Just download the plugin, go to Option/Random Ads within your wp-admin and enter your ad code (be sure to separate each with <!–– End Ad ––>)

You’ve probably seen websites with featured posts or breaking news at the top and wondered how to do it. Well now you can easily add it to the front page of your WordPress blog or any category.

Why might you want to do it?
Sometimes you want your visitors to see a post but want to continue adding new content at the same time. For example, you are running a contest and want your visitors to see it first thing, but you want to continue writing about your regular subject. A great way to help your visitors see it is to use featured posts. You just type in the id of your post within the plugin options page and all your regular articles will be displayed normally.

How easy is it to install?
Extremely easy! Just download the file, upload it to your directory and head to the options page. There you enter the post ID you wish to be displayed and whatever image you wish to be shown.

You can easily add images by uploading them to the featured-posts/images folder (recommended size is 233×175). example ads are from my flickr account

What it looks like in the admin:

Wonder what it looks like on your frontpage:

Can I change how it looks?
You can also easily change the look and feel of the plugin within the separate CSS file so you don’t have to dig through the plugin to find it. This can be extremely useful if your site is using obscure percentages or you want to change the size of the featured posts box.

Do I have to show an image?
No, but it does look better with one. To not show an image just select “do not show image” within the plugin options page. After doing so you may need to change the CSS though, otherwise the featured posts plugin will leave a lot of whitespace underneath.

How do I show the plugin on my homepage only?
<?php if (is_home()) { if(function_exists(’featuredposts’)) featuredposts(); } ?>

How do I show the plugin on a specific category?
<?php if (is_category(’5′)) { if(function_exists(’featuredposts’)) featuredposts(); } ?>

I am releasing my first (and definitely not last) WordPress plugin called SEO Tip of the Day. The plugin is designed to show a different tip everyday within your sidebar. And best of all, you can change what it says and add up to 31 different tips within your Options page.

The plugin is also compatible with the newest WordPress, so you can easily add it to your sidebar through the widgets panel.

I was inspired by a password generator the other day which offered a mnemonic string of characters and numbers which should, at least in theory, be easy to memorize. This gave me an idea.
