After reading article about WordPress Caching on Tutorial9 I decided to give it a try on my blog. Recently I was experiencing visibly slower page load after installing few SEO related plug-ins. Based on article’s conclusion I choose W3 Total Cache and it seems to speed up my blog at least 10x.

W3 Total Cache for WordPress
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010Crestock WordPress plug-in
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I am Crestock contributor and WordPress blogger so I got interested in announcement I received in email this morning. It looks like Crestock developed plugin that allow bloggers access to search for, and add, any Crestock image to their blog – free of charge. Obviously I applaud any marketing initiatives that will help my photos to sell better but I got couple questions.
- Why I as a blogger need high quality commercial photos for my blog? I am not making any money on my blog so why would I want to pay for images? I can get whatever I want for free under Creative Commons license. Lets say I want image of carrot on my blog. If I search for “carrot vegetable” on Crestock I got very few results.If I go to Google Image Search and search the same terms with CC license I got hundreds if images.
- How do know that this plug-in exists? Where is a press release? How do I install it? Why do I care about it? What are benefits for blogger? I would rather want a paid banner from Crestock on my site than ability to display watermarked images. The answer is Google Search. It will lead you to WordPress page for this plugin. Nothing more. What kind of marketing effort is that? 24 overall downloads, it is not going to bring any sales I think

What do you get when you combine Firefox zealotry with a healthy profit motive (or twisted greed, depending on how you look at it)? You get Explorer Destroyer, a collection of free scripts for webmasters. Sign up for Google AdSense (which will allow you to collect a commission by getting visitors to switch to Firefox), install a script, and IE users who come to your site will be greeted by either a polite suggestion that they switch to Firefox, a splash page greeting them with a Firefox entreaty before they enter your site, or something of a nuclear option: a page blocking them from entering your site until they get the Fox.
