an “extra special” link to a favorite or popular post, and more - the sky is the limit, as long as the text and html will fit in the stripe!

As you can see from the screenshots, setting it up is a little cumbersome - a lot different than the average plugin - but it seems to be worth it if you want a low-key, customizable message to appear at the TOP of your screen when your visitors come to your WordPress powered site.

WordPress WednesdaysThe Odiogo Listen Button adds an extra layer of visitor-friendly goodness to your WordPress powered site. This plugin from Odiogo adds a “Listen Now” button to your blog posts, so visitors can download or listen to your Odiogo podcasts.

I like this plugin because I am already using Odiogo to provide text-to-speech for my posts, and I want to give my visitors an easy way to download and listen to my posts when they are on the go - just another option in this multi-media world!

WordPress WednesdaysOne of my favorite things about WordPress are its plugins - small, typically free add-ons that add in additional functionality to the WordPress system.

Some of the most popular WordPress plugins are those that give a little love to the people who make our blogs successful - our commenters!

Commentluv by Andy Bailey is one of those plugins. Commentluv will show a link to the last post from the commenter’s blog in their comment. It is one of the easiest plugins to install - just upload, activate and let it do its magic!
