WordPress Weekly Watch – April 19 2015

Here are some of the best posts about WordPress from last week, including those written by me for other blogs, and those written by others from elsewhere.

April 20th to 26th 2015

To help everyone get ready for mobilegeddon, I wrote a post on the WP Eka blog highlighting some tools for getting your website mobile-ready.

On the same topic, I also dug a bit deeper into a mobile responsive testing plugin on the Pagely blog.

If you want to create a landing page or coming soon page for your WordPress website, check out the free tools I looked at in my post on the Hosting Kingdom blog.

For those new to WordPress and want to get a better understanding of how the menus work, my post on the Theme-Fusion blog will walk you through the process of setting up WordPress menus.

Tweet Wheel is a really cool and free plugin which makes it easy to auto-promote your content on Twitter. Find out more on the Pagely blog.

Elsewhere in the world of WordPress, Chris Lema shared another 40 blogging topics, this time for WordPress agencies.

On the Mad Lemmings blog, you can read about their top 10 tools for creating a blogging empire.

iThemes have launched a new Builder theme for WordPress called Anderson.  I’ve not used the iThemes Builder tool yet, but this template looks really nice.

On this very blog, new writer Ahmed shares some of the top learning resources for WordPress users.

Kevin Muldoon shares an epic post on getting the audio levels on your YouTube videos right. There’s more to this subject than you might have thought!

WordPress Weekly Watch – April 19 2015

In the latest instalment of the WordPress Weekly Watch series, I take a look at some of the posts I’ve published elsewhere, as well as some of the posts I didn’t write, but wish I did, or simply enjoyed reading from the last week.

April 13th to April 19th 2015

With three years of service now under their collective belts, I take a look at the Easy Digital Downloads plugin on the Pagely blog to see how it can help you sell digital products from your WordPress website.

Also on the Pagely blog, I take a look at Give, a free plugin which allows you to accept donations on your WordPress website, and keep all of the proceeds. This WordPress donations plugin features a great design to suit the most creative of websites.

Over on the Colorlib blog, I review the WPJobBoard plugin. This tool includes everything you need to set up your own job board, or list vacancies on an existing WordPress website. WPJobBoard even includes a suitable theme to help you get up and running as quickly as possible.

WPMU DEV recently released a new front end page builder tool for WordPress. You can check out my Upfront review over on the PremiumWP blog. Its early days for Upfront, but could it be the future of WordPress?

From elsewhere in the world of WordPress, the distributed team of Automatticians share their work spaces. While, the CodeinWP team share their latest revenue report.

And on a slightly less related note: employ the holy trinity of productivity tips to get more done.

How much money can you make with WordPress-powered affiliate-monetized websites? Cubicle Houdini shares his income report.

Brian Jackson shares his 15 minute Twitter strategy for 150% growth.

Ariel Rule shares her advice for anyone struggling with coming up with blog post titles.

Chris Lema also shares 40 blog post topics for entrepreneurs struggling to create content for their blog, as well as 40 topics for WordPress freelancers – cheers Chris!

WordPress Weekly Watch

In the latest instalment of the WordPress Weekly Watch series, I take a look at some of the posts I’ve published elsewhere, as well as some of the posts I didn’t write, but wish I did, or simply enjoyed reading from the last week.

April 6th to April 12th 2015

If you want to grow the audience for your website and build your email list, then the free email optin forms, social sharing, and visitor analytics tools from SumoMe are just what you need. Find out how they can help you in this article I wrote for the HostingKingdom blog.

Another way to promote your content is to install the free Advanced Random Posts widget which does as its name suggests. Also on the Pagely blog, I wrote about the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin. If you are publishing your own podcast, this free tool certainly is easy to use and allows you to export your feed to iTunes.

If you want more ways to promote your order content, this list of 10 plugins for breathing life back into your published content on the WPMU Dev blog is worth checking out.

I think that was about it for last week from me. Now for some other interesting WordPress-related posts from elsewhere on the internet:
