New Look and New Host

Last night and this morning, my blog made the transition from WordPress.com to WordPress.org (self-hosted) with no small thanks to Brandon who guided me through the process. Along the way, I have selected a new theme/look for the blog, updated some of my links, and started considering what to do with my newly earned freedom.

WordPress.com accounts are heavily restricted in what they can accomplish, but WordPress.org accounts have the freedom to adjust coding and add all kinds of plugins. For example, I have added RefTagger, the plugin created by Logos Bible Software. So, now, you can simply hover over something like Matt 9:17 and see the Bible verse pop up. They don’t have NRSV, so I chose TNIV as my default.

So, what are your favorite WordPress.org plugins? Anything I should add to enjoy the benefits of my new location?

If you use facebook, you can publish post information (title, excerpt, url) to your facebook profile using a plugin that we created by ft-facepress. We have another plugin called rf-twitterpost that does the same thing for twitter.

I also like a plugin called “contextual related post”. It will put a list of related posts (based on content, not just tag or category) at the end of your post. Similarly, the sociable plugin allows readers to share your posts in various social media.

"The Levites . . . instructed the people in the Torah while the people were standing there. They read from the Book of the Torah of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read." (Neh 8:7-8)

On blogging etiquette, try to remember: "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (Luke 14:11). "Outdo one another in showing honor" (Romans 12:10).
